Confessions #9
Chloé
“Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.” ~ Lucille Ball
Stubborn. Sassy. Wild.
Chloé Thornton-Priestley has lived a life most dream of.
One that was nurtured with love, acceptance, and trust.
Raised by three wonderful men, she is free-spirited and
has never let society’s conventions tame her.
Why would she, when she’s seen what beauty can come
from an unconventional love?
Life is good.
She has her family. Her dream job. Her future is going exactly as planned.
The last thing she is looking for is more men in her life.
Her fathers and brother are enough.
So no one is more surprised than Chloé to find out she
has fallen in love with not one, but two of them.
Ethan Holt and Zayne Copeland are exactly what she wasn’t looking for.
Sexy, possessive, and protective, these two doms make her want to
kneel and submit—something she never would’ve dreamed of in the past.
But one look at the two of them and Chloé knew she was in trouble,
and she hasn’t looked away since.
Life has a funny way of knowing exactly what you need—or in Chloé’s case, whom—and now that she’s found them, she plans to never let them go.
Chloé is the conclusion of Chloé, Ethan & Zayne's story and should only be read after Ethan & Zayne.

A satisfying conclusion to this MMF romance
Ella Frank wraps up this delicious MMF with a final instalment that runs the full gamut of emotions and has a perfect balance between the spice and the sweetness.
It also has a sharp tang of sorrow as Chloé has to deal with an unexpected event which brings her and Ethan closer together as he and Zayne provide her with support.
There’s the usual sexual tensions and explorations you’d expect from an Ella Frank book but she also throws in a surprise or two to take things away from the usual run of the mill experiences and I very much enjoyed it.
We get to catch up with Chloé ‘s dads and her brother Justin, and also find out more about Ethan’s parents, before all is nicely wrapped up for the threesome with a very solid HEA and a bright future together.
While I still don’t see the need to split up the story across three books when each one has had elements from each of the main characters rather than focusing on just one at a time, I have to say it’s given the reader a very solid romance with plenty of action.
There’s not really been any tensions as such, not from the relationship itself, so it’s a fairly low angst read across the trilogy and it sits nicely into the wider Confessions series as a whole.

Okay. I am just having a bit of trouble with gathering my thoughts with this one because I didn't hate it by any means. No. And I LOVE Ella Frank. This series just wasn't for me. Not for obvious reasons. I read everything, so MMF, Dom/sub, neither of these bother me, like, at all. I know some people won't enjoy this series because of these themes, but that's not me.
1. Chloe.
I still don't like her age. Not because they are older men and she's younger or whatever, but because it sort of caused a divide amongst them. They were well put together and mature, and she was written a bit bratty (not in the good BDSM way), among other things that I can't put my finger on right now, and it made her feel separate from them...which brings me into the next reason...
2. It didn't feel very polyamorous.
I just didn't get her with them. It's like they never properly found their groove. It felt like the book was trying too hard to sell me on their chemistry but I never FELT it. Zayne and Ethan felt like a couple, but it never felt like she properly blended in with them. With Priest and Julian, she did an excellent job of showing their long-term chemistry, and then seamlessly bringing in a third who never felt like he was on the outside even though Robbie, at the start, did assume it was a temp thing. It just didn't have any of that here.
3. Nothing really happened.
The story just didn't have enough elements to keep me interested. There were no real twists and turns at all. Just sort of...bliss? Which is good for an epilogue but sort of boring for a full length book. And then the whole Paris thing at the end? Which I guess was supposed to be the twist?
4. Head Chef
I get she's a great chef and trained under the best in her papa Julien, however, she is still only 19 years old. She gets one night to feature her own meal and is then offered the job of Head Chef at Julien in Paris. I mean, I get it, but they make constant references to her being irresponsible and constantly late, and she's ONLY NINETEEN. She may make good food but hadn't proved herself responsible at all. But that's just my opinion.
5. The Paris Thing
I guess this was supposed to be the twist? They offer to let her become the head chef at Julien in Paris but she doesn't want to leave her men...who also have a business and a home in Paris? Who then tell her they would move to Paris with her? But she doesn't want to force them to give up everything? They don't seem to have vast amounts of friends, and neither of them has any family, and they also have a business they're opening in Paris. I don't think they're giving much up...and they offered to move there. But what is actually holding her back are her fathers...who also offered her the opportunity. It just felt like a mess and drama for no reason. Another reason to dislike Chloe.
So, while this wasn't a terrible book, it wasn't all that great either. And though all Ella Frank's series are always re-read for me, I'll be skipping this one. And yes, I feel bad leaving such a negative review because I LOVE her. I dislike doing this as well.

I finished this a few days ago and it took me that time to get my thoughts in order. Normally I like to write a review as soon as I finish a book so my thoughts and feelings are fresh. In the case of Confessions: Chloe I needed some time to mull things over and I decided to go with unbiased honesty in my review. This was not my favorite Ella book. It honestly pains me to say this because normally I adore this author. The 3 P's are my favorite poly couple ever and I think I may have gone into this one with expectations based off that. Truthfully, if we didn't have so many cameos of them I think I may have rated this one even lower than the 3.5 stars I decided on.
First the good: Ethan and Zayne. I felt their connection. It was solid and strong. It was based on years and years of friendship. Seeing each other at their highest and lowest. When Ethan would reassure Zayne during one of his low moments it was so beautiful. Yes Ethan is a controlling dom, but he's also a total caretaker. His relationship with Zayne was something to behold and I loved all the little glimpses we get into their past as boys as well. It was such a treat.
..."You're the very thing that lights up my world. You'll never be alone again, never not have a place to come home to."
Now onto the not so good: Chloe 🙈. I tried so hard to see the three of them as an equal unit, but it just did not feel that way. It felt very off balance with Zayne and Ethan as this power couple who brings in a 3rd as a submissive. I just did not see the connection between the three of them as stronger than the connection between the men. At some points I even just wanted Chloe to go away. It did not feel cohesive like the 3 P's at all. Also, as a mother of girls, if my 19yo told me she was moving in with her boyfriend after only a few months, (never mind TWO men 10 years older than her), I would lose my shit not rent a moving truck. And I don't think I'm alone on that front. Adding to that her being offered to run a Michelin star restaurant at that age, it just seemed a little too hard to believe.
Maybe this is an it's me, not the book thing. It isn't because this is an MMF as I have read others and given them 5 stars - for example:What We May Be by Layla Reyne. - That being said, I guess not every book from a loved author can be a homerun and that's okay. This may work for you and I urge you to give it a chance and see what you think. I'll just be here crossing my fingers that the next book Miss Ella blesses us with will be Wicked Burn aka Olsen's story from the Chicago Heat series.

I’ve given myself some time (and a re-read of Robbie, Julien, and Priest) before attempting a review. Chloe is the child of the three Ps. This series within a series was basically a retelling of Robbie with girl parts. Considering how much I enjoyed Robbie, these books should have worked for me. They didn’t. See, I have issues with
I’m sure I’m in the minority with my feelings. That’s ok. It’s all subjective. Your mileage may vary.
Side question Was Justin introduced outside of the books about Chloe, Ethan, and Zayne? Did he appear in some other book by the author that I missed? This is what happens when authors have so many books that are interconnected. You never know when you’re missing some important information. This is why several of my friends read ALL of the books in order. I can get behind that when something like this happens, and I can’t figure out if I’ve missed it by not reading another book.

After having read Confessions: Ethan and Confessions: Zayne I couldn't wait to get more! I've been looking forward to this third installment ever since. I picked it up as soon as I could and got right back into the Confessions world! I so enjoyed this continuation!
Chloé, Zayne, and Ethan's journey continues! Sometimes life can bring surprises to you and in Chloé's case they come in the form of Ethan and Zayne. Heat and hearts collide with these three. Can they have it all with their love?
I was so glad to be back with Chloé, Ethan, and Zayne! With all three installments I was so glad that I got all of their realness and that I got to dig even more with Chloé. Getting to see these three fall, face things, and see their lives collide was something I very much enjoyed! Once again, these three had me feeling so much! They are heat filled goodness together!
With Confessions: Chloé, Ms.Frank has created such a good conclusion that brought steam and so many feels! I can't wait to read what this author brings our way next!
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from Grey's Promotions / the author*

Fantastic!
Cue ALL the feelings with this glorious book! It just made my heart so happy! What a fabulous conclusion to Chloe, Zayne, and Ethan's story. We pick up right where we left off at the end of Zayne's book and get to spend a few hundred pages just enjoying the life these three are building together. We get it all. The love, the heat (so much heat), the feelings, the emotions, the nostalgia...just everything I was hoping for and more. I laughed, I cried a few times, and I was left smiling from ear to ear. For fans of Robbie, Julien, and Priest--they have some wonderful page time in this book as their little girl is all grown up, has fallen in love, and is ready to tackle the world. Bonds are strengthened--between the 3 new loves, between 3 fathers and their daughter, and between 3 fathers and the men that love their little girl. I could not have loved this book more! Wonderful conclusion to a great series!

This was what surrender felt like. What peace and happiness felt like.
This is a great ending to a wonderful addition to the Confessions series. Seeing Chloe, Zayne and Ethan fall in love and find themselves in a loving relationship was beautiful to read. And I have to say, I just adored seeing Robbie, Julie and Joel on page again - almost every fabulous moment in this series had to do with them ... they are just so captivating. I really hope big brother Justin gets his own HEA - I would love to read that.

Love this conclusion to my second favourite throuple's series.
So many changes in Chloe's life as she takes the next step with Ethan and Zayne.
Full of sweet and spice, with a bite of sorowy, I ran the full gamut of emotions
It picks up right where Zayne ended, so you will need to have read the other two books (and you will love that you have).
But now I am sad that their story is at an end.
So, for now, Ethan and Zayne say goodbye

Meh. Probably 2.5 stars. Bumped it up to 3 because do love the three P's.
Rinse and Repeat. Groundhog day. I honestly feel like each story is the same in the Chicagoverse series. Only difference are the characters names.
Very predictable, a bit boring, very disappointing. Not sure how how they continuously get 4-5 star ratings.

Perfect conclusion to Chloé, Zayne and Ethan’s story. Zayne and Ethan are the only two people that have any chance of handling Chloé, well except for her dads. The support and love each other beautifully. I’m sad to see their story coming to an end.

Honestly, I mostly felt like this book was unnecessary. Their story could easily have been told as a duet. I also think, regarding the series as a whole, the bridge between “insta-lust” and “forever love” was nonexistent. I didn’t really feel a relationship build, so I kind of lost interest and skimmed this one.

Confessions: Chloe is freaking fabulous. Truly THE perfect conclusion to the story of the sexy throuple that is Ethan, Zayne and Chloe, Ella Frank wrote her heart out in the very best way. If I thought I was completely enamored by this trio, those feelings were magnified tenfold with this book. We get to watch Chloe truly find herself both professionally and personally and it was a thing of beauty. I found myself just so proud of her as she not only tackles becoming a renowned chef in her own right but finds her place withn Zayne and Ethan that is not only carnal but full of real emotion and adoration.
What struck me most as the overriding sentiment I had while reading this incredible book was love. There is such an abundance of it throughout this well-crafted story, I found myself smiling like a fool. From the 3 P's, who only want the best for their girl, as she is now getting ready to move in with Zayne and Ethan, she gets unlimited support and guidance to make sure she is ready and willing to become a 3rd in every way possible. Not to mention all the help from Julien as Chloe is fully tested to come up with a menu that will blow the mind's of every food critic in place for her big night. I have to add that I was salivating at the items she had her fathers try and their pride in her was felt with every delectable bite.
Then there is Ethan and Zayne. The men who cherish Chloe in both mind and spirit and know how to push her limits both in and out of the bedroom, always having her best intentions foremost in their thoughts. I fell even harder for them and how they always want Chloe's satisfaction and comfort, knowing enough when to encourage her to break through any hesistations she might have and when to back off. And let me just say that their erotic trysts were perfectly placed and classic Ella Frank, once again causing me to fan myself and often.
The last of the 6 of Chloe's men, her brother Justin, remains a bit of an mystery as his absence could be felt that caused a bit of her hurt and confusion more than just a few times. But something tells me he has quite the story to tell and I can only hope this talented author will give him his time in the sun, so to speak, in a future book. Justin's connection with Chloe is a blessing for both of them and I loved how in tune they were with each other, close siblings they will always be no matter where their lives ultimately take them.
With Chloe at a proverbial crossroads as she is presented with the ultimate offer she never even dreamed of, I was impressed at how she took her time to contemplate her near future should she accept this gracious opportunity. Her feelings, especially toward's her 3 P's was crucial in her decision and again it was that huge love Chloe, Priest, Julien and Robbie have for one another that showed just how far all of them have come and how incredible their lives are and will always remain. There were also a few very touching scenes between her and Ethan as the last of his walls finally came down letting her see the real man behind the tough facade which completely tugged at my own heart. And I admit a few tears were shed as those final chapters and the outstanding epilogue were read, bursting with such joy for all of these exceptional characters.
Confessions: Chloe (sorry I don't know how to type the e with the proper accent!) is swoony, sigh-worthy and superbly steamy. Simply one of Ella Frank's best yet, her words felt like a big hug with all of that love being embraced by each and every one of these delightful and heartwarming characters. There are moments of sharp wit courtesy of Robbie and Zayne, as well, that provided the perfect levity when things got a bit too overwhelming. In addition, I really enjoyed how Priest and Ethan, as the two most serious and contemplative of Chloe's men eventually came to terms with their common protectiveness knowing full well she'll never feel unloved or groundless as long as she has her guys by her side.
I obviously couldn't get enough of this book and storyline and was so sorry to see it end. However, with that being said, I can't help but be glad with the way everything turned out and I know this entire series will forever be a reread for me. Start at the beginning or at least start with book 7, Confession: Ethan to find out all about this enticing and wickedly sexy threesome. You'll be very happy you did.
5+ huge stars!

There are moments of sharp wit courtesy of Robbie and Zayne, as well, that provided the perfect levity when things got a bit too overwhelming. In addition, I really enjoyed how Priest and Ethan, as the two most serious and contemplative of Chloe's men eventually came to terms with their common protectiveness knowing full well she'll never feel unloved or groundless as long as she has her guys by her side.
I obviously couldn't get enough of this book and storyline and was so sorry to see it end. However, with that being said, I can't help but be glad with the way everything turned out and I know this entire series will forever be a reread for me. Start at the beginning or at least start with book 7, Confession: Ethan to find out all about this enticing and wickedly sexy threesome. You'll be very happy you did.
5+ huge stars!

Chloé is moving in with her men. It's time for her to start the next phase of her life with the loves of her life. What will her new life look like, sharing a home with two deliciously dominant men? Will they want complete submission? Is she capable of that?
Ethan and Zayne have their beautiful love in their home with them, but they also know they can't clip her wings. So when she's given an opportunity that may take her away from them, they know they have to support her, allow her to flourish, but not without letting her know how much they love her.
Chloé, Ethan & Zayne's story concludes with little angst, deepening love, and even more passion. Chloé's family is present of course, and I loved getting more glimpses of her dads and her brother, and reading as they opened their hearts to Chloé's partners. I'm going to miss these 3 but I hope I get more of them as the Confessions series continues.

Note: This is the ninth book in this series and is a spin-off from previous series. It contains major spoilers for previous books in the Chicagoverse and can’t be read as a standalone.
Chloe Thornton-Priestly is determined to have her own life. She’s falling in love with Ethan and Zayne. They take an amazing trip to Paris that seals their relationship for good. When they return home, Chloe is ready to get back to work. While they were gone, Zayne’s father decides to get into the press and so the hounding to find out who Chloe is has died down.
Moving in with her men is a big step – but she’s ready for it. Isn’t she? Both guys make things easier for her and her fathers are even sort of onboard 😉 Back at the restaurant Chloe takes charge. She does a great job and her père, Julien, decides she’s ready to develop her own menu and show it to the world. She’s nervous. She isn’t sure she’s up to the task. It takes her men to make her realize that her family would never have put her in that position if she wasn’t ready to succeed. She takes quite a while to work on things and test things out. Ethan and Zayne are there to help relieve the pressure 😉
Of course Chloe’s menu is a hit. She’s ready to take the next step. However, she isn’t prepared when her fathers offer her the next step. She’s not sure that she’s ready for what they offer and she doesn’t know how that will affect her life just as she’s got things working with Zayne and Ethan. If she takes on this new role, how will thing work for them and with them? Plus she’s got to deal with loss and she’s never had to do that before. Luckily Zayne and Ethan are there for her. And they will help her through it and make sure she comes out the other side to take control of her destiny. They will be there every step of the way.
All in all, this was a wonderful conclusion to this story arc in the Chicagoverse. Chloe and Ethan and Zayne are able to make things work for them. Even Chloe’s fathers come around to what these men mean to their only daughter. It’s clear they only want what is best for her, for her to be happy and fulfilled and however they can support doing that for her is what they intend to do. Of course it’s a bit of a fantasy with a Billionaire and a Senator’s son who can make things happen for her, but that’s half the fun of the series. It actually takes quite some time – and into this third book before Chloe is really aware of just who Ethan is and what that means. He shares things with her that no one else knows except for Zayne. Zayne and Ethan have kept each other sane and grounded for years, but not they are ready for more with Chloe. There are quite a few appearances by Chloe’s family here – including her brother Justin, cousin Shayla, Robbie, Julien and Priest. Chloe struggles a little with meeting everyone’s expectations, but she really is ready for the challenge. Now that everyone is on the same page, it’s time for Chloe to take her place and do what she was born to do. Again, this is a bit of a wonderful fairytale ending but worth the journey. Recommended.

Passionate, emotional & loving
OH. MY. GOD. Ella Frank what did you just do to my heart?
The final installment in Ethan, Zayne, and Chloe's story, CONFESSIONS: CHLOE, had me experiencing every feeling and emotion possible, such was the power of Ella's words. Heartache, sorrow, joy, frustration, passion, understanding, and love, all combining to ensure a highly captivating and emotional story.
Chloe, Ethan, and Zayne's relationship developed and strengthened naturally during the final path on their journey. Chloe became the strong woman I always knew she was with the decision she had to make, Ethan shared his biggest heartache, while Zayne continued to be there with his constant support and love for both. The heat in their relationship grew spicier, the cabana scene sizzled, and the "earl, viscount and duchess" were simply ravishing. Their emotional connection was stronger, they became more aware and had a greater understanding of each other's thoughts and needs.
I loved that Chloe's family played a larger role in the lives of Chloe and her men. I adored the interaction between all five men, it was obvious how much they all loved Chloe and wanted her to be happy. Justin, Choe's brother, is such a stirrer, I can't wait for his story. It is in a time of heartache when Priest and Ethan share a moment which had me sighing with so much love. Chloe Thornton-Priestly is a lucky woman.
I adored this trilogy. It was wonderful witnessing Robbie, Julien, and Priest's sassy little girl grow into an even sassier and strong woman. The love, care, and understanding shown by the five important men was simply perfect, it was easy to see why Chloe became the woman she did. Ella knows how to pack an emotional punch and she definitely did with CONFESSIONS: CHLOE. I'm still drying my eyes and trying to wipe the smile off my face after that ending.
Next up is the final book in the Confessions series, Confessions: Justin. He's a bit of a mystery, and I'm dying to find out his background.

Petit Fille
As the final book of trilogy, it’s a lot of frivolous fun. Some of the loose ends are neatly tied.
It’s really frustrating that Zayne doesn’t come into his own. Yes, he’s content, even happy. Through out the trilogy, Zayne wants to contribute, he drifts a little, feels under valued. The interactions between Zayne & Ethan, when they take a private moment to check in are just simply beautiful. Ethan has his family legacy, his business acumen; Chloe is a talented chef with a big, wild, infectious family; Zayne should have something special of his own.
Ethan’s family story finally comes out to Chloe, but they never shared it with her family- as close as they are it’s weird, even weirder Priest didn’t have Henri investigate their backgrounds.
Ethan mentions legally binding them, meetings with lawyers will happen, but it didn’t because Priest showing up to review anything presented to Chloe could have a goldmine.
While Zayne & Ethan get one on one time, Chloe doesn’t get individual bonding time with either man. Yes, they have little snippets like Ethan and Chloe at Pops funeral, it’s a stolen moment. Was actually hoping to see Chloe’s family bring in Ethan & Zayne much like the Bianchi’s did for the Priest and Jules.
Finally, my biggest pet peeve is Chloe’s age, not within the relationship but career wise. It just irritated me EVERY time there was ramblings about how she worked so hard, “her whole life” This story starts literally on her 19th birthday, growing up in an environment is not putting in the hard work, she’s maybe 2 years out of high school, can she be a remarkable prodigy- absolutely. But it would have served this story much better if she had been 22 and trying to do something risqué.
Ethan, Zayne, & Chloe are madly in love but this feels more like a HFN than a HEA
And hopefully we will get Justin’s story and glimpses their future.

Confessions: Chloe is the conclusion of this trilogy and the series finale.
Chloe Thornton-Priestley has three fathers, an older brother and now two possessive men in her life. She has grown up with unconventional love and now she experiencing her own version of it and is determined to keep Ethan and Zayne all to herself.
She is moving in with the guys and will be living above their club. Luckily her fathers don’t know what the three of them got up to opening night in Paris. However, doubts are creeping in over how they will all cope living together.
Life is going to change for all three. Luckily for Chloe all the men in her life love her and are making an effort to get along. Ethan and Zayne finally meet her brother and it’s fun watching the siblings interact with each other on family Pasta night. I thought it was lovely for the two to be accepted into a loving family which they both haven’t had for a long time.
It was fun getting to see both Zaynes dominant and subservient sides. All their surprises and role playing are very amusing. I loved that we learnt more about Ethan, who he really is, his family tragedy and how he still struggles with it all. When tragedy strikes her family she is comforted by him as he understands what she is gonna through.
Her fathers decide it’s time she showcases her own menu and fulfil her dreams of running JULIEN . She is eager to make them proud of her. Chloe is confused when offered a different future but as usual all the men in her life pull together to make her dreams come true
Great epilogue to round off their story and though her life has changed in so many ways, Ethan and Zayne have been there for her through it all. Their relationship has grown and developed, it may be unconventional but all three have shown what unconditional love really is and I’ve enjoyed following them on their journey.

The Confessions series has long been a favorite of mine and I was SO excited when Ella announced its continuation. Sometimes next generation series are hit or miss for me and this one was a total HIT! Sometimes I find reading that favorite characters have aged makes me sad but I adored how Ella worked Chloe’s parents into the story. It was amazing to get to see them once again. Then, Ella gave readers a whole new couple to enjoy. I absolutely loved Ethan, Zayne, and Chloe – their dynamic, their unconventional love story, and the balance between plot and steam. Less suspenseful than her father’s story, Chloe’s will have you cozying up on the couch and falling for two equally intriguing but very different men.
Chloe is a stubborn and fiery redhead who goes after the things she wants and never backs down from a challenge. She now has a solid relationship with her men, a job she loves, and things have never looked brighter. When her fathers present her with a challenge, she is determined to succeed. As the weeks pass, challenges that she’s never had to face before in her young life threaten her happiness, but with her men by her side, she can weather any storm.
The conclusion of Chloe’s story is the perfect combination of sweet and steamy and we get to know the three characters even better. Ethan reveals the secrets he keeps hidden; Zayne, Ethan, and Chloe grow even closer; and Chloe really comes into her own. She is exactly the youthful character I wish more authors would write - confident if a little naive, but reasonable and strong. She doesn’t have false bravado and even though she’s younger than the guys by almost a decade, you aren’t continually reminded that she’s young. She’s written as a young woman, not a child in a woman’s body. If more authors wrote characters like Chloe, I would read more New Adult romance.

As Brooke Blaine has said "Chloe you lucky bitch" 😂 my jealously of seeing Chloe get a whole world of men wrapped around her finger, she really found all the good ones to keep!
This book CHLOÉ is the final installation in the amazing spin off series which follows the 3P's daughter! If you haven't met them yet that's alright, you can go catch up with ROBBIE now! Orr just dive in starting with ETHAN if you wanna jump in with the spin-off!
Ella Frank has a way of truly wrapping around my heart every new book she drops and this one is just like it. Without spoiling (but I do recc reading the other books at least before this review), we pick up where we left off and get to go on a different journey of Chloe and her two men. They now know and love each other completly so what more is there to come?
Well with moving onto the next step they need to see how their lives truly mesh together and I enjoyed so much seeing this come together. We not only get a love of spice, and lovinh moments but see Ethan ans Zayne's blending into Chloe's family life. Their bonds growing with her father's makes my heart so warm.
I ate up every scene these 5 men were together and man I wish this wasn't the last book, I could do with reading about them all forever and ever!
Thank you Ella for another mind blowing read that stole my heart from the get go! I'm sad to see the Confessions series come to a close (again! But I will wait for you Justin!!). It's been so much fun coming back home and I loved every minute of it!

Okay, so I wanted to wait until I had read all three installations before putting my review out there.
First, let me say that if you don't like Dom/Sub books, then these are definitely not for you.
Personally, they aren't my cup of tea, but I love the author, and I LOVED priest Julian & of course, our beautiful Robbie, also, I didn't know going in that it was Dom/Sub.
. . . Anyway, so the story itself is well written, the characters' development is absolutely on point, and the book contains every bit of magic you can always guarantee with this authors incredible gift
However, it wasn't for me, personally.
For three reasons.
1) I'm not a fan of Dom/Sub books, but once I'd started, I had to see it through.
2) Chloes character is 19 years old.
I had an issue with this. You can bet your ass if my 19 year old daughter (yes, I have one) came to me and told me she was moving in with her two boyfirends I'd have something to say and it wouldn't be "let me help you pack" the age gap was a little much for me.
& 3) The three P's offering the executive head position to Chloe at such a young age. (This bugged me, but again, it's a personal dislike of certain facts within the book)
So, although these things didn't work for me, they absolutely might work for you. So definitely check out the book if it looks and sounds like something you'd enjoy.

4.5 ⭐
Et voilà, la sulfureuse trilogie mettant en scène notre "petite" Chloé prend fin avec ce dernier tome ! On voit la relation amoureuse de notre trio progresser au fil des jours et s'installer dans la durée et le quotidien. Il n'y a pas de rebondissements qui viendraient remettre en péril la romance, au contraire, leur relation à tous les trois se solidifie et devient vraiment sérieuse, au-delà du côté atypique et érotique de cette "configuration" peu banale. Forcément, nous avons droit à plusieurs scènes torrides comme Ella Frank sait si bien les écrire, mais j'ai apprécié les voir évoluer tous les trois dans leur quotidien, et surtout, la façon dont les deux hommes font une place à Chloé au sein de leur foyer. Ils ont des petites (et grandes) attentions pour elle, de façon à ce qu'elle se sente accueillie, véritablement chez elle. J'ai ADORÉ le petit délire sur la romance et les scénarios que celle-ci peut susciter pour pimenter des coquineries déjà bien épicées !
Et puis ce que j'ai aimé par-dessus tout, c'est sentir tout l'amour de l'autrice pour ses personnages, en particulier pour le trio Priest/Julien/Robbie. L'amour que se portent ces hommes, et qu'ils portent à leur fille est vraiment palpable, et j'ai aimé la façon dont les liens finissent par se nouer entre eux et Ethan & Zayne. Cette fois, ils forment vraiment un clan soudé, et ça réchauffe le coeur de lire ça. Je ne m'attendais pas à être autant émue, mais j'ai été complètement prise au dépourvue quand un certain évènement se produit, et j'ai été submergée par les émotions en sentant tout cet amour familial irradier de partout.
C'est vraiment un joli cadeau de l'autrice de nous avoir accordé du temps en compagnie de ces personnages, et il nous reste encore un tome, qui nous permettra de découvrir l'histoire de Justin, j'ai hâte ! ♥

Confessions: Chloé is the final part of the Ethan, Zayne, and Chloé arc in the Confessions series. To understand this story, you need to have first read Confessions: Ethan and Confessions: Zayne. Without it, this will feel like an overly sweet story of happiness.
While I enjoyed this conclusion to the story, I will be honest and say that it felt a little pointless. I have noticed that Ella Frank often concludes a series with a story that is just an extended look at the happily ever after, and such was the case here. While it was enjoyable, I did not love it. There were some details that were introduced and handled very quickly, which could have made for a deeper story, yet things quickly turned back to focusing on the sweetness of the relationship. This is great for those looking to receive more of an insight into the character’s lives, yet I wanted a lot more plot. Thus, while I enjoyed getting more of the characters, I did feel like this conclusion wasn’t quite everything it could have been.
All in all, this is a fun addition for those looking to receive more of an insight into the characters and where their lives head. For those wanting a plot-heavy story, this is not what the conclusion offered. It is mostly just a lot of sweetness.
While I enjoyed this conclusion to the story, I will be honest and say that it felt a little pointless. I have noticed that Ella Frank often concludes a series with a story that is just an extended look at the happily ever after, and such was the case here. While it was enjoyable, I did not love it. There were some details that were introduced and handled very quickly, which could have made for a deeper story, yet things quickly turned back to focusing on the sweetness of the relationship. This is great for those looking to receive more of an insight into the character’s lives, yet I wanted a lot more plot.

3.5 stars.
The concluding book in Chloé, Zayne and Ethan’s story picked up where the last one left off, as Chloé moves in with her two men and they begin their lives together. In this book we see their relationship develop, and there is also a big decision to make as well as a heartbreaking tragedy.
It’s hard to write a successful thrupple story, especially when two of them are an established couple and a newcomer is joining, it’s nearly impossible to make the relationship even, where everyone is equal in the relationship. Ella Frank did this so well with the three P’s, but in this instance, I don’t think she got it entirely right. In my opinion it was still very much Zayne and Ethan in the relationship and Chloé was just an addition rather than an equal.
It was good that the three P’s featured quite heavily in this book, it was great to be back in their world, and I’m still really intrigued by Justin, Chloé’s brother, we still don’t know much about him, I’m hoping he may feature in future books so we get to read his story.
Overall I did enjoy this, it’s definitely not my favourite Ella Frank, but still a great read, will all the spice you expect from one of Ella’s books.

Confessions series from Ella Frank is one of my favourite series and when Ethan, Zayne and Chloe brought back the chance to see the 3 Ps again I had high expectations. Ella frank does not disappoint. This is the third book in the sun series and a very satisfying conclusion to the journey these three take to find their HEA. You have to read both Ethan and Zane prior to reading this book since their story begins in book 7.
This book starts right where the previous one left off and was everything you could have wished for. It continues in the same vein with low angst development of relationship dynamics, exploring their connection with the steam dialed up to max, further strengthening and feeling their emotional bonds and great communication between all three. Chloe comes more into her own in this book that explores a lot more where her career is concerned and her relationship with both the men in her life as she moves in with them. We get more of an understanding of Ethan’s story and also see a more of all of her dads and their interactions with Ethan and Zayne. There are loads of sweet, swoony and spicy moments with a few surprise twists to enjoy if you pick up this series.

This is the third and final installment in a very sexy MMF ride. Just like her father before her, Chloe finds herself drawn into an already existing relationship and despite a few initial hook ups, smoothly integrates. This final book shows their now fully established relationship as Chloe and her men find their way as she moves in.
When the worst happens Zayne and Ethan step up and prove to both Chloe and her fathers that they are meant to be. Chloe really comes into her own here both in her relationship but in her career and from when we’re first introduced to her as a toddler at the end of the 3 P’s story and now here is a wonderful journey to go on.
The ending was perfect and felt like a new beginning rather than the end. I would love to read a bonus scene set in the distant future to see how they’re all still getting on.
Please please tell me Chloe’s brother Justin is going to get an HEA! The sweet and protective teacher who moonlights as a bartender at the family restaurant needs to find a man to sweep him off his feet.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I really think this is the perfect conclusion to Ethan, Zayne & Chloé's story, although I would've like a bit more history to Zayne's past but there was a lot of reflection to Ethan's past which we have been waiting for since book one. We finally get more than a glimpse of it and also find out what makes all three of them tick. I again really enjoyed the chemistry between the three lead characters, but also the side characters that brought a lot of emotion an relatability to the story. I enjoyed the series.
The lifes of Ethan, Zayne & Chloé really are blending well together and it's time for the next step in their relationship. When Chloé is also getting an opportunity of a lifetime that could end up changing all of their lives, she has a big decision ahead. While still trying to figure out everything around them, when tragedy strikes, the relationship between Ethan & Chloé will also take a turn. A lot of things to think about but their feelings for one another have turned out into something deep and loving. Where will their love take them?...

Confessions: Chloé is the ninth book in the Confessions series by Ella Frank. I love this series and have read them all but you don’t have to start from the beginning. Ethan is the start of Ethan, Zayne, and Chloé’s story.
Chloé, Zayne, and Ethan were getting to know each other more and more every day. Building a life. A future. Together. It was unexpected, wonderful, and a dream come true for all of them but could it last forever? This happiness.
Zayne and Ethan have been together since they were fifteen years old. Chloé is new to their lifestyle and life. She knows they care about her but still can’t believe this is all real. She also needs to introduce them to the other men in her life. Her three fathers and older brother. Would they approve of their relationship?
I don’t want to spoil anything so I will stop there but I can say how much I loved their story. It’s delicious, fun, sexy, and beautiful. I am sooooo hoping that Justin gets his own story within this series! I need it.

In the third and final installment, we finally get Chloe’s book. I’m always a fan of Ella Frank’s stories and this one is no exception. Ethan and Zayne are absolutely delicious. They have culminated their relationship after years and years of friendship, then on to lovers and I’m here for it. The love they feel for one another just jumps off the pages for me. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review for me is the fact that I didn’t feel as strong a connection between all three of them. Honestly, it just felt as though they were doing scenes in their home and not in the club, and Chloe was just their sub. Maybe I’m just spoiled because of her dads’ relationship, but I didn’t feel the connection with Chloe was as strong as Ethan and Zayne’s together. I still loved it though and will continue to read whatever she writes lol. Plus, it was great seeing the 3P’s as dads. Especially a girl dad when said girl brings home two boyfriends LOL.

★★☆☆☆ for the whole story! I don't think it should have been split at all.
★☆☆☆☆ for Chloe’s book because it felt unnecessary and boring.
I really wanted to love these books, I truly did. Being a huge fan of the Temptation and Confessions series, this one left me feeling disappointed. Despite my hopes that the book would improve as I read through the series, there were two main factors that kept me going: the possibility of it getting better (especially considering the varied positive opinions and ratings I had seen), and the joy of reconnecting with the beloved 3P's.
Besides, I must admit that I struggled to connect with the main characters and the whole BDSM thing here didn’t work for me. The trio felt like a poorly executed copy-paste version of the 3P's, which was disappointing and prevented me from fully immersing myself in the story.
I see that a lot of people really enjoyed this story, unfortunately, I didn’t!
