The Deliciously Soapy — But Substantial — Supermarket Saga Of 'Forbidden Hearts'
The provocative and scandalous nature of Romeo and Juliet (Think the Leonardo DiCaprio version) meets the infamous Cellino and Barnes breakup in Alisha Rai's buzzy Forbidden Hearts series. The premise is basically one stop away from becoming a daytime soap opera (that I'd undoubtedly watch, mind you): After a horrible family tragedy, the Chandlers and Kanes, two family dynasties in upstate New York, become sworn enemies and quickly dissolve their co-owned chain of grocery stores. Their strained relations are integral to the plot, yes, but if we're being completely honest, all that bottled up anger really builds as sexual tension among the series' three couples — and culminates in heart-pounding and stomach-tingling love scenes.
