I enjoyed this most recent addition to the Forbidden on Fruit Street series about Wyatt, the neighbor and landscaper we met in book two that I hoped would get his own book next. We learn more about the daughter mentioned before, and that he's only been in her life since she was 12 because her mom didn't tell him. Now an adult, his daughter is moving from New York to San Francisco for a job, leaving her best friend without somewhere to live, so she asks Wyatt to let her stay. What she doesn't realize is that Wyatt and Poppy are both attracted to each other. They fight it because of the 17 year age difference and the best friend situation, but as they spend more time together, especially after he meets her abusive ex and wants to protect her, feelings grow and they eventually give in. This one took the longest of the three for me to get behind the forbidden aspect while reading, but it was because of how conflicted the characters were, so I think that points to good storytelling. It felt a little like they went from not quite zero to one hundred once they finally admitted their feelings, but I could see how they could happen after the time they spent together while denying themselves. The best part is how considerate and caring and encouraging they are to one another about making their dreams come true and doing something that they love. Though my fave story is still Daisy and Weston's (so fun to see them and Violet and Kyle from book one again), I do think that these two are my fave characters (hot tattooed guy who loves to garden and is super protective, and a redhead who loves to cook and has a fierce side once she lets herself feel it? Sign me up!). And as usual for a Jen Morris book, the spice was spicing. This time I'm not sure if there was someone set up to be the next book and I missed it or if this is meant to be the last in the series. Regardless, it was an enjoyable read so thank you to the author for the arc! Release date: Mar 4.
