A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

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.

I love the Sinclairs. I pre-bought them and devoured them in one weekend. Jared is the youngest of the men. He's been burned in the past by love, betrayal and tragedy so he's closed off to the idea of relationships. When he comes to Amesport, where he and his siblings all own homes, he does some research on the Sinclair family in the area. In the process he meets Mara who owns a doll shop in town, and lives above it, that she helped run with her Mum before she died a year ago leaving Mara alone in the world. These two need each other for healing, friendship and love but they fight it hard. Jared is a very dominant man and used to having things his way. Mara is the town sweetheart and everyone loves her and her big heart. They connect, sparks fly and the erotic scenes are hot. He's hiding secrets from her, that cause hurt feelings, and just when it looks like things will all fall apart, they find their way to happily ever after.
You can read this as a stand alone book, but I'd recommend the other books in this series as well (in fact the other books by this author in general. J. S. Scott is a wonderful evening of book enjoyment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lost the half star - stuck at a 3
Reviewed in Australia on 18 October 2016

The author lost another half star I'm afraid - I read this directly after Book 1 and distinctly remember that the other H also 'smelled like fresh rain and vanilla' - find another perfume for this one will you!!
And then even more annoying was the slapping around of the woman started again with "Whack! His hand connected with her backside, and he wasn't particularly gentle." Really?? You just go around whacking a woman - and in public - if you disagree with her or don't like what she said?? Then what got me was she justified it by thinking she "maybe had deserved some retaliation" - just for normal verbal teasing?? So it's quite allowable, understandable and excusable if a man retaliates with PHYSICAL against a woman who's made a VERBAL smart remark - and sorry, but the author doesn't cut it with justifying it by saying "he was entirely male"!! I'm more than positive an awful lot of alpha males who are ENTIRELY MALE never ever slap their women around!

I am ALWAYS delighted to read a book by the talented JS Scott, and THE FORBIDDEN BILLIONAIRE was an absolute pleasure to read! Jared Sinclair is as you would expect all of Ms. Scott's heroes to be - dominant, possessive and protective. I cannot get enough of these delicious and swoony Sinclair men!!

I liked this story but the introduction of Evan was distracting. It made Jared seem more like Paris, with Evan being the more sexy Hector from the movie Troy. It was a good read, but Jared wasn't a really forceful character.....except where you would expect it. Can't wait to read Evan's story......just worried he's going to end up with Randi.......what sort of name is that??

The Sinclair brothers are all billionaire-rich, handsome and each talented in their own right.
Each brother's story set mostly in coastal Amesport tells the story of finding the love of their lives.
Elsie and Beatrice are the town's senior citizens and busy-bodies who like to matchmake, especially where those Sinclair brothers are concerned and they make sure they know it!
In this second story property tycoon and builder,Jared meets shop owner and cook,Mara.

Low on angst (maybe I’m just used to highly angst books at the moment) but really emotive story about Jared, the surly corporate ‘bro’ with a jaded look at life/love and Mara the sad but sunshine-y hard up woman with a good idea.

Loved Evan and the side stories just as much as this story - loved that we got insight into what might be happening next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love The Sinclair Series
Reviewed in the United States on 28 July 2015

The Forbidden Billionaire  book 2 in  The Sinclair Series is amazing. From the moment you open this book and start reading you are pulled into the story. Jared Sinclair is a man dealing with a hurtful past, not only from his childhood but from guilt that is eating away at him and has made him hard and distant.

Coming home to  Amesport, Maine, Jared has set some things in motion that he soon regrets, especially since it involves a shop owner, Mara Ross.

Mara is a sweet and kind young woman, who took over her mothers store after she passed away. Without her knowing her shop has been purchased she soon finds herself alone and about to loose everything that she has worked for. Jared wants to come to her rescue, but Mara is unsure why and becomes suspicious of what Jared wants with someone like her.

The scenes with Jared and Mara are funny and sexy, Jared opens a door to pleasure that Mara has never known before. Jared is torn because of the things that he has done, that Mara doesn't know about. She is breaking down his walls and melting his hardened heart and Jared could risk loosing the one good thing that he has wanted in a long time.

I loved everything about this book, we get glimpse of all the Sinclair family and what a strong bond they have for each other. There's another character in this book that JS Scott did an amazing job of adding into to story. The town of Amesport Maine is just as much a part of this book as the Sinclair family. I honestly found myself wishing that I could go there, you'll find yourself laughing at two ladies in this series, Beatrice and Elise. This is a book that I think all romance readers will love, there is laughter, heartache, steam and just great set of characters that you want more from.
