Confessions: Ethan begins a new sub-series within the Chicagoverse. It is an MMF contemporary romance series that revolves around Chloé Thornton-Priestley, the wild-child daughter of the three P’s. This can be read as a standalone series.
REVIEW:
Note: This is the seventh book in this series and is a spin-off from previous series. It contains major spoilers for previous books in the Chicagoverse but can be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading the previous 4 Confessions books if you haven’t though to find out how Chloe’s dads came to be.
Chloé Thornton-Priestley is missing something in her life. On her 19th birthday, she convinces her cousin Shay to take her to a high end sex club. To say she is intrigued by the owners, Zayne and Ethan, it an understatement. After observing a demonstration, she takes a seat at the bar and one of the owners approaches her. But she isn’t allowed to play and this leaves all parties a bit frustrated.
Is Chloé going to let this go? No she is not. She manages to get back into the club and the owners have a proposition for her. But she’s never done anything like this before and while she is nervous – maybe even a little bit scared – she’s not about to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime. To have that much lust and desire and focus from these two men? Oh yeah. This is definitely something she wants.
After some negotiation, a night of unbridled passion is in the offing. But Chloé has got to figure out a way around her overprotective 3 fathers and her older brother. And will one night be enough? For any of them? Chloé is discovering things about herself she never would have believed, but her connection to these men is undeniable. What they find in her is their missing third piece.
Holy hell this was hot! Why am I giving this 4.75 stars? Because once I started this book, I did not put it down until I finished it. Ella Frank’s books are like that. Highly addictive! My 1/4 star off is because it ends on a bit of a cliff! I should have known 😉 Thank God Zayne’s book is coming next month. The dynamic between these men is crucial to this story. This is a well established couple who have been each other’s bedrock since they were teenagers. While this book is titled Ethan, we really least as much about Zayne and what Ethan means to him in this story – and it is a lot. Zayne’s life experience has been very different, but his damage is difficult as well. Chloé is on the cusp of adulthood and just figuring out who she is and what she needs. I LOVED seeing Robbie and Jules and Priest again in their papa, pere and dad roles. Justin is a good older brother 😉 I cannot wait to see where this author takes this story. I have a feeling it’s gonna be epic. For Ella Frank fans, you will NOT be disappointed. Highly recommended.
