Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai
5.0
I'm so sad this series had to end, but it ends on such a good note! Eve and Gabe have such good chemistry in this book and we get to learn all the family drama secrets. I can see some readers thinking the plot/secrets to be a bit contrived--everything does fall into place and there are quite a few prominent tropes--but I think that's part of the fun. I love the author's note at the end too and about how the goal of the series was to promote hope in seemingly impossible situations. I look forward to reading the rest of the books from this author and seeing what's next. I highly recommend this series!
Tropes: m/f; working-class male with ridiculously rich female; animated extroverted tattooed male and reserved emotionally-stunted female; childhood acquaintances to lovers; semi-slow burn; crude language and sexy goodness throughout; issues with biological parents on both sides; dealing with abandonment, neglect, and emotional abuse; racially diverse couple--she's Greek/European, he's White/Hawaiian; he's adopted and has intimacy issues; she's learning how to open up and have feelings after years of emotional abuse
Heat rating: HOT—sex scenes throughout with explicit language, which adds to the overall story and relationship.
