Review by Gia:
This book takes on the topic of step siblings who are attracted to each other. At first when we meet Sophie she is sixteen and Logan in eighteen. My first impression was that she was to young but no worries nothing really happens while she is underage. Logan is attracted to her and she is attracted to him. The whole step brother thing has prevented Sophie from taking anything further. Some tragic things happen and it puts the whole attraction to each other aside.
When they finally overcome things and let their passions take over, Sophie is upset and she runs. Their paths cross again. Sophie might be ready to except Logan now. But Logan is not the same person. Logan is hard and has is heart very guarded.
The whole step sibling thing didn't really bother me. Logan and Sophie are great characters. They struggle with how to work through their feels and have a relationship. It's listed as book one in the Taboo series and I really hoping that we get more Logan and Sophie.

About the Author Mandy Lou Dowson was born and
raised in a small town in Ireland, in 1983. Family is a huge deal to
Mandy. She has three wonderful children, and a Siberian Husky who
only does what she’s told if there’s something in it for
her. When she's not writing, reading, or plotting her next book -
or, you know, world domination -, she likes to relax with a few
glasses of wine and some karaoke. She has a keen interest in special
effects make-up and is part of a dramatical society which puts on one
show and one concert each year. Mandy started reading at
quite a young age and her appetite for the written word has only
increased with time. It would not be at all surprising to find her
reading anything and everything from shampoo bottles to Edgar Allan
Poe. She is the author of two distinct series of books. The Moon
Bound series, which is in the Paranormal Romance genre, and is
gathering rave reviews, and the Taboo series, which is Contemporary
with a hint of the forbidden.
