"A solid interesting relationship drama"
Though he has not been in Toledo, Ohio in well over a
year, Leah Dubois Burger has not forgotten J. T. West.
She gave up her life as the happily bored spouse of Dan
for a fling with J.T. who left her with the baggage of
divorce and nothing to show for it except memories, good,
bad and ugly. Leah knows her eleven years old daughter
Sami still does not understand why daddy is not living
with them. Though she wonders if her ex-spouse would take
her back, she knows she would be doing him a disservice as
she only wants J.T. to touch her even though the rat left
without a word. J.T. regrets what he did to Leah, the woman he loves. He
dreams of her everyday. Though he knows he must let her
get on with her life, J.T. needs to see her again though
he has nothing he can provide beyond the moment for he is
a man with no future as befitting someone on the run. J.T. is an interesting lost soul who readers will feel for
and hope for the best. Sami and Dan are nice support
characters who deserve better than what Leah does to
them. On the other hand Leah's behavior makes her very
unsympathetic though quite realistic as readers will
dislike what she does to Dan and Sami. Still fans will
hope Dan finds happiness and J.T. can straighten out his
life and take Leah as his wife. FORBIDDEN is a solid
interesting relationship drama, just not quite as terrific
as Team Carrington tales usually are. Harriet Klausner

SummaryBook I in award-winning author, Tori Carrington's
Sleeping With Secrets mini-series, demonstrates that
sometimes the greatest sin of all is in not following your
heart...
Leah Dubois can't believe it when J.T. West comes rolling
back into town on his Harley. During their torrid love
affair over a year ago, he'd done things to her that no
other man ever had before...or ever would again. Only when
she left her husband for him, J.T. disappeared without a
word. But she'd never stopped craving his touch...
J.T. knows he has nothing to offer Leah, but he can't stay
away. His need for her is beyond control, beyond reason.
He has to have her for as long as she'll let him...or
until his past catches up with him. Because J.T. is a man
on the run. And no matter how much he regrets it, he knows
he'll end up loving Leah—then leaving
her—again...
