Forbidden Fruit: Volume 1 truly lives up to its title and it is a fantastic collection of 10 super-sexy and super-steamy stories in one book!  It definitely left me hot and bothered and requiring a cold shower after reading.Though ALL the novellas were great, "Strictly Off Limits," by Jessica Hawkins truly resonated with me the most and I found myself reading this story over and over to savor each and every word, every moment and every scene of Dean Brittany and Alexandra James' forbidden affair.  I truly didn't want it to end and I was left yearning for more."Alexandra James spends her spring break working for her father's best friend and finds herself in an unusual - but sexy - predicament. Dean Brittany is attracted to his new temp, but 18-year-old Alexandra is strictly off limits."Honestly, I never thought that I'd be so enamored and engrossed with a story that involved a much older man and an 18 year old girl (someone young enough to be his daughter), but Jessica's writing was so exquisite, it made everything wrong about that situation feel so right!  Dean and Alexandra's story was the epitome of "Forbidden Fruit," but just like Adam and Eve, they couldn't resist and they had to take a bite out of that apple! But damn it was so good and worth it!Through Dean, Alexandra was able to feel, learn and experience things she's never felt or done before and yearn for things she never thought she wanted. I LOVED how their story evolved from Alexandra not willing to entertain the idea of an older man in a sexual manner, to immeasurably desiring and longing for his presence and every touch."He kissed me in a way I'd never been kissed before. I was scared for it to end, and when it did, I almost pulled him back." - AlexandraDean on the other hand was the embodiment of an Alpha - so demanding and in control, and although he knew that his actions were wrong, I truly believed that Alex brought out the best in him and made him feel young and alive. I can go on for days about the super-HOT and STEAMY things he said to her that made my heart palpitate to no end, but the hottest line EVER was..."If you were mine. I'd drop on my knees right now and eat your p*&$y like it was my last meal."WHEW...you'll definitely need a cold shower w/ these two.Jessica's story was Phenomenal!! As with her Cityscape Series, she has a way of bringing the characters to life and allowing you to feel their every emotion. Through her extraordinary writing, she makes you change your mind about subject matters you would never in your wildest dreams agree with, but she never fails to succeed.  After reading "Strictly Off Limits," I find myself very accepting of a "forbidden" relationship similar to Dean and Alexandra and I suddenly think it's very damn hot and sexy! YAY to older men!! LOL = )Bravo to all the Authors for an outstanding anthology!! I can't wait to read more when "Forbidden Fruit: Volume two" is released.
