North Shore Titans Hockey Book 4: Forbidden Titan by EV Olsen

 

North Shore Titans Book 4

"The devil wears many faces. Today, he wore the one I've been running from for five years."

Five years spent running, reinventing myself at every turn, until my stepbrother finally caught up to me.

Zach Knight is cold, dangerous, and determined to make me pay for almost destroying his hockey career. But beneath that icy exterior burns something far more intense than revenge.

Now I'm back home, trying to build a future while dealing with the fierce attraction between us. Every touch, every heated glance draws me deeper into dangerous territory.

My stepbrother may be broken in ways I'm only beginning to understand, but so am I. His darkness calls to mine, and when he claims me as his, I can't resist falling.

They say the opposite of hate is love, but with Zach Knight, the line between the two threatens to consume us both.

Falling for the forbidden titan was never part of the plan.

But neither was becoming his salvation.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Zach and Merci have a…complicated history. One of pain and blood and brokenness. Five years ago, Merci ran. Ran from his mother and new stepdad. And his new stepbrother. After what had happened… he felt like it was better to just leave. Little did he know that Zach has been searching for him ever since. And now that he found him? Well things get complicated. Zach believes that he wanted to find Merci for revenge after what happened, but even though he may have had a few chances to act on it, he didn’t. And now he can’t, but truthfully, he doesn’t think he could have. He may have some issues he has been dealing with for a long time, but even he can sense that there is something about Merci that gets to him. One that turns into much more than hate. Merci never thought coming home would lead to him and Zach acting on the attraction between them. It’s fine they finally talked. Cleared the air. Because they both had secrets from one another and if they had opened up even just a little bit, things could have been different for them. But they won’t make that mistake this time. Great story with Zach and Merci. Both have been through so much and they deserved some happiness. Especially with each other after they finally shared some important things. It made their story so much better as they opened up and fought hard for one another. I’ve been speeding through this series and I have one more to go! Can’t wait to see what happens next.
