In Forbidden: The Temptation , after a rock climbing accident, Jacob Madison’s life has changed dramatically. Rescued by a group of werewolves, he is bitten and turned into one. It has been a hard adaptation for him, as has life with the pack, and not entirely one he feels is for the best. On one of the pack’s excursions, Jake finds a woman in the snow. This woman, Allison Connelly, has been wounded. Jake takes her back to the camping ground of the pack and nurses her back to heath. As show more she mends and rests, a romance between the two blooms. Jake is at odds with his feelings for her and his werewolf nature, while Allison treads caution after her recent bad break up. But their reservations do nothing to smother the budding passion and the two cannot keep their hands off of each other.

Two of Jake’s pack mates, Ryan and Mireya, are likewise feeling something for one another. Problem for them is that Mireya has been mated to another male-- a very dangerous and murderous were who goes by the name of Devlin. Allison is familiar with this werewolf since she worked with him as a forensic psychologist. Everyone knows Devlin will soon be there to collect Mireya. How are they going to defeat such a strong werewolf as Devil, who has been killing immortals to increase his strength? And can both Allison and Jake look past his werewolf nature to allow a relationship?

This book is steamy and unashamed! I like that there were no cut-outs as soon as the couple got hot and heavy. The plot itself was also very good, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of romance/erotica and paranormal erotica. Jake and Allison pretty much got it on from second one (or three since she had to recover a bit from her accident first), but there was nothing in it that made me roll my eyes and go, “oh yeah, not possible.” The reaction is what typically keeps me from romance-- I can’t stand the clichés. Fortunately, Forbidden: The Temptation had no terrible clichés about it. Just lots of sex, drama, and blood.

So, do Jake and Allison get together? Can the group defeat the powerful Devlin and release Mireya from his grasp so that she can be with Ryan? You’ll just have to read it and find out for yourself. show less

Things progress to where she and Wes fall in love but it seems the fates want to keep them separated or kill one of them.

The story follows through a few near death experiences while Wes comes to terms in believing two siblings (Jennifer and Will) about some paranormal reaper. He has to allow his mind to accept that although he is a psychiatrist by trade not all things are as finite as he thought. The story is well written and keeps you hooked. Between your happiness in some cases fear in other sadness for loss in a few and joy for the ending; you can't help but read it through to the end. Definitely give it a go. show less

Hmmm, I appreciate the irony of the main character in a vampire book with the name Renfield...but this story (which is just part one, apparently) was just too short and too lacking in detail for me to really enjoy it.

Violet becomes stranded on Renfield's private island where he has isolated himself from temptation and humanity. As they become close, they will each have to decide how much of their current lives they are willing to give up to have a relationship together.

Meh...
