Forked: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Melanie Harlow (Frenched, #2)

“I’m looking up at that sky full of stars, somehow I just know that you and me and time and everything in the universe goes on forever.”

Coco Thomas needs her ex-husband Nick Lupo–yes, the one who left her heartbroken in a Vegas hotel room on their wedding night–to cater an event for her. But the cocky chef has stipulations–spend one weekend with him. Despite all the rules and all the years and all the years of heartbreak between them, Forked is a second chance romance that proves, time and time again, soulmates are always meant to be.

To say I am shocked that this was a five star read is an understatement. However, I kind of knew off the first couple pages that this was going to be nothing short of an exceptional journey and I'm so thrilled to have been proven right in such a spectacular fashion.

Coco–the stubborn, impulsive girl who rushes into things and does whatever her heart tells her to. Sure, she has a temper and sure, she's a little hot-headed and sure, she picks fights with Nick and has a tough time getting over her heartbreak, but if I were in her shoes, best believe there would not be anyone left standing because I would burn it all to the ground. She was all fire and sass, but had the biggest heart and I adored her.

Now, the star of the frickin' show: Nick. Lupo. I just knew I was going to love this man, because I loved his son Gianni in [b:Taste|59684983|Taste (Cloverleigh Farms, #7)|Melanie Harlow|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1643074696l/59684983._SY75_.jpg|93982588], but oh my god Nick was hotter, cockier, and just better. (Ellie, I completely understand why you had a crush on him, girlie. I do too.) This man was so smooth, so persistent, so in love with Coco that he would do anything for her and I seriously could not have fallen more in love with him if I tried.

The exact energy it's giving can only be pictured below:


These babies may have been a little bit toxic, but oh my god I love them so much. The pining, the lust, the want, the love is so evident off the pages and I didn't want this book to end. Their story was so beautiful. The number of highlights I had in this book were ridiculous. Nick was all about the little things–wrapping his arms around her waist, slipping into bed with her even though she wad mad, cooking for her, remembering every little thing about her–but also the grand gestures–that last scene had me squealing. This smooth-talking man with gangster in his blood has my heart. One of my top book boyfriends of all time. I'm obsessed with him.

God, the spice. Like, oh my god, a girl was for real soaked. Nick has to be one of the hottest men ever and the frosting? The orchard? The kitchen countertop? If I don't live out the kitchen countertop scene, I am going to have serious issues. I will be livid. I will be displeased. I will be unhappy. I will be going to my lawyer. I will be–

Hands down, one of my favorite books ever and without a doubt, my favorite [a:Melanie Harlow|7095467|Melanie Harlow|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1546130976p2/7095467.jpg] read. You outdid yourself with this one, my dear. They're going to live in my head and my heart for a long long time.

I only wish Nick could live between my legs.

Okay, goodbye now.
