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.

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

This entire book centers around the little town of Amesport, Maine, which is the principle home of several members of the wealthy Sinclair family. Jared Sinclair is a billionaire with a big heart, and a heavy sense of guilt that is weighing on his conscience. He feels responsible for the deaths of two people who meant the world to him, and he has never forgiven himself.

Mara Ross owns a doll shop in Amesport, a business which was left to her by her grandmother. Her family has lived in Amesport for generations, and she can't imagine living anywhere else. Sadly, Mara has just found out that the old building which houses both her shop and her residence has just been sold. Consequently, she will have to move out.. Jared secretly admires Mara and longs to know her better, but he elects to just watch her from the sidelines, never letting her know how he feels. These two lonely souls finally get together, and it isn't long before they both develop deep feelings for each other. Jared wants nothing more than to take care of Mara. But he's finding it very difficult to trust in love again after having once being betrayed. Mara fights her feeling for Jared, telling herself it's only physical. She's not sure just how much he really cares for her, and she doesn't want to run the risk of a broken heart if he decides to end their affair.

Unfortunately, old and faulty wiring cause a fire in her building and Mara just barely manages to escape with her life. Now she needs a place to live, and Jared conveniently has a guest house. Hmmmm. She decides to give up the doll making business after the fire, but what she really wants to do is to own her own catering business, and so Jared offers her a business proposition.

Enter Jared's older, protective brother Evan who does not want to see Jared betrayed and hurt again, like he was by his last girlfriend. So obviously, he is suspicious of Mara, thinking she is only interested in the "Sinclair money." Wrap all this up in a family wedding, in which ALL of the characters are participating, and it makes for a very interesting story. This is a definite "recommended read."

I love Ms. Scott's writing style and I only have to see her name on the book to buy it. I have read all her prior stories that center around the wealthy Sinclair siblings, who have (all but one) managed to find their one true love, and I am anxiously awaiting the final book which will give us Evan's story. He is the oldest Sinclair brother who, while emotionally distant from most everyone, has always been fiercely protective of all his siblings. So far he has never felt the need for a permanent woman in his life, and I can't wait to see how Ms. Scott manages to find one who will "rock his world." He is way overdue for that experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars And the Goodness Continues
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022

As I started out in this series with Simon and Sam in Florida, heading off to Seattle, to California, to Colorado and now Maine. I've enjoyed each and every story of romance, heartache, kidnapping, sex trafficking, murder, rape, incest that our heroine's have endured.

J.S. continues to keep me locked into her book series.

I knew from the time Jared came to see about his brother, Dante, that there was a reason why he was still hanging around. Loved the tie in of Hope and Jason. Can't wait for the oldest and the orneriest brother to fall next.

What damsel in distress will turn his head. It doesn't sound like it will be Randi or Kristin. But in true form, it will be a troubled damsel no doubt.

Love the happy endings. Hope before the end of the series, that J.S. will give a chapter of all the billionaires and their wives come together for one of their invested charities that was started. You have the one for homeless children, abused and women, that they all (Hudson's, Montgomery's, Colters, etc.) support. I'm missing a few but you know the characters I'm referring to. It could be around the next new billionaire family who's woes come to pen and paper.

Keep writing J.S., and I'll keep reading and dreaming.

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!

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.
