Book review: FORBIDDEN KING, by Laura Pavlov

Magnolia Falls #3

Kingston & Saylor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brother’s best friend is not my favorite trope but in this author’s hands it was a fantastic story. It was made better because it’s also a small town trope, which I love, and it involves this group of friends who have declared themselves as brothers and carry the same tattoo that proclaims them as family. I love that they’re ride or die for each other, including adorable little Cutler, a.k.a “Beefcake”.

As is usual in this trope, King gets involved with Saylor, Hayes’ little sister. Initially, King was reluctant: he feared hurting his best friend Hayes, and feared he didn’t know how to have a long-lasting relationship and would ruin things. So of course, Saylor teaches him!


The book is full of emotions and some angst, super cute moments with Cutler who has charmed all the aunties and is starting out in baseball . I loved the scenes during games when the crew would cheer like loons, even when Cutler missed. 


We get a treat as we see love evolve between King and Saylor. They already loved each other, had a special relation because of their past, but we get to see as it deepens and changes.


What makes this book so charming is the feeling of family and support that these guys give each other, and now their women, as they join the group, also offer support and friendship to the new girlfriends. It’s especially nice to see a little boy, growing up surrounded by so much love. No wonder he’s so self-assured!


The book is a delight to read, the sexy times are yummy, the text conversation between the guys are hysterically funny, and the love of all kinds, romantic, family and friends make this story truly enchanting.
