The Forbidden Man by Karina Halle
3.0
3.5 stars
So this started off as a four-star for me. I enjoyed the angst and I felt the chemistry between the two characters. I love Alejo as a character. Alpha male, passionate and wears his heart on his sleeve. Also, soccer sports romance? Yes please!
However, once the couple ended up together, I felt the only thing that kept them going was their physical attraction to each other.
By the 60% mark, the conflict that kept them apart didn't matter anymore only to become the source of conflict once again a little later on and then only to find out that eventually the conflict could have been sorted out if someone just had the courage to speak. I found the manner in which the conflict was treated was a bit silly and I lost a little interest.
Also, this story is too long.
