Review Blitz: The Forbidden One (The Weston Group #5) by Marni Mann


The Forbidden One by Marni Mann is now live!

An emotionally gripping, angsty, he-falls-first, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

I don’t believe in love. He’s willing to burn down the world to win my heart. I never expected him to succeed.

They used to call me the sassy one.
Unafraid. Uninhibited. Unstoppable.

Until the night everything changed.
The evening that scarred me and altered my life’s path.
I was left shattered and haunted by who I’d never be and what I’d never have.

Now, they call me the forbidden one.
Closed off. Guarded. Surrounded by affection, but unwilling to love anyone besides my family.

And then, out of nowhere, comes a man I least expect. Impressive on paper, even more so in person, and after each encounter, he leaves me craving …

More than I’ve wanted with any other man.
Moments that will overshadow the darkest ones.

Troy Wolf is everything I’m not looking for.
Everything I don’t want.
And yet he’s everything I need.

There’s just one problem …

My heart is locked.

Can I open it enough to let Troy in? Or will the ghosts from my past stand between us and our forever?

MY REVIEW


Eden is about to the end of the long, backbreaking road she's taken for her family's company to purchase another family company to augment their own empire, when Troy and his legal expertise are paired with her. She's kept herself closed off from people, especially men, so why is she finding it so hard to keep Troy at arms' length? He's patient and persistent, but never aggressively, and he's snuck past her defenses. Finding out that they share a particularly heartbreaking connection only cements their connection. Now she's headlong, and thriving in the safe haven Troy has given her. There's only 1 last, but serious, obstacle, and it's one they both must face, but will do it together.


I get positively giddy when the man falls first and hard, so I knew I was going to love Troy. I really had no idea, though, just how down bad he'd be, how long he'd wait, and how patient he'd be, for Eden. He couldn't get her out of his mind from the first time they met, and in all those years since, he's never once stopped pining for her. I love all Eden's brother's stories, but Eden's is by far the best, my favorite in this whole series. It's only fitting that Marni would save the best for last, and damn did she give us the best in Troy and Eden! Eden's backstory is heart wrenching, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed more than a few tears as I read of what she went through. She came through it scarred, yes, but emerged a survivor with strength most of us will never have. She deserved the best, the kind of love we dream of, with the greenest flag hero one could imagine, and she got, deservedly, all that in Troy. I'm going to miss the Westons, but what a way for their series to end!

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
