Just when I didn't think that things could get any more heart-wrenching, it does. The roads that Stone and Maddie are forced to travel are are definitely filled with hardships. Will they survive? Can they live with their choices? Will they EVER find their find their way back to each other. I have very much enjoyed reading this series and truly enjoy the flow of the story and was able to completely connect with the characters in this series. You can't help but feel the love that builds between Stone and Maddie and feel the heartbreak that the two go through because their past tries to destroy any chance of them ever having a future. I haven't felt this kind of anger and sorrow for a couple of characters in quite some time and the suspense this series emits certain kept me reading until the very end.

This is the third book in the series and they need to be read in order.
Stone Shelton has a difficult decision to make with getting on a flight and how that will impact Madison and the kids.
But for Stone and Madison will they finally be able to overcome everything that is against them and come up on top or will everything shatter again?
This is a review that I have really struggled with writing. I really enjoyed the series but I hated the ending and it stuck with me for a long time. I wanted to be able to write the review with a more open mind but I know that in a way the author is probably happy with me hating it as it truly made an impact.
I struggled through the series with Andrew and Jackson always seeming to have the upper hand and it really frustrated me and this book still had that for me which is what made me a little angry.
I loved Madison's character and how she knew she needed to escape but everyone that seemed to help her never lasted long which made me super sad.
I loved that Stone got help n this book with his addiction and worked hard at making himself better which is why I struggled at the end so much.
I completely understand why the author did what they did but it just really made me sad and frustrated and I wanted to scream!!

The choices Stone made at the end of book 2 to not get on the plane in hindsight was a stupid thing to do. Now separated from Maddie and the kids Stone spirals and while he does Maddie finds herself managing as best she can. These 2 have had a horrible life and can't seem to catch a break. The love they have for each other consumes them but also is their only reason for living, not just them but for their safety of their siblings as well. Death and chaos and a little help from people who care get us through this segment. More lies and truths await them. Their love runs deep and has no limitations, no restrictions, no demands, no boundaries.
The series is good and powerful and yes dark. I have enjoyed every page but they are short and could have made one full length novel. It is a wonderful read and one that I am glad I indulged in. I couldn't decide how I felt about them and their situation but loved the intrigue and even the darkness.

Honestly, if I could give this story more than five stars I would. This is book three of the Stone series and it's just as intriguing as the first two books. The author sure knows how to write gripping scenes. During the whole series I rooted for Stone and Maddie. Their connection is unique and something that is treasured. The pain needed to stop for them and the children. I felt like they were never going to live a normal life, and I was emotionally gutted quite a few times. What got me was the ending. It wasn't what I expected and I honestly didn't want the book to end. It was such a fantastic read. (ARC)

This book truly broke my heart with everything that has happened in the 1st 2 books! I even messaged the author and told her I didn’t like her any more!! A complete lie, but she does seem to know how to keep you on your toes and rip your heart out at the same time! Impatiently waiting for book 4. Good luck Maddie you are a wonderful young lady and I am sitting in the front row rooting for you and love! Thank you Angel for ripping my heart out and you do know which parts I am talking about. By now you all have read the 1st 2 books and saying goodbye to Brian was hard enough. I did cheer for a few deaths and I did lose my breath at other points. Very well done M’lady!

This is a great story. I have enjoyed this series. Angel Rose did a great job on it. It was well written and had a great story plot and characters. This was an emotional read. I felt like I was on another emotional rollercoaster. The book will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's intense, dark and twisted. My emotions was everywhere. Stone and Madison are great characters. They were so strong. Their love was strong. I enjoyed this book/series. It's a great story. I suggest reading the series. Thank you, Angel Rose. Great work :)

This third installment of this series had my heart in all kinds of turmoil I was an emotional wreck reading it. So much happens in this book and the ending had me in tears. I couldn't believe after reading the first two books that it could get more frantic, crazily and keep me on an emotional rollercoaster but it surpassed it! I read all three books back to back because I was so engrossed in the words on the pages. By the end of each book I was ready to rush and find out what happened next. I won't spoil the ending for you all. Enjoy the book!

Agonizingly realistic, heartbreaking...
This part just shuttered my heart... It was real page turner and very angsty read.
Decisions had been made and their consequences emerged. This part of the story of Stone and Maddie and their family is full of action and unpredictable events with twist which literally changes everything. It is tragic but there is this beautiful and pure feeling that connects Stone and Maddie even if it is forbidden love. The ending is somewhat heart-warming and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Amazing heart wrenching and emotional conclusion to this trilogy. I absolutely loved Maddie and Stone. Their attraction for each other is understandable considering the bleakness of their lives. There are a few discrepancies if one looks closely at the details, but I'm willing to overlook them since the story is so compelling. I found myself teary eyed more than once during this series. This is the first I've read by this author but won't be the last. I truly enjoyed it and highly recommend it

Trapped in a marriage, to a deranged Andrew. He’s mentally ill, physically and verbally abusive. The kids are scared of him and what he’ll do to their momma. Maddie is a mess, but when the kids are taken she finds a backbone, knowing this is her last chance.
Stone is lost without Maddie and the kids by his side. He knows their love is wrong, but the heart knows what it wants. Struggling to cope without them he looks for an easy fix. Would you give up everything in the name of love or fight for it? Love is selfless, it’s an ultimate sacrifice.

Stone book 3
Oh Wow! You will need the tissues for this one.
I started this book and had to keep reading it till the end .
It had me on edge to find out what was to become of Maddie, Stone, Daniel and Alyssa.
So sad after all their fighting to be together came to such a tragic end.
But amazingly a happy kind of ending for all who survived.
Absolutely love Angels work, reading her books you become one with the characters.
Awsome read everyone should read this series!

This was as interesting as each of the previous two books. I was surprised by the reaction that Stone had and disappointed by it as well. I liked the amount of detail that the author put into the story which gave the reader depth to explore. The amount of adults that basically use both Madison and Stone was appalling. It added to the story though as emotions were engaged throughout the story as it was read. A great addition to the series.

Stone and Maddie have endured so much to be together. I loved this thrilling conclusion, with all its twisted machinations. I love how Stone persevered The heart knows what it wants, and it will stop at nothing to get it. So much emotions riding high all the way to the amazing end! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and also purchased a copy.

This is the conclusion to Maddie and Stone's story and it will leave you reeling!! The dark, intense, gripping and raw story comes to an end with more drama, pain, angst and heartbreak for these forbidden lovers. This series seriously takes readers on quite a ride and it will not appeal to everyone. I am posting a honest, freely given review.
December 1, 2018
Nooooo! A powerful conclusion to Stone and Maddie’s story. Truths are revealed. So much suffering. Heart-wrenching. I was tearing up at the resolution. It is still a good story but I wish the author will create an alternate ending. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

Their lives have been full of problems and they are still trying to be together. After all the problems, drugs and even prison can they get together again? Will they finally be together? Will they lose each other forever? See if they can

Stone Book 3 a Love Without Boundaries by Angel Rose in the final book in The Forbidden Love Series.
The start of this book picks up right at the end of the second book with Stone at the airport getting ready to board a plane to Maryland. When he decides not to take that flight there are events that are set into motion.
This final installment is a twisted tale of Maddie, Stone, Andrew, Jackson, Alyssa, Daniel and the struggle to survive. I was eagerly awaiting to see how this story ended and could not wait for the release party and read the book in a few hours. This story is full of emotions and kept this reader waiting to turn the page.
If you remember from book 2 this story has been about deceit from the beginning. Andrew is a wealthy man who gets what he wants regardless of anyone feelings and he has his sights on having a family with Maddie. Jackson, Andrew’s brother, is an FBI agent bent on making sure his bother stays out of trouble and weave a twisted story to keep Stone, Maddie and the kids in a state of confusion. He told Maddie he was taking her and the kids were going into witness protection and Stone will join them when it was safe.
Stone makes a decision not to get on the plane to Maryland and goes back to Maddie’s department where Jackson is waiting for him. Jackson tells Stone Maddie and Daniel are safe and he has gone to a judge to take custody of Alyssa to keep her safe. Stone has no idea what to do and breaks down. Meanwhile Maddie and Daniel are being told to get their clothes together because they are being taken to a safe house. When Maddie asks about Alyssa she is told Jackson will be taking her. Of course Maddie rebels and has the need to run. Jackson catches her and takes her back to his car only to find out Andrew is waiting for her and they are going to be living with Andrew.
Skipping ahead one year we learn Maddie is married to Andrew and Stone has spiraled into being a drug addict trying to exist in a world without Maddie. Stone ends up going into rehab while Maddie is living a nightmare of a life with the abusive Andrew.
Where does this story end? I will not spoil this for readers just know this…..this reader was cheering and crying all at the same time. The unconditional love was very overwhelming and I had to wait to write this review until I could calm down and stop crying. With love this strong it transcends time and space.
I recommend this book because the story is very possible today. The characters are well developed and complex in their story lines. PLEASE READ.

Wow, Angel did it again! I'm not sure which of her series I love the most...The Broken Heart or The Forbidden eh it's a tie :-).
When we left Stone and Maddie they were in two different places and the sh*t got real interesting. Lackey is killed and Stone isn't sure who to trust with the last words Lackey spoke to him plus his eyes told him Andrew was still alive.
Stone and Maddie have fought to be together even though they are brother and sister, but each of them is all they know and you can't break that kind of bond they possess. Stone is lost without Maddie and he self destructs by becoming the people he hated most his parents. Maddie can't believe Stone hasn't come to rescue her and the kids from the evil Andrew, but she doesn't know that he now is trying to find and save them.
Again the sh*t gets real and the stakes are high because Jackson and Andrew have plans for Maddie. Stone is seeking the help he needs to get clean when Alyssa and Daniel are dropped at his feet but no Maddie because she escaped the clutches of Andrew and Jackson.
There is so much going on that when Stone finds Maddie it's bittersweet. In order to find out what these two have gone through you need to read the entire series or you won't understand why their love is Forbidden.
Angel is very talented with her writing and she pulls you in so you won't want to stop reading. Angel let's you see that the line that may be crossed has good intentions that are wrong but when you feel the love her characters have for each other you understand why they feel the need to cross that line in this series. Taboo is what it starts as but that is where it ends, you can't help who you love and the heart plays the biggest part in that.

In the last installment of the Forbidden Love Series Stone and Madison is fighting for their lives and family.
Stone book3 comes back where it left off in book two at the airport.
While Stone is struggling with choices he has made to protect his family, Madison is in a whole lot of betrayal from her dead boyfriend's brother. When Stone and Madison realize they been manipulated by the people that said they was trying to help them all the crazy breaks loose.
Stone Book 3: A love without Boundaries is a excellent book It will have you crying if you're a cryer and definitely have you pissed off with some of the characters. I love Angel Rose and her writing she gives Darkromance a spotlight that's not bad to read.

Right back in this Forbidden love. Never the less real. Both sister & brother in different places, but still you can't breaks what they have together. In one place you've Maddie & the kids, who doesn't understand why Stone doesn't try to rescue them and in the other place you have Stone seeks help to clean his name. The stakes are high and Jackson & Andrew have both plans for Maddie. She can escape, but only Daniel & Alyssa are dropped at his feet.
You'll go along with this journey, so take the chance to read Angel Rose's books, it's really worth it, sadness, anger, suspens from Page 1. Keep on loving the personne you want no matter what the consequences are.
