GRR Reviews Forbidden: Our Secret Love by Elise Quinn Larson

Elise is 21, wanted to be a lawyer, and has a boyfriend. But when the boyfriend, college sports star, forced her to have sex, it was her cousin Trey that helped her heal. Elise eventually went to the authorities, only to be told there was not enough evidence to prosecute. Furthermore, her law school application was denied because the school receives a grant from her ex's father's law firm. Again, Trey was there to help her, and they fell in love. But as first cousins, they are not supposed to marry... But they planned for that with genetic testing, which exposed a family secret that would devastate them...

The problem is not with the... uh... let's just call it "unconventional" relationship between Elise and Trey, but Elise and Trey's back and forth, which doesn't really escalate, but more like "whiplash". One talk with her parents and she's ready to call it all off despite promising forever with him the night before would be one example. And the bad guys never got any karma, which is annoying. It's not the subject matter that's the problem, but the execution. 2.5/5
