Synopsis:
It started with a drink. It turned into a promise. Ransom Scott lost his heart the day the woman he loved chose another man. Or so he thought. Estranged from his brother, distancing himself from the world, he’s been drowning his sorrows in cheap booze and women…determined to forget. His world is falling apart, until a beautiful woman decides to take a chance on him. Dani Deviche is as bewitching as she is innocent. Full of youth and vitality, she captivates him. Challenges him. She’s everything Ransom never thought to look for in the opposite sex, and he can’t get enough. When a promise of friendship turns into something more, can Ransom fulfill his end of the bargain, or will a secret from Dani’s past destroy his last chance at happiness? **Author’s Note** This book was written as a compliment to the Forbidden Trilogy. However, it can be read as a standalone.
Review by: Tatia
I was so excited when I heard that we were getting Ransom's story. I loved the Forbidden Trilogy, but at the end of that series, I was left wanting more. Thankfully, J.C. Valentine heard our pleas and cries for Ransom's story! She most certainly delivered!
The battle over Josephine really took its toll on Ransom. Losing something that you put so much effort in to fighting for damaged him. He was down in the dumps with nothing in the foreseeable future to dig him out. At least that's what he thought.
Dani is fresh out of a relationship. One where she played her own part in it ending. But if she had to choose again, between her values and it all ending, she wouldn't have changed a thing. Now she has friends pushing her to get back out there, sample more fish out there. It's not her ideal plan. She'd much rather watch Netflix and relax at home, but if she had done that then she would have never locked eyes with the pained, damaged ones that completely captivated her.
I feel like Ransom made so much progress in this story. He grew and matured. Regardless of his age, he still had a lot of that to do. Dani helped him see that. This isn't to say that they locked eyes and it was all smooth sailing from there on out. It was still a bumpy ride. It wouldn't be a true Scott family story if it wasn't a little dramatic!
I loved it all! The ending was as perfect as they come.

Review by: Kim
I am so happy that JC Valentine decided to give us this installment to this series. I'm sure I'm not the only reader who was curious about our sexy professor.
Ransom drowning in a bottle of booze to forget the hurt Joe caused him was a bit of a surprise; though typical of most men.
Ransom wasn't looking for anything or anyone. And that's when he got blindsided by Dani.
She's sweet, sexy and sassy enough to capture Ransom's attention.
He knows she's too sweet and innocent for her. She can't believe that a man as breathtaking as the professor would give her the time of day.
A rough first night shows the couple that maybe there's something between them.
A bargain is struck between the couple. Two meddling mothers, a secret that's a bit too close for Ransom's comfort and hurt feelings all conspire to keep them apart.
Question is...Can Ransom really move on? Will Dani help the professor heal or will she damage his heart even more?
Forbidden Valentine is a light, refreshing read about love, loss, forgiveness and the ability to recover.
Thank you again to this author for a wonderful end to a great series.
