Review The Man I Cant Have (Ward Duet, #1) Generated By Shanora Williams Formatted As Kindle
single one of these kisses are stolen, because I dont belong to him, ”
Another first for me this year, Ive never read one of Shanoras books before and again I have to ask myself how did I miss this talented author
The Man I Cant have is a book with many layers, but not the obvious ones.
You need to pay close attention to every detail,
In an ingenious way Shanora Williams hid hint after hint between the lines, they blended flawlessly into the story so that you didnt pay them any attention.
Only at the end she does make you see, Not only does she open your eyes to the hidden things happening in the story but you cant help make the comparison to real life, How many things do we not see because they seem “normal” How often do we miss hints that would give us a clue about what is going on
”This fire.
This forbidden power. The ache that only he can create and take away, ”
To be honest, I was quite wary of this book, Im not into cheating in romance books neither I am in real life but Im very well aware that this is a thing and you cant avoid being confronted with it or make it disappear just because you dont want things like that to happen.
Because it does. For very different reasons and each person involved needs to deal with it their own way, And each case is different,
This book shows it clear as a blue sky that not everything is black and white, Most things are something in between, a grey zone, Feeling lonely in a marriage/relationship is a real thing, So is staying in that marriage/relationship out of convenience, Everything about this books screams: Open your eyes, THIS is also reality,
”He is so perfect everything Ive always wanted in a man, Too bad he cant never be mine, ”
It took me some time to get used to the characters and their connection or lack thereof, It took me some time to connect to the characters, because each of them is complex in their own ways, Even though they might come across as simple, believe me: they are not!
The vibes, why Gabby lent towards Marcel are so relatable, it shocked me a little.
And even though I want to say that Gabby comes across as a woman thats not strong enough to stand up for herself and that she hides behind the fact that she is Kyles wife, she is everything but.
She is real, her struggle is real and in the end it totally broke me,
Marcel seems to have a six sense, I can't explain it, He's a by his past broken soul and his soul recognized Gabby's instantly, This connection is not only obvious but tangible, You feel his struggle to stay away from Gabby in every fiber of yours and you really do get why he's breaking, Why both are breaking, giving in,
”How can a man survive knowing that sad truth That he fell in love with a woman he cant even have”
With The Man I Can't Have, Shanora Williams delivers a story that challenges your fundamental principles.
This book is incredibly moving and leaves you hanging with a big bang cliffhanger,
”He isnt the man I cant have, Hes the man Ive always needed, ” So good!
I really liked it! Gabby and Marcel's chemistry was off the charts! They hit it off from the moment they meet, but there's a problem.
Gabby is married. Her husband, Kyle, works a lot out of state and in all honesty is a douche, Nobody likes Kyle and its a mystery why Gabby is married to him, I don't want to give too much of the plot away but just know that Kyle is not a nice guy, He may seem like he is but he's not, Marcel on the other hand, is my new book boyfriend, He's charming, hard working, sexy and a nice guy all around, Gabby is great too! I really liked her,
I know many people will shy away from this book because of her being married and cheating but you just have to go in with an open mind.
I promise you its worth it,
The book ends on a cliffhanger but the next one comes out in a little over a month, so the wait is not long.
I need to know how their story ends, I am rooting for them so much!

ARC provided for a voluntary honest review, Sonal I am betweenandon this book, I round it up tostars,
I always wanting to read a book that speak forbidden like this book, Marital Affair. The theme it self gives forbidden another meaning, This is my first book by Miss Williams, Overall I am not disappointed, After all something you can not have always more pleasurable,
The author covers the impact of unhappy marriage and the guilty aspect of having affair, Gabby seems to have it all, Rich husband, loving family, money, But in truth she does not have happiness, Her husband left her all the time, belittle her and never really pay attention to her, In fact her husband is tyrant and obsessive, Enter Marcel. He is landscape manager. He is dark and handsome, And oh so alluring. He has dark past but somehow he sees Gabby and connect with her, And their love affair begins,
I listen to this book via audio book, The female narrator done a very bad job mimicking male voice, So it turns me off a little bit, The story is also bit too long,
Despite of that, I still enjoy the story,

Love forbidden romance What about age gaps Shanora writes some of the best ones I ever read and she's got a new one just for you.
. .
Mr. Ward is something else. He's all man, a little broken at that, which just makes him all the more special and lovable to me,
I loved Gabby from the very beginning as well, I love her spirit and how passionate she is, She's a recently married woman who just moved to a new home, in a new state away from everyone she knows, She's brave and sweet and most of all lonely, Knowing no one and having her husband out of town most of time due to work, she spends a lot of time by herself in a big house.
So when she hires Mr, Ward to work on her backyard and they share this connection right from the getgo, she tries to develop this friendship with him, . . only that friendship slowly but surely turns into something more special, more meaninful, something that is just more, And Gabby slowly discovers that Marcel is the right guy for her, in every possible way, if only she wasn't already married, . . if only she had met Marcel before meeting Kyle,
Kyle seems like a nice man in the beginning until you start to notice little things here and there, first on your own and then when both Gabby or Marcel address them.
He is the picture perfect guy but you know he's hiding behind this mask and I am so curious to find out more about him because there is still so much we don't know in this book.
I have a lot of questions regarding him and his secrets,
I swear Shanora kept me on my toes, waiting for the pin to drop, I knew it was gonna end in a big cliffhanger so from the beginning I was thinking of crazy theories and I'm usually good at predicting things but not this time, this time Shanora got me good! I was not expecting that ending at all but it made a lot of sense.
The Man I Can't Have is a captivating forbidden romance that will reel you in from the get go, It's a slow burn and it's a beautiful story of a sudden deep friendship that both characters needed that turns into something much more special, love.
It is so sweet to see these two fall for each other no matter how wrong it is, But there is still much more to come, much more to learn and a little while to wait, I'll be here dreaming of Mr, Ward while I wait for The Man I Need,

“I dont just want right now.
I want you forever. ”
I know you should never judge a book by its cover but one look at The Man I Cant Have by Shanora Williams and I was done for.
Definite cover love with this one, The story inside this spectacular cover was just as amazing it was angsty, it was addictive, it was forbidden and oh so sexy, This is my first story ever by Shanora Williams and wow, what a story to
start with, I know she now has a fan for life.
I became fully immersed into the story from the start and I literally could not put it down until the final word was read,
Gabrielle Gabby is a newly married woman who is definitely unsure of herself, lonely and missing a certain something in her life, She married Kyle a few months earlier and perhaps she never should have married him in the first instance, He proposed to her in the front of the Empire State Building on New Years Eve in front of many onlookers just waiting for her to say the magical “YES.
” Your reason for marring someone should never be because you dont want to embarrass them in front of people, but it should be because you want to spend the rest of your life with them and you cant imagine living your life another day without them by your side.
Kyle was happy though he won his winning prize,
When Gabby hires Mr Marcel Ward to landscape her new home, she had no idea that perhaps everything she had been searching for her entire life, that spark that had been missing, would finally be discovered.
Marcel, who has been through a lot in his life and shrouded by guilt and remorse, is still a positively spectacular man who is sweet, kind and very charming.
His attraction towards Gabby is palpable, instantaneous and I just thrived on the angst and anticipation of these two finally giving into their powerful and intense longing for one another.
“But the more Im around him, the more I realize that my life may not ever be the same again,
Im starting to fall for this man a man I know I cant have, ”
Gabby and Marcel were ablaze with passion, lust and so much deepseated desire and yearning that I just could not get enough of.
I adore books that are littered with an abundance of angst and anticipation, where I am literally sitting on the edge of my seat, unsure of what to expect next.
Gabby and Marcel had such a profound and fierce attraction and the chemistry between the two was truly electrifying, The one thing I truly loved about their relationship was the slow burning nature and the comfort they found within each other as friends first before discovering there was so much more to divulge.
There was not one thing I did not enjoy about this read the writing was impeccable, the characters were well thought out and intriguing, the slow burning nature of the relationship plus the build up was written to perfection and the intense and powerful chemistry kept me captivated throughout.
Im never one to condone cheating, but I dont mind it in stories if its necessary to the plot and the development, I was rooting for Marcel all the way, I cant wait to see what happens in part two of the duet and I wait with baited breath, All fans of forbidden love stories should absolutely one click this as Im sure Marcel will own a piece of your heart too,
