FORBIDDEN LOVE

Vanessa Florence Grandeville, a Beverly Hills socialite and infamous spoiled brat, celebrated her 21st birthday with her wealthy friends in Honolulu. By chance, she ran into Michael, a fisherman from a nearby island, the same day. Vanessa humiliated him, but Michael fell in love at first sight.

Vanessa and her friends had rented a yacht for a weekend cruise when complications arose. Their boat capsized in a fierce storm and swept them overboard. The Coast Guard rescued everyone except Vanessa, who drifted away. Michael found her at sea suffering from a head injury and amnesia. He saved her life, but did he deserve to be regarded as a hero?

Unexpected and remarkable events brought their lives together. Was it possible that life played a joke on them? Will these people overcome their differences?

A masterful author, Marissa Marchan, has created a fantastically romantic escape, horrifying, seductive, and suspenseful world that I am sure will excite everyone, not just for fans of YA, criminology, and suspense. I was drawn in from the beginning by this alternate world and the very modern young adults who race through it in this tale of struggle, self-discovery, and perseverance. The characters are compelling and thrilling to follow throughout their life journeys. Terrific read!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this novel given its title, and it indeed starts off with a riff on a cliche. Once I got past that though, I enjoyed the read. The plot had some interesting twists, and the characters were interesting. This is going to turn out to be a good series.

A must well-written page turner involving a socialite, a spoiled brat and her wealthy friends. This book is easy to follow and engaging. Read it this weekend.

It was really hard to like Vanessa at first, but she gets better and her relationship with Michael is sweet. If you like redemption stories and romance, this book is for you. Hang in till the end 🙂

5.0 out of 5 stars This book reveals female nature!

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2019

The same story is told in the movie ‘Swept Away’ featuring Madonna. A proud, arrogant, and merchantile, and selfish woman is placed in a situation where she has to shift her behavior to survive. I really enjoyed reading this book since it gives more time to contemplate about people’s situational behaviors.

‘Forbidden Love (Spoiled Brats Book Series 1)’ is a psychological and romantic work. I am sure women will love this book for a lot of tender and warm moments. On the opposite side, men will discover different patterns of female behavior and psychology throughout the book. This story teaches us that women are highly adaptive creatures. In order to survive, a woman is ready to get rid of her arrogance and pride. However, when she is put in a better situation and she is not in needd for a man anymore, her arrogance comes back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantically Sweet
My Amnesia Girl by Marissa Marchan is an addictive sweet romance that all will love. The characters are charming. A wealthy yet spoiled woman keeps running into a young fisherman who is kind. He falls in love with her despite her not liking him. Two highly different people from two very different social classes are brought together by fate once again. Vanessa Grandeville goes out on a boat with her girlfriends when a storm hits and all fall overboard. They are all safe and found except for Vanessa. Vanessa is missing and it so happens that fate will once more bring Michael, the kind fisherman, to her rescue. He finds her but she has amnesia. The suspense on whether Vanessa or Michael will or will not fall in love together is something readers will have to find out by reading this beautifully written romance. I enjoyed reading this novel by Marissa Marchan and I highly recommend it to readers everywhere. Her writing will lure you deeply into this enchanted tale where love conquers all. Overall, I rate it a five out of five stars.
