Enzo by K. Webster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



He kisses me like he has the power to chase away my demons and my sadness. I kiss him back like I’m holding him to it.

I have to say that I just I LOVE K. Webster. I have read almost all her TABOO Series except for the ones that I know are out of my wheelhouse (Dane, Glue, and Lawn Boys - I am sure they are just as excellent as all her other writing, but just not my cup of tea.)

Even as great as this series is though, Enzo seemed to stand out to me a particularly good. It was more heart-warming and emotional, has gut-wrenching sadness and put-a-smile-on-your-face happiness, and of course, sex scenes that burn up the pages. I loved that this was such an emotional journey.

When we first meet her Jenna is an almost 18 year old foster kid who has been shuffled from home to home for her entire childhood. She has had mostly bad experiences in the homes she has stayed in and has dealt with a lot of things that a 17 year old girl should never have had to. When she is 16, she meets Cora in a foster home she has been placed in. Cora is 6 months old and Jenna takes on responsibility for her when she sees her current "mother" is incapable and unwilling to care for the colicky 6 month old. From that point forward her and Cora have moved around together and Jenna becomes a surrogate mother to the little "banshee baby".
When she is nearing her 18th birthday she is given a handsome new social worker in Enzo. He was himself a foster kid who had the good fortune to be adopted by a loving family at the age of 9. At first, their relationship is one of a social worker to their charge. He moves her to a new home when reports of abuse surface in the current situation. As time goes on he starts to let go of some of his professional distance and care for Jenna more than he should. Their relationship evolves and becomes something much more.
All you want is for all these characters to find peace and become that happy family they deserve to be. It was my favorite so far out of this series!
