Summary
The trouble with him is he never was supposed to belong to me…
Everyone assumes I have the perfect life。 And why not？ I’m Ava Edwards—daughter of billionaire mogul Lex Edwards。
I had everyone fooled until New Year’s Eve when my life fell apart。
Then he walked into the same bar looking just as devastatingly handsome as I remembered him。
A long-lost friend who I considered family—once upon a time。
But comfort led to more， and we made a mistake that changed both our lives forever。
In my head， I only see the look on my dad's face when I tell him。
Chances are the news will destroy my family。
And it’s all because of one forbidden night…

Sweet storyThis is a sweet story。 Austin and Ava have one drunken night together， and their fate is sealed。 It just takes them a little while to figure it out。 My only complaint is that there are lots of grammar and punctuation mistakes。 The book is a very enjoyable read。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion:This book is everything and more！ Kat has way with words and this book did not disappoint。 I loved Ava’s personality and tenacity for owning her shit and being successful。 She is so independent that I think made it harder for her to get over the mental anguish of her and Austin’s situation。 I do wish Amelia and Will had more in the story。 Millie and Will are exactly the next generation Charlie and Lex and I LOVE that。 Disclaimer: this I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion:This book is everything and more！ Kat has way with words and this book did not disappoint。 I loved Ava’s personality and tenacity for owning her shit and being successful。 She is so independent that I think made it harder for her to get over the mental anguish of her and Austin’s situation。 I do wish Amelia and Will had more in the story。 Millie and Will are exactly the next generation Charlie and Lex and I LOVE that。 Disclaimer: this book talks about miscarriage and infertility。 I appreciate Kat talking about this and doing so in a gently and affirming way。 。。。more

This is the 3rd book following Lex and Charlie’s grown children - now there are just some authors that can pull off keeping a series going by skipping forward to the children of your favorite characters。 Kat T。 Masen is a master at this！ I loved Lex and Charlie and everyone that followed in the Dark Love series。 Then the Forbidden Love series started with Amelia and now we get to meet Ava。 Oh my I love these books just as hard as their parents！！ I still couldn’t stop reading and devoured This st This is the 3rd book following Lex and Charlie’s grown children - now there are just some authors that can pull off keeping a series going by skipping forward to the children of your favorite characters。 Kat T。 Masen is a master at this！ I loved Lex and Charlie and everyone that followed in the Dark Love series。 Then the Forbidden Love series started with Amelia and now we get to meet Ava。 Oh my I love these books just as hard as their parents！！ I still couldn’t stop reading and devoured This story is one night！I didn’t know what to expect with Ava。 From the prologue to the end the story is wonderful， believable， sweet， emotional， all of the emotions！！ What made this story even better？！ All the older characters being woven in because the Edwards family （this includes Eric because he IS family） is just that - a family。 I really appreciate when a follow on series includes the original characters because it feels like a true smooth continuation instead of just trying to write another story。 Definitely read Dark Loves 6 books first then the first 2 Forbidden Love books， this COULD be read without the others， but the story is so rich when you know all of the background and feelings involved！ Cannot wait for the next book Kat T Masen！！ So grateful to have the opportunity to read an ARC of this book， but chose to write a review on my own as everyone should know how wonderful her books are to read！ 。。。more

I couldn’t wait to read Ava’s story as I just needed to know who her baby daddy is。 Well I got my first inkling not too long into the story， but I was noooo it just couldn’t be！！ Then the story shifted a bit and a potential new option was introduced and I was like yep I am happy with this new person。 But of course Kat likes to torture her readers and the person I didn’t really want it to be ended up being the father！！ So I must admit it took me a long， long time for me to be ok with this person。 I couldn’t wait to read Ava’s story as I just needed to know who her baby daddy is。 Well I got my first inkling not too long into the story， but I was noooo it just couldn’t be！！ Then the story shifted a bit and a potential new option was introduced and I was like yep I am happy with this new person。 But of course Kat likes to torture her readers and the person I didn’t really want it to be ended up being the father！！ So I must admit it took me a long， long time for me to be ok with this person。 But I have to give credit where it’s due， because Kat couldn’t have written a better man for Ava。 It was also great catching up with the Edwards family and the reveal of the next book coming - I cannot wait to get my hands on it。I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book。 。。。more

I want to go into this story leaving the twists as twists， so this recap may be vague。 Ava finds herself lost and vulnerable at the beginning of this book and like many people do finds comfort in the arms of someone else on new years eve。 This one night stand doesn't stay a one night stand though when she she discovers four months later they created a baby。 Not only is she pregnant but the father of the baby is a bit of a shocker that will cause havoc in Ava's life once that secret is revealed。 I want to go into this story leaving the twists as twists， so this recap may be vague。 Ava finds herself lost and vulnerable at the beginning of this book and like many people do finds comfort in the arms of someone else on new years eve。 This one night stand doesn't stay a one night stand though when she she discovers four months later they created a baby。 Not only is she pregnant but the father of the baby is a bit of a shocker that will cause havoc in Ava's life once that secret is revealed。 I like Ava and her hero， I thought they were a match that fit together well。 Though they had some rocky starts a few times they worked well together and had good chemistry。 This book did have angst maybe in a different way than the other two books in the series。 I will say I think I love Millie and Will so much， I found myself having a harder time attaching to these characters with the same ferocity。 Regardless I still enjoyed this book and find this series to be highly entertaining 。。。more

Ava Edward is her father’s daughter。 The Apple does not fall far from the tree。 They have a very strong bond。 Just like her dad， she’s building an empire。 After an situation leaves her feeling dejected she makes an unfortunate error in judgment。 My heart took an absolute battering。 My emotions went flying everywhere。 My fave moment， the birth。 I cried all the tears。 This story will take you on an absolute roller coaster。
