I loved Taboo too. It really caught me by surprise how much I cared for the characters. Too often, novels like these tend to concentrate way too much on the sex and not bother to build the characters properly. Not so with Taboo. I found their relationship believable, and I actually cared what happened to the two. However, I did think it was a little too fairy-tale-ish in the end … though I suppose that’s the nature of romance books

That was one fantastic review Stacy! I love book that really focus on the relationship and character development…no external forces pulling the hero and heroine apart (or pushing them together) except for their own feelings

Stacy – great review.

“…brimming with emotion and angst”? looks that way. I’ve got this book on my TBR pile and after reading your review I’m anxious to read it. I’m not so sure how I’m going to feel about Nathan exacting revenge by blackmailing the woman he professes to love. But It sounds like these two characters do a lot of soul searching to finally ‘find’ each other.

You’ve sold me, Stacy. Terrific review! I love Jenna’s books but I haven’t yet read the books she writes as Jess. This looks like a good time to begin!

Great review, Stacy. I have “Taboo” on my tbr pile. I absolutely loved “Everything Forbidden,” but haven’t had a chance to read “Something Reckless.”
