I listened to this book on audible and I would highly recommend it.įorbidden Love is sometimes the best kind of loveĪBSOLUTELY FANTATSTIC! Marley Valentine delivers another emotionally gripping love story of self discovery, sacrifices and forbidden love. All the characters in this book were likeable, except Elijah’s parents and the Dean of the University, and they all surrounded Elijah with the love, family and friendship that he had missed out on. It was never going to be plain sailing and they both knew the consequences of their love, Cole could lose his job and Elijah could lose his hard earned scholarship. Because of Elijah’s upbringing at times he seemed to be the older more sensible one and the voice of reason.

Elijah was an innocent but the chemistry between them was instant and as Elijah gradually let his defences down and told Cole of his terrible upbringing, his cold parents and his solitary existence Cole wanted to do everything in his power to protect him and give him all the experiences that he had missed out on. Although Cole is Elijah’s Professor and there is 14 years separating them you never got the impression of a Professor taking advantage of a student. Cole treats Elijah with so much reverence and care and with every touch you can feel the love building. Even the sex scenes are laced with emotion and not just lust. It was well written with lots of emotion, some angst and plenty of heat.

This book has been in my TBR for a while and I really wish I had read it sooner.
