TEMPTATION SERIES: TRY - - TAKE - - & - - TRUST
Any additional comments?
Ella Frank is by far the best author of the M/M romance genre dialog that I have ever read or listened to in her temptation series. Her mastery of word play is nothing short of literary art. Reading and / or listening to her books is like watching a fencing match; two friendly opponents thrusting, attacking, pairing the point of the words, with a counterpoint phrase, is nothing short of that the crystallized contained violence of classical music. It is fierce, violent, scary, and utterly festinating. It is like watching two people engaged in the stylized movements of a tango. It begins in a slow rhythmic approach of the two bodily magnetic forces of the dancers as they first attract, capture, and then spiral around each other until they touch, embrace, then fly apart but not too far to as to brake the power of the gravitational attraction of raw emotion, that will draw them back together for the next round of poetic movement. I simply could not put it down.
Shannon Gunn is one of the best narrators of audio books. I have only been disappointed once in his interpretation of an author’s intent but not in this series; and not this time! He is spot on and a perfect fit for the temptation series. His range of character interpretation is in a word . . . superb! He captures all the whit, whimsy, drama and explosive flash of the author’s words. It is like a kid driving glove finely fitted to the driving force of the author’s hand.
My only disappointment at this point is with Amazon and their Audible division for not having the whispersync audio ready and available, as of the date of this review, for the third part of the temptation series TRUST. To borrow a phrase from the author “F. . . ing Unbelievable!”

TAKE" will definintly get you there
Oh geez, book 1 was really good this book is really good. Its always nice to have another look at characters you like. This is indeed an erotic series, these guys are classically hot and could easily get anyone they want. Yet when they choose each other they keep you informed as to why. Its raw attraction at it's best. Learning curves with sex is a fun part of this series too.
Just enjoy its for your listening pleasure.

Amazing!!
It took me a while to warm to the narrator but after a few chapters I realised the voice was perfect for the story. He uses a different voice for each character so you don't get confused as to who is speaking. The series is wonderful and the audio really brought the characters to life. A love story full of passion and and at times an intense bond that builds.

I still can't cope with the narrator
I will never listen to something narrated by Shannon Gunn again. It's embarrassingly bad.
It's a shame because the story is hot.

Love the book, not the narrating.
What did you like best about Take? What did you like least?
I love this series and have already rated it on Goodreads, my maid aim here was to review the narrator.
How could the performance have been better?
At times it was spoken too slowly but my main problem was with the voice of Logan done too deeply it sounded like a parent overdoing a voice at bed time. Not my favourite narrator.
