Every once in awhile a story comes along. A story that grips you by the guts, smashes your heart and soul to bits and blows your mind in such a way, you cannot even comprehend what just happened. For me, that story is The Unrequited by the crazy and amazingly talented Saffron A. Kent.

From the moment I opened my kindle, I could NOT put this story down. I was held captive from start to finish. To be honest, I'm STILL living and breathing this story. It's THAT amazing.

I fell in love with Layla INSTANTLY. This lady with her crazy personality and quirky ways made me smile so big, I just adore her. And Thomas. He's the EPITOME of an alpha. And a dirty talker. God do I love him hard. So hard. Put these two together and the sparks flew. The push and pull. The forbidden. The banter. I seriously could. Not. Get. Enough. God I wanted these two to be together so bad. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what was going to happen.

This heartbreaking forbidden love story had me aching in ways I didn't even imagine were possible. God. I felt for Layla SO MUCH. But I also felt for Thomas. This double forbidden romance had me clutching my chest so many times, I was breathless. I felt every single damn emotion both of these characters experienced. Love, hate and heart break. I didn't know if I'd survive it! But my gosh, this love journey was SO worth the PAIN. It hurt so, so good. I will never forget it.

Speaking of breathless.... This book was so HOT I needed some time to myself!!! The sexy scenes were unlike anything I've read. Mr. Abrams turned me into a hot puddle of LUST!!! RAWR!! He's like an animal in bed. Or on the desk. Anywhere really. And the dirty talk is out of this world HOT. I had hearts in my eyes and fire in my loins for this devastatingly beautiful man. Even when he was a dick. *moans*

If you want to read a forbidden romance that will push the boundaries of your sanity, then you NEED to read The Unrequited. Thomas and Layla's love story's poetically written style is fresh, original and so stunning you won't believe what you are reading. It's steamy, angsty and heart achingly forbidden. The Unrequited isn't just a double forbidden romance. It's an experience. It's at the top of my MUST READS of the year! Go on, make dirty poetry with Thomas. Your life will never be the same.

The Unrequited Saffron A Kent 9781548048334 Books Reviews

I don't know how to write this review. I've tried to sketch out a few outlines but it's not helping, so I'm just going to talk. I don't do plot-recap reviews anyway--I prefer to talk about feelings and craft and words n' stuff, so I'm going to do that and try not to get too rambly.

So this is a taboo, student-teacher, forbidden love read, but those are tag words only. It's so much more than the sum of its parts, and that's because THE WRITING. This book is alive.. It's electric. The words jump off the page and sink claws into your skin. The author, at the end, laments that she's not poet enough to write the poems of her hero, Thomas.

I beg to differ.

This entire book is a poem if you go by my preferred definition, which is a string of words meant to evoke. That's all this book does. The prose...Good lord, it's like a delicate spider web strung between the plot points, lacing them together so that even while Thomas is dirty-talking his way into Layla, you still feel it. The turns of phrase are BRILLIANT in their subtlety. Not show-offy. They don't call attention to themselves; they just are. And the web they weave is a master class in show-don't-tell. But the time you hit chapter four you realize you know everything you need to know about Layla's backstory and her twisted psyche without having read paragraph after paragraph of inner-monologues or exposition. You're drawn in, wrapped up in the prose, and watching the plot unfold.

And the plot...It's like the world's most sexy, enchanting, messed-up train wreck you can't tear your eyes from. I started it a few nights ago, and then did almost nothing else for the rest of the next day. (I fed the kids=win). The blurb says this is a taboo/student-teacher romance, and that's true but I'd also say it's a coming-of-age story. The character growth, even for the older Thomas, is slow, authentic, and progresses organically, so that by the time you reach the end, you're left belly-full and satisfied. And while both characters undertake the growth, it is Layla who is the star of this show.

Layla, Layla, Layla...How do I love thee? Yes, she's messed up, but somehow her brand of crazy--despite some truly despicable backstory behavior--is completely endearing. I LOVED how impulsive she was. Yes, she was immature but she's late teens/early 20's? The author let her be young. She was not a paragon of maturity but that didn't mean she couldn't also be full of very adult needs, sexual and otherwise. That felt authentic to me. She was unabashed, unflinching in her desire for Thomas and even that was an organic progression. Layla, for all her crazy, still felt real. She made friends, she invited people into her life; she even played matchmaker. She wasn't closed off or reclusive. She lived out in the world and lived with her crazy inside and it was genius.

But even her adoration with Thomas didn't start out as insta-love or even insta-lust. It was insta-curiosity and it progressed along with self-awareness of her situation and her neediness. And she was unapologetic. I literally struggle with how to express the depth of this character and can only default to READ THIS so that you can understand the glory that is this Twizzler-eating, p0rn-watching, Lana del Rey-lover of purple. Thomas was compelling and the author navigated his own progression expertly, but Layla just stole the damn show.

And the sexy times????

"In this moment, my hands mold him. I'm the sculptor who creates him."

Holy god. You see and feel and hear everything. I've never read anything so visceral and yet so unburdened with extra words. Each sex scene is bursting at the seams with sensation and description while being completely graphic and HOT at the same time. It's like watching x-rated movies as if directed by Ang Lee.

"My heart is lonely today..."

Layla's heart is a third character in this book. Not an organ, as she says in the beginning, introducing it first, but an animal. It sometimes "talks" to her. "We want to follow him, my heart whines..." and I imagine her heart as a Gollum heart, desperate in its neediness and want. "We wants him, precious..." I loved it. Not too much to be overdone, but just right. Another layer to draw you deeper into this character who is aware, on some level, that her unrequited need for love is so strong, it's almost a separate entity.

This might seem like a lot of talk about smaller details in this book but it's the small details that add up to make the whole. I cannot stress enough that the writing in this book is exceptional and I could probably spend another 1000 words on it. My bottom line is that this is something special--this author is something special.

The Unrequited is not a book to be missed.
10000 stars!!!

Saffron sucked me into her story. She dug her claws into me, into my heart, my soul, and didn't let go. Still hasn't.

I forgot I was reading, and just started living in Thomas and Layla's world.

These two characters are...everything. They're tortured. They're selfish. They're imperfectly perfect. And I couldn't get enough of them.

The Unrequited is forbidden romance at its finest. It's the kind of story that makes your heart race, your eyes bulge out of your head, your stomach drop, your panties wet, your heart break...and you just want more.

I felt everything in this book. I laughed, lusted, agonized, cried & hoped.

I'm amazed at Saffron's talent! Her writing is magic. MAGIC!! It's powerful & breathtaking. It will make you want to abandon real life and just KEEP READING.

Here are some of my favorite lines
"Because I’m a girl who’s not supposed to be the love of someone’s life, not with my selfishness. I was meant to live in the shadows and secrets. I can be Thomas’ secret, for a little while, at least—until I absorb all of his pain and set him free."

"I'm ravenous for Layla. I'm ravenous for the power she gives me. I want to abuse that power, unleash it, use it against her. I want to destroy her. I want to destroy her like I'm destroyed in this moment."

“God...what are we doing?” I pant into his shirt.
“The wrongest thing we’ve ever done,” he says, repeating my words.

"You bring them back...my words."

Bottom line ONE CLICK NOW!
