Book Description

Series: Harlequin Blaze | Publication Date: April 1, 2004

Leah Dubois can't believe it when J. T. West comes rolling back into town on his Harley. During their torrid love affair over a year ago, he'd done things to her that no other man ever had before...or ever would again. Only, when she left her husband for him, J.T. disappeared without a word. But she'd never stopped craving his touch....

J.T. knows he has nothing to offer Leah, but he can't stay away. His need for her is beyond control, beyond reason. He has to have her for as long as she'll let him...or until his past catches up with him. Because J.T. is a man on the run. And no matter how much he regrets it, he knows he'll end up loving Leah--then leaving her--again....

He wondered if she had only sex on her mind.

Leah advanced on J.T., her dark eyes all hot desire, her breasts pressing against the front of her blouse, her movements determined and undeniably sexy. She stopped in front of him, then kissed him like her life depended on it.

Good Lord, what this woman did to him. He was standing there drenched in sweat, his muscles aching, and Leah made him forget all of that with one hungry kiss.

"Hello to you, too," he murmured, cupping her shoulders and pulling her slightly away.

She grabbed his hand and started leading him into the house, leaving no doubt about her motivations for being there. It made him a little uneasy.

"Can a guy catch a shower first?" he asked, stalling.

She turned toward him. "But I want you to be dirty." The flush of passion on her pale cheeks made it clear what she meant.

J.T. swallowed hard. Just the passion in Leah’s face made him forget about the work that needed to be done, forget that she’d very obviously come out just for sex.

He loved claiming her sweet body. Loved giving her orgasm after orgasm.

But it was her heart he was after.

And he was afraid he’d never reach it.

This review is from: Forbidden (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am new to Tori Carrington's work, but am glad I found this book! I loved the heroine, Leah. I felt she was a complex character who acted like someone in real life would act. J.T., also was very believeable and the spark and action between these two made me keep turning the pages! I would definitely recommend this book. I kept me so interested that I read it in one sitting

I liked this story. It played out like it could have been a real life story. I think you'll like it as much as I did. The characters are characters the reader will connect with early on.
