Isabel thought her life was on track – she was doing well in school, moving quickly toward her future, and deciding who she wanted to be. Best of all, she’d reunited with Tom, the love of her life. But it doesn’t take long for her history – and his – to start catching up with them, presenting a range of uncomfortable questions. Does he really love her? Are they meant to be together? And what exactly has he been doing in their time apart?

 My Review

I was so glad to be able to get to read the sequel of Sweetest Taboo.  I really fell in love with the characters and wanted to see them again.  This story to me was even better than the first.  I loved how Eva switched up the POVs in this story so I could finally see who Tom really was.  I must say that I really fell in love with Tom in this book.  His marriage and life wasn't as perfect as I thought.  This story was beautifully written and well developed.  I was able to still feel what the characters felt and I loved that.  

Tainted Love  picks up a year late after everything went down.  Isabel has been away at college for a year then goes back home for the summer.  She gets with Tom and tries to work everything out.  Isabel acted so different in the first book.  For her age, she was very mature.  In this book, I really hated some of things she was doing.  Isabel was being so immature.  I felt really sorry for Tom.  After seeing what type of person he really, I am really rooting for them at this point.  

The ending of this book left off with a huge cliffhanger that definitely left me wanting more.  I am so mad and upset with Isabel at the moment.  I love Tom and my heart is really breaking for him.  I am really hoping they work it out in the next installment.  Tainted Love was an enthralled read that had me hooked after the very first page.   Plus the whole forbidden love definitely held my interest.  I am a sucker for romance.  The ending was bittersweet but I am hoping all ends well.  This is a book you don't want to pass up!!!  Loved it!!!
