Confessions: The Princess, The Prick & The Priest (Confessions Series)

This is the fourth and final book in Confessions series and now that I finally read it, I'm sad... let me explain two things from that sentence, so we can avoid confusion ;) first of all, I said *finally* because my awesome sister J read this series way before me and kept telling me how amazing it is and that I definitely have to read it soon... but did I listened to her? nooooo... ;) will I finally learn that lesson? hopefully the time has come that once she recommend me a book, I will pick it up in a matter of weeks, not months... or worse... :) because she does know me so well, and in cases if she reads something first, she reommends me only the best of the best ;) the other part I feel like I need to explain is the *sad* comment... I'm sad, because this novel was such a fantastic conclusion to this series... like one big epilogue... and I'm in a bittersweet mood, because that's the end of this story... *sighs* and what a story it was ;) since this is the concluding novel, let me first share some spoiler-free informations and thoughts about it :) All four books tell a story about a relationship between Robbie, Julien and Joel... yes, you read that right.. we have three men in this story... if that's not your cup of tea when you read books, just skip this one... but I would still encourage you to give them a try... it was my first book with that kind of a relationship and let me tell you... I did not expect to love this story as much as I did, that's for sure ;) so maybe you will be surprised as well ;) each novel takes the relationship between our trio a bit further... in the first one ("Robbie") we have the beginning stage, when Joel and Julien do their best to woo and seduce Robbie to join them... it's not easy, because since they are married Robbie did not expect to get such a proposition... but everything is explained very clearly at the beginning, to make sure that all sides of the situation are aware of everything and I love that honesty and forwardness are such an important parts of these books ;) but that first one is definitely the least intense and the most full of sexy seduction ;) next we have the second book ("Julien") in which our main characters are in a relationship, so we can dive a bit deeper into the background informations, to help us understand why they are the way there are rigt now... as you can guess from the title, the main focus of this one is on Julien, french chef who can seduce you just by whispering a few words into your ear ;) things get more serious, because as much as he seems carefree, there are shadows in his past that he has yet to banish from his life... then we have book #3 ("Priest") which is all about Joel, or Priest, like most of the people call him... and if you think that Julien had it tough, just wait until you get to know more about Priest... yeah... it's not a pretty story... obviously, because some of you may be brand new to the series, I won't share any additional details :) now that we have these few basic informations explained, let me jump into all my feelings about this last installment :) don't worry, it still will be completely spoiler free, so even if you haven't read anything, it's safe for you to read :) How can I put into words all of my feelings I have about this gem... it's definitely my favourtie installment... finally everything is clear between our trio and all the drama is resolved... this novel is like one big epilogue... this lovely cherry on top of the delicious cake that is this series... because in this installment we have all sorts of little snippets and glimpses into the happy life of Robbie, Julien and Joel... scenes that add such a joyous layer to the story I already fell in love with... seeing them happy and interacting with their friends and family was so rewarding after knowing how much they all endured... I'm not gonna get into any more details which specific things and events you can read about, because trust me... they are all lovely and cute and just so heartwarming that I want you to enjoy them as little surprises just as I did :) the writing style is obviously as phenomenal as it was in the previous installments... trust me, it takes a special talent to make me fall in love with three men and their story ;) Ella Frank created them as such complex characters... if you think you have them all figured out after just a few chapters, just wait and see... they will all surprise you more than once ;) if I can have a suggestion for you, I would recommend you to listen to the audiobook versions of these novels... because Charlie David as the narrator is absolutely swoonworthy... he does different voices for all three characters, and they are all phenomenal :) I had the best time listening to this last part of the story and will definitely go back to re-read it at some point :) hopefully I convinced you to give this series a try... because if you haven't read them yet, you don't know how much you need in your lives this charming trio :) and that's just sad ;)

This series was definitely one of those series that I read quickly and then was mad at myself that I read so quickly, not that I could help myself. It was just that good. PLUS I stayed up until 2:30 am reading Priest (the 3rd book) which didn’t help me prolong my experience. The fourth book in the Confessions series is a wonderful way to come down off the high and action of the 3rd book. It’s definitely a book in its own right and not merely an extended epilogue, which I really enjoyed. At the heart of the story, the guys are moving their relationship forward and looking to the future. Priest and Julien want to cement Robbie within their relationship and also give him the security of a long-term commitment. But how does one do that? I think Ella came up with a wonderful way of allowing her characters to do just that in a plausible and sweet way. Additionally, I also loved the conflict Robbie felt about taking the guys home. This created so many sweet moments, but also some really funny ones, in this story. Priest drunk - that is all I’ll say. It was so fun to see the entire Bianchi clan in action. This series is one I do believe I’ll be returning to when I need something familiar and delightful. It was everything I look for in a romance. There is plot, character development that leaves you feeling like you know all the main characters well, cameos from other favorite characters, steamy moments, action, and dialogue. Quite simply, it checked all my boxes for what I'm looking for in a great read. Not just a story to entertain and distract you, but one that you find yourself talking to others about and recommending.

Confessions: The Princess, The Prick & The Priest (Confessions 4) by Ella Frank 4.5 stars!!! “…I don’t know if you two are brave or just crazy to take him on for life.” I have absolutely adored this series by Ella Frank, and in this book Ella Frank delivers the ultimate happy ever after, the cherry on top, the love lottery win and this reader had a smile from ear to ear throughout the whole book. These three stole my heart in book one, and by book four, these three had cemented their place. I loved everything about this book, from the Bianchi family, to a new Priest, to a threesome destined from the beginning. Ella Frank really opens the reader's eyes to the innermost feelings of all three of these men, how they are all on the same wavelength and each has each other's best interests at heart. How there is no two, just a three and everything revolves around that three. “Make sure Robbie knows that he’s just as important to the both of you as the piece of paper you share with Priest.” The Bianchi’s are a cool family, and their love and acceptance of this trio was there for all to see. This family open their hearts to this unusual dynamic, and Robbie’s dad summed it up beautifully… “we wish you luck. It’s probably good there’s two of you, anyway. That boy is a handful.” Open-minded, hearts full of love, this family didn’t care about the who’s, all they cared about was that their boy was happy. Someone as gregarious as Robbie was never going to settle with just one. It was the little things in this book that made all the difference, the attention to detail, the little nuances, things that seem small and yet meant so much. I don’t want to spoil anything but there was this one thing that melted my heart, and it seems our Prick and Priest melted something else too. “But your heart? Your heart, we want to steal forever.” As I said above, the change in Priest was extremely significant, such a momentous occasion and one that brought a tear to my eye. Finally comfortable, free and utterly in love with two men, this Priest was a joy to behold, and that comfortable feeling only filtered through to the two men that loved him more than life itself. “Robbie’s been great at teaching us just how fun life can be when you travel a little lighter.” Perfect ending, perfect epilogue, perfect series. I loved everything about it, and Ella Frank can do no wrong with her MM or in this case MMM. I cannot wait to see what comes next from this author.

I don’t know it I want to cry, laugh or just be sad. It doesn’t feel quite real yet that this was the happy ending for those three. In comparison to the three previous installments of the Confession Series, this one definitely had me feeling more at ease when taking into consideration what ALL has happened before. Confessions: Priest had me left feeling like an emotional wreck so the start of the book was like finally being able to take a breath of fresh air in a way, haha. (That book left me so shocked that I completely forgot to write a review right after— that’s how speechless I was.) There were so many scenes and quotes that had me smiling like an idiot, giggling out loud and just wanting to yell cause I’m just in love with the writing. I swear I had to suppress smiling too much in public because people would think I’m a bit crazy. *semi-spoiler* Not sure if I could pick a favorite scene/chapter but Priest and a few alcoholic beverages had me cracking up so badly that I so wanted to share it with everyone (even if they wouldn’t know what I’m talking about haha). The fake-abduction was so wonderful and I absolutely adored the idea of giving Robbie a memorable story of the likes of Priest and Julien to be told to future generations. Ella Frank’s writing had me crying again when they exchanged vows and it was just too much. You could practically feel the love they have for each other radiating from the words so to say! Definitely wasn’t expecting what was revealed in the epilogue but I enjoyed the thought behind it a lot. Funny enough that when being introduced to Priest in the Temptation Series, I was soooo not swooned by him what can I say— I changed my mind. The three of them are something special to whom no one ever came close to. It was a pleasure to read this final installment of the Confession Series. Like literally, haha. Like with the Temptation Series I can see myself revisiting this story over and over again and never getting bored to read it. It’s very rare for me that I fall in love with a book/series, or even an author, so this will definitely be not the last time I read something by Ella Frank! ❤️

This was the final chapter in Robbie, Julien and Priest's story and what a sweet conclusion it was. I found myself getting quite emotional a lot during this book. They've gotten past all of their secrets and traumas from their past and it's time for them just to have fun and enjoy being themselves together. That epilogue 5 years into the future was everything and I'm so glad we got to see that glimpse of what's yet to come.

Basically the title says it all. I've loved this story from beginning to end and I'm going to miss these guys along with Tate and Logan from the temptation series of the same author. And though I'm sad that these guys won't be making a return (as far as I know), I'm excited to see what else the author will bring in this genre.

What a happy ending. I never thought I’d miss anyone as much as Logan and Tate but alas here came these 3. They have had my heart the whole way through..especially priest who I adore. I was sceptical about this being a book about a 3 way relationship but it isn’t cringey or creepy it’s sweet and the love and devotion they have for each other is perfect!!!

The series is my absolute favourite story and I can't count the no of times I have re-read the series again and again. The story between the three is so beautiful and sexy that it just can't be described. I loved how the story came to a lovely end. Just loved it 💛.
