Relationships are complex.Love ever-changing.And when it comes to rules of the heart, they were made to be broken… his weaknesses to the two men he knew would bring him nothing but trouble.
But trouble was nothing new.
Just ask his crazy sisters or any of his friends, and they’d be the first to tell you:
If there was a bad decision to be made, Robbie always had a knack for making it.
And thus begins the story of the priest, the princess, and the prick.

I have no words to describe what I’m feeling right now…Priest, the Princess, and the Prick have got me all discombobulated. I’m a big pile of mush over this book. I don’t have just single lines highlighted, nope, I have entire passages and paragraphs. I laughed. I swooned. And you can bet I was fanning myself, because damn, Ms. Frank knows how to write the sexy! (And I may have even cried at a certain, really special, moment.) My heart is so full with love for all three of these characters, I cannot even handle it.
Robbie is so freaking adorable. If you’ve read the Temptation series then you already know this, but to see him blossom and really come into his own, it makes you see him with new, and even more appreciative, eyes. Kind of the way Joel and Julien see him- and lord, who wouldn’t want to be the object of their desire?!?
Priest and Julien were such a revelation in this book! There was so much I wasn’t prepared for when it came to these two, based on having “met” them in the Temptation series. Dare I say I was even a little leery when it came to the thought of them setting their sights on sweet, adorable, playful Robbie? But oh how happy I am to say that I would gladly submit to anything and everything they asked of me. Um, what I mean is, I’m cheering Robbie on from the sidelines.
“We don’t want to change you to suit us, Robert. We want you because of who you already are.”
I loved how Ella treated us to each of their points of view. Robbie is such a delight! He is so darling, and there’s just something so pure about him. We finally get a chance to see the real Robbie, not just the face he puts on for everyone else- he’s caring, conflicted, and really learning what he wants out of life. I seriously loved being inside Priest and Julien’s heads, especially when it came to their thoughts of/towards Robbie. If he only knew some of what they were thinking!
I am so looking forward to the next 2 books in this trilogy. Not only am I excited to see where this new relationship is going, and how Robbie will settle into things, but I cannot wait to dig more into both Priest and Julien’s lives- I have a feeling we’re in for quite a ride.
When I finished Ella Frank’s Temptation series about Logan and Tate, I was so sad it was over. Yes, we got six books out of them, but it was so bittersweet saying goodbye to them. That was when I saw Robbie had his own book with Priest and Julien. I was like WAIT WHAT?! Like together? Together? and then it was a like oh light bulb. OH TOGETHER!!! Now I’ve never read a book with a full-on ménage situation. Yes, I have read them where it is a part in a book but never the whole book, so this was a first for me and I absolutely fell in love.
Robbie finally became the same Robbie we will fell in love within the early Temptation books, but we really see him grow into this beautiful person because of Priest and Julian. When we first met Julian, I was not a huge fan for some reason. He always got under my skin and it is not because he was with Priest because I have been swooning over Priest since we met him. After this book though I really fell in love with Julian and Priest’s balance in their relationship as well as how they went about including Robbie. It wasn’t just a sex thing; it was about them finding someone to help balance them out which I found truly remarkable.
A bit of a cliffhanger but all in all great story and I can’t wait to see how these three guys grow into their relationship together as well as find out some of the dark secrets that are hiding in Julian and Priest’s closet.
5+**
I read Books 1-4 of the Confessions series. I couldn’t even stop to write a review of book 1 before starting book 2. I was so hooked. I absolutely loved Robbie, Julian and Priest. Every one of these characters were so different with different histories or baggage they brought into the relationship. They each deserved their own book and of course the last book brings it all together.
These books are beautifully written. I LOVE the French interspersed in there too. It is the language of love after all.
This love story is beautiful and unique and super H.O.T.. Those sex scenes were smokin!!
I’m just sad I’m finished with the series.
These are my first books by Ella. I’ll be adding her to new favorites list.
Loved this whole series!
I really enjoyed this book. Each of them are very different but they somehow fit together perfectly. I was a bit wary because Priest and Julien are married and I didn’t want Robbie to feel like a third wheel or something. But I shouldn’t have worried at all. I love how open and honest Julien and Priest are with each other. And Robbie is snarky and sassy and I love him.
There’s a lot of sex. A lot of smoking hot sex!
I would liked a bit more plot but I guess we’ll see more in the next book. I find Priest really fascinating. I really want to know more about him and his past. I am super excited to read Julien’s book!!
A Prick, a Priest, and a Princess walk into a book…and holy fuck, is it even hotter than I expected! Robbie is the first book in the Confessions series. If you read Temptation series then you have already had the pleasure of meeting Robbie, Priest, and Julien. And, if you are like me then you started to fall for Robbie throughout that series. He might be a hot mess at times but he always looks fabulous.
Robbie hates Priest. Priest loves Julien. Julien wants Robbie. They all want to be satisfied, safe, and to be happy. Robbie doesn’t get it. Why would Priest and Julien aka Prick want him? It’s not Robbie’s first rodeo when it comes to threesomes but this is more. He has a feeling that this threesome could change his life. But, first he needs to know why. Priest hasn’t exactly given him any signs that he might even like him let alone want him in his bed.
I don’t want to get into the whole story. I will say that I fell in love with these men. More and more with every confession. Every touch. Every moment. All three of them are so different but they are all beautiful inside and out. They will make you get all kinds of hot and fucking bothered, laugh, think, and feel so much more.
Overall…It’s one of my favorite Ella books! Robbie has always been one of my favorite secondary characters and this book a perfect start to his story!
P.S. Julien speaking French…swoon.
Quotes:
“There you go again with the French.”
“I know,” Julien said, and licked those full lips. “I’m still hoping it’ll have you falling to your knees.”
“I just want to be clear that I’m only here because Julien said you had an Almond Joy stashed somewhere in this car.”
Oh, you are going to work out beautifully, princesse. You already know the rules.
I loved the men in this book. All with so much love to give and heartache in their past. The plot unwinds throughout the book as clues are interspersed in several chapters. I definitely have to read the next book because the cliffhanger demands it. Luckily the book is already available.
This is a wonderful series, that stars Robbie, Julien and the amazingly sexy Priest. This is the first book in the Confession series and it’s told from Robbie’s POV. There’s a bit of angst, a ton of laughs and amazing chemistry between these three men. Ella Frank brings these characters to life and made me love them so much, start with Robbie and then keep going because you’ll never want to let these men go.
Since reading the Temptation series, I’ve loved Robbie and I was so happy to see he had his own story and could not wait to read it. I was not disappointed, This novel was intense, engrossing and riveting. Its the first book in the Confession series and I loved every minute of it. This MMM novel featuring Robbie, Julian and Priest was hott and steamy yet sweet and caring. The chemistry between them all was intense. Robbie was his sassy amazing self and you just can’t help but love him and we are introduced to the private lives of Julian and Priest in this novel. The story was given to us in varying POV so you got a look into the minds of each of the three characters.
This was a great start to this series and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of MM romance.
This was such a steamy treat. Ella does an amazing job writing. Omg and that ending!!!! Here I kept thinking…there’s a twist coming, there’s a twist coming, what could it be?!?! Yup, I totally, didn’t guess it.
*4,5 stars*
I absolutely adored the Temptation series by Ella Frank and we got introduced to Robbie in the amazing series so we already knew some of his background story but now we’ll get to learn more. I felt a bit disconnected at first but the story definitely grew on me. I laughed and cried with the characters with what they went through and I have a feeling there’s more to come…
When Robbie found out the truth about Priest and Julien, he didn’t want anything to do with them anymore but sometimes you just can’t help the way you feel and the more he learns about their relationship, the more he is willing to put himself out there again.
Priest and Julien have been very happy together and no matter how much they’ve liked someone to be in their bed, they haven’t wanted more than that… until now. But will Robbie give them a chance?…
This steamy book combined heat with humor. I couldn’t put it down.
You’re going to need to give me a few minutes to be able to fully express my thoughts on the fabulous, amazing, delectable Robbie, book one in Ella Frank’s Confessions series.
Robbie is so much more than his public princess persona. He’s a man looking, wanting, needing a real connection—to find the elusive love and life that he so very much wants. He thought he’d found it a couple times, but in reality nothing in Robbie’s romantic past would truly prepare him for the feelings he’s discovered for Priest and Julien.
After being introduced to Robbie, Priest and Julien in the equally amazing Temptations series, I knew I would absolutely fall in love with this trio. I loved their connections—Priest and Julien, Priest and Robbie, Julien and Robbie and of course, Priest and Julien and Robbie. I fell hard for these men—their imperfections, their still hidden secrets, their love, their romance. Robbie is so much more than a hot and sexy MMM romance, it’s a story of love, life, circumstances and finding that special someone who makes you a better person. And it may take more than one person to do that.
I cannot wait for more Confessions and am waiting with bated breath for Julien to release in May.
Robbie, Robbie… what an amazing princess you are.
I loved this story! It was so satisfying to have this character get his own story at long last.
Both Julien and Priest are amazing characters as well, which they needed to be to deserve Robbie. I love Priest especially, what pain must lie in his past, for him to have become so in need of total control?
Julien is sweet and so charmingly French! I love the French dialogue, and I’m so happy the author did her homework and included actual phrases and didn’t limit herself to a couple of easy swear words or endearments. This attention to detail, to me, reflects her dedication to her craft and is one of the many things that make her books such a joy to read.
I love how the three of them come together. Seeing Robbie connect to Priest and see Priest in a new light was for me one of the highlights of the story. His connection to Julien came more easily, but wasn’t “less” in any way because of that.
I don’t have time to wax more poetically about how amazing this book is. And it absolutely is! Because I need to read “Julien” tout de suite!!
A la prochaine, mes amis!
2 is hot but 3 is explosive!
I loved this book! Robbie is such a great character. I fell for him and his sassy happy in Try and never looked back. I was so happy for him to get his own book and his HEA, well sort of. I need the next book like I need air!
The relationship between Priest, Julian, and Robbie was all about finding your happy balance. As a couple Priest and Julian are scorching hot; add in Robbie and it is explosive.
I love absolutely everything I’ve read by Ella Frank and I can’t wait to read more! If you like M/M and M/M/M reads, this is a definite author to read.
I absolutely loved this book. Robbie, Julien and Joel were perfect for each other and I loved that their relationship was more than sex. I’m excited to know more about Julien and Joel’s past because with the way it was brought up in this book, I know it will somehow come crashing into their lives in probably the worst ways. It’s just a matter of when and how. This book was funny, sweet, steamy and all around enjoyable with such great characters. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Readers that love M/M/M reads will enjoy this one.
Robbie is easy to fall in love with.
When the love of two find that it is the love of the third that makes them all complete, then you have the description of this complicated love story. It is not a triangle, but the mingling of three hearts finding their way to make each other happy. Who says love has to be conventional, neat and tied up with a bow? Love can be messy, but when you know, you know. Unconventional, absolutely! Right for Priest, Julien and Robbie, absolutely!
And this story has now left us wondering what is in store next for these thee amazing men!
Sooo goood!! If you liked Robbie from the Temptation Series you will absolutely fall in love with him in this book. Ella Frank knocks it our of the park yet again. Looking forward to reading Julien’s story!
What can I say in my humble opinion Ella Frank is a genius. I didn’t think I could love anyone more than Logan and Tate but oh my days these three are certainly up there. I already knew I loved Robbie and that getting to know him more was going to be fun but Julien and Priest were such a brilliant surprise. This relationship is already so exciting, but I know-it’s only going to get better and I can’t wait because the priest, the princess and the prick have so much more to show us. Of course the heat level is off the charts, but this relationship is about so much more and I’m so eager to read everything there is to know. If you like m/m/m I cannot recommend this highly enough
