4.5 star read for me. This was my favorite book of the series Rachel and Cole were great. What I loved was how the story continued to move forward it wasn't the same thing repeated over and over again with different words. I also enjoyed how the flashbacks really helped the reader connect with what Rachel was dealing with. The sex scenes between the H/H were panty melting.
i read try before reading this series. cole was so totally different in this book than what i first thought about him in try. this was a great story. i'm gonna have to re-read try just to get another glimpse of cole!
This series has been properly named Exquisite!!! The stories stood alone and combined together perfectly. I loved Rachel and Cole's story it was super hot, funny, witty, and heartwarming. Ella Frank did a magnificent job building this family story throughout all three book!!! I am completely delighted with Ella Frank's writing style and she has gained a new fan in me!!!
I love love love the Exquisite series and Ella Frank as an author. The ONLY reason this is 3 stars is that I'm personally not into what Rachel and Cole are into, kink (BDSM), so I wasn't able to get into it as much as I was the other two.
That being said, I did adore that there wasn't as much, if any really, angst between Cole and Rachel as a couple.

DNF 15%.
im sorry but it's annoying me to no end how often it's mentioned that the heroine is soooo "out of the box" and different than anyone else, and she thinks about how no mother would approve of her dating her son, and im like..... why? there's nothing particularly different about her. just because you dye your hair, have a tattoo, and like bright colors doesn't mean you're a rebellious outlaw but you'd think she were by the way she thinks about herself, and by how cole keeps describing her as "special".

Oh. My. Goodness.
I adored Rachel throughout this series and I was sure that her book was going to be a good story, but bleedin heck, I was not expecting that. There is so much I want to say but it's just all too much.
I'm just going to state for the record that Cole did not do it for me in 'Entice' I was not at all excited about him. Thought he was stuffy and rigid and a total control freak. I will also state that I know absolutely nothing. (books and covers people, books and covers).
Every week I fall in lust at least once with a fictional character. The lust lasts until the next book and it is infatuation after infatuation. It's never been love. This is love. As is only fair I have informed my boyfriend that should Cole ever show up I will be forced to leave and live a life of debauchery while only consuming caramel and wine.
Cole. Who knew? I didn't see it coming. Who could? A stuffy lawyer in an expensive suit.
But there was so, so much more. He is alpha. He is strong. He is loyal. He is caring. He is kind. He is trustworthy. He is all kinds of sexy. He is clever. He reads. He loves his mam.
And under that suit. Oh boy under that suit.
The tattoos
And then the piercing's
Just YUM.
Some Cole quotes: (I swear to all that is divine this man is a God)
"Remember this moment, Rachel, because I don't plan to forget it until you're screaming my name so loudly that every single person within a ten-mile radius knows what it fucking is."
"Whenever you are waiting for me, always wait as though I'm above you and about to slide inside you. Always be ready for me."
"Uh, would you mind if we had this conversation after I'm dressed?"
"Yes, I do mind. I actually prefer you naked."
I also must mention Mason and Rachel's dad. Catherine (their mum) was an amazing lady and I mentioned how great I thought she was in my 'Exquisite' review but they also had a pretty awesome dad. I loved the way he was with Rachel, I actually loved how they all allowed her to be herself from a young age. The scenes with him were all beautiful. 'My Girl' brought a tear to my eye.
This was a lovely moment between them that included Mason:
"Someone said something about her hair."
Rachel felt her dad pull away from her. He reached over to wipe a tear from her face, but she turned away, so she could glower at her brother.
"And what could they possible say about hair that looks so..." He paused as though he was trying to think of the right word. "Sweet?"
"Sweet?" Rachel squeaked.
Mason couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah." Their father nodded. "Like...like cotton candy."
"Oh, Dad." Rachel finally laughed as she hugged him. "Thank you, but that doesn't really help."
"Well, you're laughing," he pointed out before looking back and forth between the both of them.
"Never let someone make you feel like you are not the best version of yourself. You hear me?"
Loved this series. Ella Frank rocks.

Such a good read, Rachel and Cole are one of the best couples I have seen and I can't wait to continue reading this awesome series!!
What a great ending to the series! Rachel and Cole were my favorite couple. This author has moved on to my must buy list. I'll admit, this series started off a little shaky for me, as I couldn't stand Lena in book #1, however she's even redeemed Lena for me by now.
I loved Rachel in the previous books. You could tell off the bat she was an interesting person and not TSTL. The build up in Entice was awesome, and Edible was a great story. Cole was HOT, sexy and such the alpha male, loved his cockiness, and loved his softer side.
All in all, great book, and I'm looking forward to her next book, Try with Logan.
