Iris Browning planned to visit her old friend, Sandrine Beck, on the island of Mariposa. It was supposed to be a vacation but now Sandrine is missing and the police aren't overly concerned. Iris meets one man, Maddox Heller, who seems willing to help, although he seems more like a beach bum to her at first. But what happens when Maddox and Iris stumble upon a possible terrorism connection? Maddox has his own dark past; will he be able to forgive himself for what he sees as his past misdeeds? FORBIDDEN TOUCH concludes the trilogy featuring the three sisters with various psychic powers. And wow, did Paula Graves end this series with a bang! The intrigue level is high in this one as the various players all have their own agendas. Paula Graves has quite a few surprises in store for the reader in FORBIDDEN TOUCH. Maddox has a dark past, one that still haunts him. Iris offers him an oasis, a healing touch in the midst of the tropical island. But will Maddox allow himself to accept that he is worthy of Iris and her love? Maddox is one of my favorite types of heroes in a romance, one of those tortured heroes who focuses on the individuals he couldn't save. His heroism reached through the pages as his pain grabbed my heart and twisted. I wanted Maddox to have his happily-ever-after (HEA) and Iris was the perfect one to give it to him. FORBIDDEN TOUCH is a timely and well written romance. I couldn't help but see the shades of the current day events in Aruba and I appreciated the author's sensitive manner in handling this. As always, any book by Paula Graves is highly recommended! COURTESY OF CK2S KWIPS AND KRITIQUES
