It is hard not to fall deeper in love with Karla Sorensen's writing with each new book she writes. Forbidden strips off the fronts and pulls out the vulnerable like only this author can. Overcoming pasts that lingered in the present, the feelings expressed from Aiden and Isabel moved this story right off the pages and directly to their audience complete with nervous butterflies and sweaty palms.

Isabel and Aiden were compatible and similar on so many levels yet Ms. Sorensen managed to communicate their uniqueness without falling into the trap of creating identical versions of two different characters. The pent up desire between this pair was off the charts. The yearning and awkwardness between Aiden and Isabel was both sweet and painful to watch even while visiting a place most can relate too. This couple was genuine and the pain they carried translated to readers vividly.

There was a beautifully devised dynamic not only between this couple but also between Aiden and his daughter Anya and Isabel and Anya. While charmingly sassy there was a strong undercurrent of poignancy to Anya that often provided a mirror in its transparency to Aiden and Isabel's feelings. One of the best set of nicknames to show up in a story in a long time was the father daughter one in this story!

Karla Sorensen creates works that are gorgeously candid. Filled with heartfelt humor and sensitivity this author provides well-rounded snapshots of her portrayals that when gathered together evolve into amazing stories. The conclusion of the wonderful Ward Sisters series was bittersweet but luckily Ms. Sorensen felt the same and will be bringing to her readers another spinoff from the prolific Bombshell Effect universe in the near future! Forbidden, worth giving in to the temptation and grabbing at Karla Sorenson's fabulous HEA!
