Paradise Forbidden by Natalie E Wrye

Title: Paradise Forbidden
Author: Natalie E. Wrye
Genre: New Adult Romantic Suspense/Mystery
Release Date: August 28, 2015
When Trevor Cassidy steps foot on a bus to "Nowhere," Tennessee, he boards with a singular purpose: to leave the life he led behind.
A desolate girl on the ride catches his eye, but he wants almost nothing to do with the ten-foot invisible wall that she's built around herself.
But when calamity strikes deep inside the Tennessee forest, Trevor and the lonely girl, Kat, must learn to trust each other if they want to make it back to civilization intact.
Breaking down Kat's walls will prove to be the hardest thing Trevor's ever done, and on top of that...she's hiding something: something that may threaten their very existence, their dwindling survival.
But how does Trevor uncover Kat's hidden agenda without bringing his own to light?





I nod, never breaking eye contact. And how could I? With Trevor looking at me like that, there’s no chance that I can move, let alone breathe.
Every time our gazes cross, a shift takes place. It moves the air around us: swirling and circling, interlacing and enclosing. It weaves through us, wrapping us to each other: binding us… with this… need.
I can see in Trevor’s eyes all that I feel.
The apprehension. The latent confusion. That undeniable… need.
And there it is again: that needling… annoying… disturbing and somehow strangely consuming sentiment that we need each other. I don’t want to need Trevor. I don’t need him to need me, either.
Whatever it is that exists between the two of us, it is inescapable: invisible but potent. We’re two stars on a collision course, orbiting each other, dancing around another… until the inevitable happens.
A cosmic boom that threatens to rain destruction... or beautiful stardust, and I’m not sure which it will be, so I make a decision right then and right there.
The decision… to get out.
Get out while I still can: while I can spare us both the explosion that is bound to happen. While I can avoid the disappointment that will ultimately follow.
While I can spare myself Trevor’s discovery of my deceit.

My Review

Captivating read.

Mystery.....danger...attraction.... This book has it all. 

I found this book captivating, I was desperate to learn both Kat and Trevor's secret.

I have to say Kat is a not an easy woman, she can change from hot to cold in an instant, she's strong maybe stronger than you think, there's something she says later in the book that I loved but can't share as its a spoiler lol! 

Trevor, his a regular guy, caught in a situation and he's just the type id like with if I was caught in similar situation. His a looker, a thinker and quite a gentleman at times.

When these two first meet they don't really talk, it's all by looks and body language and I found it different but really entertaining. There's a slow defrosting process and they learn to communicate, at the same time we get to see what they're feeling and want to really say as chapters are split between the characthers. 

I loved the different locations the book was set in, made it very interesting. 

Paradise Forbidden is a book that will intrigue you, characthers will frustrate you at times but ultimately keep you turning pages until you know what I do! 

If you find my review a little vague, it's on purpose as I don't want to give anything away.

4.5 star read

Excerpt

It takes me several seconds before I figure out what is happening.
We are off of the highway… or any main roads. I see no street signs or landmarks. Not a bus stop. Or even a cow pasture.
Our driver has gone rogue.I scream at him when the realization hits me.
“Hey! What the hell is this?! Where are we?”
The overweight chauffeur looks at me through the rearview mirror, waving a quick hand. “We’re taking a shortcut that’s not on the map. I’ve been down this way before. Trust me!” he yells across the expanse.
Not like this, you haven’t. This path, if you could even call it that, is a small strip of dirt winding around the base of a rocky, green mountain. We are surroundedby water: above us… below us.
There is a lake that sits directly to our left, nearly twenty feet below. The downpour pelts us with large, sweeping sheets of rain.
What was once, at some junction in time perhaps, a winding slither of dirt is now a sea of mud and rock. And the wheels of our bus hit every jagged edge, every sunken hole. We bobble up and down like a corkscrew.
I glance over at the icy girl to share in this unsettling surprise when it dawns on me that she is still fast asleep, her head tucked safely in the corner where her seat meets the window.
How anyone can sleep amidst this is beyond me, but I think little of it very quickly.
We are in very real trouble.
Our fearless leader seems oblivious to the danger. He heads through the “unbeaten” path at a speed that is too quick, too careless.
The terrain is too rough to take at this velocity, and yet he is plowing ahead with little regard: not for the rain or this impossibly tiny spit of land on which we roll.
We slide a bit on the “road” before regaining traction, and now… I am furious.
I grip the seat in front of me. “Take it easy!”
“I’m taking it easy!” the grease ball retorts. “It’s slick out here, slick! I’m doing my best!”
“Well, try harder!” I bellow, shifting the bag in my seat. I start to take my grey hoodie back off when a violent bump underneath our feet almost knocks me into the aisle. My hold on the seat has saved me, though I thump loudly against the chair in front of me as my bag and I lurch forward.
Icy Eyes is now up, though if you were to judge it by the noises she makes, you would have never guessed it.
Because she makes no noise. She is sitting there tensely, her palms pressed firmly against the back of her own seat and the one in front of her. Her fingers are splayed, white-knuckled against the cushions.
The only alarm that registers from her direction is that which emits from her eyes. They are wide: panicked. Her heart-shaped lips are closed. Her face is stone.
But her eyes? Those eyes. They’re frenzied. Every bit of the emotion that she seems to bottle up is shining right through them. And in a matter of an instant… they’re beaming right towards me.
I’m up and out of my seat almost immediately. God himself couldn’t have stopped me if he tried.
