Crossing The Line-Review

 Crossing The Line by Zoey Locke and Z.L. Arkadie is now live!

BLURB:

A romance between them is strictly forbidden. Neither was willing to cross the line—until now.

He calls me PG, and my heart skips a beat.

Nobody calls me that but Hercules Lord, a man I've had a crush on since high school.

He and I could never be together, though. A romance between us is strictly forbidden. The Lords are old money, and my family, the Groves, is new money—and the Groves and the Lords don't mix. The hate between our families runs deep. Deep enough to create an invisible line in the sand that neither of us ever dared to cross.

But that's never stopped us from staring at each other from across a crowded room. And we've always been cordial. Then there was that night seven years ago. I bet Hercules doesn't know that he's my first.

Yet here we are again, gazing into each other's eyes.

Tonight feels different.

We've grown up.

Our desire for each other wants to defy our restraint.

But truly, really... What will happen if we cross the line?


THE LORDS OF MANHATTAN Billionaire Romance series... If only the Capulets and Montagues had gotten their happy ending. Meet the Lords and Groves–two warring families. Only their stories don't end in tragedy. Forbidden lovers, soul mates, fake engagements, and enemies to lovers are the unputdownable tropes of this series.

This book is a standalone that ends with an HEA.

My Review:
My Rating: 2 Stars

The Groves and the Lords have been locked in a feud for many years, but Paisley and Hercules became secret friends in High School and then when they were in college had one night together. Now 7 years later they are thrown in the same room and there is still the spark that threatens to consume them. If they act on it will everything be okay or will it burn the world they know to pieces?

This was the first time I have read this author and honestly this book wasn't for me. I thought it was just okay. What I did like was the idea of the story and some of the side characters. I liked how the author made it clear where she was going to start in the next story and the idea of the next pair that will probably get together. However, I didn't fall in love with the characters or their story, but just read it. It never made me fall into the book and get lost. I felt at times the writing was too much telling and not letting the story just unfold naturally. There were jumps in time that seemed out of place instead of just rolling together. I never felt the love between them, but more the lust. I like sexy books, but this one seemed to focus more on the sexy and not the intamcy and build up to falling in love and risking everything for the one you love. I thought Paisley and Hercules both seemed very immature. 

I will say this and I do say this with every book that isn't for me. Not everyone is going to love the same book. If you are thinking about reading this story then look at the other reviews and see if it fits into something that you might enjoy. This book wasn't for me, but it might be right for you.
