Book Description

US Marshall Jinx Collins is an outspoken, free-spirited, and fearless woman. It’s that same fearlessness, however, that tends to get her into trouble. Jinx questions her life prior to being adopted. When those questions lead her to a murderer who’s about to be transported into the witness protection program, Jinx decides to kidnap him to see if she can uncover the truth. Jed Kane has worked undercover in the human trafficking ring for years. When Jed accepts a job to disguise himself as one of his worst enemies and take a ride from the correctional facility to a secured location, he certainly had not planned on being abducted by Jinx Collins. Jed’s uncertain as to how he feels about her touchy-feely hands and loose lips—unsure if they irritate him or if they are awakening his badly behaving desires. Jed knows he must first find out what the fanatical little lady wants with a murderer before he can act on whatever he’s feeling.

Straight away Jinx is attracted to the resilient and enticing Jed Kane—the only man who hasn’t backed down from her candor. While Jinx discovers that the questionable criminal may be able to assist her in finding out the truth about her past, Jed vows to save Jinx from her daring self. Once Jinx starts to understand what Jed feels for her—he wants to own her—she demands that he succumb to the raging frenzy. Jed allows himself to seduce her body, submitting himself to that dominant need. But haunted by a world of unlawful ownership, Jed forbids his cold heart to stake its dangerous claim on Jinx Collins.

Locked away in a dark basement, a little boy is waiting to be rescued—and Jinx’s past holds the key to his prison. If Jinx can finally find the truth which holds her fears, and if Jed can forgive himself for his past, then not only might they be able to save the boy, but they might also discover that their carnal desires really derive from their own prison... an inescapable prison of love.

To My Readers: The Forbidden Claim is a story about a man who for years has worked undercover in a world of malevolence. He's so deep into his cover that when Jinx Collins clashes into his life, he fears he will become the very evil he's been fighting against. Jed wants to own Jinx, and in his heart he knows that is forbidden. He surrenders to his badly behaving desires and allows himself to claim ownership of Jinx's body. But Jinx wants him to take ownership of her heart. By the time I finished this story, Jed Kane had broken my heart more times then I'd like to admit, but in the end I still fell in love him . . . I hope you do too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting and Erotic June 29, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
"I am completely floored by this book and could not take my eyes away from the pages once I started. This Forbidden Claim is a suspenseful and erotic story with moments that will grab your heart and squeeze it so tight you won't be able to breath.

Jed Kane is an undercover agent deep within a world filled with the horrors of human trafficking. It is his mission in life to take down every one of the rings buying and selling humans and he carries each loss deep within him. When he is finally getting close to the person in charge of his latest operation, he hits a bump along the way. Dressed as the very man he despises, he is hoping to catch the ring leader but instead he is captured by a sexy young woman determined to get answers.

Jinx Collins finally found him! The man in the picture; Aztec. A known dealer in the business of trafficking humans, she knows he is evil. But that is not why she wanted to speak with him. She wants to know who the girl in the picture is. She knows her from somewhere, and realizes that the woman may be the only connection she has to a past that she can't remember. When she finally gets the handcuffed Aztec to a safe place to talk, she realizes that all is not as it seems. The man is a decoy. A gorgeous decoy that she can't take her eyes off of and there is a connection between them that she just can't deny.

When Jed turns the tables on Jinx, he thinks he has everything going his way. But when she escapes his efforts, he swears they will meet again. He has to know why she is looking for the girl in the picture. The girl that he has been hiding for years. What is the connection between them?

5.0 out of 5 stars Smoldering! June 26, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Like your books hot? Do you enjoy a heroine that is strong, feisty, and not afraid to go after what she wants? How about a mysterious, sexy hero that has his needs and feelings, and will do everything to protect the woman he wants, needs, and soon loves? Here's where you need to check out The Forbidden Claim by Kelly Gendron.

I love this author's voice. Kelly has a way of pulling in the reader to the story and not letting go. The pacing is great, the plot strong, and the sizzling sexual tension? Mmm, one could start a fire with that kind of spark. Jinx and Jed are captivating, and the feeling between them will leave readers needing a cold shower after reading. There's plenty of that, there's plenty of suspense an intrigue. I'm so glad I was able to pick this book to review. Don't miss the chance to get a copy of your very own!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious, steamy, and fast-paced June 12, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
THE FORBIDDEN CLAIM is the story of a seedy underworld and how it affects different people's lives and how those lives can become intertwined with one another.

Jinx Collins is a US Marshall who finds herself involved in a human trafficking ring almost by accident. Jed Kane is fully immersed in the world of human trafficking and he is there completely by choice. Jed has been working undercover for an unknown agency for years trying to rescue some of the victims of human trafficking. When Jed and Jinx cross paths, they discover that they share a dark past. What they need to discover is if that past will keep them from also sharing a future.

This story and its characters were told in depth and with great emotion. The weaving of the plot to include the past and the present was done very well. The author did a great job of portraying the emotions that a past trauma can cause, and how those emotions can affect every aspect of your life well past the time of the trauma.

The story also explores the emotions that are associated with making tough choices that don't always result in a happy ending. Jinx has to deal with the struggle of not remembering her past but knowing there were important people and events that have shaped her. Jed has to deal with his work and the secrets he keeps, making him feel like he is not deserving of happiness. Together, they uncover some of the secrets shrouding both of their pasts and work to recover from the emotional damage that has been experienced.

The story was mysterious, steamy, and fast-paced. I enjoyed both the plot and the characters. The author wrote about the good and the bad and did not try to sugarcoat or downplay the darkness of human trafficking. Great read.
