Robbie (Confessions #1)

I really loved this book, that\’s why it hurts so much that I hate the audio. The narrator is so stereotypical in his portrayal of Robbie. And Julien in FRENCH but no French accent? That is a big thing!!! I hate that I wasted money on this.

I enjoyed the characters and felt they were complex and well written. The story was slow to take off with a \’secret/surprise\’ element that took forever to the author to get to and a dom sub element that wasn\’t even exceptionally dom or sub. Not bad, and I will likely purchase the 2nd book in the series when it is released as I did enjoy the characters and am interested in learning what happens with the \’cliffhanger,\’ but I can\’t say it is the best gay/romance/relationship story I\’ve read. However the characters did develop and grow throughout the book and more and more were revealed about them, but again, it was a very slow process to get the story rolling but picked up momentum after it got going. One additional thing: I am a gay man who lived in France for over twenty years … Julian would likely be uncircumcised, a big fetish opportunity for the author to capitalize on for the American readers, but it was never even mentioned in the book.

Once again, Ella Frank has delivered a fantastic story and a GREAT start to a companion series for the Tempation series. Enter, Robbie Bianchi, Joel Priestly and Julian Thornton, the most Unlikely trio you would ever think of being possible. I am not gonna spoil a thing, just tell you something that has stuck with me since the very first Tempation novel….You can never know unless you TRY. Thank you Mrs.Frank for another excellent story. I look forward to Julian and Priest.

I am so glad I held off and avoided all posts and spoilers for this set of books. IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT. Everything you could ask for when getting to the start of Robbie\’s story. I\’m already loving the dynamic between the three men and we just got started. The way Priest and Julian were both instantly drawn to Robbie and how they all need and take different things from their relationship was great to see. This was a perfectly flowing story line. The book and audio length were great for a book one, but I am also so ready for more and can\’t wait to jump into Julian and Priest\’s books. Audio – After listening to Shannon Gunn narrate Tate and Logan\’s story line i am so glad he wasn\’t used for these men. Don\’t get me wrong Shannon was great, but he will always be \”Tate & Logan\”. We really needed a new voice for these new characters and after listening to this audiobook it\’s clear that the perfect person is Charlie David. He did an amazing job capturing the voices and characteristics for each of these men. And the French Charlie threw in….. Jesus… Love Everything about this book.

I loved this book and I really loved hearing Robbie, Priest, and Julien come to life! Charlie did such a fantastic job with these three characters, bringing out their individual personalities. Julien and Priest were such a surprise, I wasn\’t expecting all the feelings they evoked! But I so enjoyed seeing them as a couple, how truly loving and caring they were with each other. I do admit to being leery at first, not sure how things were going to work with them being married and bringing Robbie into the midst of it all. But all my worries were put to rest once I \”saw\” how much they really did care about him. Robbie is so freaking adorable and I just wanted to see him happy! It seems like he\’s finally found the place he really belongs.
