Try – verb: to make an attempt or effort to do something or in this case…someone.
Sex. Logan Mitchell loves it, and ever since he realized his raw sexual appeal at a young age, he has had no problem using it to his advantage. Men and women alike fall into his bed—after all, Logan is not one to discriminate. He lives by one motto—if something interests you, why not just take a chance and try?
And he wants to try Tate Morrison.
Just coming out of a four-year marriage with an ex-wife from hell, a relationship is the last thing on Tate’s mind. He’s starting fresh and trying to get back on his feet with a new job at an upscale bar in downtown Chicago.
The only problem is, Tate has caught the unwavering and unwelcome attention of Mr. Logan Mitchell—a regular at the bar and a man who always gets what he wants.
Night after night Tate fends off the persistent advances of the undeniably charismatic man, but after an explosive moment in the bar, all bets are off as he finds his body stirring with a different desire than his mind.
As arrogance, stubbornness and sexual tension sizzle between the two, it threatens to change the very course of their lives.
Logan doesn’t do relationships. Tate doesn’t do men. But what would happen if they both just gave in and…tried?
Read in 2023.
I should've checked the book a little more closely before giving it a chance - I'm realizing I was recommended this from a romance subreddit when it is, in fact, clearly labelled an erotica. I see why it's liked though.
I enjoyed the writing, though it did take a me a little to get used to (especially considering the author's noticeable habits, even if they don't make this unreadable), but I'm DNFing this at 27% because at least 5 sex scenes have happened and I feel like I wasn't allowed to feel the tension. Granted, this book racked up a whole lot more tension before I decided to call it quits, but I'm not as invested as I should be, and I can predict I'll be bored or even frustrated with the amount of sex before the halfway point.
Also, though I understand the author is known for straight erotica, opening a book with graphic straight sex wasn't something I expected from a gay erotica novel - like, we love bisexuality but the detail felt... a little like wish-fulfilling from the author.
