How can a love to pure be so sinful?

Two siblings, Maya and Lochie fell in love with one another. They had to step up to the role of a pair of parents to their younger siblings. Their father walked out of their lives and their mother was too busy with her new boyfriend and being an alcoholic, she is in no state to look after her children.

Troubles with school. Trouble with personalities. Struggles to keep the family together and home straight. They support each other. Their love grew deeper with everyday that passed by. Their only problem is: They came from the same mother. They had to keep their relationship discreet. They studied the options they have. Where they can possibly go in the future.

They live in hopes that their love would remain.
It does remain but not in the way the planned.
p/s:
If there is anything I would like to say about this book, it is tragic.
I would have given is 5/5 if it weren't because of the ending. I can't help being a sucker for a happy ending. Happy ending for this book is probably if they eventually found out they are not actually siblings that they can just continue loving each other and have children together. Tragic tragic tragic. It is all I can say about this book.

My first read by Tabitha Suzuma. Definitely a page-turner. :)
On the downside, I finished reading this book on a Friday morning before I went to work. I was sooooo low the entire day. Another book hangover..... :|

Judith McNaught's fans must have read this multiple number of times but anyway, here's my little review on this book.

Lauren Danner needed money for her family. Her dad contacted her distant uncle for help. She came just in time for the job. What she didn't know was she was appointed to be a spy on a company which happens to belong to the uncle's stepson. She thought twice about it. She went for the interview at the company she is supposed to spy on; Sinco.

Feeling guilty, she did very badly during the interview to not qualify for the job. Miracle happens right after the interview. She met a little accident where she had the chance to meet the handsome hero in the story, Nick Sinclair (stepson of the distant uncle).

She got accepted for the job she applied for (Thanks to Nick). After some time, she was selected to be Nick's secretary. Both didn't foresee the complications which awaits them. Lauren has been on Nick's side all the while but Nick and everyone else got the wrong idea and sees Lauren as a betrayer. She wasn't allowed in the company's compound. Let alone near Nick.

She went back to her hometown brokenhearted. It took Nick quite some time to realize he had made a mistake.

Beautifully written contemporary romance. :) Very sweeeeeeet. :) A must read for Judith's and romance fans!
