*This story gives some background on Brooke Connelly and Dr. Eric Devane which will be important to the next book.The first part of the story starts in 1998 Colorado City, AZ :  There is a hidden commune (The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or FLDS) with a Prophet as the leader, who enforces strict rules, with his God Squad and has lots of sister-wives.  Here we meet Chaz Longo and family.  Apparently, the commune has produced too many men and not enough women to go around. So the Prophet has been kicking out boys for any tiny infraction of the rules.. as what happens when Chaz and Casey go to St. George to get plastic baggies and canning jars..a simple task turning into a nightmare.. Chaz decides to leave before this happens and makes it to Salt Lake City.  He finds a home with Tony and Mellie Sinclair. On a errand he meets Pete Echlin who tells Chaz all about Vegas and his dreams of being a famous chef there. <u>*Just as a side note I'm giving you some names of the characters because it's really important to the story which gets really really TWISTED*</u>We haven't even met the evil Darren Sonsini yet, in Las Vegas, where Chaz and Pete went.  Brooke Connelly used to be a showgirl in Vegas, and worked with Darren, so did Chaz, Pete and another guy Matt.  The boys started working for Darren's dirty side of business instead of the restaurant Renata.  Pete started running special errands and in 2003 Chaz ended up the manager of Darren's strip club the Desert Dune.  Carmen who worked at the club, became good friends with Chaz.  Pete stole money from the club so Chaz got fired and beat up even though he returned the money. Chaz later partnered up with Rina to open a Porn Studio, and used Carmen in their Gonzosmax videos.  Gonzosmax with Carmen was a smash hit, but Darren wasn't happy. Rina wasn't as nice as she seemed....especially being pregnant as a surrogate.  Rina was also best friends with Carolyn, Eric Devane's daughter.2011 Los Angeles, California.. Brooke Connelly... Another escapee from Colorado City.  She had a soft spot for the boys who were getting kicked out.  Brooke created a safe haven for the boys, as well as working to set them up with jobs when she was with Darren. Now at 32 she was manager of Elegance, a high class restaurant and bar.  Brooke had a troubled history as well and Clint Stablerhad saved her when she needed it the most.  He was also her boss and lover. Brooke also had a boyfriend named<strong> Dr. Eric Devane, who was a reproduction specialist. Eric's first wife Claire Ziegler died and left a daughter Carolyn.  Mary Anne Hollister was one of his clients, she wanted a baby at any cost and would dangle a golden carrot of money over Eric....  kind of how Clint dangled carrots over Brooke as well. (Told ya it gets twisted...)  Mary Anne gets Cancer and then wants the baby terminated.. which is not an easy thing to do.  There is murder, brutality, stealing, bribing, and all kinds of wicked games going on and Brooke is the most tangled up in the whole mess from Colorado City to Las Vegas to California, with all the characters from Darren to Chaz to Eric and Clint.It's strange how Brooke seems to be in the center of the mess and moves on to the next book with only Eric, Carolyn, and the mysterious baby from Mary Anne Hollister.This book is awesome, and filled with so many twists and turns.. deviousness, lies and secrets.  No one in this book is innocent.  I absolutely could not stop reading it.  I can see now how little details in this story reach out into the rest of the books, it's really cool how intricate these books are woven.  I could not stop reading once I picked this up.  I suggest not reading "Forbidden and just reading in this order:  The Ties That Bind, Too Little Too Late, No Hard Feelings
