What do you do when the one you least expect to matter…

Ends up mattering the most?

Derek Pearson likes to think he’s an easygoing guy. Uncomplicated, upfront, and unapologetic with what he wants. His what you see is what you get attitude is on prominent display for anyone who cares to look, and his foul mouth is right there to back it up should you miss the point.

However, what you see isn’t always what you get, and only a select few have ever glimpsed the real man under the brash exterior.

Among them? Professor Jordan Devaney. Complicated, high-maintenance, and vibrant, he’s Derek’s opposite in every way. From the moment they saw each other, a love-hate relationship began.

But what happens when one person wants more?





We already met Derek and Jordan in FINLEY - Derek is best buddies with Finn and Jordan is friends with Brantley.

Their story starts eleven years ago. Just like Finn and Brantley's story did.
Jordan has his first day as a professor and Derek is his student.
And they are immediately attracted to each other. But of course a student - teacher thing can never happen.
But when Derek's home-life gets to painful and he has to leave, he ends up living with Jordan. Just as roommates and friends. Nothing more.
And as the years pass - the attraction does not.
But nothing ever happens between them, until one night...one night they finally can't stay away from each other anymore. But it will only ever be this one night. Because Jordan will be leaving for the summer the next day.
The timing was never right for those two...but one day... there has to come a day when both are free and all their other problems will be gone.... right??


WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO DEREK & JORDAN???
WILL THERE BE A HEA FOR THOSE TWO ONE DAY???
OR WILL THERE BE A HORRIBLE CLIFFHANGER?



I'm not telling you that of course

eeeeeeep ... finally another Ella Frank m/m romance ☺☺☺
I loved Logan & Tate's books and Finley sooo much.
And now we get Derek and Jordan's story! I already loved them in the first book!!

You just can't help loving Derek and Jordan from the very first lines of the story!
The adorably colorful and over-the-top-gay professor Jordan and the huge muscled hottie student.
They are sooo perfectly written.


I'm usually not a huge fan of the teacher-student romance. But this is not really such a thing. Jordan is a genius and therefore only a few tiny years older than Derek.

I LOVED those two. In and out of the classroom.
I was just so sad for them, that the time never seemed to be right for them to get together.
But this way they're slowly falling in love with the other. Even when their lives takes them this way and that... in the end - we just know they'll find their way to each other again.
And it's beautiful to read about the time it takes them to get their shit together  ☺

We have sooo many adorable scenes in this book.
And moving scenes, funny scenes and romantic scenes, very sexy/erotic scenes....



I absolutely LOVED this book!
It had EVERYTHING a great romance needs!
Can't wait to read the next book - maybe model-hottie Dylan? ☺

DEVIL'S KISS was an amazingly beautiful & erotic & moving love story! Run to your nearest amazon and BUY THIS BOOK - You'll so fall in love with Derek & Jordan too!



ARC received for an honest review

I may have done the "Carlton" when I woke up to find Devil's Kiss on my Kindle - a new Ella Frank m/m is worth of my poor dance skills (sorry for anybody who has seen them)

But firstly - how freaking HOT is this cover??

We met Jordan and Derek in Finley, and knew that there was some history between them.

But holy moly - what history there was!

Right from the first chapter to the last, I was taken on an emotional ride, never knowing where the chapter was going to take me, how Ms Frank was going to make my heart hurt.

Which she did, over and over.

I loved Jordan with his quirky fashion sense, his exuberance, his heart.

And don't get me started on Derek - I tell you what, I wish I was a gay man so I could hunt him down and have my wicked, wicked way with him!

I simply adored Jordan and Derek, from the classroom days to present.  You just knew that these two were wonderful for each other - if they could get their timing and their act together!

But for us readers, this gives us a slow burning relationship.  We can feel the pull between them.  We can see them falling in love over the years.

I also loved seeing Finn and Brantley's relationship through the eyes of their best friends.

Devil's Kiss is an emotional, beautiful love story that I didn't want to end, and I hope for more in the future.

Please don't keep us waiting for more!




EXCERPT

DEREK PEARSON PUSHED open the door of Leighton, Finley & Associates, and stepped out on the paved sidewalk. It was the first day of August, and if the sweltering Floridian sun was any indication, today was going to be hotter than hell’s waiting room.
As he strolled toward the curb, he pulled a pack of Marlboros from the pocket of his shorts and flipped open the top. He needed a fucking cigarette after watching Daniel Finley and his damn professor get all sappy and shit. That was gonna get old real quick if he had to stomach their nauseating displays of I love yous longer than the fifteen minutes he’d been in there. But he’d known he had to make an appearance sooner or later; otherwise Danny boy would’ve shown up asking questions. Questions he wasn’t ready to answer.
There’d been a reason he hadn’t come around to see Finn when he first moved back from Chicago two months ago, but it wasn’t something he was in the mood to talk about yet, even if he was one of the two people on the planet who would get all the shit he’d been dealing with.
Yeah… He just wasn’t ready to go there.
With a smoke between his lips, he lit up, then shoved the pack back in his shorts. He was so damn antsy lately, and for that he could thank his brother,
He walked around to the side of his Jeep and pulled open the door. After climbing inside, he grabbed his cell phone and stared at the dark screen, contemplating his next move.
Am I really planning to do this?
Fuck, it seemed that he was, even when he knew better.
If he did this, it would be nothing more than a Band-Aid over the real problem. A shot to numb the more painful issues he was dealing with right now.
He would be slipping back into a pattern he had pulled himself out of. An
 addiction he’d broken free from. But he was also aware that if he didn’t do it, the alternative would be to spiral out of control, and solitude was no longer helping his fucked-up nerves.
He brought the phone to his ear and waited. The phone rang and rang, and fucking rang, until he was close to hanging up—and then it connected.
“You free?” were the only two words out of his mouth. He waited, not caring to pursue small talk. That wasn’t what this was about. All he cared about in that moment was getting what he needed.
When an affirmative came through the phone, he hung up, tossed it on the dashboard, and brought the Jeep to life. As he sped across town, he white- knuckled the steering wheel and didn’t allow himself to think about the consequences of what he was about to do.
It took him less than ten minutes to pull into the underground parking garage of The Palisades and take the elevator up to where his drug of choice waited for him. He glanced up into the camera in the corner of his metallic confines and stared boldly into the face of the one who was waiting at the other end of this ride.
Yeah, he was about to fall off the fucking wagon big time. Was about to slide back into the one place he promised himself he wouldn’t go again. Yet as the elevator came to a halt and the doors opened, there was no denying this was exactly what he wanted.
“I have thirty minutes,” were the words that greeted him.
Derek walked off the elevator and over to the naked man waiting for him.
He took the haughty chin between his thumb and forefinger and promised in a voice thick with arousal, “I only need ten. Take me to your room, Jordan. Time’s a wasting.”
