THE FORBIDDEN CLAIM is the story of a seedy underworld and how it affects different people lives and how those lives can become intertwined with one another.
Jinx Collins is a US Marshall who finds herself involved in a human trafficking ring almost by accident. Jed Kane is fully immersed in the world of human trafficking and he is there completely by choice. Jed has been working undercover for an unknown agency for years trying to rescue some of the victims of human trafficking. When Jed and Jinx cross paths they discover that they share a dark past. What they need to discover is if that past will keep them from also sharing a future.
This story and it’s characters were told in depth and with great emotion. The weaving of the plot to include the past and the present was done very well. The author did a great job of portraying the emotions that a past trauma can cause, and how those emotions can effect every aspect of your life well past the time of the trauma. The story also has to explore the emotions that are associated with making tough choices that don’t always result in a happy ending. Jinx has to deal with the struggle of not remembering her past but knowing there were important people and events that have shaped her. Jed has to deal with his work and the secrets he keeps making him feel like he is not deserving of happiness. Together they uncover some of the secrets shrouding both of their pasts and work to recover from the emotional damage that has been experienced.
The story was mysterious, steamy, and fast-paced. I enjoyed both the plot and the characters. The author wrote about the good and the bad and did not try to sugarcoat or downplay the darkness of human trafficking. Great read.
