“Do you want to take me?”That’s what she said to me after she stepped out of the pool, skin dripping wet, her body on display to tempt me.A simple babysitting job—that’s all it was meant to be. Show her some element of the life she’d been kept from. But she couldn’t keep her pretty mouth shut when I showed her what she asked me for, and I couldn’t keep my damned eyes off her.Sofia Vico was the … Vico was the one woman no one touched. Forbidden.
I should have stayed away. Should have done as Quinn asked and kept her safe. But I crossed the line and broke the rules.
For her.
“The things I could show you.“
This started out as an act of defiance against my father—a way to finally fill in the blanks I’d lived with my whole life. But the doors to the cage I’d been kept in had suddenly been flung wide open, and I wasn’t ready for the truth waiting for me. Or for Carter Wade.
He was my saviour in the dark, muddied underworld I knew nothing of. A man with skills that both frightened and aroused me. And if I thought scars and guns were the worst I’d have to face, I was wrong. Murder, kidnapping, and a family torn in two was our consequence. Yet he still risked everything, including his life. For me.

What a fabulous addition to the Cane dynasty, I loved it, I couldn’t stop turning the pages. The next generation are getting their turn in the dark spotlight, but Cane and Vico are never far away….
Sofia Vico has been kept locked away from the world in a figurative cage by her very domineering, over protective father, Benjamin Vico. At 19, she’s studied hard but when she’s not even allowed to attend her best friend’s birthday party, she’s finally had enough. She’s desperate to live a life and discover who her really family is, so she runs from New York to Chicago, to her uncle, Quinn Cane. Life is never going to be the same again, especially after she lays eyes on Carter Wade.
I loved Sofia, a character who grew and developed so much throughout the book. Feisty, sassy and determined but laced through with innocence and vulnerability. What a fiery spirit she had though which was absolutely needed to deal with a Cane man.
Carter may not be Cane by blood, but he was Cane in every way that mattered….stubborn, loyal, dark, dangerous, cool and collected, hot AF but with emotions well under wraps, until Fia blew that straight out of the water! I grew to love him more and more as the story progressed, although despite his angst ridden inner turmoil, there were times I wanted to shake him!
“But I’m not ready to see her yet,” I manage to stutter. “Men like us never are, Carter.”
I loved the interactions with all the characters from the previous books, especially Quinn Cane. His relationship with Carter was definitely an eye-opener! This book was action packed, steamy hot, perfectly paced, brutal at times but with real emotion and feeling. Carter and Fia enthralled me from the start, so I really hope there will be more from this amazing world of Cane in the future. Logan needs to have his story told, right?? And you cant leave it like that with Benjamin, can you?
**will get on knees and beg if needed** please Ms Hart and Ms de Lune…..keep writing!!

She wants her freedom. After her teenage years being kept under lock and key, Sofia Vico has had enough. It doesn’t matter what or how much her mother says her dad is only keeping her protected , she has had enough and that means escape. For her escape is running to Uncle Quinn, because she knows he will tell if she asks the questions, maybe.
For Carter Wade, this is all business. Whether it’s the women or the bodies or the men he has to teach a lesson it’s all business. He has after all learnt from the best and has o intention of failing them.
When Quinn puts Carter in charge of Sofia on a trip, everything quickly goes out the window. Protection, wrong words spoken at the wrong time meant that blood, lies and truths are all spilled and this means another war for the cane family.
With this new generation, will love finally move them into new pastures or will the tentative bonds that have held for over 20 years finally break?
Another great story by these two authors. I loved that we saw the new generation of Canes, as well as the older and wiser Canes. I also liked the focus on Carter and Sofia. Interesting characters, even if sometimes they make you angry with their decisions or lack therof.
Reading is a huge part of my life and I spend hours getting lost in stories that bring me so much pleasure. The Cane series is one of my absolute favourites and I had high expectations when I opened my kindle on to the first page of Forbidden Eyes, and let me tell you I was not left disappointed!
This book can be read as a standalone but to be honest if you haven’t read the first three books in the series, you are truly missing out. I adore the Cane family. I will never tire of spending time with Quinn, Nate, Emily and Gabby. All four are formidable characters in their own right and I absolutely loved being reminded just how much and why I love them.
Forbidden Eyes is Carter and Sofia’s story. Sofia Vico is the one girl in the world that no one should dare to even look at…. her family name dictates this. I found Fia to be amazing. I really enjoyed getting to know her and then watch her as the story developed. She intrigued me. She has skills that added so much to the story and I could feel what she was going through throughout the book.
Carter Wade – what can I say about him? He may not have the Cane name but he is family all the same and boy did he steal a piece of my heart just like the other Cane men have. I absolutely loved the connection that Sofia and Carter have. Their story is incredible and it will have you on edge of your seat. I was well aware that any relationship that they may wish to have would be forbidden, but I wanted to see them together all the same, no matter what was at stake…… and there is a lot!
This is a real page turner of a book and once you start you will not want to put it down! The angst, the heat, the joy, the love and the pain are all there for you to discover. I was gripped from the very beginning and have had very little sleep because I just needed to know what was going to happen next. This is one series that I don’t want to end and I don’t say that often. I’m so excited for you to read Forbidden Eyes and I recommend it to you without a second thought because I know you will enjoy it just as much as I have.
