"SINCLAIR'S BRING LOVE AGAIN TO AMESPORT"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Forbidden Billionaire
J.S. Scott

Romance Contemporary

Mara Ross is a doll maker living in the Ross residence on main Street in the coastal town of Amesport, Maine. Mara is barely making a living in the dilapidated house with a leaking roof. This petite, curvy, sexy brunette shop owner is carrying on the legacy of her mother and grandmother but struggling. Jared Sinclair has returned to Amesport for the wedding of his brother Dante, is very attracted to Mara and has been watching her closely. When he sees her in tears, he follows and approaches her. Mara tells Jared she is being evicted from her home as the owner is going to sell the property and she has no place to go. Tall, handsome, billionaire Jared Sinclair, almost thirty, has no romantic ties. He does not believe in love, is a serious womanizer, with his choice of willing women. Jared knows the women always want something from him in return. He is happy to give them what they want but then it's over and he moves on to his next conquest. He offers Mara his guest house to live in and sets her up in her own business, this time making jams and sauces. The business takes off and so does their relationship. THE FORBIDDEN BILLIONAIRE is overflowing with erotic and descriptive sex. He makes the sweet, sassy small town gal melt and she falls in love with him. Trouble begins when she discovers Jared is the one who bought the house she was living in and planned to tear it down so that Mara would be safe. All ends well and Mara realizes that home isn't a place or a building anymore. It is a state of mind and as long as Jared is with her she would always be home. J. S. Scott tells a sweet story touching on challenging emotional territory. She explores close family relationships that endure because of the power of love. THE FORBIDDEN BILLIONAIRE is the second in the series of the Sinclair's and I plan to back-up and read the first, then move forward to eagerly await the next sequel which I am certain is coming soon.

SUMMARY

All of Jared Sinclair’s wealth still can’t ease the pain from his terrible childhood…or his guilt over a recent tragedy. Unable to forgive himself, the billionaire property investor buries his emotions, toughens his skin, and becomes a notorious womanizer, refusing to commit his heart to a woman when he’s convinced she wants only his wallet. But ever since Jared arrived in Amesport, Maine, he’s been intrigued by Mara Ross, the petite and sexy shop owner who asks nothing of him. When Mara’s store is purchased without her knowledge, she stands on the brink of losing her home, her livelihood, and generations of family history. Then the irresistibly persuasive Jared proposes a business deal to Mara…and soon draws her into a steamy, sensual affair, convincing her that he’s anything but cold. However, when a revelation shakes Mara’s fragile trust to the core, Jared must finally confront the truth about his past. In The Forbidden Billionaire, J.S. Scott brings the next chapter in her passionate Sinclairs series to life.
