All these books have something in common, the relationship is 'forbidden' or frowned upon in some way. Every one of them has a white hot heat level. I found the stories fun, conflicting and overall enjoyable.
I've read each book individually, but since they've come out as a collection I decided to review the group.
Forbidden Virgin:
He's older than her, and her father's best friend but Kate has desired him for years. She isn't going to let him get away this time, she has the summer to convince him this is right for both of them.
Graham knows this is wrong on many levels but the little vixen has her sights set on him. With every encounter his resolve to stay away crumbles.
When he realizes the gift she has saved for him, he finds himself wanting far more than just a fling. He wants it all with her.
In the face of the intensity of their growing relationship and her father's total disapproval, Graham sends her off to finish her schooling.
A fun read as we watch Kate's calculated seduction, and Graham's ever melting will power. The question remains, can they really ignore her father's unwillingness to accept them as a couple.
Forbidden Inmate:
When Mia's counsellor at the minimum security prison retires, his replacement is young and handsome and well to be blunt hotter than hell. Let's face it almost a year without a man and then being faced with a perfect specimen is enough to make any girl squirm with want.
Trent knows he shouldn't have feelings for an inmate. It's a sure way to end up unemployed and discredited. There's just something about Mia he is having trouble resisting. She doesn't seem guilty of the charges against her yet she doesn't proclaim her innocence like so many others.
An fun and sizzling read with some creative ways this couple manage to get together. Everything leading up to life changing decisions for both of them.
Forbidden In-Law:
Now before you say anything this series is FORBIDDEN so if you can't deal with that don't bother reading any further.
Natalie is a baker, but she really wanted to do some sort of pottery, but the town she's in doesn't have much in the line of arts and crafty stuff. At one point, after her husband's death she thought to move possibly move and start over somewhere. Unfortunately her late husband's alcoholism left her with no money and a house that is falling apart.
Her mother-in-law Dina, in an attempt to be helpful, calls her ex-husband and reveals Natalie's plight. His guilt over not being around for most of his son's life has him coming to her aid.
Now the attraction Natalie feels toward Vincent has her questioning her own motives, as does Vincent since the feelings appear to be mutual.
Plenty of twists to get to the very hot scenes. While this wasn't a favorite for me, the whole alcoholism and the marriage time line bothered me. It was very hot and sexy and very much the forbidden relationship Carmen was going for.
Forbidden Marriage:
Beck Anderson has driven Clarissa Garubo from New York to Los Vegas at her father's request. Waking up with a massive headache he is in for more than just a little surprise. Apparently in their drunkenness the previous night these two got married.
Beck wants Garubo's business and if he gets the contract he will become a partner in his firm. Clarissa wants control of her mother's legacy, Jewelry design, the legal end of her father's business.
When her father walks in on an intimate act between them he goes ballistic, but manages to calm when he finally hears they are married.
Lots of twists and turns in this one as each of them work toward their goal, with plenty of white hot intimacy and a burning question of whether they will divorce or stay together in spite of the age difference.

Forbidden Series Box set is full of drama, humor, surprises and forbidden steamy romances.
Forbidden Virgin:
Although this is a short novella it had everything you want in a book. A hot sexy older man, a strong beautiful young woman, hot sex and a sweet romance. This book is well written with well developed believable characters. I loved the interaction between Kate and Graham. Kate was determined to get what she wanted and her seduction of Graham was not just sexy but playful and humorous as well. My only complaint about this novella is that it wasn't longer.
Forbidden Inmate:
This is a sexy short novella. Ms. Falcone writes a prison love story in a different way. Usually it's a male inmate and female prison worker, but this story was refreshing. A quick, sexy, steamy forbidden romance. Will Mia and Trent get their HEA on the outside? I look forward to reading more from this author.
Forbidden In-Law:
Forbidden In-law is a quick sexy read about Vincent and Natalie. This is an original story line about a widow falling for the father of her dead husband. Carmen Falcone has written another great novella full of drama, laughs, hot sex and twists that keep you turning the pages.
Forbidden Marriage:
The novella is about the daughter of a mobster marrying his lawyer in Vegas after one wild night. He never planned on getting married so imagine his surprise when he wakes up with his boss's daughter as his wife. Great writing, interesting characters and a twisty story line that pulled me into the story.
