The only think I didn’t like was the end.

3.5 stars.

I liked this book. Like I finished it in one sitting, and it kept me interested enough.

Also, unpopular opinion, I kind of like how the book ended. I didn’t like how Alfie forgave Nate so fast in the end though…

Nate was intense and romantic I loved that about him, he's the type of guy you wanna bring home to your parents except maybe for the killing part anyway,
I laughed at all of alfie's jokes
He's got the same humor as me.
Their banter is everything just top notch chemistry.
Everyone else can fuck themselves it's them against the world now.

Dude the sexual tension during the blackout scene

“I hate you,” Alfie whispered.
Nate shook his head. “No, you don’t.”

4 This Really Should've Been Longer Stars✨

Because yes, This book is what? 160 or so pages of so much potential to be something so much Bigger and Greater.

Regardless, we got what we did and I'm left with the feeling of a literal Clown Face

*ੈ✩‧₊˚LO PROHIBIDO SIEMPRE ES MÁS ATRACTIVO y este libro es la prueba de ello y me dejó con muchas ganas de saber más sobre nuestros personajes.

Cuando comencé este libro no estaba muy segura de que trataba, pero ya por el título tenía de una leve idea de lo que podría suceder. Sin embargo, fue tan bueno de formas tan distintas a mis típicos libros de amor “convencional” que simplemente me dejó con ganas de leer algo de este estilo nuevamente. Por lo general, los libros que leo son lindos romances, no amores prohibidos, si con mucho drama, pero nada como un PRESO y un REO y esto si que fue totalmente diferente a lo que esperaba.

Spoiler

Alfie es un joven que está trabajando en una cárcel como guardia, solo tiene 18 años y es completamente nuevo en todo, pero siempre ha seguido la ley y siente que este el lugar para seguir con ello. Ahora, todo cambia cuando conoce a Nate, el preso, que está condenado por un triple homicidio. Y es Por Nate que Alfie comienza romper sus reglas y las normas de presión, porque lo que comienza como un coqueteo se transforma en algo más, algo que posiblemente sea amor y que no estaba ni en los planes de Nate ni de Alfie.

Ahora, este libro estuvo tan bueno, el drama fue genial y lo prohibido aún mejor, esas breves escenas donde estaban juntos

This book caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting those characters. They played with me and I loved every second of it. The story was intriguing and funny in some morbid way. The end was not that great at least for me. I was waiting something else. But in general I enjoyed reading it.

This novel was recommended to me after I asked for MM Prison themed stories. It was an absolutely delicious read. My first introduction to Louise Collins and I am not disappointed.
