“…grab an ice-cold glass of water, curl up on the couch, and submerge yourself in this feast for the senses.” -- Romance Reviews TodayBook 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…

Reviews
"One of the hardest things about being a reviewer is writing a review you know many people will disagree with. This is one of them. I found Forbidden to be such an unusual, compelling read that I had to give it a grade that reflected that. By no means does that indicate it's recommended for everyone. But for readers open to unusual stories and deeply flawed characters, you may find it as fascinating as I did." -- Leigh Thomas, All About Romance"FORBIDDEN is the latest Blaze by one of my favorite authors Tori Carrington. Leah and J.T. are memorable characters that will have you rooting for them to be together. [It's] the first of a three book miniseries titled SLEEPING WITH SECRETS, I am anxious to see what else Tori Carrington come up with." Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews
"This author sure knows how to create convincing characters with real life drama. The highly potent emotionalism of all the characters adds to the powerful chemistry between these two, making for a dynamically charged sensual tale that's good for more than one read." Darlene Kendall, Rendezvous"This is one of the best Harlequin Blazes that I have ever read. The reader is left with a turbulent, passionate, sensual slice out of the lives of J. T. and Leah that seduces you to read page after page, as obsessively as they love each other. The book absolutely sizzles with passion and sexuality that is enhanced by the emotional connection between these two characters.
"The only possible criticism this book might receive involves the extramarital affair Leah and J. T. engaged in prior to the break-up of her marriage. Morally conservative readers will be critical of this, but heck, if you’re a moralist, you’re not likely to be reading a Harlequin Blaze. This makes the criticism a very minimal one. This book expresses the reality of passionate, obsessive relationships, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
"I can’t wait to read the next two books in this series and once again, Tori Carrington has generated a book that pops and crackles with a wonderful storyline, endearing characters, and lots of sensuality. Plan for a long read because this book is one you will not be able to put down." Jeri Neal, 4 ½ plugs, http://theromancereadersconnection.com/Her sexy affair just came back to town, right in the middle of her reconciling with her ex-husband. What is Leah going to do now?
"Sexually charged, FORBIDDEN is a steamy story that will entice you to turn up the A/C, lock the door and grab a cool drink because it’s going to be one heck of a ride. Presented with the opportunity to go back to an unsatisfying life or take a chance and go with the love you know that makes life worth living, has you wondering, what would you do if you were Leah? FORBIDDEN is one of those stories that really brings home a situation many women find themselves in. Is it love or is it lust? I loved this book; the turmoil each character was going through pulls you deep into the story making you forget the outside world. Tori Carrington's Sleeping with Secrets miniseries is sure to set tongues wagging with the secrets they wrap into these sexually charged stories. Seeing what will be hidden in their June book, INDECENT has me dying in anticipation." Blue Ribbon Rating – 5, Bea Sigman, Romance Junkies
"Once again Tori Carrington pens a romance that's sure to please fans and draw in new ones too. FORBIDDEN captures the essence of a love that stands the test of time. The characters are superbly written, and the plot is well executed from beginning to end. Tori Carrington begins a new miniseries, Sleeping with Secrets, with a bang. Grab your copy of FORBIDDEN today." Sinclair Reid, Romance Reviews Today"Author writing team Tori Carrington has a gift for creating sensual romance that meets reader's high expectations of the Blaze line. But they also have a flair for characterization. This husband/wife team consistently gives both the male and female characters a unique roundness, as especially demonstrated in FORBIDDEN. I admit that this is the first series romance I have encountered that the heroine has an affair that breaks up her marriage, and on the brink of remarrying, returns to the forbidden. And J.T. is defiantly a forbidden pleasure. Moreover, Leah's ex-husband is not a bad man, neither having abused her nor treated her particularly badly. They simply did not have a good marriage that satisfied both of their needs, thereby depriving Leah the standard moral clauses that excuse pursuing another man. Certainly Leah faces choices that many women confront with courage and strength, however challenging and difficult this real-life situation might be. While this is a plot that could go badly awry with reader sympathy, Carrington makes the forbidden both understandable and forgivable The result is a sizzling, sensual and daring, making FORBIDDEN very highly recommended."

Dear Reader, Sleeping with Secrets… Intrigued? We have to admit the title of this miniseries grabbed us from the start and refused to let go. It tempted us to step into the shadows, opening our eyes to all sorts of forbidden, sexy ideas that began with our title in the January 2004 PRIVATE SCANDALS Anthology and continues with three books for Blaze. In the first story, FORBIDDEN, sexy single mom Leah Dubois Burger had life all figured out… until J.T. West awakened a restlessness in her a year and a half ago, setting off a chain reaction that was as destructive as it was exciting. She’d ultimately decided that being with J.T. was worth the risk….until he left her standing in the middle of a mess she couldn’t begin to sort through. Now, just when she thinks she has everything back under control, J.T. comes back. But does she dare trust him with her heart, her very soul, again? We hope Leah and J.T.’s story draws you in and doesn’t let go until the very last page. We’d love to hear what you think. Write to us at P.O. Box 12271, Toledo, OH 43612 (we’ll respond with a signed bookplate, newsletter and bookmark), or visit us on the web at www.toricarrington.com for hot drawings. And don’t miss the other two books in our Sleeping With Secrets mini-series. Look for INDECENT in June 2004 and WICKED in August. Here’s wishing you love, romance and compelling reading.
********************* Dedication We warmly dedicate this book to Diana Tidlund aka Moosehog, |
Excerpt from FORBIDDEN:
He wondered if she had only sex on her mind.Leah advanced on J.T., her dark eyes all hot desire, her breasts pressing against the front of her blouse, her movements determined and undeniably sexy. She stopped in front of him, then kissed him like her life depended on it.
Good Lord, what this woman did to him. He was standing there drenched in sweat, his muscles aching, and Leah made him forget all of that with one hungry kiss.
“Hello to you, too,” he murmured, cupping her shoulders and pulling her slightly away.
She grabbed his hand and started leading him into the house, leaving no doubt about her motivations for being there. It made him a little uneasy.
“Can a guy catch a shower first?” he asked, stalling.
She turned toward him. “But I want you to be dirty.” The flush of passion on her pale cheeks made it clear what she meant.
J.T. swallowed hard. Just the passion in Leah’s face made him forget about the work that needed to be done, forget that she’d very obviously come out just for sex.
He loved claiming her sweet body. Loved giving her orgasm after orgasm.
But it was her heart he was after.
And he was afraid he’d never reach it.
