Sometimes my brother didn’t hold back, but I couldn’t blame him for being protective. “You’d better bring the pepper spray with you if your stubborn ass won’t change into something decent.” So you can imagine where my head had been lately. At twenty-seven, Jace was the boy I remembered lusting after, but even bigger and better. I certainly never imagined he’d end up living with us.

He’d stayed away for nine years in total and had only recently moved back home to Florida. And he only came home in the summer for the first few years. My twelve-year-old heart had been devastated when Jace moved away to attend school in North Carolina. This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.And then? He was gone. The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.īut more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection. Still, I assumed he would never… go there. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away. I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven. That was what made things so complicated. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.īut he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. It was just the three of us-an odd family dynamic. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. If there was only one small complaint and I mean teeny tiny complaint I would have loved more angst, BUT all and all it was a lovely, sad, tragic, SEXY and beautiful read.įrom New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love…


I really liked Jace and Farrah, their chemistry was a amazing! and holy heck HOT!! Life threw a lot at them and I was rooting for them every step of the way. She always had a crush on him and he only seen her as his best friend’s kid sister, until one day he started to see her as more. Jace and Farrah had a long history, with him being best friends with her brother and all. Ah forbidden love is one of my favorite reads! The Crush had all the feels for a love story that was complicated, but beautiful.
