Review of Forbidden Shelter (Winning Your Heart Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett
Nola's been in love with her father's friend and right hand man, Travis, for years, but it's not until she's a bit older that she gets her chance with the man. But in the meantime, Travis has vowed to always look after her and her twin sister, Lizette, after promising their father. When he starts developing decidedly unfatherly like feelings for Nola, though, he knows he has to shove those feelings down deep inside and never let them out, especially after both their parents are gone, and it's up to him to protect the sisters.
Although mostly interesting, I admit I skimmed a bit while reading Forbidden Shelter. I found Nola to be too much of a drama queen for my tastes. Yes, I felt for her, as her life was hard, and she and her sister went through a lot of pain. It's just that it was too much for me, she was too much for me. I do like Travis, though, and appreciate how he handled not only the sisters, but his responsibilities to his family and his company, and especially, his newfound feelings for Nola. He's the real standout in Forbidden Shelter, as far as I can see. Aside from Nola's drama llama tendencies, though, and the slightly draggy pace, I mostly enjoyed Forbidden Shelter and wouldn't mind reading more from this author.
