Forbidden Heir by Michelle Heard
3.0
Rating: 3 Stars
POV(s): Dual—First Person
Relationship: M/F
Genre(s): Contemporary Romance
❥
I set myself up for disappointment by reading this book without having read any of the prior books in the series. My lack of familiarity and emotional connection with the vast cast of characters in this universe just left me feeling lost and overwhelmed. This isn’t a criticism of the author, just an acknowledgment that I’m responsible for my less than satisfactory reading experience.
With that being said, I did struggle with the writing; the style just didn’t work for me (I’ve read a previous book by this author and I don’t recall having the same issue). And at times, Ryker and Danny came across as a bit cringy as a couple.
The only real saving grace for me was the MMC, Ryker. He was so incredibly devoted to Danny and was her anchor in the middle of the storm. This isn’t to say that I disliked Danny, as she was a brave and loving woman; but for some reason I can’t get over the fact that her bright idea to keep her cancer diagnosis a secret was to pretend to have the flu, but she was so devastated by the diagnosis that she kept sobbing in front of Ryker when he came over to take care of her—who sobs when they have the flu?! I can’t believe that Ryker actually believed her when she denied anything more being wrong, but maybe I’m alone in the fact that the most I do when sick is whimper and moan because in no way have I ever had the energy it takes to sob nonstop.
