Thank you Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was an enjoyable book.

Legacy and Second Chances
Reid is a man who is trying to control every aspect of his life, family, and business, against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Blair, acquaintance of the family and aspiring big-time interior designer, is not in his plans... except.

The story is a quieter conflict, with both characters fighting internal battles more than confronting an external obstacle. A few times, narrative continuity slips amongst all the internal dialogue. Steamy scenes are steamy, and both main characters get a chance to act doltish and then ask for grace. 3.5 stars.

Blair is a take control woman who knows what she wants. Thinking Reid will agree to her terms for an affair was the easy part not falling in love is the real kicker. When things begin to change for Blair she has her heart on the line now and knows she's is going to get hurt. The book was easy to read it in a day nice getaway fo a few hours.

Forbidden to Touch by JC Harroway is a short steamy romance that was entertaining enough but failed to engage me in any real way. I happily read the whole thing in one sitting during a rainy afternoon in lockdown. It kept my interest with great sex scenes and interesting characters but it was lacking in chemistry and real depth.

Wow... wow..
I was not expecting this book to be a smutty as it was.
I was expecting far more plotline and about the interior design of the hotel.
So needless to say this book was not for me.
I like a more plotline along with some sexy times.
Sorry this one wasn't for me.

Blaire knew Reid since she was young. Reid was 10 years her senior and she always had a biggest crush on him. When she went to see Mr. Faulkner, she never thought she would meet Reid. Will Reid honor her contract with his father? Now she is all grown up and needs her business off the ground with this job.
Once they decide to work together, sparks are flying. Both have been burned before, will they give each other another chance at love.
It was quick and steamy read.
Thanks to Harlequin Dare and Netgalley for ARC for exchange for honest review.

3.5 Stars Steamy, and Entertaining!!!

This is the my first time reading anything by this author, and this was an enjoyable read.

This is the third book in the Billionaire Bachelors series, and the story of Reid, and Blair. Blair has always had a crush on Reid, but he was older, and off limits. But fate has stepped in, and brought them together, it's now ten years later, and the attraction between Reid, and Blair is still as hot, and steamy. This was a quick read, emotional, sexy, and romantic. 3.5 Stars

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity to read and review this title.

However, I was not able to finish this as I was not able to connect with the story and the way the characters were written.

I have chosen to mark this title as a "DNF" and I apologize for the delay in sending this response to this title.

Thank you!

A steamy romance that has characters you can relate to. Blair has always had a crush on Reid but when she finally gets her chance with him will he meet her expectations? This couple is worth rooting for and hoping for a happy ending. I enjoyed this book, it was very engaging. I am grateful to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you net galley for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Hot, Steamy, love! This couple has so much Chemistry it is dangerous!

Forbidden to touch by J.C. Harroway is wonderful!! I loved the dynamic between Reid and Blair. The sexy heated banter is inspired. Will Reid let Blair redesign his hotel? Will Blair get to live her fantasies of being with Reid her teen crush?

This is the 3rd book in the series of brothers. I have not read the others but was able to keep up pretty well with everything going on. But I’m sure the other 2 books are just as great!

Find our in Forbidden to touch!

As part of the Billionaires Bachelors series this is a great story about family friends who are thrown together by circumstances. Likeable main characters, quick read, thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended for the Dare Series and for the Billionaires Bachelors story. Great plot and it's made me want to look out the other two books.

A steamy read with interesting characters. Reid had to run family business because his father's health issue, and Blair, Reid's family friend had to fulfill the contract that signed by Reid's father. And the romance ensued.

A good read in the afternoon.

Thanks netgalley for providing the arc

Reid is now running the family business due to his father's health issues. Blair has come to work due to a contract she signed with the father. She has had a crush on Reid for years and now she offers a second contract for him to complete her sexual fantasies. This book is steamy and emotional.

i had high hopes for this book but I didn't connect with the characters. I DNFed it at 20%. I really tried to give it a try but this was not for me.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I love a steamy romance along with hot scenes that will take me away from the every day to a fictional paradise and this book does it great justice!

Very steamy read, great characters and interesting story overall. The fact that she’s ten years his senior is even better for me as there aren’t many books like this and I was so happy to read another strong woman who will be toe to toe with her lover.
The fantasies, the contracts and everything they go through will keep you wanting to read faster than any other books.


Thanks for the opportunity to read and review to the publisher and author.

Having read Devoted of JC Harroway a few years back, I decided to give her another go. As you can read in my review of Devoted, I was a bit puzzled by JC Harroway's writing. So, when I saw the Dare series on Netgalley I requested Forbidden To Touch. Technically I found that Forbidden To Touch was better than Devoted. The hot-and-steamy-factor was definitely there, but still the story didn't always make total sense to me. Reid Faulkner is shocked to find out that his father's memory lapses are most likely caused by dementia. Therefore, he and his brothers have to step up to ensure the family business can continue before their father makes the wrong decisions or forgets about his decisions all together. Like his agreement with Blair Cameron, the daughter of a family friend, to redecorate one of the hotels.
Reid is suspicious whether Blair has taken advantage of his father, because of his memory issues. Therefore he doesn't really trust the contract that has been drawn up. But when Blair proposes another contract all together, with him and Blair living out her sexual fantasies about him, how can he resist?
The dementia of Reid's father and his memories of Sadie (Reid's ex) and the setup of the contract are a bit strange. However, don't let this get your panties in a twist, because they will get damp in the end. Four out of five steaming stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Age gap romance. The chemistry was HOT between Reid and Blaire!!!

Forbidden to touch is JC Harroway's third book in the Billionaire Bachelors series and it can be read as stand-alone. I wasn't even aware that it was a part of a series until I reached the end of the book. It's a short steamy story ideal for a hot August day. The blurb covers up the story pretty well, so I won't say anything more about these two. I will mention that there is a small age-gap, but it's not a lot of years in my opinion. Both characters are a little jaded because they have been through some rough relationships and that has shaped them in some ways. For a short story, it was good and I enjoyed it, which is why I would recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a quick and hot read! I read it in one sitting! This was my first Harlequin Dare book and I look forward to reading more. This book was full of angst and I really enjoyed the characters and plotline.
