Summary: A loving romance between two good friends
Review: A title like "Forbidden" immediately brings to my dirty mind either a) a sordid extramarital affair (something I definitely do *not* want to read about in my romances) or b) some kinky sex (something I really wouldn't mind reading about :). This love story contains neither scenario. What it does contain is a healthy and loving relationship based upon years of friendship and trust. This is exactly the type of love story that I love most. Police Office Josh has been love in with Paige for ages but it was his best friend Anthony who won her heart and her hand in marriage. He has since settled with becoming Paige's good friend and has kept his unrequited love for her a secret. When Anthony is murdered and Paige's life is put in jeopardy Josh risks not only his life but his heart when he goes under cover, posing as her lover, to keep her safe. The mental anguish facing both of these characters is deftly drawn and makes them both very easy to empathize with. Both behave like adults throughout the story and neither are arrogant fools (like far too many romance characters) and can admit when they are wrong. I really liked that about these two. Josh is simply one of the kindest romance heroes that I've come across, wearing his heart on his sleeve but he never losing his sexy "edge". While the romance is strong the same can't be said for the secondary suspense subplot and the dull, stereotypical villains. Fortunately, this subplot never overshadows the romance because the couple remain together throughout it. If you're in the mood for a tender love story between friends you shouldn't miss this one.

Review: Denison demonstrates award-winning talent in capturing attention from page one and drawing her audience into the realm she creates by caring about her characters. Serious and motivated, these are people who live for a reason. This author's passion is contagious. Another success for Temptation's Blaze.

Review: FORBIDDEN is a sensual book about a healing unconditional love. FORBIDDEN is an engaging read and one which I recommend if you can't resist strong, sensitive heroes. Josh is one of the sweetest romance heroes I've ever come across. He's sexy, supportive, patient, tender and wears his heart on his sleeve. He's not afraid to confess his love even though he knows it may not be returned, and he's even willing to give up the heroine if that's what she wants. He's, in a word, wonderful.

Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: I have read all of Janelle Denison's books and they keep getting better. This book was the best yet. Josh is strong, sexy and so in love with Paige. Paige loses her husband and finds out just what type of man, he really was. She has always had feelings for Josh and now they finally get together, and the fireworks start. GREAT BOOK. A MUST READ...

Summary: A must read!
Review: Occasionally the Blaze books, billed as red-hot reads, live up to their advertising. When intimacy occurs between consenting adults, emphasis on the *adult*, when that intimacy is coupled with caring, tenderness and a desire to please the other person, then more than a BLAZE is started. Thing conflagration . . . forest fire . . . volcano. FORBIDDEN is a suspenseful, sizzling story that merits each of its four hearts. This book will put a zing in your steps.
