DNF at 75% when FMC has a surprise pregnancy ..... This totally changes the narrative of what I imagine how the story will go. Urgh.

Forbidden Hearts is the first book in the Whitlock Family series. This book is about Asher and Phoebe, and is told from both of their points of view.

When Phoebe has a rough time in college she returns to her home town. Asher is now the sole responsible parent to his daughter while her mom is off on a trip for work. They aren't together, and he needs to help care for his daughter who is deaf.

Phoebe's dad asks her to help Asher out since she is going to school for that. Phoebe is going through some hard times so she takes the job.

So much happens in this. I fell in love with all of these characters, especially the little girl. I loved the conflict these characters went through, and how they were resolved.

I'm super excited to continue on with this series, and to see where it goes from here!

The age gap was just so weird. I couldn’t get around it. It wouldn’t have been as weird if he hadn’t know her when she was a teen. But it was so creepy.
