I loved every minute of this, from the heartbreaking prologue, to the near-constant sexual tension, to the absolutely SWOONY conclusion. I knew this was going to be something special when I was holding back tears within 5 minutes of reading, and that turned out to be completely true. The immediate ZAP of connection between these two was just the start of the palpable chemistry between them. It’s sexy and intense, but also an excruciatingly slow burn, and I loved the push/pull dynamic. Isabel and Aiden are both fierce and strong, with vulnerabilities that leave them raw and exposed. Their chemistry was electric from the start, and it slowly simmered into something really beautiful by the end.
The story follows Isabel, the spitfire of a woman that we’ve met in previous books in the series. Though this will definitely read as a standalone, those who have been following the series will appreciate the truly great family moments. Isabel is the most stubborn, strong sister of the bunch, and she rarely lets anything get under her skin. But when a former fighter takes over ownership of the gym Isabel works at, it throws her completely off-balance. Ten years her senior, Aiden is a retired athlete whose poster graced Isabel’s teenage walls. She’s always felt a connection to him, but that’s nothing compared to how she feels once they meet in person. The problem? Aiden is a widower who is just trying to make a peaceful life for his daughter. And being near Isabel is anything but relaxing.
There’s seriously nothing sexier than a big, brute of a man who is so completely gentle around his daughter. Aiden is probably one of the kindest, most caring heroes I’ve read about, and the contrasts between his profession and his personality are positively swoon-worthy. I absolutely loved him. And Isabel is his perfect match; they are so similar in certain ways, yet vastly different in others. The found family element and shared heartache are strong elements here, as is the endless sexual tension. This is my favorite kind of slow burn, where the intensity is there from start to finish – but lines aren’t crossed until the perfect moment. I just devoured this, completely engaged in the relationship from start to finish. And it wraps the series up with a tidy little bow, while also leaving me wanting more. I was lucky enough to receive an early copy (then purchased it for my collection), and am voluntarily leaving a review of this forbidden romance.

About the author
Forbidden was so many things that it's hard to form into words!
4.5 STARS! Forbidden is my first Ward Sisters' read... I know, I know. I started the series backwards but after reading this book I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to going back and reading the other sisters' books! Karla Sorensen's Forbidden centers around a single dad who falls for his manager who also happens to be 10 years younger than him. She brings chaos and unbalance to his life but at the same time he's never known such peace, even before the loss of his wife. How could I not fall in love with this beautiful premise?! Aiden fought with his feelings for Isabel. She made him feel so many things all at once. From the moment they meet, their chemistry is palpable. Having harbored a huge crush on Aiden in her teen years, Isabel knew exactly who he was from the beginning. Now as a woman, Aiden brings those heavy emotions out of her tenfold. Another beauty about this story was Anya. Watching her and Isabel together was heartwarming. Anya could feel deep in her little heart that Isabel was the one for her and her father. Glah! This romance might have been a tortuous slow burn but watching them finally come together brought it full circle. At times it was flawed and had its challenges, but it was also powerful and magical. I saw how Aiden struggled to realize he loved another so soon after the death of his beloved wife. Then, Isabel who is closed off and guarded, opens herself up and becomes the strength for both Aiden and Anya. Forbidden was so many things that it's hard to form into words. I would have loved more moments where they got to know one another a bit better. Nevertheless, I’m excited for what Karla has teased about the next series coming up! I'm jumping into all the books now.
