5 Stars!!!
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!

I binged the whole Temptations series and fell head over heels for Logan and Tate. I didn't think I would ever read another couple I felt as attached to. Until I met Ave and Dylan. They're both a strong mix of confident and vulnerable, and they're all in from the beginning wut little drama between them. The dreams is in the world surrounding them and I appreciate a committed couple who are at peace with each other.

Jak ktoś lubi tego typu literaturę to mu się napewno spodoba. Ja przeczytałam z ciekawości i mnie jakoś nie pochłonęła ale też nie była jakaś mocno słaba. Taka przeciętna historia. Raczej nie sięgnę po kontynuację.

Holy M/M Hotness! Aced by Ella Frank and Brooke Blane was a whole lot of yummy male goodness with a ton of sweet spots. There was also a lot of humor woven in—I want Sunshine and Ziggy to adopt me, please??? I’ll be a good little daughter I promise. I loved the banter and playfulness between Ace and Dylan, it kept me grinning. Watching their journey was a lot like watching a firework, the slow burn of the fuse up until the explosion. And what an explosion! Ace and Dylan have chemistry that leaps off the pages and spontaneously combusts panties.
There were deep parts too, the struggle Ace goes through on being open with his relationship. He puts up a front, being cocky in front of the paparazzi and the cameras and keeping the insecurities hidden. Dylan, on the other hand is more open and able to go with the flow, just one topic seems to be off-limits. But both are utterly irresistible.
This book has a little something for everyone. Humor, sweet romance and steamy, hot sex. A quick warning, though, this is a cliffhanger. And I cannot wait to get my greedy little hands on Locked. As in, I want it…and I want it right freaking now

Aced is book one in the PreLocke series. A contemporary MM romance.
After mentions of Ace in Confessions series (I read the series all out of order) I just had to find out what the fuss was about and met this couple. I was not disappointed!
Ace is a Hollywood actor who recently came out publicly so is wary on public displays and entering a relationship. Until he nearly runs into the object of his infatuation, the sexy underwear billboard model.
Dylan is a model and scored an underwear campaign that has him plastered all over billboards. He is then cast in a movie with none other than his ultimate fantasy.
The early interactions of these two together are so damn cute. Ace his kind of grumpy energy and Dylan as the absolute definition of sunshine.
