"Forbidden Depths" by Meg Carlyle, is a contemporary romance novel that marries love, deception, self-discovery, and environmental consciousness, masterfully weaving them into a compelling narrative that lingers with the reader long after the final page. The protagonist, Lucille DeMarco, embarks on what she believes to be a fairy tale adventure to the tropical paradise of Tucunia, eager to join her billionaire boyfriend. However, the picture-perfect fantasy shatters upon the revelation of deceit and betrayal, leaving Lucille, or Seeley as she is affectionately known, heartbroken. At this point, she crosses paths with Asher, the captivating pro surfer, each nursing their own hidden wounds. The narrative is exceptionally paced, with each twist and turn thoughtfully placed to maintain a compelling momentum. The arrangement of a fake relationship between Seeley and Asher is intriguing and original, allowing readers to witness the evolution of their connection, riddled with shared demons and untold secrets. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, creating an electric atmosphere that adds a tantalizing layer to the story. What sets "Forbidden Depths" apart from other contemporary romance novels is its adept integration of relevant environmental themes. The conflict arising from the resort threatening the pristine beaches of Tucunia elevates the story, intertwining romance with a much-needed discourse on ecological conservation. This serves as a vivid backdrop for the blossoming romance and encourages a deeper reflection on the interplay between humanity and nature. Seeley and Asher's rich characterization and development make "Forbidden Depths" a standout read. Seeley's journey from heartbreak to self-discovery and empowerment is inspiring and relatable, making her a compelling protagonist whom readers will undoubtedly root for. Asher, on the other hand, is not just a mere romantic interest but a well-rounded character whose layers unravel as the story progresses, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. The emotional tapestry of "Forbidden Depths" is rich and varied, exploring romantic love and themes of self-love, resilience, forgiveness, and growth. It expertly navigates the myriad emotions associated with betrayal and loss while celebrating the rejuvenating power of new beginnings and the transformative potential of vulnerability. Carlyle's writing style is polished and evocative, with vivid descriptions painting a lush picture of the scenic Tucunia and creating an immersive experience. The dialogues are sharp and engaging, allowing for a seamless flow that makes "Forbidden Depths" a pleasure to read. In conclusion, "Forbidden Depths" is a triumphant blend of romance, drama, and environmental awareness. It is a heartfelt exploration of love in its many forms and a reminder of the enduring human spirit. With its well-crafted plot, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes, "Forbidden Depths" is a must-read for fans of contemporary romance and anyone looking for a story that resonates with depth and meaning.

Heartbroken, Abigail called off the engagement and left everything behind to start a new life with nothing. At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer. As Abigail begins to fall in love with Sawyer, his childhood sweetheart reappears, causing doubt and confusion for her. *** Excerpt: Whoever this man was, he was her savior. If he hadn’t held her hand and pulled her, she might have become dead meat and gone straight to the afterlife. "Thank you so much, good sir," Abigail said softly as she finally looked up to see him. Abigail was stunned. "But I'm not planning to commit suicide. I tripped over my own feet,” she continued, avoiding eye contact. She stared at his chest—her line of sight only reaching his sturdy chest. “It sounds better to hear that, Miss. Because I don’t want to go to the police station to become a witness, or they might wrongly accuse me as a suspect,” he said with a sarcastic tone that caused Abigail to stifle a laugh. "Sir, I’m so grateful you helped me. You are my savior. I owe you my life—" Abigail paused, taken aback by her own words. How could she make such a deep vow to this man!? This man might take advantage of her if he was a bad person. Right? "Alright, young lady, you’re supposed to release your tight embrace on me. You’re safe now." Abigail was utterly shocked to hear his words. She only realized she was still in his arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and her entire body pressed against him. They were so close—close enough to hear his loud heartbeat. She quickly took a few steps back. _____ Author Novel: 1. DAMN! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (Completed) 2.
