Forbidden Love
by Mack Black
3.5 Stars!
I was granted an ARC for an honest review...
First, let me say that I know what a labor of love writing a book can be and I did enjoy Forbidden Love, but also struggled with some elements within the story. While I see the relevance for some drug reference or recreation I found it a distraction and uncomfortable to read. Probably because I was a substance abuse counselor for youth in the past and saw too many young lives and families torn apart by drugs and alcohol. With this perception set aside I will review the book more objectively...
Vanessa and Jace have an instant chemistry when they meet as new "step-siblings". That electricity ignites further as the two find enjoyment in smoking weed, watching stand-up comedy, and hanging out without supervision like most teenagers. Both have stories in their pasts that neither is willing to share, yet.
Jace loves a game. Vanessa love a challenge. The two embark in a game of seduction that can only lead to panty melting kisses, secretive touches, and taking it too far to turn back.
I liked the story and did find the end intriguing. The characters grew on me and I wanted to fight for them in the end...
