(FROM AMAZON)
When Lady Eleanor Sotheby unexpectedly enters the life of Jayne Clark, a
23-year old waitress from Wichita, Kansas, Jayne's world is turned
upside down. Not only is she welcomed into a family that she never knew,
but she is thrust headlong into the highest strata of European society.
Nothing is too grand in the fairy tale lives of the super-rich--the
spectacular seaside villas, the sleek, chauffeured limousines, the
outrageously expensive designer clothes. When Jayne plays her part and
learns to fit into this new world, she meets Robert Astor, the man of
her dreams. But her feelings for Robert are forbidden. Jayne's heady
new life begins to unravel into a dark web of deceit, domination and
greed...and she ultimately finds herself confronting an evil that truly
has no limits.

AUTHOR
Mike Wells's writing has not disappointed
me, and I have read a lot of his novels. He writes with such
imagery and excellent emotional tension. I was really excited when I got the chance to read the books.
REVIEW
Don't you sometimes wonder if some people are just plain EVIL? Born that way? Greed and ambition can make a person do terrible things, even to their family. They will kill, maim and sacrifice family, even little children. All for that satisfaction of greed and evil.Maybe some people can change but as time goes on, it becomes less and less a chance for change. It only becomes worse. This book is a cross between the rich establishment and a fairytale family reunion that comes undone. This happens as the reader goes through the fast paced present and what happened in the evil and destructive back story. The story is a fast paced read that rips at your heart. The reader just wants an answer, but how can that be when you are dealing with evil? Don't stop at Book One. You will want to read the entire story all the way through Book 3. A total page turner that grips at your heart strings.
Quote from book:
"I'd rather be dead than poor."
Character development is one of Mr. Wells talent. As we read, the female characters become stronger and their personalities grow and become better. Jayne seemed to always be one step ahead when needed. As she became true with herself, she became stronger.Celeste was a surprise. She seemed a bit one sided and didn't seem to have much substance to her. The more you read, the more you see her as a strong, well rounded character.She is a very complex character. Eleanor was the fun character which evened out the other characters.Let's put the women aside and look at Robert. Oh My! He is well educated, handsome, an outdoors man, rich and a real gentleman. He works hard for his father's business, and always looks at what others have to say.From page one you can't stop turning the pages. The pace never slowed. Can't wait to read another book by Mike Wells. Simply makes your heart beat hard. The ending will really surprise you but you will be happy with it. Romance is at the core of the ending.
I received a complimentary copy of FORBIDDEN from the author, Mike Wells and Devika Fernando for my view of the book.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
