BOOK REVIEW- A Hunger for the Forbidden BY Maisey Yates

A Hunger for the Forbidden 

Scandalized & Seduced: to desire a Corretti…  

Alessia Battaglia is a vision in white…as she flees the church. She's abandoned her fiancé, praying that his cousin, Matteo Corretti will come after her. 

Because there are two things Matteo doesn't know… Alessia is pregnant, and the child is his! 

The Highest Price to Pay 

All about the money? 

Blaise Chevalier intends to discard Ella Stanton's failing business—that is, until he meets her! Cast in the same fiery mold, she's an intriguing adversary.  

Proud and beautiful, Ella's determined to prove Blaise wrong…if she can just ignore the flicker of attraction burning between them!   AMAZON   4 STARS


Both stories were emotional with good main characters.  Their stories were different from each other but also something a bit different from the usual stories that you see.  I do see one thing that they do have in common that I just realized.  The men in both stories had been SO burned by life and love that they shut down their emotions and refused to feel.  Love was something that they didn't believe in anymore.

When it comes to being burned, Ella literally was.  It felt like that part of the story was well written.  The emotional as well as the physical things she had gone through was detailed without being gory.  She is still trying to overcome the emotional fears of being rejected because of her scars.  

I do have to say that when it came to the first story, I was shocked when after running out on her wedding there was a huge twist.  Alessia was running towards Matteo and then a huge surprise.  


Although I liked both books, I think the second one with Ella and Blaise is probably my favorite.
