With her wickedly beautiful and sinful prose, M. Robinson enchants her readers on all facets of love from first crush, first love, heartbreak, anger, lust, jealousy, and second chances. She sophisticatedly rivets her readers as she reminds readers there is nothing forbidden about love when it's your heart and true love on the line.

So in this forbidden tale of young love, can two fated mates finally realize that true love isn't meant to be easy?

Forbid Me is the second installment of The Good Ol' Boys Series and once again, readers are reunited with a group of friends who grew up together and had their lives intertwined. Each moment of their life was ingrained and built on their strong love for each other. And so begins the tale when a friendship gets complicated and blurred, when Jacob Foster begins to start look at his best friend's little sister a little differently. When Jacob first laid eyes on Lilian Ryder, he always saw her and treated her as his little sister that is until when he finally saw a young woman standing before him. Soon Lilian Ryder became the apple of his eyes, the beat to his heart, and the air he breathes. So what happens when the lines of what is right and wrong begins to get blurred?

The seven year age gap of Lily and Jacob was one of the biggest factor that stood in their way. It was a constant reminder to Jacob that he's toying and walking a fine line with danger especially when he knows and should be seeing her as his best friend's little sister. But when attraction, lust and love soon begins to take precedence, Jacob and Lily find themselves at a crossroad in their relationship. To start something that could lead something so beautiful. Or take a chance on a love that could destroy years of friendship. As they could no longer deny their feelings for one another, how can something so wrong feel so right?

M. Robinson has truly stepped up and elevated her writing to a whole new level as she delivers a book that was filled with everything that I loved, craved, and wanted in a forbidden romance. Ms. Robinson has sensitively and sophisticatedly delivered a forbidden romance that will set hearts racing as readers realize that the love of Jacob and Lily is something that can't be stopped. I loved that the author was able to make readers FEEL all the raw emotions, heartbreak, and loss of Jacob and Lily as they faced the uphill battle of their relationship. M. Robinson did an amazing job highlighting and showcasing the passion and tangible bond that Jacob and Lily had for each other was built on a solid foundation of love, understanding and respect. Nothing about their love was tainted and forbidden when readers realize, see, and feel their true love coursing through each of the pages. So if you are looking for a book that speaks volumes on love, honesty, vulnerabilities, and second chances then I highly recommend you to read Forbid Me. The only forbidden thing about reading this book is denying yourself to read an epic love story between two fated lovers who were meant to have their lives entangled with one another.
