Hurts to Love You
Author Alisha Rai
Pub Date: March 27, 2018
Synopsis:
Being bad never felt so good, in the third novel in
Alisha Rai’s sexy Forbidden Hearts series!
Well-behaved women don’t lust after men who love to misbehave.
Heiress Evangeline Chandler knows how to keep a secret . . . like her life-long crush on the tattooed hottie who just happens to be her big brother’s friend. She’s a Chandler, after all, and Chandlers don’t hook up with the help. Then again, they also don’t disobey their fathers and quit their respectable jobs, so good-girl rules may no longer apply.
Gabriel Hunter hides the pain of his past behind a smile, but he can’t hide his sudden attraction to his friend’s sheltered little sister. Eve is far too sweet to accept anything less than forever and there’s no chance of a future between the son of a housekeeper and the town’s resident princess.
When a wedding party forces Eve and Gabe into tight quarters, keeping their hands off each other will be as hard as keeping their clothes on. The need that draws them together is stronger than the forces that should shove them apart . . . but their sparks may not survive the explosion when long-buried secrets are finally unearthed.

Evangeline
Chandler is an introvert and has self esteem issues stemming from the men in
her life.
Gabriel
(Gabe) Hunter, is an extrovert that is hiding an age-old family secret
On the
outside, their love seems impossible. They are on opposite sides of a family
feud and have a 12-year age gap between them.
If that isn’t enough, he is a tattoo artist while she is an heiress to one
of the richest families around. How can
these two people from opposite sides of the spectrum ever be together?
This is a
wonderful story of family, friendship and love.
It is the third and final book in the Forbidden Hearts series and is
told in dual POV. It is also the first
book I read in this series. Although it
can be read as a standalone, I believe reading the previous books in this
series first would lend more enjoyment to this last instalment. This is the denouement if you will to the
series and as result it concludes and mentions many characters, family ties,
dynamics and history.
With that
aside, this was a well written, engaging read.
I would not hesitate to read another book from this author.
Thank You
to Edelweiss + and Avon Books for the ARC.
