 5 Stars 
 MASON. muther-effin. LANGLEY....HOLY HELL!!!! He is HOTT and has absolutely turned peaches into a major turn on for me. 
 EXQUISITE is the first I have read by Ella Frank and I found out about it by being nosy on Facebook. See I saw my friend Taryn from MY SECRET ROMANCE reviews having a FB convo with Ella and butted in and said I need to try this out. I AM SO GLAD I DID! 
 Dr. Lena O'Donnell is carrying around a terrible, crippling guilt, one that has forced her to build a wall around herself , not allowing anyone in. She even keeps her parents at a distance. For nine years her life has been school then work and guilt. Lena hides behind layers of snark, sass and indifference. 
 Mason Langley, sexy successful chef. A playboy who has decided it's time to settle down. He is an amazing son, so amazing he takes time out of his busy day to help his mom. While doing that favor he meets the sexiest, most irritating woman, Dr. Lena O'Donnell. 
 When Lena and Mason meet for the first time sparks fly and not the sexual kind, these sparks are the kind full of anger and dislike. By accident they meet again and Mason convinces Lena to give him a chance to prove he is not the jerk she thinks he is. 
 I am not going to go into a lot of the plot, just rest assured it is an emotional roller coaster, full of laughs, snark, sexual chemistry and a great secondary cast and oh yeah I cried too! 
 EXQUISITE is not a book where the Hh fall in lust at first sight and right into bed. I LOVED the sexual tension, the build up to when they finally gave into their sexual chemistry and when they finally did man oh man was it hot! The banter between Lena and Mason is some of the best I have ever read, they kept each other on their toes. 
 Sunflowers have a special place in my heart, they are my daughter's favorite, the symbolism Ms. Frank gives them in EXQUISITE makes them even more special, I will never be able to look at a sunflower again without thinking of the beauty Ms. Frank gave them. 
 Against the odds Mason helped Lena come to terms with her guilt. Then at a crucial point in their relationship a major event occurs that causes Mason to shut Lena out and tears them apart, but instead of crawling back in her shell, Lena takes her new found confidence and goes after her man. Ella Frank created two characters who needed each other to move forward in life, two people who should not have fallen in love, but who beat the odds and found that beyond this world bond and love. 
 I can't even begin to adequately describe how much I love this book! Ella Frank is definitely a talent to watch out for! 
 I cannot wait for book two ENTICE, coming out in February. ENTICE is about Lena's best friend Dr. Shelly Munroe.
