read for PopSugar 2019 Advanced Reading Challenge: two books with the same title, paired with [b:Forbidden|7600924|Forbidden|Tabitha Suzuma|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1394239949s/7600924.jpg|10018976] by Tabitha Suzuma

I'm really disappointed with this book. I wanted to like it because the premise was so interesting, but the story just fell flat for me. The writing was really simple and seemed to be more telling than showing. I ended this book having no real conception of Eddy and Rhine because I didn't get a real glimpse into their interior worlds. The relationship seemed driven only by sexual attraction. Also, I know there were stakes to this story, but I never felt suspense. Rhine changes his mind nearly instantly, and it just... I don't know.

I couldn't connect with this story, but I already have the other two books in this trilogy checked out and I'm already a little bit into Breathless, so I'm hoping it improves!
