pn_hinton 's review for:
Hurts to Love You
by Alisha Rai
I really was totally on the fence about starting this series due to how much it was hyped up, but I am really glad I gave it a chance. This series got better with each novel, and this one was my favorite by far. Maybe because I have a soft spot for really tall heroes but whatever the reason this one just really sealed the deal for me and I thought it was a wonderful way to end the series.
I admit that the revelations that were revealed here were not exactly what I was expecting so I was surprised by all of those. One of the strongest themes in these books was the idea of family and what that means. It is also not even only the family that you are born into but the family that you make along the way and how strong those bonds can be. There were a few scenes here that made me tear up as it showed the ways our families, specifically our parents, can harm or heal us and that there can be others there to pick up the pieces.
I also enjoyed Gabe and Eve's relationship and how it progressed. I don't feel it was too fast or too slow and their love scenes were extremely hot! Like, fan-worthy, tall cold glass of water hot. But it didn't drive the story which I really liked since, as much as I enjoyed the other two volumes, I feel that it was the sex that drove most of the story. To be fair those, in the first one it had been an established relationship that broke up because of a meddling father, and the second one they were friends and there was a bit of a taboo about their relationship. So, in a sense this is the only one where the hero and heroine had to get to know each other outside of the box they had assigned each other to earlier in life.
I heartily recommend all three books and I may end up buying these for myself at some point since they were all library loans since I am 'bookin' on a budget', and if I do this will, hands down, be the one that will be the most read. All the thumbs up for this one!!
