Review: Aced by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine
SYNOPSIS:
What happens when these two worlds collide?
Ace Locke is Hollywood’s hottest action hero. Women across the globe fling their panties in his direction, but Ace isn’t interested in those—he’s more of a boxer briefs kind of guy. Specifically, those of the nearly naked male model on a billboard he drives past every day.
Though he recently made headlines for his public coming out, Ace is wary about pursuing a relationship, fearing what the court of public opinion will do to his career. But there’s something in the model’s expression that intrigues him and has him wondering what if?
Dylan Prescott just scored his biggest modeling campaign yet. One that has him plastered all over L.A. in not much more than what he was born with. And when he’s cast in Ace’s latest blockbuster, it puts him in close proximity to his ultimate fantasy.
Outwardly confident, Dylan has no problem with his sexuality or his pretty-boy looks, and uses both to his advantage to get what he wants. And what he wants is the impossible—Ace Locke.
REVIEW:
This book was an absolute freakin delight to read. I was grinning and giggling non-stop. Ace and Dylan have been lusting after each other for a long time and when they finally meet face to face, well lets just say both their worlds were turned upside down.
I love how Ace has this bad-boy vibe he is giving off but can be the sweetest, most tender-hearted man underneath it all. Dylan oozes pure sexual confidence but has a lot of skeletons in his closet. I loved that the animosity they have towards each other morphs into lust and then undeniable chemistry. Seriously, their chemistry is potent and I couldn’t get enough of these two. The sneaking around, the fantasies fulfilled, the hidden moments, I was fan myself one minute and then the next I was swooning.
There are also hidden treasures throughout this book if you are fans of Ella and Brooke’s other novels, such as Logan making an appearance. I squealed out loud when that happened. The relationship is balanced perfectly, as are the friendships and individual lives of the characters. It’s the type of story that reads so effortlessly you want to slowly savor every detail but also you can’t put the book down.
Yet in the back of my mind, was a lurking anxiety because the whole story centers around their growing relationship and how it’s hidden from the public and when the ball dropped, I was gutted. And of course it ends on a gigantic cliff hanger…off to book 2 I go!
