Once forbidden, twice shy is a must read!!
Loved this stand alone book! I could not put it down, and that is saying something because I am not much of a reader. I found the book from a tiktok the author had posted, and so glad I purchased it. With the brothers best friend storyline and adding a different country into the mix with the new jobs was a great addition. I was questioning the book towards the end but the author pulled it together beautifully!
I hope I have persuaded you to read the book, and that you enjoy it just as much as I did.
Happy reading!!

BOOKWORM REVIEW: Once Forbidden, Twice Shy by Carrie Aarons
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥 "Someone who puts their own feelings aside for years in a move they think will make your own life easier? That's love, sweetheart." One of my favorite tropes summed up in two sentences, and it is the ultimate theme of this read. Taylor Arnold is ready for a new beginning. She has moved her life from New York to London -- away from family, away from secrets she would rather leave in the past. Unfortunately, fate did not quite get the memo as her boss turns out to be none other than Jack Merrick. Jack is her brother's best friend and was her childhood crush..or so she thought when she finally mended her shattered heart. She and Jack finally acted on her feelings a few days after her college graduation party only for him to leave without a word the following day. Now here he is, and she has to work with him every day. Jack is not without his own share of secrets. He thought he has put enough distance between himself and Taylor to quell his feelings for her, but one look and those suppressed emotions have come back in full force. I really enjoy a good heart-wrenching read, and Carrie Aarons always delivers. She gives us two adults tackling young love and heartbreak with maturity and -- especially in a workplace setting -- professionalism. I absolutely love that Jack was wholeheartedly in love with Taylor from the beginning and completely committed once he realizes that resistance is indeed futile. I adore a couple who is connected physically and emotionally, and we get that with Jack and Taylor. Carrie Aarons did a great job of balancing the spicy moments with emotional conversations. I also love that while Taylor's brother Kit was skeptical and a bit hurt from their reveal (rightfully so), he and the rest of the family eventually embrace it without being condescending to Taylor and disrespectful to Jack as the best friend's sister tends to be. The pacing towards the end was a little off to me with trying to tie off the loose ends in the book, but it did not take away too much from this enjoyable read.
