Forbidden Intent by Cadence Keys
4.0
You guys - this book literally sucked me IN. I could not put it down, and it makes me excited to see what couple this little series will follow next. This CAN be read as a standalone - I know, because I did it. I had the opportunity to read this as an ARC from The Smuthood & Cadence Keys.
The tropes we see: rockstar romance, forbidden, age gap, and he falls first. Truly, it had so many sweet moments while covering some very sensitive topics. There is sexual abuse and drug abuse being talked about heavily throughout the entire book that kind of makes it feel a bit heavy. I read the remainder of this on a plane to Phoenix last week and it sat with me for a long while. Even had my jaw dropping at the ending and I just sat there, staring at the seat ahead of me trying to process.
The story? Miles is 28 and is the drummer in an upcoming band. Tamsin is 18, in college to become a publicist within the music industry and her father is one of the biggest producers in Hollywood. She just so happens to be Miles’ new producer’s only daughter. Tamsin was sexually assaulted years before in high school and only her best friend and therapist kind of know the details. She meets Miles and he falls instantly, but tries to stay away for the band’s sake - because come on, it’s their big break!! Tamsin hasn’t gotten close to anyone after her assault and she blames herself for everything that happened - but she learns to trust Miles and it really unfolds into such a beautiful story.
