Love On The Forbidden Side

By Mariah Ankenman
Love On The Forbidden Side by Mariah Ankenman digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Assistant District Attorney Julie Ryder plans to hide out at her brother's ranch house in Peak Town, Colorado after a killer she put away escapes. Hoping for a little peace and quiet, what she gets instead is hot and bothered when she discovers the good sheriff is gone, and his sexy best friend is house-sitting.

FBI agent Liam Graham is on medical leave after a career-jeopardizing injury. He's taking the time to rethink his professional choices while watching his buddy's place, but he never expected to watch the guy's sister, too. Julie is a fiery ball of sweet temptation he's been denying himself for years.

When she finally reveals the real reason for her visit to Peak Town, Liam does everything in his power to keep her safe. But with his focus on protecting her body, Liam fears he may lose his heart.

Love On The Forbidden Side Reviews

4.5
“Love on the Forbidden Side is nicely paced, filled with lots of tension and is a great love story. Julie decides to stay at her brother's home (what used to be their family home), she's surprised to see her brother's longtime best friend, Liam, there, too. But, now that she's seen him, she's determined to get him into her bed, as she's wanted forever. But, Liam, although he's wanted her forever, too, knows not only is she off-limits, but that she's far too good for him. So, he's just as determined to keep his distance from his best friend's little, beautiful, sister. I like how organically their relationship changed and evolved, and how thick the tension was, even after they gave into their obvious attraction to each other. I also like how the suspenseful element rode along in the background, never taking over, but never forgotten, either, or fading into the ether the way it sometimes happens in so called romantic suspense. Brother's best friend is one of my favorite tropes, and it's done so well here that I couldn't help but fall a little for this story. Julie and Liam are a great couple, have lots of chemistry, and their story has made me a fan of this series and this author. Can't wait for more! I received an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.”
