Forbidden by Karla Sorensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book Description:
No man has ever rattled Isabel Ward. Until Aiden Hennessy walks in the door of her gym—ownership papers in hand.
The former fighter is a lot of things- a single dad, a widower trying to start over, and a watchful presence that knocks her off her very capable feet.
To make matters worse, Isabel had a crush on him for the entirety of her teenage years. Doodles in her diaries and letters declaring her admiration—while never sent—haunt the absolute crap out of her now that she has to face him every day.
No woman has ever tempted Aiden to move on from the memory of his wife—until Isabel. She’s too young, too fiery, too much of everything he should avoid.
But avoiding is impossible, just like pretending the blistering chemistry between them doesn’t exist.
Now that the unshakeable woman is shaken and the un-temptable man is tempted, Isabel and Aiden have to decide what they’re willing to risk for a taste of the forbidden.

I found this book to be incredibly enjoyable. Unfortunately I kept comparing it to Kulti, and since that book was pretty much perfection, this one couldn't match it. And that was all on me. I was in the mood for Kulti, and should have just reread it but I also wanted something new.
I liked the slow burn of this book but at the same time, it was almost a little too slow. I understood why Aiden got spooked, but I wish there had been more communication between Aiden and Isabel. It just left me feeling like the end was too rushed. They finally get together at the wedding and then it's the end of the book. It just felt like something was missing.
I enjoyed Isabel's family. I'll definitely have to go back and read their books. The family definitely made the book.
