People who like Historical romance novels will love this book. Forbidden Shores is a true keeper and another for the long-term keeper shelf.
Night Owl Romance

There’s a sense of intelligence and an earthiness in Lockwood’s writing style that appeal to me, so I really wanted to love this book. The characters, especially Allen, had some depth and dimension; the settings, shipboard and Caribbean, were unusual, and I enjoyed that very much.
Janine, Dear Author

I think many readers will find this one worthwhile. Obviously, the adventurous sex is not for everyone. But in a time when so many romances - and apparently erotica and erotic romances, according to the new ATBF column - seem to fall into the "been there, done that" category, this book distinguishes itself as both different and interesting, and we can always use more of that.
Blythe Barnhill, All About Romance

Forbidden Shores is a story that defies most conventional labeling because it breaks too many rules to be easily pigeon-holed...I'm not saying that this isn't a romance - it is - but author Jane Lockwood happily takes a few turns along the path to the happily-ever-after that most readers may not anticipate... And of course, this story is well written with luscious and elegant prose.
Mrs. Giggles (keeper grade)

Compelling and down and dirty.

About the Book

At the dawn of the nineteenth century two strangers set sail for a Caribbean island where sugar is king and human life is cheap. Clarissa Onslowe, ruined and exiled from her family, with nothing more to lose, seeks a rich protector. Disillusioned lawyer Allen Pendale entertains himself on the long voyage teaching the enthusiastic Miss Onslowe the arts of seduction.

He doesn't expect to fall in love with her.

And Clarissa falls for the man who can meet her price but can't return her affections because he loves someone else--Allen.

The three of them are bound together by love, desire, and jealousy, a fragile triangle that shatters when Allen uncovers a secret from the past.
