The Forbidden Equation

Love Equations, Book standalone

By: J.R. Gray

Narrated by: Alexander Amado

My father’s the president and my brother’s the golden boy, which leaves me the black sheep; the son who never wanted to be here at all.

The white house is my gilded cage, and the secret service are my prison guards. I'm nearly twenty and nothing about my life is normal.

The only thing giving me life and any motivation to get out of bed is the way he looks at me. The stolen glances across the West Wing. Heated gazes in the private dining room.

He's my father's best friend, which isn't even the worst part, he's also the vice president. Utterly off limits and I can't bring myself to care. Can't bring myself to stop encouraging his flirting, dreaming, and hoping he won't be able to resist me forever.

So good

I didn’t think I would like it as much as the first 2 books in the series but omg so good!! I need more books like now!!

Really a great book

This was a fun romance to read but it also had statements to make. I loved the struggles Matt had with his very public life and his need for a private one and the well written dialogues about depression

SHOCKED me too many times to count! (in the best way)

I absolutely sped through this book in a few days because I was hooked on every chapter! The author kept us engaged and had me at the edge of my seat and gasping out loud with the characters’ bold and risky moves! While their large age gap was initially hard for me to adjust to, the author did great in having the characters acknowledge the public perception and reality of it while also displaying their deep connection that shows love transcends age! I appreciated the depiction of depression and how Liam was affected by his father’s actions as it emphasized a person’s need for genuine care and connection. Ultimately, I wish the book was longer but thats because I love it, and this series and narrator is 100% one of my all time favorites!!

Loved it

This was the best of the three books. I felt a lot more details and slow building of the romance made it explode. Very good book. This one will be in my top favorites. This narrator is awesome. He’s fantastic. It’s about time new voices were coming out. I’ve grown very tired of the same top 5-8 narrators that ruin books for me. Alexander Amado was FANTASTIC. I hope he becomes a regular voice in a lot of lgbtq books. I could listen to him all day…. Oops I have. Good job on this book guys. So worth the money.

Great story

Loved their dynamic. Only complaint was lack of ending between Liam and his father. Wish there was more between him and his brother as well.
