Review
Forbidden Love proved to be an emotive roller coaster of a read. Following two of my favourite characters, it was so refreshing to discover something different for the finale of this amazing series. It would have been easy, if not predictable for the author to follow the same story structure which we found in the first two amazing books, so offering a deeper story, one with so much more realism and heartache was a bold move, one I celebrated with every word I inhaled.
We still have the wonderful humour and great character dynamics we've come to expect from Lola Stark, yet on top of that, we have a well-executed piece of writing which enable us to see her growth as an author.
A superb final installment.

Excerpt #2:
Chapter Two
Jude
I walked back into the garage and punched one of the big metal tool cabinets on my way past. I sucked up the pain like a drug I couldn’t cope without. Why was she here? There was something about her that was just so alluring. I couldn’t see her without wanting to fall to my goddamn knees and worship her like she was a queen amongst peasants.
I walked back into the garage and punched one of the big metal tool cabinets on my way past. I sucked up the pain like a drug I couldn’t cope without. Why was she here? There was something about her that was just so alluring. I couldn’t see her without wanting to fall to my goddamn knees and worship her like she was a queen amongst peasants.
Suck it up, you pussy! When did you acquire feelings?
Pushing away from the
doorframe at the back of the shop, I trudged outside in my heavy boots, kicking
rocks as I went. I cut off my emotions as soon as I was able. I struggled to handle
these kinds of feelings; they messed with my head and left me making bad
decisions. Decisions that screwed with friendships, families and futures. I
couldn’t have a future with her; it just wouldn’t be good for anyone.
Sitting at the bar stool, I pulled Haven between my legs and
moved my hands to run up her silky legs, stopping at the bottom of her tight
black skirt. Her arms came up and circled my neck as her head came down to my
face. My fingers teased the skin at the edge of her skirt as she pulled my
bottom lip into her mouth and sucked, tearing a growl from my throat. My
fingers stopped their progress and dug into the skin of her legs, pulling her
tighter to me and deepening the torturous kiss.
In response, her hands dropped to my shoulders, her nails
close to breaking the skin through my t-shirt while my fingertips ghosted over
the curve where her legs met her luscious ass. The tightly wound restraint I
had been keeping snapped, and I swiftly stood, picking her up. Her legs
instantly wrapped around my waist and I took a few long strides to the edge of
my workbench where I set her down, then pressed hard against her core and
ground my hips. Haven’s hands tugged at my shirt ripping it over my head as I
ran my rough hands higher and higher up her soft thighs until I hit the sweet
spot. She moaned just as my mouth came down, devouring her like the starving
man I was. She was my drug of choice. Her taste, touch and smell I just
couldn’t get enough of it. I couldn’t get enough of her, and I didn’t need it
either. Haven would always be exactly what I craved.
“Dude, snap out of it.” The
voice broke me out of my reverie and yanked me back to the present. Goddamn it,
I did it again. I’d been slipping into memories of Haven for weeks. I just couldn’t
get her out of my head. It was fucked up, messy and it left me in a piss-ass mood
for the rest of the day.
Why’d I have to fall for a girl I can’t have?
That’s how it always worked though, right? The guy loved the girl he couldn’t have.
Then the poor bastard pined for her for all eternity and was unable love anyone
like he loved her. He’d end up miserable and alone, simply because a
relationship would be selfish and do more harm than good to the people they
both loved. Scrubbing my hand down my face in an effort to wipe her from my
thoughts, I knew something had to give. I didn’t know how much more I could take.
About
the Author
What to say ? Errrr…
Lola hates all things sultanas.
Lola is a little strange and unusual.
Lola has no brain-to-mouth filter
(this may or may not have gotten Lola into trouble – repeatedly).
Lola is keeping Coca-cola in business one 2lt bottle at a time.
Apparently, Lola likes to talk in the third person about herself.
This here is what my profile says everywhere: Lola Stark lives in Australia, Is an at-home mummy with no filter, raising a hoard of minions. Lola has loved to read for as long as she can remember. When not wrangling the children, she can be found sitting at her computer, writing, facebooking or just generally messing around. I know, I know third person again.
