by Cali MacKay

*** This is Part 3 of 4. In addition, Forbidden -- The COMPLETE Saga (parts 1-4) is now available in a convenient box set for a DISCOUNTED price!! amazon.com/dp/B01G9LPDQ4 *** From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Cali MacKay... Hawke Townsend is haunted by the demons of his past. But when a woman washes up on the shore of the private island he shares with his identical twin, Archer, there’s something about her that finally cuts through his darkness. Yet her presence on the island poses its own set of complications, given Hawke’s reclusive nature, and the fact that very few people realize that the famous artist, Jackson Townsend, is actually two people. Phoebe Nicholls is running from an abusive ex determined to see her dead—and he nearly gets his wish. After battling a brutal ocean, she awakes to find herself recovering in the bed of a handsome stranger—who’s offered her the lifeline she so desperately needs and the chance to finally stop running. She can stay on the island as long as she’d like, and in exchange, she’ll model for his paintings and be his muse. The twins have always been close, and are in so many ways one person, with Archer protecting his brother and going out into the world on his behalf. But presenting a single face to the world at large is far easier than keeping up the charade on their own private island with Phoebe on the loose. How long can they keep up their deception once they both start to develop feelings for her? And when Phoebe finds out, will she be able to forgive them?

OMG I can't get enough of the twins

I love this series it's the best I just can't put the book down till it's done and then I sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment. I wish it was more than the four books these twins are delish!

This is part 3 of 4, the continuing story of Hawke, Archer and Phoebe . She has just found out that what she thought isn't the truth of what is, in even more turmoil than she was with the stuff from her past can she get past this latest twist. Her love not being quite what she though it was, she just cant understand the lies. I was on the edge of my seat again reading this as I was for the first two parts, could the twins persuade her to give them another chance and let them openly love her. I really feel for all three of these characters, each have their own separate issues as well as those they share. Though personally if I had twins wanting to love and equally share me I think I was the luckiest woman alive, I love this threesome I think if they can work thing out it will be a fantastic relationship for all of them. Cali again left me just hanging there at the end and now I have to wait till she has finished part four, I hope it doesn't take to long I really need to know the end now. I would recommend if you haven't started this series buy but wait for the forth part before you read, unless you don't mind cliff hangers and a gap before the next bit. This is a great story concept and I love it, there is a deepness inside each of the characters but there's also this longing for acceptance and love for who each of them are. So love, angst, jealousy, uncertainty and a slight feeling of betrayal with the lies all play a part in keeping you riveted to the end. ENJOY! I did.

NO SPOILERS
Need the last part now please!!!
Part 3 starts with Phoebe fining out there are 2 of them not one. How will she react? Will she be able to forgive them? Will they be able to live with what they have done to her? Will they do what it takes to keep her, and keep her safe from mean ole Kevin?
Phoebe is mad as a wet hen when she realizes there are 2 twins not one man. She fell in love with Jackson, who is really 2 different men. She has a hard time dealing with the betrayal as it were.
Both Archer and Hawke fear the worse when Phoebe decides she need to be alone after finding out about their lies. Both are tore up from hurting her, and they know they did. Will they be able to convince her to stay with them or will this divide the twins? Only part 4 can tell us that and we have to wait for it.
This part shows us the twins in a new light, one with no rose colored glasses. We see deeper into Hawke’s issues that make him such a recluse, and Archer commitment to making sure his brother doesn’t dive back into the black hole of his soul. Stay tuned for part 4.

Then there were two

Trying to keep the twin situation withheld from Phoebe was becoming more difficult with each passing day. Hawke and Archer decided to let the truth out that Jackson was really the two of them. Phone's reaction was understandable but the twins insisted the three of them could have a relationship. Now reading book 3, I am no longer jealous of Phoebe; instead I am starting to worry. Book 4 cannot be released soon enough.

Things are really heating up in and out of the bedroom between the three of them. Now that Phoebe knows that there are actually two men that she is in love with and that they are each in love with her, will they be able to find a way to be happy. What a cliffhanger! Can't wait for the conclusion! !

Forbidden: Part three by Cali Mackay was another good book in the series. In this book Hawke, Phoebe and Archer try to make their unique situation work. It is not easy and they have growing pains the entire time. I loved this book and loved reading about how they are trying to make this work. I can't wait to read what happens with the characters in part four.

Oh...

My goodness- what are they gonna do! I knew something like this had to happen once they all were over thinking things. Hopefully it all comes together in the end.
