THE HUSBAND AND THE BABYSITTER

FORBIDDEN LOVE SERIES, BOOK 1

“When the picture-perfect wife drove him toward the woman who saw his soul.”

It started with a scroll and a sigh.
While his wife posted another perfect picture for her followers, Elijah King sat in silence wondering when their marriage became a brand instead of a bond.
To the world, Elijah was the man—respected businessman, community hero, the brother buying back downtown Gastonia with Black dollars and purpose.
To his wife Taryn, he was just another prop in her highlight reel.
Then came Imani—a 21-year-old business student on summer break, hired to watch their five-year-old son. She wasn’t polished, she wasn’t pretending—she was real. Driven, humble, and unafraid to tell Elijah the truth about himself.
What began as late-night talks turned into something neither of them could walk away from. When the secret love that healed his soul threatens to destroy his empire, Elijah must decide: protect his image or fight for his heart.
Because sometimes the realest love starts with a mistake.

I could not get in to this story. Every other line was an analogy, metaphor, simile, or something like that. It was just so overdone throughout the story. To me , that distracts from the storyline. Then the way the 5yo talked in this story was way too far fetched. I know some kids are very smart, but this was ridiculous and unbelievable.
