Mr. May: A Forbidden Love Romance by Nicole S. Goodin
4.0
Trigger Warnings include:
death of parents, trauma/grief
She's going to destroy me, this woman, I can feel it. And I’m more than willing to let her; I’ll probably destroy her the same way in return.
I’ve never had a thing for a surfer before. But there’s always a first time for everything! There’s a lovely unwritten rule that the baby sisters are off limits. Jake will be the first one to tell you that a stupid rule like that could never keep him from looking at his rival’s little sister. Especially knowing it riled him up! Eden is a model for one of Jake’s sponsors, and she travels with her brother Zeke. So her and Jake not only see each other all the time, but they have developed their very own pre-competition ritual. Besides that and the occasional crossing of paths on the beach, they’re just kind of in each other’s vicinity. They have such great banter, which builds even better sexual tension! They weren’t enemies, but he IS the enemy, and she’s off limits. One night, Jake saves her. And after that night, their bond is undeniable. When Jake has the opportunity to have Eden all to himself, he takes it. And as they say, the rest is history. Eden finds comfort and trust in Jake. He changes her. Helps her feel whole again. Safe. Jake isn’t as cocky as everyone makes him out to be. He absolutely has a soft center, even if it is just for Eden and his little brother. Between how sweet he is, his dirty mouth, and his cocky arrogance ways out of the beach, I swooned entirely too much for that man. And don’t get me started on the bond between Jake and his brother…my ovaries are just about as weak as Eden’s!
