We were a tinderbox, and every touch and look sparked an uncontrollable flame.
Honestly, I don’t even know what I’m allowed to say about this book other than it’s a forbidden age gap romance that’s so emotionally charged that it put me through the wringer and had me up early into the morning reading to see what would happen. Eve, the preacher’s freshly graduated “rebel” middle daughter and Kyle, the new next door neighbor, who is a single dad and the high school math teacher just can’t seem to stay away from each other even though they know they probably should. I loved their story because of course it’s forbidden and angsty, but it also goes deeper than their romance in ways that will make you care for these characters.
Anyway. If you enjoy forbidden age gap romance that will hit all the emotional checkpoints, while still being funny, steamy, and relatable, then The Apple Tree is the perfect read for you!
