POWERFUL, ANGSTY Gangsterotical story!

Their love was forbidden because of who he was and what she did!

I've been grappling with the words for this book and still having problems writing a review without giving out spoilers to "Forbidden: Gangsterotical Tale." I read this book on a dare because I usually find urban fiction a bit daunting with all the slang but I stuck it out due largely to urbandictionary.com. Yes, URBANDICTIONARY.COM--- I made it through and really enjoyed the ups and downs intertwined in Anthony Padmore and Soldada Andrew's very gritty and erotic tale! NOTE: The more I continued reading Shaun Sinclair's angsty story, the more I realized this story reminded me of the TV show, "Power" -- so many twists and turns although Anthony Padmore was not boss of the family!

Read this one...you will enjoy it from page one to the very end!

5 star read!!!!!!!!

Forbidden is a story within and from the beginning you will not be able to put it down because you eagerly want to know what is going to happen next. The chemistry between Anthony and Soldada is electric and undeniable. Author Shaun Sinclair did a great job bringing the heat within the pages of Forbidden.

Two people in a beautiful place for a different reason and yet their paths cross. Anthony comes from a world unknown to Soldada and combine this with her being naive and Anthony being street smart, the two definitely compliment each other and their relationship makes for a good read.

Forbidden by Shaun Sinclair is the perfect blend of urban fiction and erotica. The action and suspense kept me engrossed accompanied by the sexiness of the storyline. This was my first read by this author and I definitely look forward to more from him. Kudos on a literary job well done!
