Frankie

No one understands why I love him.
Why I need him.
Why I took him back.
But they don’t have to.
I know.
Despite the hurt and the heartache, I see beneath his skin.
And I’m different now.
No more Flirty Frankie. I'm done with being King of the club.
My dreams have changed, and so have I.
I’m stronger.
I believe in myself.
And I’m a hell of a lot smarter than a year ago.
Now it's his turn to show me the man he really is.
To prove it.
I've always loved him.
But that's not enough.
I need to learn to trust him.

Aaron

No more excuses.
No more chances.
I make this right or lose him for good.
I have to do this.
No one has ever believed in me but him.
No one has ever wanted me but him.
I can’t let him down.
I won’t.
I can’t let myself down.
I’m trying, but it's so damn hard.
No matter what they throw at me, I’m stronger.
And I’m going to make it.
I’m on my way.
With Frankie by my side.
I can see the future.
I have a future.
Us. Together.
Forever.

About the Author

I have always been a romantic at heart. I believe that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending around the corner, My characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy and that includes love. I live in New York City with my husband and two children and hopefully soon a cat of my own. My day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. I practice law but daydream of a time when I can sit by a beach somewhere and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there are bound to be a few bumps along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.

Frankie and Aaron are boyfriends, trying to make a life together after Aaron returns from jail for assault & battery.

Aaron has to control his temper if he wants to keep Frankie in his life.

There is a lot of angst and doubt in this story as the author weaves a story of will they or won't they stick together.

Characters from previous 'Man Up' books are in the story as they worry about Aaron and Frankie's relationship. They are their for Frankie and want to protect him if Aaron reverts back to his old ways.

There are a lot of secondary characters such as: Cort, James and Tristan who allow us to predict that there will more stories to come.

Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2021

This was beautiful and at times heartbreaking, but the people that Frankie and Aaron grew into was lovely.
It was a wonderful story that stirred my emotions . I don’t always go for hurt/comfort, but this was done really well, and dealt honestly with pain and loss and getting over trauma.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great addition for this series!

Frankie and Aaron are the main characters in book 3 of the man up series by Felice Stevens. Frankie a design student by day and male stripper by night who also has a strong business sense, was a supporting character in the first two books, now we have his book and his story with he and Aaron. Aaron who was previous had issues with anger and alcohol, went to prison for assaulting someone at a bar and then was abused there as well. We get to read about their reconnection and how they are able to rebuild their relationship to get to their happily ever after. I really enjoyed reading about these two men. Aaron had to get over his abuse he had dealt with in prison as well as issues in his childhood that led to his anger issues as an adult, while Frankie had to deal with learning to trust Aaron as well as a money issue that he has during the book. The story has good pacing and these two face a couple of obstacles to get to the happily ever after. I really liked the character development as well as the changes that both men went through out this book. Felice has done a great job with story and character development and has made these characters very 3-d and realistic. This can be read as a standalone but I read the other two books before this and really enjoyed them as well. I think that it did help at least with knowing some of the characters and knowing that there was a little tension between Austin and Frankie because of Aaron. Overall loved I really liked this book this whole series is worth a read. I am looking forward to book 4.
I was given an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Oh Frankie! You are definitely unforgettable!!

This story had me captured and it was such a shame work interfered with reading this book as I could of sat there and devoured it all!

I loved Frankie and Aaron’s story, I loved watching them grow together and be a better person not just for each other but for themselves. Realising what they truly wanted from their lives and seeing to make their dreams reality!

I love how all the group are still so heavily involved in the story.

Such another beautiful story and I’m really excited for Cort!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Chance with a Twist
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

In an offbeat way I guess you could call this a 2nd Chance story. The characters didn’t fall for each other in High School and College and then meet up 10 yrs later. Frankie and Aaron were separated by a prison term, you’ll learn the how’s and why’s in the story, so I won’t say anything further on the subject here. What I am going to say here is, I really enjoyed this different take on the story.

Aaron gets out of jail and is staying with Frankie again. I’ve told you this because the author sets this story up as a story of gaining trust in order to rekindle the relationship. With the characters co-habitating and even sleeping together, it added a realistic twist to the story that I found fascinating. These guys aren’t rich they’re just a couple of guys trying to get by, Frankie as a stripper and Aaron in gardening/landscaping it makes them easily relatable and the reason they are living together that much more believable.

Character growth was AMAZING especially with Aaron and as a reader I was able to experience it as he made his breakthroughs. Aaron not only had to gain Frankie’s trust but the trust of their friends. In this type of story and setting it takes more than an individual to grow, it takes friends around them. I’m sure there is proverb out there that goes something like, “Personal Growth can be achieved quicker and with greater resource with the help of friends” Aaron needed this, he needed to feel better about himself, he needed that inner strength to prove to Frankie that he is a man worth that 2nd chance.

I have to admit that Aaron was my favorite character, for me his character development was stronger so I understood him more. With Frankie I was getting mixed signals about him, I never was able to get a solid, This is Frankie, moment. At times he felt like a twink and on the effeminate side and then later he’s this 6′ tough masculine guy, I really wish that I could have found who he is.

I would say this is a stand-alone with a bit of mystery added to it. Some of the secondary characters in this book are just there, some you get to know and others that left me wondering, and everything in this sentence is OK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I read this
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2018

I actually, almost passed this up, simply because I wasn't sure how interesting it would be. I'm glad I read it though. I loved all the others and knew I needed to read this in order to move on to the others, and I don't regret it. It was as much, if not more, about Aaron and his background, as it was about Frankie, going over their problems, together and apart. The author did a great job.

Now, I do have a bone to pick.
(Spoiler alert)
The only thing I didn't care for, was Frankie's comment to Aaron at the very end, 'That some people are given heavy burdens as a test to see how much they can carry. '
That is one of the worst, and most ludicrous things you could ever say to someone that's come from an abusive, or neglectful background. There is never a reason for someone to be abused, or neglected, etc. Yes, Aaron made mistakes, and didn't know how to deal with his feelings because of how he was raised, and it caused him to treat Frankie in a bad way. He started a fight in a bar and ended up in prison, where he was repeatedly raped.
I don't feel like there was a reason for him being abandoned as an infant, and then thrust into the foster system, where he suffered even more. Then, to go to prison, (which I do agree that he had to pay for what he did) But being raped over and over... how is that a test? Like, some people are just meant for that? Wrong.
I came from a very abusive background, and one of my Religious co-workers said to me that 'It was meant to be. That God had a reason... ' I can't tell you how horribly that effected me. That's just so wrong.
Sorry for the rant. I'll put away my soap box.
Anyway, it turned out good, and I'm glad I read it. I recommend it.
