Aced (PresLocke Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 2,296 ratings




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.



From Ella Frank’s Sunset Cove series and Brooke Blaine’s L.A. Liaisons series comes a scorchingly hot novel that blends humor, passion, and romance.



What happens when these two worlds collide?





*Although Aced is a spin-off of Ella and Brooke's series, prior reading of those novels is not required.*

HORNY GOAT, THIRTEEN INCHER AND OTHER AMUSING CHAPTERS...
5 out of 5 stars
HORNY GOAT, THIRTEEN INCHER AND OTHER AMUSING CHAPTERS...
From Ella Frank’s Sunset Cove series comes Calvin Klein underwear model-turned-actor Dylan Prescott (aka "Daydream"). And straight out of Brooke Blaine’s L.A. Liaisons series comes rich & famous actor, sexy Ace Locke. Ace has the paparazzi riding his ass on a daily. He has to watch every move he makes because they're ready to pounce to get the story of his first love interest since he came out a year ago. But damn, that Calvin Klein underwear billboard has him squirming in his Lamborghini every morning on his way to work. Dylan Prescott is trying to make the transition from modeling to acting when he discovers the guy from the big screen, who has starred in many of his fantasies, is at his first studio read-through. And he thought he was nervous before! Glances are exchanged and sparks start to fly when they continue to spend every day together on the set... "My breathing was shot to s*** as I stared at him, standing there, with my hand still gently stroking him, and I knew in the seconds that followed that everything in my life was about to change." And what a happy surprise when I realized I didn't have to wait for the (usually predictable) 50% mark for things to get juicy. There was plenty of early angst, and wit, and Horny Goat. Hey Dylan! I was... "on complete and utter Locke-down" too! Banter and smart ass remarks put this one at 5 scorching stars for me. The chapter titles alone had me giggling before I even read any further. THINK WITH YOUR OTHER HEAD, will you? A peek at some of my favorite past characters and some strong secondary characters moved the story along at an entertaining pace and before I knew it it was over- and I was hungover. This was one of those books that had me staying up late and frantically turning the pages. And OMG! August and Locked can't come soon enough!!

    I fell in love when these two women wrote Sex Addict together, and I knew there was something special happening in the universe when they decided to combine their characters in Aced. This series can be read separately but trust me when I say you should read Ella Frank's Sunset Cove series and Brooke Blaine's L.A. Liaisons series. Not only are they great reads, but that's where you first meet the two hunks that are in Aced, Dylan Prescott and Ace Locke. And let me tell you, they are pure magic together.

    Both guys seem extremely confident in who they are and are very assertive in their own respective lives. The part that really stuck with me is how Ace, who is easily the most popular A-list actor in Hollywood was able to be so vulnerable and strong at the same time. He's very straight forward and cocky, but he also has this side to him that you desperately want to learn more about. And Dylan is SO beyond perfect to be the one that gets to peel back those layers.

    Dylan is a model who is trying to get his start in "the business" when he stumbles on a job that just happens to star the one and only Ace Locke. Ace has been the subject of many of Dylan's self-sessions if you know what I mean, and unbeknownst to him, he's been the same for Ace. So when these two finally come face to face you can only imagine the sexual tension resting just below the surface. And the chemistry is amazing! Dylan's personality is different than Ace's in the respect that he knows exactly what he wants and he's not afraid to go for it, he definitely has no filter and says what he means. I loved this dynamic between the guys so much, it really made for some good banter. GREAT banter, actually!

    There are so many things you learn about Ace and Dylan and those little things really are what had me so intrigued with these two characters, just like Dylan had to wait and be patient with Ace, as a reader you get to go through that with both guys and it was so fun learning more about them. And can I just say you will also laugh your ass off reading this book, sure it's SEXY as hell, but some of the one-liners are so freaking funny.

    A lot of the laughs I experienced came from some of the side characters.
    Dylan's family is laugh out loud hilarious!! And I'm not over exaggerating
    Ziggy, his dad, His mom- Sunshine, you'll learn about the names as you read, but trust me when I say how great they were! Paige and Shayne are also in here, and if you've read Brooke's L.A. Liaison series you already know how funny these ladies can be! They were all such a great addition to this story, there's nothing like a crazy family and some hilarious friendships to get you through life.

    Aced is seriously a fantastic read, the writing was seamless and the chemistry between the characters was absolutely perfect, not to mention HOT, HOT, HOT! I can only imagine the blushing going on between these two Authors while writing some of these scenes! There is a cliffhanger which means there will be a second book so yay!!!! But don't worry, you won't want to bite your arm off or anything. It's a perfect cliffhanger by my standards and I love cliffys! This is definitely a must read!

    Exactly what you expect from Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine, beautifully sculpted men, smooth flowing dialogue, caring but kooky support characters, and smutty, sexy fun.

    Ace is an action hero freshly out, but barely his nonexistent dating life is paparazzi gold, Dylan is a successful model taking a small role in Ace’s next movie. It’s insta attraction, neither wants to deny it.

    I don't even know what to say about Aced by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. It was delicious, passionate, witty, sweet, romantic, panty-melting, HOT... it was one of those books that you don't want to read in public and can't put down until there are no more pages left to swipe.

    We have sexy Hollywood action hero Ace. He comes off as confident, cocky - he can walk into a room and own it. Everyone wants him, but he just came out so his eyes are set on the men And really there's one man he can't stop thinking about, dreaming, about, stopping traffic to just stare at... See there is a big ol' billboard along Hollywood Blvd that has a scrumptious looking man in his Calvin Klein undies. Everything about it, the body the look in his eyes has set Ace on fire. Too bad he doesn't know who he is!

    Dylan is new to Hollywood. Coming off a huge modeling campaign he has landed a role in a movie. And get this the star is Ace - Dylan's dream man! Dylan is completely comfortable in his own skin, has no filter and he goes after what he wants.

    Watching the sparks fly between these two was something else. Their chemistry had me hot and bothered before anything even happened. And there were scenes that just... well they should have set my kindle on fire with how HOT they were. But it is not all passion and sex here (though don't get me wrong I can't wait to read more of that!) There is a sweet story about two people building a relationship together. Learning to trust. Finding their groove. The banter and humor in this book had me with aching cheeks from the smiles on my face. And OMG Dylan's family!!! I want MORE! They were HILARIOUS!!!

    I loved how the authors painted the characters. While Ace is cocky and confident he has a real vulnerable side once you get to know him. And Dylan had to draw him out in their relationship. Frankly it made him that much sexier. And Dylan for all that he is comfortable in himself, isn't used to the grand romantic gestures that Ace makes and his unbridled excitement for everything that happens is just infectious.

    The end does leave you hanging a bit. We leave Ace and Dylan happy together and committed but a HUGE obstacle was just tossed in their face. If you read me you know cliffys don't bother me, and in this case I welcomed it. I. Want. More. Ace & Dylan! So if this means we get a whole other book with them - BRING IT ON! And really it will be here next month - so just enough time to cool off from reading this one ;)

    I most definitely recomend this book. If you like m/m romances that are hot and heavy with a side of sweet and witty then look no further!

    I received a complimentary copy of Aced in exchange for my honest review.

    Reviewed in Australia on July 12, 2016
    I was just so excited and thrilled to enjoy another amazing hot novel by my all time favourite authors, Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. My upmost MM writers, I have so loved all their past books and adored them so much.

    After reading both books, Sunset Cove and LA Liaisons, we once again meet up with both Ace Locke and Dylan Prescott. Both of these most are gorgeous and most sexual looking men.

    After Ace arrived in Los Angeles three months ago he finally has chosen acting for his future. Focusing in Movie making was what he chose.

    I really loved this most exciting adventure. Now that Ace wants to keep his gay lovers status quiet. This book was an addictive story of love!

    I recommend this book to everyone.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable characters
    Reviewed in the Netherlands on January 9, 2024
    I'm writing this after reading/listening to this for a second time. I read the book a few months ago but didn't continue with the trilogy at the time. The first time I read it, it was because I just wanted to take a peak and couldn't put it down, but I also wanted to read the Chicagoverse in the right order.

    Anyway, I love how these two had a crush on each other before they actually met and loved how that continued when they met. Ace's situation really sucks though, but Dylan's acceptance of it all was absolutely adorable. They complement each other so well in the different areas they each feel less than confident. And they are so sweet with each other.

    Dylan's family is so brilliant, and hilarious! I hope to see more of them in the next of the trilogy! Also, I need Dylan's backstory. Now. It's going to be heartbreaking, I can just feel it.

    Logan's cameo was also wonderful. I want to read his books again!

    I can't believe I actually waited this long to read the rest, because that cliffhanger is not OK. I guess I'm afraid to see what happens next with their relationship. I'm assuming it can't all be smooth sailing.

    As usual, Ella and Brooke have created wonderful characters I'm absolutely invested in and will probably reread on a regular basis.

    Holy Sh*t i loved this book!
    I’m a big fan of Ella’s Temptation and Sunset Cove series. I adore her books and all her sexy men. I have to admit that i havent read any of Brooke’s L.A. Liaisons series, but i will for sure be looking those up very soon after this because Aced was brilliant.
    This book is hot and steamy the plot is wonderful, but the characters man i love these guys. Dylan and Ace have had secret crushes on each other unknowingly, but when they do meet the chemistry is off the charts sexy. There is just this wonderful slow build and burn between these awesome characters that it almost drove me crazy!
    The scene in the secret club was crazy sexy.
    The writing style between these authors gelled so well, but that ending man what a cliffhanger i cannot wait to read more of Ace and Dylan's story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ace & Dylan. Hot!
    Reviewed in Germany on April 13, 2022
    Band 1 dieser Trilogie rund um Dylan und Ace hat mir extrem gut gefallen. Beide sind sehr sympathisch und haben eine unglaubliche Chemie. Ihre Dialogie sind klasse, ihre Geschichte spannend und auch seeehr heiß. Gegen Ende sind beide sogar in einem S*xclub mit Masken und was danach noch krasses passiert... einfach wow! Aber Achtung, Band 1 endet mit einem fulminanten Cliffhänger, sodass man Band 2 direkt parat haben sollte.

    Ich kann diese Trilogie auf jeden Fall nur empfehlen, denn auch Band 2 gefiel mir sehr (klare 4 Sterne). Lediglich Band 3 war meiner Meinung nach nicht so gut aufgebaut und leider auch zwischendurch langweilig, aber mit einem emotionalen, rührenden Ende (auch 4 Sterne). Eine schöne Buchreihe!
