Is this a 4 star literary classic... nah, no it's not.
If you're looking for a 4 star hotwife/cuckold/erotic reading adventure... I'm thinking this may deliver.
Good writing, steamy sex scenes and Mr.Wright actually took the time to throw in a story.

The Most Glowing Review I’ve Ever Written.
I’m sure my review will not do this book justice. But I’ve got to try.
Firstly, if you are familiar with my reviews you know I’m not afraid to express my displeasure with an author’s work. I’m not a gushing fan of all Kenny’s books. I said all that to put the following comments in perspective.
This book played with my emotions more than any I can recall. I actually had to take breaks along the way. He had me nervous and apprehensive as to where he was taking the story and characters. For me, the tension and suspense was palpable at times. Again, if you’ve read my reviews you know I abhor hotwives who cheat, lie, disrespect or cuckold their husbands. And some of Kenny’s books go there. As the story progressed I was nervous he might take Katie down that road.
I’m a sucker for couples committed to their marriage and genuinely in love while they explore their sexuality. Kenny convinced us that Katie and Max were one of those couples. But again, he kept teasing us that Katie might go off behind her husband’s back. He did a masterful job of keeping you wondering right to the end.
The character development is thorough without being tedious. They are all likable and easy to identify with, (except for Greg and Chole and even they are delicious as proper villains).
Katie’s slow evolvement into an uninhibited sexual woman is as one would expect in real life. I want so bad to tell you about the ending but I’ll refrain. I’ll just say it is satisfying and hot as hell.
In my opinion, and coming from one who has read all the best authors in this genre, this is at least one of the best if not the very best. After finally calming down I admit to thoroughly enjoying this book.

Many of the cuckold stories I read are told from the woman's point of view. It was kind of thrilling to read about a man aroused and terrified by his desires, often not knowing what was going on. The conclusion to the story was quite suspenseful. I can't wait to read the sequel.
(One thing, though: there were a few spelling and other errors. For example, one is "poring over" reading matter, not "pouring over" it.)

This is a terrific book that has been on my list for a long time but I never got to it. The story has a true plot, interesting characters, lots going on, a twist at the end and lots of hot scenarios. The writing is very good as is the editing. There is a sequel which I am looking forward to reading and see where the story goes from here. That's it, no spoilers but a recommendation to read it if you enjoy the genre....

Look, I went down a 'hot wife' rabbit hole one day and this one was pretty damn good.

Incredible - what a ride. This is almost more like an erotic thriller than straight erotica, it’s a little more plot-driven than the author's other, more character-led stories, which for me made it even more exciting, particularly in the breath-taking last third.
It’s the story of a bar owner who stumbles onto the concept of wife-sharing quite by chance, but as he decides to pursue it and introduce it to his wife, he finds himself losing control in a shocking manner. While he finds the idea of his sexy other half straying into the arms of another man a thrilling prospect, he is taken for a ride by a machiavellian villain who could just wreck everything, including his marriage.
I’ve become a big fan of Kenny Wright this year following the superb Just Watch Me, but this has been my favorite so far. I couldn’t put it down for a moment, and as I read the second half, I swear I was shaking a little. Once again, wonderful characters, particularly the villain of the piece, great pace and slick writing, with a fully satisfying ending.

this was a very good read...nice to have another book full of husbands angst...and this built and built... to a good ending!..good storyline and characters built in !.
wont say much but just to say that the wife katie was given freedom to play about and...she took it!.with help from a long time swinging couple.it does have some dark parts in it....which I love in these type of books!
just one thing I noticed, when Chloe told max that Katie and Greg hadn't been just meeting for lunch but doing more..was it one of her lies or was it true?.if she had then this changed the whole mechanic of things ..as everything else got explained but that bit didn't!...I have read the follow up..and my review is on that page!
as for this its a very good read!

He’s A Great Writer, Again
A very nice story, interesting and different. Not your usual hotwife/cuckold tale, but the twist is fun and entertaining. If you want your sex to really come from a story that you’ll enjoy reading, then get this book and read this author.

When I read this story, I never once wanted to check on my wife.
A lot of pages that led me to swing sex of three married couples.
I'm tired of swinger parties in real life.
The transformation of Greg from a strange cuckold to a tireless stallion with a huge cock
is not clear to me. How much did the author come up with? Did you like it?
I was waiting for Chloe to introduce Katie to the best stallions from her stable.
Chloe is the character that I liked. She knows what she wants,
she's not afraid of it, she gets it.
The sweet pill for me is the selection of actresses for female roles.
The author always invites very beautiful women to his films
and it's nice to dream about them. Without it, there would be two stars.
For me, the topic of "Reluctant Cuckold" is more interesting,
you can recommend it to me.

I read this one after training to love it. Even through I should have read this first, as it is closely related to my most favorite trilogy, training to love it. This is another solid work—great plot, relatable characters, great story telling and pace, hot sex scene, and great writing. I think I have a narrow taste at this moment. But he knows how to push my buttons.
This is probably his early work, I can see the similarities and improvements in training to love it series. Kenny wright definitely has a pattern. You can tell from the way the characters talk, the way the plot development, etc. I would still say this is one of my favorite.

this is the first cuckold style book and I was impressed. the characters are believable and well flushed out. the story takes a good deal of time exploring the emotional side of the relationship as things progress while keeping the characters believable. that being said the plot is a little less believable and is definitely used as a tool to explore the main characters emotional journey. That being said the book does not shy away from the more provocative elements with a focus on the anticipation it can make the scenes incredibly stimulating. all in all the books short length and way above average character development makes this a great choice for people wanting something more adventurous than the average erotica.

Titillating
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. This is the third Kenny Wright book I’ve read and I’ve found that he does a good job of making the characters real, not cardboard. In fact, the more real he makes his characters— especially the narrator’s wife— the more stimulating the story. I found myself wanting to get to know the wife better and wishing he could have developed her characters more deeply. Bottom line: great read! Keep up the good work!

Hmmm, this book was written by a man & it shows. Not too keen on the fantasy that turns this guy on either...its rather one-sided made to look as if its what both characters desire. Naturally a avenue is created for this to take root but it does not flow authentically. Its masked & that puts me off personally.

July 23, 2022I just could not continue with this book when I realized I was looking at a plot that involved a manly loving husband wanting to watch his wife fuck other men. So unreal and too painful to contemplate.
If it was a wife swapping theme I would have pressed on.

I'd read two strong Kenny Wright stories that in the end lost track of their emotional stories and went over the top.
"Something Forbidden" pretty much does everything right. We have a hesitant couple exploring step by step the possibilities that the husband might enjoy it if her wife has a good time with other men. This is told against the background of two characters with jobs that feel authentic. There's a nice back and forth as they negotiate how they feel and how their new adventures works for the marriage. There are some nice tensions created by a femme fatale character who I wish hadn't turned into a cardboard villain at the end. But this is one of the best works I've erotica I've read in my recent exploration of the genre. The fact that it's written as a romance, taking time with place and character, helps the story, and it makes the sex even that much more exciting.
There's a lovely sex-scene epilogue, but the key emotional story was over before it takes place. Maybe I'll find the Kenny Wright novel where the ideal climactic sex scene is also the emotional climax of the story.

The thing is, Kenny Wright is an able writer. The other thing is that too much of his writing is Hot Wife erotica. Case in point, Something Forbidden. A comfortable couple, a steady safe marriage. Then one night, the husband watches as someone else’s wife plays herself into the hands and bed of another man, while her husband watches with evident approval.
We already know this will be a Hot Wife type erotic story so the spoilers are already understood. The difference is that in or out of the sex, Kenny Wright can keep your attention. There is more plot than just the usual negotiations and anguish. There is the fact that there is craftmanship in the writing. The result is that Forbidden is longer than the too typical 30 page once over and worthy of a second look.
I suspect that Mr. Write is writing to a mostly male audience and mostly one with at least some thoughts of watching. Given his abilities, I hope to see him expand his shelf to include more than this one niche market.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well written, interesting a realistic plot. I like the slow build to opening things up. I'm often annoyed that authors jump from we could never to this is our life now too quickly and without any character growth or conflict. Kenny Wright does a great job in this book describing their progression.
Spoilers:
At first, I was annoyed that the reader doesn't get to see Kate's first experience and relish all the details. But, in hindsight, having Max overhear her talking about it was hot. Despite their fantasizing and role-play, I do think she should have been a bit more concerned about his reaction when she actually crossed the line.
I also wish Max and Chloe actually hooked up. It's weird, I enjoy hotwife erotica, but in the end I also want the guy to open up and play with other. Just hate him being left out. Yes, he gets to hook up with Nadia, but the only "Something" that is actually forbidden seems to be him hooking up with Chloe.

Rumbling, bumbling, stumbling…
Something Forbidden was one of author Kenny Wright’s early novels. Published in 2013, this book wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good, either. The characters weren’t especially appealing. The story rambled. And the spice scenes turned out to be silly, not erotic. However, Kenny Wright has gone on to write better novels and novellas in the hot wife genre, so if that’s your thing, check out his more recent releases.

A Smoking Good Read
Katie & Max find their way despite some blistering challenges that may sink a less committed couple. It's edge of the seat stuff with deliciously tasty details from start to end with strong character development. Plus a couple of nice unexpected surprises along the way. Looking forward to what's next for these two.
