Forbidden (The Wrong Alpha, #5)
Alessandra Hazard
Forced to marry an alpha three times his age after his first heat, Lucien no longer believes in happily ever after. Bound by a marriage of convenience to a distant husband who loves his first spouse, Lucien doesn't expect to ever know true love or attraction. But Aksel changes everything. Aksel Cleghorn, his husband's alpha son. Aksel is the only person in the world who makes Lucien feel like he belongs. Over the years, the connection between them grows into something more. Something they are not supposed to feel for each other. Something neither of them can control or resist. It's wrong on so many levels. They have to stop. But can they? Please note: this book is set on an alien planet similar to contemporary Earth, and the characters don't have human biology [alpha/omega mating cycles, shapeshifter sex, a male with breasts, male lactation, scenting, knotting]. The book contains non-explicit references to past sexual assault and mpreg, codependency, depression, and hurt/comfort—and happily ever after, against all odds.

So I've seen people say this is AH's most romantic book yet and just....did I read a different book or something? This is a book that has:
- the characters meet because one of them was g*ng r*ped at 14 by 12 soldiers
- the 14 year old then becomes the stepdad of the 4 year old??
- stepdad then helps raise the kid and also breastfeeds him when the younger one is 17 because he's ill???
- have a secret affair when they're both adults
- secret affair is broken off by older mmc basically saying that he's disgusted by the younger mc and he's no better than a rapist?? like how is that romantic and how do you even come back from it
- any character that isn't either mc is a plot device and that's it
idk this just did not work for me
I guess they had sexual chemistry but I did not see the romantic chemistry at all. All the time jumps and the little amount of time we had with them just meant the relationship and their story felt a little flat. This is genuinely one of my least fave AH books but I don't doubt there'll be people out there who love it because it's 'taboo' or a 'dark romance'.
