REVIEW: Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai

Hate to Want You (Forbidden Hearts #1) by Alisha Rai HOT HOT HOT! That is what you get in Hate to Want You (Forbidden Hearts #1) by Alisha Rai. The chemistry between these characters is way off the charts. I swear anytime they were together, they set off the smoke alarms. This is the first book in the Forbidden Hearts series, and I am already waiting for book 2. This is the story of Livvy and Nicholas.

For years Livvy and Nicholas have had a secret arrangement, they would meet for one night, have hot passionate sex and go their separate ways. No one could know, especially not their families. They were engaged once, but that ended when his mother and her father died together in a car crash, add to that her twin brother was accused of burning down one of the family stores and the spelled the end of their relationship. Or did it?

This year, Livvy did not text Nicholas with the meeting location and it drove him right out of his every loving mind. But when she heads back to town to help her mother recover from a hip surgery, it might be the perfect time for Nicholas and Livvy to get each other out of their systems once and for all. Or will it?

As they form a new pack, spend time together, take it out, and …..other activities, they fall deeper and deeper. When Nicholas has to make a decision to fight for Livvy, to fight for their love, it will take everything he can throw at it to convince Livvy that he will never walk away from her again, that he will fight for them for the rest of his life.

I loved the connection between Livvy and Nicholas. They really had chemistry, and when Livvy came clean about her depression, Nicholas was supportive, loving and wanted nothing more than to prove to her that he didn’t care about that. He loved her, really loved her. When Nicholas came clean about the real reason that he was forced to walk away from Livvy all those years ago, Livvy was hurt that he did not trust her enough to tell her back then, but she understood. She agreed that he was left with no choice. But when they decided that their love was worth the risk, was worth fighting for, the HEA for these two was super sweet.

One night. No one will know.

That was the deal. Every year, Livvy Kane and Nicholas Chandler would share one perfect night of illicit pleasure. The forbidden hours let them forget the tragedy that haunted their pasts-and the last names that made them enemies.

Until the night she didn’t show up.

Now Nicholas has an empire to run. He doesn’t have time for distractions and Livvy’s sudden reappearance in town is a major distraction. She’s the one woman he shouldn’t want…so why can’t he forget how right she feels in his bed?

Livvy didn’t come home for Nicholas, but fate seems determined to remind her of his presence–and their past. Although the passion between them might have once run hot and deep, not even love can overcome the scandal that divided their families.

Being together might be against all the rules…but being apart is impossible.
