Warning: Forbidden romance ahead

Hi, book buddies :-) I'm back once more with news about a new book by Whitney G. This time it's not so much on the fun side but on the edgy and emotional. 

This is the third standalone in the angsty/toxic Forbidden Wishes series

 

Truth or dare?

"I dare you to stop pretending like you still want to be a virgin when you're around me…"

 

As much as I wanted to say those words to Emily O'Hara after the night we first met, I never did.

Instead, I dared myself to leave her alone.

 

But I lost that game.

I gave up trying to win.

 

She was the first girl who didn't run when she found out how damaged I was.

I was the first guy who could read through her sexy sarcasm with ease.

 

Our connection was toxic and fiery, but we had to douse the flames before getting any closer.

We realized she could never be mine, and I could never be hers.

 

I was days away from becoming her stepbrother.

 

💜

I WISH I WOULD'VE WARNED YOU

Genre: Forbidden romance

MY OPINION

Lyrical, provocative and dancing on the edge of dark drama. I'm always down for this author's romcoms, yet when she writes these novels filled with beautiful words and sad themes, she excels and I'm happy.

Forbidden romance between a girl who aspires to become a poet and his soon-to-be stepbrother who's drowning in his dark past. Easy to read, yet packs some intense feelings. Family secrets, toxic entanglements, the clash between public image and private pain. The characters feel a powerful connection, but they have to deal with expectations and self-destruction. Or are there some twists that change everything for them?

I really liked the heat this couple shares, and their undeniable feelings mixed with a terrible family circus. Pretty little poems abound as well as a hard-earned realisation of their worth.

HERE IS MY OPINION :-)

Mesmerising, erotic, lyrical.

I wasn't sure what I would find beyond the thrill of a forbidden story between a professor and his young student. This goes way beyond my wanton expectations.

It's beautifully written. It's arousing. It's also magnificent.

The first chapters had me in the grasp of hypnosis. I was engrossed in that twisted yet poetic first encounter between the prey and the predator. Red-hot fantasy encased in moving feelings, tantalizing discovery and unstoppable lust. Perfect.

The story, however, goes deeper. It tackles Shakespeare, roots that are impossible to outrun, a connection that defies society and the always alluring setting of Tanglewood. 

To my surprise, the story packs layer upon layer of little plot twists that pile up to change assumptions, complicate things and obliterate everything the reader believed about survivor Anne, her fascinating friend Daisy (I crave her story), that deviously hot professor and the enigmatic Tanglewood University. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of clever mystery and dark secrets. To say that I must read the next book is an understatement. 

It was supposed to be one night with a handsome stranger. I never thought I would see him again. Until the first day of class.

He’s my new professor.

And my ex-boyfriend’s father.

He has a world of secrets in his eyes and the weight of the world on his shoulders. I should stay away from him, but the more I try, the more consumed he gets.

His possessiveness is rivaled only by his secretive nature. He knows everything about me, but mystery surrounds him. Shadows threaten the entire university…and our forbidden love.

Teach me hard and I'll learn love

Hi, book buddies :-) I've been reading a new mystery book by Jacqueline Wingspear lately, but today I'm here to tell you about a romance book by the iconic and ridiculously unexpected Whitney G. This is her new book and it is hot and hilarious.

Brace yourselves, book lovers!

I WISH I WOULD'VE CHOSEN YOU.

The cover!

Release date: February 12th

Genre: Forbidden romance

 

Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions

in this Forbidden Romance

that will leave you breathless!

A tale of forbidden desires, toxic undertones,

and unexpected twists awaits you.

Whitney G. takes you on an emotional ride that

will challenge your heart and

leave you questioning everything.

This isn't your typical love story,

and the author wants you to know it.

 

MY OPINION

Forbidden romance is temptation enough. Make it between a student and a teacher who are both into literature and consumed by volatile feelings and passion, and you have first-class entertainment right at your fingertips.

The characters are caught between tearing each other apart and kissing each other to pieces. It's that stormy. I think this angry romance has good points. For starters, the meet-cute is laden with rebellion, rule-breaking atmosphere, literature, connection and hot promises. From the moment the characters realise who they are to each other in terms of school hierarchy, it explodes into a festival of snark, dangerous flirting, dreams of academic excellence and the occasional boundary-breaking of erotic fun. 

Sometimes I felt taken aback by how harsh Liam can be to Genevieve, but that is typical in all male characters in this author's books. Men are dreamily handsome but a nightmare when they get angry. However, she is strong-headed, brave and never relents. I really enjoyed all the talk about essays and literature.

All the time, I feared they would be caught, even though many scenes are surreal and funny. I wanted them to finally be free to indulge in their no-rein desire. Oh, my, the ups and downs this couple goes through, though. I was dizzy by the time drama hits its highest point and I admit I was not expecting exactly how it all happened. We got some clues, but no, romantic me was not anticipating the devious mind twist the author had devised. I was distraught to say the least. 

And the last part of the story is another rollercoaster which brings about interesting scenarios... and a hint at what else is coming in the future. Loved all the craziness and the hotness!

Sorry for the long review :-D

Do you dare to read the blurb...?

I should've known better.
I should've left her alone…

She told me she was twenty-one.
I found out that was a lie.

There was over a decade between us, and sure, she was mature for her age, but I

kept my distance every chance I could.

At least, I tried to.

There aren’t too many places to hide on a boarding school's campus, and there are far

more places to get caught…

I never intended for this to happen.

I was her English professor, and she was only supposed to be my student.

MY OPINION

Villainous, violent, and viciously dirty.

Russian mafia meets obsessed alpha male with a decadent twist.

I wasn't sure about the theme at first, and I'm not going to say it's just easily forgettable. Far from it, the slightly incestuous link between the characters is at the core of this novel. It is its juice. Yeah, it's that naughty.

The forbidden and the crossing of lines are fundamental pillars of the appeal for readers who feel titillated by the walk on the knife edge. Uncle Kristian and his niece make a powerfully charged couple.

What I like the most about this novel is that it is not straightforward. Even the timeline is zigzagging from the start, which I believe adds depth to the plot and layers to the characters' relationship. Also, the sheer hotness of their interactions is magnificent. There's evolution in the characters, too. They act according to their experiences as they fight enemies, betrayal, power dynamics, forbidden lust, and a bond that defies age, family and law.

So it's this man against the world when it comes to claiming a mafia empire on the brink of disaster and the mafia heiress who can rule them all. I loved that she doesn't make it easy for him, that there's this deep need between them despite the mistrust and the taboo.

What about his penchant for blood? Wow, that man is a god of wrath! He knows how to exact revenge in the name of his beloved alright. Some scenes are creepy :-D

The story reaches a point where it tanks into a blood slash lust fest, where the protector goes quite insane in his crusade to claim his queen. I't entertaining, don't get me wrong, but I enjoyed it more when the couple leaves their frenzy behind and concentrate more on power, family and relationships. The final part is full of danger and emotion, and luckily happiness, too.
