A review by kkimlyreads
Strictly Forbidden Intent by Michele Lenard

3.0

This is a second chance romance between two people who's parents are married. It's a bit of a taboo romance, the taboo isn't much of an issue for the characters as I would have expected. It's very positive.
I really don't like the miscommunication trope and it was the driving factor for the dispute here. There was also an 8-years later gap and I felt like the Sawyer didn't mature much at all. I wanted more character growth for both Sawyer and Wes. I would have loved to see Sawyer end up in a career she is just as passionate about as Wes is towards football.
I do like how everyone around them was so supportive and loving, making the main characters their worst enemy. This writing was done well and it was very easy to read.
