⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a new author to me and for this read I had seen the blurb and was trying to prepare myself before hand knowing that the forbidden love was a sensitive situation. Meeting Boone at first made me feel for him and his situation with Jade and all of their emotions. Grady seems like a young great guy who loves his sister and has idolized his brother in law. This story is a slow burn as the author lays the groundwork of Boones failing marriage. Forbidden love to the 100th power and it was a bit sticky to me and I had a lot of emotions. First I was team Jade then I was like Go Boone and Grady but it was hard. This story in the context of Only thinking about Boone and Grady is beautiful and raw. Forbidden , age gap and bi awakening all just hits all the feels. The situation of why it was forbidden was a bit harder for me to swallow. In the end there is a HEA and I was happy for the couple and bad for Jade.

Rule number one: Don’t fall for my brother in law. 

It should be easy, right? 

Wrong.

When I moved in with my sister over summer break, I had no intention of returning to college in the fall. A work trip for her meant a lot of time alone for me with her husband. Boone Stanton. World famous bull rider and way, way off limits. 

A few late night, deep conversations between the two of us, only the midnight sky our witness, and suddenly, I can’t look away. Can’t keep my mind off of him. 

It’s in the way he works around the yard, sweaty and shirtless. The way his eyes soften and he leans into his playful side around his daughter. And it’s in the way he makes me feel seen. The way he’s slowly chipping away at my exterior without even realizing it. 

Then one night I see something I shouldn’t. Something that makes my mouth water and my heart race. Except when he catches me, instead of stopping and reprimanding me, he… keeps going. 

Now, I have the opportunity of a lifetime but it means going on the road with him. It means living in even closer quarters than before. It also means doubling down on keeping my hands to myself and my gaze away from his dark, observing eyes. 

But I’m only human, and it’s only a matter of time before I crack. Before I give in and do something I can’t take back. 

Something that could cost me everything.
