The Sinclairs #2
El multimillonario prohibido
Jared Sinclair es un atractivo multimillonario que regresa a Amesport para dejar atrás su infancia y el sentimiento de culpa de una tragedia reciente.
Mara es una mujer con un futuro incierto. Su vida personal y profesional amenazan con derrumbarse en cualquier momento, como la casa donde vive y dirige su tienda de muñecas.
Desde su regreso a Amesport, Jared siente una atracción especial por Mara, la primera mujer que lo aprecia por lo que es y no por lo abultado de su cartera. Cuando ella se queda sin trabajo ni hogar, Jared le hace una oferta profesional que no podrá rechazar... y que la arrastrará a una relación tórrida y altamente sensual. Juntos descubrirán que, aparte de los negocios, también los une la pasión. Sin embargo, el pasado vuelve cuando menos se lo esperan para poner a prueba la solidez de su amor.

Listened to this through my KU membership. Narrator did a good job and the price (free) could not be beat!
I usually enjoy this author. This book fell right in line with what I expect from her. It was possibly a little sweeter than normal. But it was also a low angst, easy read.
I liked Jared and Mara. Neither were anything special, nor were they jerks, assholes or stupid. If you are looking for a simple romance, this is an easy choice.

I received an ARC copy for an honest review
Luckily I wasn't forbidden to read this book because I would have missed out. I am hooked on The Sinclair Series. Every time I read I can't wait for the next one. This is Jared Sinclair's story, he should be hidden never mind being forbidden. Such a beautiful man inside and out. The dominate traits that these men have gives me Goosebumps, it's something in the Billionaire Genes or should I say Jeans, Oh boy I can see him now, shirtless, filling out a pair of Jeans the only way Jared could. Think HUGE, wink wink!!
Jared has a secret about his past, something he's never going to forget and struggles to move forward with his life because of it. Nobody knows what has occurred in Jared's life, not even his family except his brother Evan, you can't hide nothing from him but that's for a whole another story which I am looking forward to reading.
Jared finds himself attracted to a lady called Mara who works in a shop making dolls. Her grandmother and her mother all used to work making these beautiful dolls, it was only natural that Mara would keep up family tradition. Unfortunately her premises have been sold and she must find somewhere else to live along with finding a new job. Mara is very much alone in this world, she has a friend called Kristen but no family to help her out.
Jared has his own ideas about helping Mara out when he finds out she can make the best jams and sauces he's ever tasted. He desperately wants her to move because he knows the building she resides in is unsafe.
Mara is such a sweet girl, she has cared for others her whole life, she has never used anybody for her own personal gain and she's not about to start now, although Jared can be very persuasive when he wants to be.
Tragedy strikes. Gasp!! Don't worry remember HEA. It's Author J.S. Scott number one rule.
Difficult times are ahead for Mara and Jared. Secrets will be revealed, feelings will be hurt BUT true love and a Sinclair Billionaire will always find a way to right a wrong.
This book is an absolute must read. I recommend all lovers of Erotic Contemporary Romance read Forbidden Billionaire. I am now patiently waiting for Evan Sinclair's story. I see lip biting with anticipation in my future. Author J.S. Scott thank you so much for continuing to write such fabulous stories.

Omg, Js has done it again. I received this as a ARC for a honest review. So thanks to Jan and the team for giving me this honor. I loved Jared Sinclair and Mara Ross. They both have been through hell and it has made them stronger and better people. Mara is making it day by day. She is devastating to find out she is losing the only home she grow up in.
Jared has more money then he knows what to do with. He isn't one to believe in love, ( Not real love anyway) all because of his past.
Will Mara accomplish what she wants. Will Jared overcome his past. This is a must read. I 100% recommend this to anyone and everyone. I couldn't stop reading once I started.

Esta segunda parte me ha gustado más que la primera, aunque la trama sobre la que se construye todo me haya resultado floja, sobre todo su desenlace.
Los personajes maravillosos. Jared me ha encandilado y Mara, tan compasiva e inocente, se ha llevado un pedacito de corazón.
Deseando leer la historia del primogénito de los Sinclair.

RECENSIONE QUI: https://thereadingslove.blogspot.com/...
Un libro che è un perfetto mix di passione e dolcezza, ardore e buoni sentimenti. La scrittura di J.S. Scott è impeccabile e coinvolgente. In questo secondo volume della series I Sinclair, Un miliardario inavvicinabile, conosceremo un altro dei famosi e ricchissimi fratelli, l’architetto Jared. Tutti i romanzi della serie sono autoconclusivi. Jared Sinclair proviene da una famiglia importante ed agiata, appartenente ad un élite benestante di antica tradizione. Jared è dotato di un carisma e un fascino tale che tutte le donne si sciolgono letteralmente al suo cospetto. Emana un senso di eleganza e di padronanza in qualsiasi posto si trovi, sempre circondato da un’aura di potere impossibile da ignorare. Mentre sta facendo delle ricerche sul passato della sua famiglia nel suggestivo paesino di Amesport, Jared conosce Mara Ross, la proprietaria di un antico negozio di bambole. Jared in questo periodo della sua vita sente la necessità di ricomporre il puzzle della storia della sua famiglia e riscoprire le tracce dei suoi antenati. Scopriremo che alle spalle ha un passato duro, costellato di dolore, di tradimenti, di menzogne. Spesso durante la notte gli incubi ritornano a fargli visita, gli sembra impossibile riuscire a cancellare o anche solo dimenticare per un giorno i suoi trascorsi. Per questo motivo cerca di evitare le situazioni emotive come fossero una malattia incurabile. Mantenere il controllo delle emozioni è l’imperativo della sua vita. Eppure quando Mara Ross si trova ad affrontare un grave problema economico per lui è impossibile farsi da parte e mantenere fede alla freddezza che lo contraddistingue. L’attrazione è immediata e da subito si sente affascinato dalla dolcissima ragazza tutta curve. Mara Ross lo destabilizza, gli fa provare emozioni che teneva rinchiuse da troppo tempo. La nostra protagonista femminile ha un corpo morbido, un sorriso sincero e leale, una generosità e una bontà d’animo senza pari. Sarà impossibile per Jared sfuggire alle difficoltà economiche di Mara. Cercherà di aiutarla con tutti i mezzi a sua disposizione...

JS Scott's Sinclair books are fabulous and I love each and every one of them so far. If you want passion, hot Alpha male and HEA this is the book for you. This is another winner from JS Scott.
The Forbidden Billionaire is Jared Sinclair's story. The story opens up with a glimpse of Jared's past and why he is so distance about getting into a serious relationship, but Mara has gotten under his skin. Mara is the owner of a failing doll store as the store is falling down around her literally and figuratively.
Mara is down and out when the store, which is also her home, is burned down to the ground. Jared puts her up in his guest house, but she ends up more in his house or he is in the guest house. The relationship is based on physical attraction, but you can see that Mara is melting Jared's heart and healing his wounds. The reader is treated to passionate scenes, which JS Scott writes to perfection.
Love never comes without its problems and yes, Jared and Mara hit a bump in the road, however; the reader gets the HEA.
This story also gives a sneak peep on Evan's personality, which I can't wait to read about his past and future in the next book. You are treated to the gathering of the entire Sinclair's clan in this story, so you continue to see how their lives are progressing.
I highly recommend this book to readers who love romance, passion, erotica, alpha males and HEA.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Mara is sweet, caring and proud while Jared is fierce, caring and controlling. Jared and Mara make a beautiful couple and I absolutely LOVE their story. He wants to help her but she is too proud to agree to his terms and he is fighting his past while she is there for support. Once again JS Scott has done an outstanding job with this book. Highly recommended!!!!
Now.....throughout this story you learn about Evan and let me just say that I am very intrigued. He seems like a tough one to crack but I know there is some women out there that can and I can't wait to read their story.
I was given an arc for an honest review.

The Forbidden Billionaire book 2 in The Sinclair Series is amazing. From the moment you open this book and start reading you are pulled into the story. Jared Sinclair is a man dealing with a hurtful past, not only from his childhood but from guilt that is eating away at him and has made him hard and distant.
Coming home to Amesport, Maine, Jared has set some things in motion that he soon regrets, especially since it involves a shop owner, Mara Ross.
Mara is a sweet and kind young woman, who took over her mothers store after she passed away. Without her knowing her shop has been purchased she soon finds herself alone and about to loose everything that she has worked for. Jared wants to come to her rescue, but Mara is unsure why and becomes suspicious of what Jared wants with someone like her.
The scenes with Jared and Mara are funny and sexy, Jared opens a door to pleasure that Mara has never known before. Jared is torn because of the things that he has done, that Mara doesn't know about. She is breaking down his walls and melting his hardened heart and Jared could risk loosing the one good thing that he has wanted in a long time.
I loved everything about this book, we get glimpse of all the Sinclair family and what a strong bond they have for each other. There's another character in this book that JS Scott did an amazing job of adding into to story. The town of Amesport Maine is just as much a part of this book as the Sinclair family. I honestly found myself wishing that I could go there, you'll find yourself laughing at two ladies in this series, Beatrice and Elise. This is a book that I think all romance readers will love, there is laughter, heartache, steam and just great set of characters that you want more from.

Le doy dos estrellas y me estoy arriesgando XD
Jared Sinclair es un joven multimillonario que ha vuelto a Amesport para olvidar el pasado.
Mara Ross se encuentra en una difícil situación, pronto se quedará sin casa y sin trabajo. Jared le propone un trato a Mara entre ellos surge una relación en la que ella lo que menos tiene en cuenta es la cartera del multimillonario.
Las novelas de esta autora me suelen gustar porque son librillos para pasar el rato y las historias son entretenidas pero con éste no ha sucedido así. No sé porque pero creo que esta “producción en cadena” de novelas llega a un punto en que la mayoría pasará sin pena ni gloria y así ha sido con este segundo volumen.
La sinopsis tiene buena pinta pero es algo engañosa y luego te encuentras un libro aceptable que pasa sin dejar ningún tipo de huella. Y es que la relación entre Jared y Mara no ofrece ni siquiera un poco de tensión, no tiene vidilla, es muy del montón. Ellos no son insoportables pero no tienen nada que destacar, vamos que me aburrí. Como ya me está pasando con esta autora me suelen gustar más personajes secundarios que luego se suponen que serán los siguientes en la lista de la serie, como por ejemplo, Evan y luego me llevo el chasco. Supongo que seguiré cayendo como una mosca en la miel y me leeré el siguiente solo porque soy algo curiosa jeje.

I received an ARC copy of this book and it was amazing. Jared is the perfect "needs to be loved" hero. I enjoyed the story line and the glimpses of characters from the first two stories. Jared has hardened his heart to love to the point that he doesn't recognize it at first. Mara is trying to hold onto a piece of her family while knowing she can't survive. The two of the clash and soon the sparks are so hot I am surprised my book didn't ignite. Jared and Mara's story is my favorite next to Billionaire Undone. This story made me laugh out loud, sniffle a little, and fall in love with Jared Sinclair. We also get a glimpse of Evan in this book, he might be the hardest nut to crack but he loves his family and you see that in Jared and Mara's story. This book is why I never hesitate to buy a J.S. Scott book. She does NOT disappoint.

I love these Sinclair men! Grady was great and Dante was amazing, but Jared, now he is even better! I don't know how J.S. Scott does it! And I'm really, really intrigued to see which lucky lady is going to break through brother number four's icy exterior! But I digress...Jared and Mara are such a great match. She is just what Jared needed to see that all women aren't money grubbing she-devils! And Jared is just what Mara needed to gain some confidence and get out of the rut her life was in. It didn't hurt that they were HOT together! I loved this book and can't wait for the next in the series!
January 8, 2017
This was another great Sinclair's novel.We met Jared in No Ordinary Billionaire by J.S. Scott, and I instantly wanted to know what happened to Jared in his past. When you meet Jared you want to see good things happen to him. I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book. I loved reading the connection between Mara and Jared. They are a couple that you want to see happy and together. This was an amazing book that everyone needs to read. I can't wait to read more by J.S. Scott.

Oh how I loved this series by Jan. I just the Sinclair brothers. Jared just too good for his on good. How he shown love and was able to received after everything he been through. Oh and how Mara stands her own is priceless.

J. S. Scott’s The Forbidden Billionaire is the story of Jared Sinclair and Mara Ross. Jared is an architect by trade who upon graduating college had a dream to buy, refurbish and sell old homes. His plans were derailed as betrayal and unfounded guilt led him down a path where he was all work and no play while having superficial relationships with women and business associates. Jared felt he deserved the life he was leading until he saw Mara. Mara has lived in Amesport, Maine her entire life; Relinquishing her college dreams, she returns to her family home to not only care for her ailing mother but to take over the family shop started by her grandmother.
Jason and Mara begin a friendship that leads to not only a business partnership, but a romantic relationship as they work on helping each other heal. Can their good fortune hold out, or will they last when the betrayed (Jared) becomes the betrayer? Can Evan, the stodgy eldest Sinclair brother, help each of them with his objective point-of-view? This is one story you will want to read in order to find out the answer to those questions.
This is the second book Ms. Scott has published via Montlake Publishing, and while I have always enjoyed her books, I feel that she has expanded and grown with this publisher. Her books seem to have lengthened considerably thus providing the reader with ability to not only get to know but understand the characters more fully. Once again, the sex and profanity do not overshadow the dialogue or storyline in this book.
In The Forbidden Billionaire, we also had a chance to get to know Evan Sinclair. I can’t wait to hear his story as I feel he is the most intriguing Sinclair brother out of all of them.

Jared and Mara jump off the page from the very beginning as soon as you are introduced to them. I love the way the author builds their story and puts them together before they are officially together.
Jared is a wealthy billionaire with a troubling past that has kept him hiding his heart for many years. Mara is all on her own having lost her mother not long ago running a failing doll shop and taking her amazing recipes to a local farmers market on the weekend to supplement her income and make ends meet.
Jared falls for her form the beginning even if he does not want to admit that he is in love with her. Mara takes a while to warm up to the fact that someone like Jared (crazy hot and rich) would ever be interested in her but when she falls she falls hard.
I like the interaction of the rest of the Sinclair family in the story, how they are all together and how the stories tie together. I loved learning a little bit (if not all that much) about Evan. By the time the book was done I was sad to leave Jared and Mara behind but I could not wait to see what happens to Evan next.
As always this is another 5 star read from JS Scott. She truly brings the characters to life and pulls you in not only the story on what is going on with them but the little town created around the story as well. I can't wait to see what is next for the Sinclair family but am sad that we only have one more Sinclair to go.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.
In this book we get Jared Sinclair's story and there is Mara Ross who we met in Dante and Sarah's book. Both Jared and Mara are fighting with some demon's from their past and have not found a way yet to get past them to find true love again.
Jared does not believe in true love any more he did once but the pain of being hurt has closed him off to the idea of being with anyone else. Even though he has made a promise to himself to never allow anyone in so that way he can never get hurt again. However there is something about Mara he just can't get past and finds her burrowing in farther and farther to the point that he doesn't know what to do without her around.
Mara was hurt by a man while still in college and has not been willing to try again but looking at Jared does something to her. The more time she spends with him the more she wants to spend. Mara knows Jared's reputation and thinks that there can ever be anything between them but she knows she just wants to spend as much time as he will let her with him.
In this book we find two people who are looking to find love, acceptance, and a sense of being wanted and needed. There are many twist and turns to this book. It is an amazing read that once you start you will not be able to put down. I highly recommend not only this book but all the books in this series.
In this book we get Jared Sinclair's story and there is Mara Ross who we met in Dante and Sarah's book. Both Jared and Mara are fighting with some demon's from their past and have not found a way yet to get past them to find true love again.
Jared does not believe in true love any more he did once but the pain of being hurt has closed him off to the idea of being with anyone else. Even though he has made a promise to himself to never allow anyone in so that way he can never get hurt again. However there is something about Mara he just can't get past and finds her burrowing in farther and farther to the point that he doesn't know what to do without her around.

I've been eagerly awaiting this book and it didn't disappoint.
I'm a big fan of J. S. Scott. I've read all her previous books and was looking forward to this a lot.
I loved reading Jared and Mara's story. You are sucked into the story immediately. Jared, hardened emotionally from events in his past, comes to Amesport with a plan. He becomes closer to Mara which throws a bit of a spanner in the works however.
I loved Mara. She is sweet and kind, hard working and honourable, but also funny.
Jared was another great character. He is carrying a lot of emotional baggage but I loved how his softer side came through. I adored the interaction between them and watching their story develop.
It was great to meet the other Sinclair's again and I am greatly intrigued at the insight into Jared's brother Evan's character. I can't wait for his story.
As with all of J. S. Scott's books there is plenty of hotness and romance. I'm a sucker for a good romance and Mrs Scott is wonderful at her job. There are ups and downs but it leaves you with a great big smile on your face and a warm feeling inside.
I enjoyed every minute of this. I eagerly await the next in the series. If you are a fan of hot romance then I would definitely recommend.

The Sinclairs live on a peninsula in Amesport, Maine. With the exception of one brother, the others considered their homes there to be vacation homes. J.S. Scott has a way of writing about Amesport, that makes the reader want to visit the quaint little town, and spend time with the people who live there.
I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book, and let me tell you, if you have been following this series, you are in for a real treat. I adored Grady, I loved Dante, but Jared, WOW!! Jared is suffering some guilt over a recent tragedy in his life, but that doesn't stop him from pursuing Mara, who runs a little doll shop in town. (I don't want to spoil this one for anybody, so that's all I am going to say about it, other than get ready for a fantastic read).
This book pulled me in from the very first page, and my heart broke over the pain that Jared suffered a few years earlier, a pain that he has never let go of. Evan, his older brother, has a substantial part in this book, and in my opinion, when the time comes for his book, he will definitely be a hard nut to crack!
So, get ready for a great read, once again J.S. Scott, did not disappoint!!

So, this is the story of a second younger Sinclair brother, Jared, a wealthy businessman with a 'betrayal' on his chest, that turned him into a somewhat cold and distant womanizer...but it all changes when his interest is stirred by petite brunette, Mara Ross, a young woman who's struggling to save her small doll shop while she s trying to find a way to stay afloat and keep her home.
Well, that right there is an opening for Jared to make his move...by offering her a business deal, to give her a chance to develop her talents and open another business...but of course, they find more in each other while they face and deal with the matters of the hurtful past.
As much as I liked book 1, I found this story a bit boring in 'copy/paste' style as some of the dialogues were absolutely the same as in book 1 spoken from the main characters there...and that was not only a 'deja vu' happening but it also took a tool on originality...too bad, it could have been another refreshment but sadly Jared wasn't even close to Dante, from the first book.
Nevertheless, I was intrigued by the eldest brother Evan...so I will give another chance to this series...

I loved this story of Jared, at first he kind of reminded me of Simon because he stalks Mara. In fact, Jared was just like Simon, he would do do anything for Mara. I wish I could give this book, more the five stars...
How the book starts, Jared is stalking Mara he finds her crying he goes to here and try's and make her feel better. Well after that we see Jared and Mara spending allot of time together, Jared is telling Mara all this stuff he want to do to her sexual things, she doesn't want to believe him because he is a ladies man, but something happens and Mara turns to Jared for support and comfort. This book is great, there is fun flirty scenes, hot loving scenes. We see Jared and Mara come to life in each page, of course we see the rest of the Sinclair's... This book is a must read, you will love it....
I am not going to ruin it for you, but this is a must read.... I Can't wait for the next book Evan's book. I think he is a great guy under it all......

Ms Scott has done a fantastic job with making you fall in love with yet another billionaire couple. Jared and Mara are added to list of my favorite couples. From the last book we already know that Jared is becoming obsessed with Mara. He certainly doesn't do things in the norm. From the very beginning he wants to protect her. He's keeping a secret from her that he fears when she finds out she will be hurt, mad, and reject him. He's been hurt in the past and he's haunted by it. I love Mara because she's very sweet, caring, and a little bit vulnerable, but shes got a lot of strength too. She's also very open and honest. I think together they are the perfect duo. Jared helps her achieve her passion and Mara helps him overcome his past. And Evan, oh man I can't wait for his story to come out. He really pulls @ the heartstrings. You really want him to find that special someone who can open his heart and help him release some of the family burned that he feels he needs to control and take care of.

The Forbidden Billionaire by J S Scott
Jared Sinclair’s bad childhood and a betrayal in college has left this billionaire bad boy a very closed off man believing that love does not exist until Mara Ross. When Mara’s home and all her possessions are lost in a fire, Jared decides he wants to be the one to help her out. He comes up with a proposition she can’t refuse and the trust between them starts to build very slowly. Mara is who Jared didn’t realize he needed to help him heal and let go of the guilt that was eating him up.
I do love J S Scott’s billionaire stories and Jared and Mara are one of my favorites! I love that Jared is so protective and wants to take care of Mara while she is standing her ground about his over-protectiveness! This is a great love story and I can’t wait for Evan’s story next!!! I love the way Jan has a family that she can connect but the stories are all different.

Jared Sinclair is the youngest of the Sinclair men. He is a very successful real estate investor. He wanted to restore old buildings but that dream ended with his best friend and his girl. He caught them together one night and it destroyed him. Jared has a real problem with relationships. He picks up a girl gives her what she wants and buys her a present and sends her on her way. He is Amesport for his brother's wedding. Dante is marrying Sarah. Mara Ross owns a doll shop on main street but it is failing and her building is in desperate need of repair. Jared is attracted to Mara but he can't understand the attraction. He just knows he needs her. This story is great. It does, however contain profanity and sex scenes so it may not be for all. It is another winner for J S Scott. I know you will love this story as you read it and everything unfolds in their relationship.

OMG, I love the Sinclairs! Dante was absolutely wonderful, we met him in No Ordinary Billionaire. This book is about his brother Jared. Jared has secrets about things that occurred in his younger years but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a compassionate, understanding beautiful man, inside and out. I was given an arc for an honest review. I am being more than honest when I say that if you are a romance fan, this book and series needs to go on your must read list. I adored the leading lady, Mara. She is so strong even when tragedy strikes. I keep having this image of a scrumptious Jared riding a white horse about Amesport. J.S. Scott is remarkable and I am so excited that I have discovered that Evan's story will be told next. Hang on tight. Evan is going to be a steamy, exciting book, I personally can not wait. Grab the Sinclair series. It is wonderful!

Jared is the youngest of the Sinclair men but he holds his own in the Alpha department.. Jared has come home to Ameport not only to see his brother get married but to restore much loved piece of real estate in town. Even though he doesn't do relationships, he had a relationship go bad in the past, he is attracted to Mara, a doll maker who lives in an old family home. These two are explosive together and Mara is just as stubborn as Jared so the play off each other well. I really enjoyed this story because we see how the Sinclairs really love each other even if distance kept them apart. This book is a romance story but has profanity and sex scenes so beware. I can't wait to read the next Sinclair story.

After Dante and Sarah, we get Jared and Mara. They're adorable together!
Jared has sworn off relationships after his girl and best friend are caught together. Whoops!
Mara is running her own shop. Her mother previously passed away.
They both have their reservations about getting into a relationship togetherness but, well, who could resist a sexy Sinclair man?
This book will have you wanting to finish it in one sitting, just to see what happens. Want to know? One-click to find out!

ARC for a honest review..
And honest I will be...Jan you have done it again..It keeps getting better and better...It took me so long to read because I haven't read a physical book in sometime and when I can't sleep i'll read on my phone but can't when you have to turn a light on. Jared's story made me cry, just a little he is a beautiful man inside and out and Mara was lucky to have found him, they were lucky to have found each other. I can't not wait until Evan story...

This is the story of Jared Sinclair and Mara Ross. Through life experiences Jared has closed himself off and comes across as 'cold' but as the books goes along he is anything but 'cold'.
Mara is all alone in the world after her Mom's death.
They develop an unlikely friendship that develops into a
'hot' romance.
I loved getting to know Jared and Mara in this book and reconnecting with the rest of the Sinclair's.
This is a must read book. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.
