I’m actually going to give this book 3.5 stars. I love Ava’s books but for some reason this book was hard for me to follow along. The whole time I kept wondering what River’s back story was with Grayson. She met him for the first time when she was 12 and her mother dumped her at her unknown to her father’s doorstep with no explanation. So River has spent her life thinking that her mother is flighty and unreliable while her Dad is too busy to care for her so he hires a Nanny for her whom he eventually marries. Grayson meets River again after not seeing her since she was 12 and she knows who he is while he is blind to who she is and flirts with him. He is extremely attracted to her and thinks she would be a great diversion on his business trip until he finds out she’s his friends daughter. I was just sort of lost until the end of the book when all the puzzle pieces get answered and put together. I would have preferred there to be more backstory at the beginning so the rest of the book had a better flow. I will still read anything Ava puta out. Grayson just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Beautiful age gap romance!
River and Grayson are absolute fire! I can’t wait to dive in to the rest of the Pierce family now...

I enjoyed the premise of this. I should have ate it up. But the heroine in this was so needy and self centred it made me almost DNF this. Considering everything that was happening around River, her father's business going under, a family member, a love interest she'd fancied for years..you'd think she'd be at least a little happy..but nope.
Whew!! Ms. Harrison writes the steamiest stories! And I flove it!
Entice is Grayson and River's story. We met Grayson briefly in Deceit, but don't worry you can pick up this story as a stand alone!
Now I'll admit that usually age gap romances are not my thing, I just don't seem to understand them. But Ms. Harrison changed my thinking with this, she made me see what was important with River and Grayson's relationship. That is a true testament to the writing talent that Ms. Harrison has.
River has had a crazy, eclectic upbringing. She has some big issues and add that to her age and and she becomes believable. I could totally empathize and sympathize with her abandonment issues. I have them myself. Thank you Ms. Harrison for writing River honestly and eloquently.
Oh Grayson, heavy is his issues that weighs him down. He believes he is doing the write thing, set in his ways until he meets River and like the body of water she is named for, she flows around him and through him and changes him in beautiful ways.
Now this wouldn't be a Ava Harrison book with out some twists and surprises!! And you will be gasping when you read them! I did and kept me hooked until the very end!
Thank you for sharing this story with us, I cannot wait to read more!! (Maybe Jaxon?!? Hint, hint....)

5 FORBIDDEN CROWNS
I absolutely love Grayson and River. These two are more than just a lust filled forbidden nature, there is a real, authentic relationship that exemplifies everything we love in a good romance.
Grayson is the stoic and often abrasive hero. As the story progresses readers understand the motivation behind closing himself off to others. River is the younger, free spirited heroine who has her own insecurities. These two, however are kismet, and I love who they become together.
What makes me love this story and this couple so much is that readers get a real, authentic love. It never ever is simply about lust for them. The plot is fantastically paced and lends to the real-ness behind their relationship. Everything from the plot to he resolution is perfect, and I’m so very excited for the next brother.
The narrators were also fantastic. I love listening to Grayson and his dirty talk, the declarations of love, and River’s narrator was great as well. I always enjoy Ava’s audiobooks.
This standalone is without a doubt a must read. Steamy, romantic, and heartwarming, I loved every single word.

This was a first read and audio by author Ava Harrison. When I saw this cover (FLOVE) and read the blurb, I knew I had to check this forbidden story out. I was intrigued by Ava's writing. The story flowed very well. Some things were a bit unexpected, but at times I have to say River did get annoying for me at times lol. The build up between Grayson and River was slow, but it was worth it. Side characters added depth to the plot. Overall I enjoyed this read. I look forward to Ava's other work.
Sebastian York and Virginia Rose were perfect narrators for these characters.
