Alisha Rai returns with the second novel in her sizzling Forbidden Hearts series! He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with his brother’s widow… Accused of a crime he didn't commit, Jackson Kane fled his home, his name, and his family. Ten years later, he’s come back to town: older, wiser, richer, tougher—and still helpless to turn away the one woman he could never stop loving, even after she married his brother. Sadia Ahmed can’t deal with the feelings her mysterious former brother-in-law stirs, but she also can’t turn down his offer of help with the cafe she’s inherited. While he heats up her kitchen, she slowly discovers that the boy she adored has grown into a man she’s simply unable to resist. An affair is unthinkable, but their desire is undeniable. As secrets and lies are stripped away, Sadia and Jackson must decide if they’re strong enough to face the past...and step into a future together.

(Note: tagged LGBT because the heroine is bi, but this is M/F romance.) This is one of my favorite contemporaries, maybe ever? Loved the heroine and her family - all the sisters were distinctive and I loved the scenes with them. Can we get a series about the twins, please? I didn't connect as much with the hero, which may be partly by design, as he's a strong silent type, but the story and all the characters around him were so vivid it didn't feel out of place, especially since a major part of the romance is his reaching out and connecting with loved ones again. I wouldn't read this until I'd read [b:Hate to Want You 29422692 Hate to Want You (Forbidden Hearts, #1) Alisha Rai https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1479754001s/29422692.jpg 49683433], though, since this has some continuing backstory and plot threads that started in that book (which is also great, so no hardship there). The only minor criticism is the introduction/reintroduction of the couple for the next book is a little awkward, just at the end. Overall, though, this was SO GOOD and Alisha Rai is one of my favorites for sure.
Oh this was very, very good. Can also 100% guarantee I was blushing while listening to this one. Loved the chemistry between Jackson and Sadiya. I'm really glad I decided to continue this series, because I do think this one is slightly better than the first– but it also might be that I prefer the tropes here.
Looking forward to reading the next!
