FORBIDDEN (Under the Skin Series #2) Stand Alone by Author Charlotte Stein



This is a Stand Alone Book 

SYNOPSIS:

They say I need help. Another exorcism. This is not new. This is my life. Today, I expect to suffer at the hands of a man as warped by superstition and fear as my mother. A man who will torture me in order to save me from things that don't exist.
 
But the man who actually comes to me is different.
 
Killian is good and decent, and he sees what's good and decent in me. And I don't mean for it to happen, but every time he looks at me, his gaze sets me on fire. He brings me to the light, gives me back my life. For the first time, I see a future for myself.
 
A future with him.
 
I burn for Killian-a man who's intent on protecting me. On healing me.
 
He doesn't get it. The only thing that can heal me is him. But Killian will soon be a priest. Untouchable. Forbidden.
 
How can I ask a man to choose between me … and God?
 




REVIEW 4 STARS 

This is a very complex book, it's full of sadness and the torture of a young woman's soul at the hands of her insane mother, who is rescued by a man that has been working towards taking his vows as a priest. Very taboo and I was trying to figure out how does this turn erotic, how is the author going to pull you into that erotic story line with such tragedy at the beginning.

They say I need help. Another exorcism. This is not new. This is my life. Today, I expect to suffer at the hands of a man as warped by superstition and fear as my mother. A man who will torture me in order to save me from things that don’t exist” Forbidden


Dorothy (Dot) has been living in a nightmare with her mother, who believes that Dot is evil and possessed by the devil. Dot is kept from society and basically held prisoner by her mother. She is told that a priest is coming to perform an exorcism, but the man that shows up ends up rescuing her and turns out not to be a priest but intends on taking his vows soon.
Killian is horrified when he finds Dot, it also brings up painful memories of his own past that he still is having a hard time dealing with.


“I burn for Killian - a man who’s intent on protecting me. On healing me.He doesn’t get it. The only thing that can heal me is him. But Killian will soon be a priest. Untouchable. Forbidden.”


Dot and Killian's relationship grows, Dot begins to discover herself as a woman who is filled with passion. Killian begins to question himself, if the road that life has led him on is the right one. I know it's hard to imagine how does this story turn into one filled with passion, but it does there is a lot of dialog between Dot & Killian which draws you more into this book. The sexual tension between them at times makes you feel as though you can't breath. Charlotte Stein has a way of putting words down on paper, it reminds me of an erotic dance. I think Forbidden is one of those books that you have to read for yourself and see how you feel about it, I just wish that it was a little longer.

Hot. Intense. Emotional. Sexy. Charlotte Stein writes provocative erotic romance so deliciously you never want her books to end!
   — New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Monica Murphy



“Stein’s surreal storytelling is elevated to a whole new level of madness with Intrusion…Stein has a delightfully peculiar voice and makes colorful use of stream of consciousness with Beth’s first person point of view. Readers won’t want to wait to see what she does next.”
   — Romantic Times BOOKclub, 4.5 stars Top Pick for INTRUSION
“Charlotte Stein put me inside the heroine’s mind and it was an amazing place to be. I never wanted to leave.”
   — New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tessa Bailey
By seizing on the power of erotic language and allowing it to range from rhapsodic to raunchy, Stein has written a radiant ode to the mind-the biggest erogenous zone of all.”
   — Publishers Weekly (starred review) for INTRUSION

“A short, steamy, moody read that will have the reader taut with all kinds of delicious tension ....”
   — --Jay Crownover, New York Times bestselling author

“Fans...will be mesmerized by Noah’s amazing intellect, social awkwardness, vicious inner strength, and palpable vulnerability.
