Edible (Exquisite Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 647 ratings

Edible, delicious, delectable.

Rachel Langley is more than familiar with those three words in her line of work. After all, she spends her afternoons and evenings creating desserts so divine that your mouth will water and your taste buds will tingle.

They aren’t, however, the words she would have ever expected to think of when she locks eyes with a certain lawyer she knows only as Cole.

With each encounter, the infuriatingly persistent man becomes more impossible to resist, and edible is the exact word that comes to mind.

Crave, demand, covet.

Cole Madison knows exactly what he wants, and Rachel Langley is it. From the moment he spotted her at Whipped, he knew he wanted to grab hold and take a bite.

However, the woman has enigmatic moves, avoiding him at every turn.

But not for much longer.

Rachel’s time is up, and as far as Cole is concerned, he’s waited too long for a taste of what he desires. Nothing, including the woman herself, will stop him from consuming what he hungers for.

The only question left is: Who will take the first bite?

    I reviewed this book at MustReadBooksOrDie with my friend Shelley.

    Shel: How do I love Cole Madison? Let me count the ways...#1. He's droolworthy. I think he's my dream book boyfriend: total hotness in a suit and then the suit comes off and he's got some wicked hot tattoos. Court: OMG, YES #2. He's smart. I love a smart guy. It's such a turn on to be with someone who is intelligent and clever--he's both. Court: OMG YES #3. Strong but not an *expletive removed ;) . This guy keeps his emotions in check and always appears to be unflappable...but when it comes to those he cares about he's kind and tender and observant and attuned to their needs...especially Rachel's. Court: HE IS SO NICE! #4. In the bedroom he's ...um...jesus h...wow. Do men like him really exist, Ella Frank? Can they teach lessons? There should totally be a husband bootcamp about Cole's moves and Cole should be the drill sergeant that teaches those lessons. Sheesh those sex scenes were steamy. Ella Frank--you can write the hell out of some sex! Court: *FALLS OVER DEAD*

    Court: Uh yeah. Cole is everything we love about a romance hero. Except her never crosses the line into a jerk and he has by far taken over as numero uno in my list of favorite book boyfriends. Where do I sign my hubs up for that class.

    Shel:If all of THAT doesn't convince you that Cole is delicious, then the way he helps Rachel overcome her grief and trust a man again should.

    Court: This is the only book that has semi-insta love that I am completely 100% rooting for and believe in. I don't think I've ever said that before, but well..you'll see. Their relationship moves fast and they unfortunately have to defend it to her family...but Cole handled that as amazingly as he handled everything about Rachel. Well..he didn't manhandle her, and I was absolutely swooning hardcore the entire book.

    Shel: As much as I adore Cole...I love Rachel. Maybe in an alternate universe I could be her...strong, witty, colorful hair, interesting tattoos, great job, and a fantastic family. The only thing I wouldn't wish on anyone, including Rachel, is that evil sonuvabitch Ben. What an a-hole. He completely damaged her for other men and until Cole came along, Rachel was hiding behind her badassery to avoid connecting with another man. Thank goodness for Cole and his delightfully delicious persistence. He absolutely refused to allow her to push him away but he did it in away that gave her complete control. She gave when she was ready and he allowed her the space to do so.

    Court: I do love Rachel's flair and loyalty for her family. We got a lot of Mason and Josh time in this book and it was great to see those two along their HEA. Cole gave Rachel what she wasn't able to give herself, even though she wanted to be a strong independent woman. He allowed her to find and embrace her strength and find herself again. It was great.

    Shel: I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the books in this series...but this one was my absolute favorite. I'm so eager to read Logan's story..cannot wait! Court: Ella is most definitely going to have another game changer with Try. Eeeppp!

    This is what I would call a whirlwind romance that is extremely unconventional. Rachel is a unique character who is feisty and a lot of fun, but is carrying a lot of demons and Cole appears to be her opposite. But as these two get to know each other they find that they have a lot in common. They compliment each other well.

    Cole instantly knew that he was exactly what Rachel needed and set out to prove to her that he was right. And boy was he right! The sexual attraction between them is off the charts! Ella's writing is full-on steam! I enjoyed getting to know both Cole and Rachel and found their relationship to be unlike any that I have read before.

    I love Ella Frank's Exquisite series. I'm sad that this is the last of the trilogy (though their is a spin off coming for Logan which I am super-excited about!). I loved the way it was wrapped up for all three couples and would highly recommend it!

    Edible is the third and final installment of the Exquisite Series and if you have not read the first two - what the heck is wrong with you?

    Ella Frank has the ability of creating some of the most captivating characters and melt-your-under-roos sex scenes. This book was off the charts hot. The sexual tension and chemistry between Rachel and Cole caused you to curl your toes.

    We met Rachel in Exquisite; she was the spitfire little sister of Mason who showed a darker side in Entice. Rachel has drifted further away after the death of her parents and the memories from her past. She is doing her best to play the part of the girl that doesn't feel all alone.

    Cole was introduced in Entice, Josh's attorney and the mysterious stranger at Whipped that has his eyes set on Rachel.

    "This is so far from over, Rachel. It's barely even begun."

    "Ready?" he asked, looking directly at her, as he inserted the key. "For?" He turned the key, and the snick of the lock was as effective as a starting gun. With absolute certainty, he said, "Me."

    Cole likes control, in both his career and in his bed. He senses a side to Rachel that craves to be controlled a side that thrives on being told what to do. But her past has taught her that losing that control can destroy you. She can't trust anyone enough to give that over but the way Cole makes her body beg to obey might be too hard to deny.

    Cole is going to get what he wants. He is going to make her want him so she will stop fighting it. But a simple taste might not be enough.

    The start of their relationship is unconventional but in the way we have all come to love, Ella Frank creates the perfect storm of intense desire, stubbornness and sexual attraction that will have you fanning yourself.

    And it just seems to get more and more erotic. The heat in this does not falter. And if you remember the peaches you are not going to ever forget the caramel...

    With all of the sexual chemistry you get some pretty personal moments that in the midst of being ready jump on the first man you see, will make your heart clench. The intimacy and vulnerability of some of these scenes took you from hot and bothered to crying in mere seconds. Rachel was such a beautifully written character that went beyond any image of what she was in the other books. Such a complex variety of emotions and personality that you just fell in love with. Cole was down right perfect and then some. Strong, Controlling, Arrogant.... but so tender when it was needed. He was able to see so deep into her soul to search out her pain and fight to free her of it.

    Although Exquisite had been resting comfortably as my favorite from this series, Edible easily worked it's way into one this years favorite reads.

    The story doesn't just give you the sides of Rachel and Cole. We get to see the couples we fell in love with grow and glimpse into their futures. We even get to meet Logan who will be getting his own book (Try) and believe me - after you meet him you will want his story.

    I continued to be awed by the ability of this author and the way she can tell a story; her head must be the loveliest place to live. For those who need a bit of sweet mixed in with their sex this is it. You get it all with Edible, a highly erotic love affair and a heart melting love story.

    "it's beating hard because it wants the one it loves to feel it."

    and what do you want me to say? all I can say is

    C O L E !!!!!!! Holy S***, that man leaves you speechless! After everything from the previous books, you are in for a speechless surprise! In a good way! In a HOT way! In a SEXY AS HELL way! And yet he's all the arrogant lawyer. He made it in the top of my fav book men in seconds!

    Rachel...sweet, sexy, cheeky Rachel. I love her! She's been through hell and still stays strong. But yet again she has to deal with things that leave her lost. She's trying to get her control back - and then she meets Cole!

    This series ended in the hottest way possible! It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely my cup of coffee! And add some caramel to it! Ella Frank definitely makes eating sexy and hot.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you Ella Frank for this!

    Edible by Ella Frank

    5 hot sticky caramel flavoured stars!!

    You thought peaches were hot....caramel is soooooooo much better!!
    This is my favourite of the series so far and I didn't think anyone's story could top that told in Exquisite.

    Edible is Rachel's story, Mason's little sister, the pastry chef at Exquisite and also who now runs their mums flower shop. She is one busy lady!! The pressure of being "Rachel" is beginning to show and she is finally realising that she needs more from her life..after seeing all of her friends matching up with others she is feeling lonely and she wants to find her person!!

    "Never let someone make you feel like you are not the best version of yourself, you hear me?"
    "Yes dad" Rachel mumbled

    Rachel has been burned by a previous abusive relationship, one that her father rescued her from. Mason is none the wiser about this as their father insisted on it being their secret. Now that she has lost both her parents Rachel feels that she cannot talk to anyone about her past or her feelings without Mason finding out, she keeps everything bottled in. She has her means of escape through what she wears, how she dyes her hair and her tattoos and piercings but these are merely a façade to the real Rachel. She frequents the club "Whipped" and through this Lena and Shelley have nick named her super domme although this is far from the truth.

    Cole first spotted Rachel in Whipped and felt an instant connection to her..he saw the real Rachel, not the super domme that she tries to portray. After a few chance meetings and his feelings never wavering Cole decides that he has to get to know Rachel, but will he be able to convince that this is what she wants??

    "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 effing is"

    I absolutely loved Cole, in fact I adored him. He is a man that knows what he wants and does not give up until he gets it, his pursuit of Rachel is relentless and he even gets his PA on side to help dig up information so that he can find out who exactly this woman is that his him so captivated. He is dominant, very alpha male, but he is sure that Rachel is a closet submissive and he totally relies on his instincts in this book. It turns out his instincts are correct and the relationship these two have is seriously hot!! I mean smoking hot!! Ella Frank certainly knows how to nail a sex scene!!

    Cole has baggage as with anyone and is extremely torn up about things happening away from work and Rachel. Rachel manages to help him with this and this only intensifies their connection. In return Cole manages to break down Rachel's walls and she eventually opens up and tells Cole about her abuse and they help heal each other.

    The writing is beautiful, emotional and super sexy, the connection from Cole and Rachel radiates from the page, it is palpable...it pulls you in to their little world and you fall hook line and sinker. You cannot help but devour this book. The epilogue was just WOW, I am a sucker for a fab epilogue and this did not disappoint and it did wrap up the series with a nice neat perfectly tied little bow. Absolutely loved it!!

    "What are you wearing under this Rachel?"
    Turning in his arms, she looked him square in the eye, courtesy of her heels and gave him a sexy wink. "Two silver studs. Why?"
    He knew it. F Word. This night is going to take forever,

    My favourite from this author, it had everything that I love about romance.

    Great story that was full of simmering chemistry.

    Rachel our lead, having been hurt in the past she’s not prepared to let any man have control of her again. She hides behind a wall she’s built around herself.

    Cole our lead male, this guy is incredible, he knows what he wants, what he craves and one look at the delectable Rachel he has to have her.

    The slow burn is so hot, it’s like your on the edge watching it slowly build to an epic explosion.

    Cole knows he has to tread carefully with Rachel, he sees the sadness but he also sees the need she to let go and trust.

    Phenomenal read.

    It’s a yes from me.
