I feel like I just went through a long excruciating painful journey. I’m exhausted, sad and happy that I got to witness this very complicated forbidden taboo romance. Some love stories are messy and then there are others that have the power to change your entire life and this was one of them. 


 After a tragedy that cemented his future, Brant knew from that very moment that his life was never going to be the same. But with tragedy, something unexpected happened and slowly the pain became bearable because of one person. As the months turned into years, that lifeline of a person became the ultimate forbidden fruit.



I truly think that everyone needs to go into this story blindly. The blurb was vague for a reason and I know that once you start this journey, you're going to be thankful that it was done that way. I will admit that I think that this story was too long with an extremely slow burn but I can see why it was told that way. We needed to see things in different stages and feel these characters emotions for those pivotal moments and embrace the hurt. 


This was my first time reading anything from this author and I'm so happy that I chose this book to be my first. The raw emotions that were felt as you go through the pages was something that only a seasoned writer could evoke in a reader and I really liked that. If you've been looking to read an emotional forbidden romance, then you might want to give this one a try.
