Forbidden to Love by Kelly Hartigan (XterraWeb), Regina Wamba, Siobhan Davis

4.0

⭐️ 4.5 Stars ⭐️
I was so intrigued about Natalia and Leo's backstory while reading Condemned to Love that I was excited when Siobhan Davis announced she was writing their own book. Forbidden to Love was so perfectly named as it made me hurt so badly from the impossibility of this couple's future.

It was clear for the start that Nat and Leo shared a tangible connection, but their respective situation in the mafia world made their love story dangerous and impossible. I enjoyed discovering the start of them in their teenager / young adult years where love developed before getting ripped from them.

I absolutely loved this novel, but felt the first part of the story describing their past was a bit too long. The story switched to the present at only aroung 60% of the book which made the resolution of their romance somewhat rushed. Otherwise, I was utterly captivated by this book that also gave me more of Sierra, Ben and little Rowan.

Siobhan Davis sure knows how to write addictive romances blanding emotion, suspense and steam! Forbidden to Love was a real page-turner! I'm now so eager to read Serena and Alesso's book!
