Complicated
In a world of new single dad, age gap, small town romances, there a few bright lights that do it well. And if youโre into that side of romance reading, youโll find a great read here.
๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐ป๐ณ๐ผ: Forbidden Hearts, the first book in the new Whitlock Family character series by Corinne Michaels.
๐๐ง๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ: Age gap, single father, disability representation (deaf daughter and FMC is an audiologist),enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, nanny, law enforcement, small town.
๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐: Asherโs childcare falls through, and in a desperate moment he hires his bossโs daughter - Phoebe, the daughter of the towns police chief who is going to school to be an audiologist. Sheโs perfect for his deaf daughter, but he canโt stand her from the start.
๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Iโm the first person to say nearly evvvvveryone is putting out this trope combination these days some are getting the mark, and this was one that I enjoyed.
The trajectory of this story wasnโt linear like we are used to. There were some very unexpected turns along the way to Asher and Phoebeโs happy ending. There were some really interesting non-traditional plot devices (trying not to spoil anything!) that went into this, and some tension-filled spice as well.
Iโm usually a stickler for a female main character in these age gap romances to have a clear personality and to have dreams
Of her own, and I think Phoebe was a good example. And her relationship with Asherโs little girl was heartwarming to read as well.
Overall itโs a great read if you like the subgenre.
