"When we're in public, you're mine.”
Outspoken, outgoing, and outrageously out, Trevor Rogers isn't one to say no when opportunity comes knocking. And jetting off to New York City to play the part of reclusive billionaire Logan Carter's boyfriend for a Valentine's Day publicity campaign? That's not just a yes, but oh hell yes. When Logan Carter's business partner, the founder of the popular dating app bLoved, starts receiving death threats and has to stay out of the public eye, Logan is thrust into the limelight. The only problem? Logan doesn't do public. He also learned the hard way never to mix business with pleasure... no matter how tempting someone like Trevor might make it. Trevor doesn't want to be tied down, and Logan isn't interested in opening up… but if falling in love is all just an act, why does saying “I love you” start to feel so real? Be True is a gay romance novel of approximately 93,000 words that contains a bossy billionaire, a failed attempt at an utterly impossible sex position, and two men who are destined to discover that the love neither wanted is exactly what each of them needs. It has a Happily Ever After ending, no pesky cliffhangers, and can be read as a standalone… but if you enjoy Trevor and Logan’s story, be sure to keep an eye out for the other two books in the series!

Absolutely breathtaking! Trevor and Logan's relationship made my heart flutter, and that's not an easy thing to do. I felt like I was right there with them. Some stories are so well told that they play out like a movie in my head. This was one of them. I started reading this series a little backward, as I read #3 first. After that, I knew I wanted to know the whole story. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next, but at the same time, I found myself slowing down a little so that I could savor it all the better. Since I was so impatient and couldn't wait, a good friend of mine loaned the first two books to me. I now know, without a doubt, I will be buying every book related to this series, starting with this one. It may be the Kindle editions for now, but it's good enough that I want all of them in paperback as soon as I can. It's full of life, love, and the hard times that can come with it. Sweet, romantic, and extremely sexy with the right amount of angst intriguingly woven in.Product details

Be True At Last The Beloved Series Volume 1 Stella Starling Books Reviews
This book had the most ridiculous, implausible plot, and it was pretty much instalove, but I liked the characters enough to overlook the super-awkward fake boyfriend setup. All of the misunderstandings could have been avoided if the MCs, had, you know, actually TALKED to each other. And man, were they in their own heads A LOT. And the epilogue continued the cheesy ridiculousness. But, overall, I enjoyed it.
Reviewed on john charles books - Arrogant, lonely, too self assured for his own good, and so needy. He creates situations that only support his negative attitude toward people and fail to help - were the first thoughts I had about Logan Carter.
Trevor, on the other hand, is outspoken, flamboyant, and totally self assured, but is he? These two young men find themselves in a daunting situation. How will they manage an on screen public image of being loving, life partners when neither wants or seems to want that type of relationship?
Logan's heart had been broken so severely that he threw love away and vowed he'd never let it touch him again. Though great for business, his love phobia became his nemesis. When asked to step in for Kelley, his bLoved business partner, Logan failed - failed miserably. He couldn't speak to the dating site's theme, nor could he understand why anyone would want what the site offered - true love.
Trevor understood the site's attraction, understood that like many of his good friends, people wanted to meet the love of their life. But Trevor was satisfied with one-night- stands. To him, hook up sex, was perfect. That is until he saw his coupled friends enjoying something he didn't have.
When Trevor and Logan begin their "fake" love fest, the media frenzy brought them into the limelight. Now what? How do they navigate this dangerous path they were forced onto? Does either one of them want more than to fulfill their contract and move on? What will happen to bLoved if their scam is discovered?
Stella Starling did a great job bringing out the inner feelings of all involved. She brought the reader along for a wild ride - a ride that takes the reader into the bedroom, boardroom, and television studio. Further she did a great job peeling back the onion skins on both Trevor and Logan's inner selves.
Read Be True by Stella Starling if you are looking for a romance novel with a realistic storyline.
This review covers the three books in the "At Last, The Beloved Series" because they are sooooooo good and also intertwined with characters and plotlines. I happened to have read the authors' "Semper Fi" series first, which did not blunt my appreciation of this series even though the first book in the Semper Fi was really a follow-up to the third of At Last-Beloved.
First of all, be warned If you are not a fan of Etta James' version of "At Last," you will not be forgiven, because it plays a sweet role as the theme song of the gay dating app company (bloved) that is central to the series. Of course, you will still enjoy the series because lyrics are quoted throughout in the right places.
Also, please note that the covers for each are brilliant. The somewhat younger and more open character in each--Trevor, Kelly and Shane--is in the foreground of each. These covers capture the essence of each couple's personalities and I found it extremely important to enjoying the whole series.
Also important I am not a fan of prologues because many of them pluck a scene out of the story and sort of make it almost a spoiler. In these three books, however, the prologues are just that--events which introduce us to one or more of the main characters seven to ten years before the book actually begins and they are crucial to understanding the motivations of the three men in the background of each of the covers.
All that said, here goes
Be True (Logan and Trevor)
This one involves a rescue mission devised by the bloved brass when its founder and co-owner Kelly Davis is threatened with death by a psychotic stalker who blamed bloved for his lover breaking up with him. Suddenly, Logan Carter, the other co-owner of bloved and a man whose personality can only be described as dull, is thrust into the media spotlight with not a single minute of previous exposure even though he is an extremely wealthy and prominent (but very quiet) businessman.
He is told he needs a PR coach to help him get through six weeks of promotion for bloved and he is terrified--especially since management wants to bring in a Hollywood type to coach him. Logan gets this crazy idea that Trevor Rogers, the openly gay tailor/salesman at the prominent Chicago men's clothier he has visited every month for a year when he comes in from his New York home base is the man to coach him, and all hell breaks loose.
And so does Logan when Trevor accepts and proceeds to "loosen him up" over the course of the book. Trevor is a hoot, and Logan is confused but eminently ready to accept a change in his life. How it happens will make you laugh, cry and hum along to the music of the song that runs the series.
Be Mine (Kelly & Jase)
Kelly Davis goes kicking and screaming into protective custody at the recommendation of the Chicago police in the form of Officer Brandon Byrne because of the threats on his life from the psychotic stalker. He recommends that his uncle's Seattle based security firm dispatch a bodyguard to Chicago to take care of Kelly, and that bodyguard arrives in the very substantial form of ex-military Jase Walker.
Jase has lost one leg due to an IED in Afghanistan but Kelly doesn't know it and that's part of the reason that Jase, a foster child his whole life who never was loved by anyone gets all freaky when Kelly, whom he was smitten by immediately, gets overly friendly with him.
This book is full of tension and some adventure and also violence, but overall it's a wild and wooly ride with loose-as-a-goose Kelly and somewhat uptight Jase trying to get themselves to the point where they can trust each other, if no one at all.
Be Loved (Brandon & Shane)
This one brings all the reasons for the psychotic's motives and actions into play and it is the Chicago-based parallel to the New York and Seattle-based stories in the first two books.
Officer Brandon has never forgiven himself for not coming out to his best high school friend Shane when they were growing up and before Brandon went off to the military (where he met Jase).
Now, he soon suspects that Shane's boyfriend, Peter, is an abusive individual after Shane--at the urging of his friends when Peter is on a business trip--fills out the bloved profile test. Shane freaks out when Peter discovers he's done this (how he finds out is chilling), and he goes running to his still good friend Brandon.
And then all hell breaks loose in Chicago.
This is a perfect denouement to a series that actually works on every page in every book because the characters are so compelling even if the plot is a bit off the wall. Get it and read it in order then go on to the Semper Fi series.
