Synopsis
He’ll protect his best friend’s baby sister from anything…other than himself.

Rhyland


Dylan Casablancas is a forbidden fruit,
Undeniably delicious, but one bite just might kill you.
She’s my best friend’s baby sister, a single mom, and a royal pain in the ass.
When Little Miss Baggage moves downstairs to house-sit her brother’s Manhattan apartment, my potential business partner mistakes us as a couple.
He wants a family guy.
I want access to his billions.
And Dylan?
She needs a big, burly guy to scare off her loser ex.
Pretending to be engaged to the feisty girl next door gets messy when I take a bite of the illicit apple.
What can I say? I’m an instant gratification kind of guy.
We made a deal to walk out of each other’s lives once my contract is signed.
The only problem?
She might take my heart with her when she leaves.

Dylan

Rhyland Coltridge is out of the question.
Unless the answer is: “Who’s the biggest man-whore you’ve ever met?”
Hedonistic. Wild card. Utterly corrupt.
And those are just the traits the jerk prides himself on.
My life is too messy for a boyfriend. Even if it wasn’t, Rhyland would be the last man I’d consider.
He is supposed to be my ticket out of this nightmare.
But he’s fast becoming my wildest, most dangerous dream.

My Review

'𝐖I𝐋D𝐄S𝐓 𝐃R𝐄A𝐌S'Is the second full length enemies to lovers romance book within the (Forbidden Love) series by author L.J. Shen.

I was going to jump into this one tonight in bed, but alas, crappy weather, my comfy chair and one chapter after another and the rest is history as I devoured this.

In the beginning I wasn’t that sure about Ryland, a man whore womaniser with a red flag checkered past, so I was in two minds about his character but his past certainly didn’t define who he became. Chapter after chapter he blew my inhibitions away and as we delved through all the layers which made the man, I grew to love him. My hat goes off to Leah for bringing this man to life. From making me dislike him to loving him and that showcases her penmanship skills.

He was pretty adamant in the beginning that he didn’t like kids, but Dylan’s daughter Gravity made him eat his words, he became a marshmallow of a man around her and it was so precious to read, these two were meant to be in each others lives in whatever capacity.

Dylan was a hot mess, raising her daughter by herself from scratch, working in a dead end job in a coffee shop until her brother came to the rescue and offered his place in New York on a silver platter.

These two were in and out of each others lives as young as six years old, which in turn grew into a small town crush on her brothers best friend, to outright enemies. Now living in the same apartment block was bound to make things interesting, and interesting it gets, he needs her help with nabbing a contract and standing in as his fake fiance, I had my doubts with this mutual arrangement because these two couldn't help cutting each other down when in each others orbit, the too and fro was like watching a tennis match, but in her times of need and no-one else she was able to lean on, Ryland became her pillar of strength.

The chemistry sizzled between these two, when the lines between hate and more became blurred was chefs kiss.
