Forbidden Temptations: A Novel of Forbidden Desire, Dark Seduction, and Dangerous Games
Richard Martin’s life was built on rules—until he broke every single one of them.
It started with just one mistake. A single illicit moment of passion with Rebecca, the tempting babysitter whose allure he couldn't resist. But when Rebecca shows up at Richard’s office, one reckless night quickly spirals into something far more dangerous—because secrets this hot don’t stay hidden for long.
Scarlet Holmes—Richard’s seductive, manipulative supervisor and the boss’s daughter—knows exactly what he’s done. After catching Richard and Rebecca together at the office, Scarlet traps him in her dangerous game of blackmail and control. Now, he'll have to risk everything to keep his secrets buried.
But when Alice, his wife, discovers the betrayal, the last thing Richard expects is for her to demand a taste of the forbidden herself. As fantasies become reality and boundaries collapse, Richard is thrust headlong into a scorching encounter that will either save his marriage—or burn it to ashes.
And Scarlet? She’s watching every move he makes at the office…and she's far from finished with him.

You may think you have read this collection before, and you would be correct except in this case where L.M. Mountford has given us a slightly extended version of each one.
In a forbidden age-gap romance, Richard discovers that his alluring babysitter, Rebecca, has her sights set on him. As she attempts to seduce him, Richard must confront his desires and consider whether he is willing to give in to temptation and risk everything he has. Temptation has never looked so enticing.
After catching Richard and Rebecca together at the office, Scarlet decides to manipulate and blackmail him, determined that she is not finished with him yet. In another enemies-to-lovers romance, the boss's daughter has set her sights on Richard. She doesn’t care that he is married; she always gets what she wants. Will Richard get caught up in her game and succumb to the allure of his boss's daughter? The temptation is undeniably sinful.
When Alice discovers Richard’s dirty little secrets, she wants to explore those fantasies herself. As boundaries blur and fantasies turn into reality, Richard is thrust into a fiery encounter that could either save his marriage or lead to its destruction.
If you're looking for something beyond contemporary romance—something a bit risqué and filled with forbidden desires—then this is for you.
I would love to read something new and refreshing from the master of seduction.

I've read numerous books from this author. I highly recommend this book! I couldn't put it down! It's an engrossing & well-developed story. This is the slightly expanded story about the adventures of married couple Richard & Alice from Bad Boys & Billionaires. Their life is about to change in completely unexpected ways. There's tons of spice. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I can't wait to read what happens next!!!

Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Stand-alone: No
Author: L.M. Mountford
Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️
Spiciness Rating: 4/5 🌶
POV: Third Person Multi Perspective
Main Couple: Richard and Alice
Trope(s): Forbidden, MFF, Age-Gap, Love Triangle
I am not normally drawn to the cheating trope, but was curious about the author. So, I decided to unclutch my pearls and give him a go. Both he and Alice are feeling a weird dynamic in their marriage, but haven’t owned up to it. It came across to me that Richard is feeling some sort of inadequacies, especially relating to his job. And, finding comfort in the attention from the younger woman in his life. Richard gives into his baser instincts. Comforting himself with the idea that he is only a man. Alice draws his attention to their young babysitter through fantasy. All the while he is feeling temptation at work with his supervisor Scarlet. Alice is a strong personality and we get that from the start. But, as the story goes on and the truths are brought to Alice she almost finds her domme voice for me which I found intriguing. I am curious enough to find out how the story continues. The sex scenes are explicit, which I am here for.
Richard and Alice met at the University of Bristol fifteen years ago. Taking a step back in his career and starting their family they moved to Gloucester after he lost his job as a junior banker.
Their marriage was beginning to show some cracks that neither one was willing to bring up.
Now Richard is an accountant at Holmes and Raines. His supervisor is the CEO”s daughter who at the age of twenty-three was given the job ahead of many other qualified employees. Rumors run rampant around the office regarding her supposed affairs. She goes out of her way to make him uncomfortable. And, despite still being wildly attracted to Alice, her low key attentions affect him.
At the age of thirty seven Richard is beginning to see his age creep in.
When Alice “innocently” comments on the crush their babysitter Rebeca has on him it seeps into his thoughts. While helping her with an issue the moment over takes them and for the first time he cheats on his wife. And, loved every second of it.
Hoping to return life back to normal becomes impossible when Rebeca shows up at his office with the lunch he left at home.
Then Scarlet calls him into his office to discuss the project he has been working on and to congratulate him on his promotion. And, as a boon shows him a video clip of Rebeca under his desk.
As she begins to taunt him with his infidelity and the status of his marriage he decides it is time someone teaches her a lesson. Never one to be so dominant with a lover he finds himself loving it.
While at home Alice comes to Rebeca’s rescue from her abusive father. Being in close proximity to their young, beautiful babysitter stirs up all Alice’s naughty fantasies. And, the truth she has never shared with her husband.
Finding out her husband’s dirty deeds spilled innocently by Rebeca flares her jealousy, but also something much more dominant.
Opening a door in their marriage.
Only Scarlet isn’t done with Richard yet either it seems…

If you like sex scenes this book has them. Richard or Dick as he is sometimes called, has a small problem with his inability to keep it in his pants. There are three women vying for it, his wife Alice who knows all about it, the young babysitter/ nanny Rebecca who wants to know all about it and his boss Scarlett who wants to control him because of his inability to keep it in his pants.
Dick has an affair with the babysitter, and worries what his wife will do to him, rightly so but things happen and ultimately his wife and he work it out. And he learns things about his wife he did not know so a few extra twists in the family. But she doesn’t know about his boss other than meeting her once and putting her in her place. It’s a very twisted story and very heavy on sex and on punishments that may not truly be punishments but it's in the eye of the beholder.
All in all, a pretty decent book, the mf sex and ff sex and mff sex is interesting and keep the book moving along. Interesting what the next book will bring out.

This was awful!!!! The writing was hard to follow at times. The pieces of plot were all over the place and then just gave up all together. It was hard to decipher whose POV was whose at any given time. The smut was extremely explicit and the form in which it was written, you could tell it was likely written by a man. This was not a book I would recommend, on top of the writing being shoddy, it also needed to go through a few more stages of editing and proofreading.

This book has officially made me hold my breath while reading it. The steam level in this book is off the charts. It is not just the actual steam but the forbidden factor that is added to the steam. I did have to fan my face a couple times. There were also a couple times that I know I turned tomato red in the face while reading. Let's really break this book down without giving a lot away. The plot is there and it really is about finding what makes you feel complete. When you think you have an idea as to what the characters are going to feel or think, you don't. The way you would expect people to react is not the way they do in this book. That added to the story line because it looks turns that I didn't see coming. I haven't read a book with this much steam that isn't a dark romance in a long time. I feel like things progressed at a decent pace and nothing was rushed but it also wasn't lingered on. I hope that makes sense. I did read this book very quickly because it had me on the edge of my seat. If you aren't able to have a really good poker face then I suggest maybe waiting to read this book when you have time to yourself. It will have you blushing and fanning yourself at the same time. I look forward to reading more from this author because the amount of steam and story line are equal. One didn't feel more present than the other and both complimented each other in a way that sometimes gets lost when things get this steamy in a book. It is a must read if you are into forbidden romances and lust/steam.

When I started reading this book, my first by this author, I knew there was cheating involved. It's in the synopsis after all. And if you don't like that type of situation or subject in your stories, then I would recommend that you skip this one. If not, proceed. I usually don't read that trope very often. I have. It's not my favorite, but there seemed to be an added element here, an unspoken twist that was playing throughout the story as I read it. I didn't expect it to be quite like this. It's obviously written by a man, and as a reader, I could tell by the expressions, the OTT perspectives and stamina, not to mention the non-stop salaciousness, that it was going to be very different. Which it was. Not to say a lady couldn't write something like this but there's subtle differences in the way a story is handled.😄😄 I hope that makes sense. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was held back during those intimate times. And they seemed to happen wayy more often than not. Sure. Sure. I think the story lost itself among the gratification. It's filthy and very graphic. Smutty smut on steroids!!😝😂😂 Gross overload.🫢🤢🦠 It was a ménage à trois among other degrading things. It got eeky and became too much for me. It was TOO much!😵😵 I did skim.
Also, it was difficult to get into the story, it's told by 3rd person, and I had to get use to that type of storytelling. No problem. Let's give it a go.
I think Richard was an older man but he was a guy who didn't seem to get noticed or taken very seriously. He flew under the radar. So for him to suddenly be the hottest guy since sliced bread, he seemed under developed for me. Why was he so attractive aside from what he's packing? Was it his hazel eyes? The salt and pepper hair? No idea. I just made that up to make him look good.hehe And his wife Alice, ohh girl. That one has secrets.😹😹 And she still lied. I guess that's marriage for ya. Why was she such a MILF? Aside from being curvy and has dark hair. A twisted bird that can karate chop. Young babysitter Rebecca. That one was all for Mr and Mrs Martin.🙄 Not a single thought for herself. Young and easily corrupted. Let's not leave out Scarlet Holmes. Now she was interesting. A nepo baby who was Richard's boss. Baddd girl. She has a bigger, needy plan. I will not spoil that here. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars, rounded up. For what she's doing. That Scarlet epilogue moment was craazzy.🙀🤪
In the end, this book isn't for everyone. I still don't know how to feel about it. If you want trashy OTT adventures, then this book is for you. Good luck. Happy reading. *•>§<•*🖤🖤

Spice level is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥 This book contains scandalous cheating, threesomes, and gets pretty descriptive.
Richard and Alice have been married for a while and are very much still attracted to one another but as with any relationship, a baby and the financial situation has affected things slightly. Richards work Christmas party causes Alice to get her claws out when Richard’s boss, Scarlett, starts flirting with him.
Alice becomes more aware of how women are now looking at her husband and taking note. In addition to Richard’s boss Alice takes note on how their sitter seems to be in her husband as well, which may play into her advantage as the story moves on.
Both Richad and Alice find themselves in situations that could potentially harm their marriage, but they continue anyway. The story line is not something I would typically entertain as some parts I feel are just “tossed” in, however the it pieces itself together the more you read.
This was the first I have read from this author and am looking forward to reading some more of their work!

Richard Martin has followed the rules all of his life. One fateful night had him throwing all the rules out the window. He ends up falling into bed with his babysitter under the pretenses of fixing a computer. Then there is his boss, Scarlet, who finds out his dirty little secret when she catches him in the act. Now he is under threat and being blackmailed to boot. His wife Alice catches wind of the affair and well, let's just say that two can play at that game. Overall I give this a four. The story progressed well and even though it wasn't a long book nothing was cut short or made you feel like it was being rushed. If you are looking for something that has some very detailed intimate scenes you have picked up a good book for that. If you don't like stories that have a lot of descriptive details about intimacy, or you aren't a fan of cheating then I would put the put back now.

Richard Martin’s life was built on rules—until he broke every single one of them.
It started with just one mistake. A single illicit moment of passion with Rebecca, the tempting babysitter whose allure he couldn't resist. But when Rebecca shows up at Richard’s office, one reckless night quickly spirals into something far more dangerous—because secrets this hot don’t stay hidden for long.
Scarlet Holmes—Richard’s seductive, manipulative supervisor and the boss’s daughter—knows exactly what he’s done. After catching Richard and Rebecca together at the office, Scarlet traps him in her dangerous game of blackmail and control. Now, he'll have to risk everything to keep his secrets buried.
But when Alice, his wife, discovers the betrayal, the last thing Richard expects is for her to demand a taste of the forbidden herself. As fantasies become reality and boundaries collapse, Richard is thrust headlong into a scorching encounter that will either save his marriage—or burn it to ashes.
And Scarlet? She’s watching every move he makes at the office…and she's far from finished with him.
This contemporary forbidden age-gap romance is page-turning with exceptional world-building and characters that are alpha, exuding power, captivating, and realistic. Their journey is enthralling with forbidden temptations, erotica that is consumed by explicit romance full of steamy, sizzling passion, lust, desire, and spice with all the feelings to leave readers breathless and begging for more, MFF/FFM love triangle, menage, bi-sexual, forbidden romance, a gripping with high-heat tale of lust, power, and scandalous desires, heartfelt emotions, action, adventure, and more. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate his readers attention with forbidden temptations and erotica/explicit romance that is so hot readers will need a fire extinguisher to put out the fire and be transported into a world that wildly lustful and unforgettable.

Ooooo lordy. This is one that will cause you to grab your pearls. Hehe. The Lord of Lust never disappoints, and the temptations in this one are forbidden but that doesn’t always mean a bad thing. Right?
Richard has a moment of weakness giving into to Rebecca. Scarlett, the boss’s daughter, finds out and tries to use it as leverage only to see the darker side of Richard. Alice, Richard’s wife, doesn’t react the way you would expect, instead she wants a taste. Richard goes from feeling guilty to feeling like he is living his greatest fantasy, but could it really be that good?
If you’re a proper lady and read your p**n then this is certainly one that will leave you on the edge of your seat and holding your breath to see what happens next. If reading in public, make sure your poker face is on point. Hehe.

Forbidden Temptations by L.M. Mountford is the boxset by LM Mountford containing three different stories.
First, is The Baby Sitter, the story of Richard and Rebecca. His wife tells him that this girl has a crush on him. But, he brushes it off. When she needs help with her computer…she asks for his help. The help is more than expected!!
Next, is The Boss’s Daughter, the decadent story of Richard…and his many different guises. He is constantly being tempted. How can he ever get over all of this??? This was a convoluted story…of forbidden romance….guilt, passion, romance, and lots of steam!!! I enjoyed the story and the ending is great!!!
Third, is the story of Richard and Alice. They are married and some of the heat of their relationship has fizzed out. They have a babysitter who needs help with her computer and Richard offers his assistance. Not too sure I was expecting this story….definitely not my favorite by this author. But, if was a good, quick read that will keep you reading. Some taboo topics covered in the story. Good read, just not quite my cup of tea.

This book! Its been quite a while since I last read a book of the same trope, but lemme tell you, it did not disappoint!
Alice, the fierce and confident woman that you are!
Scarlett, from the first chapter, I was not a big fan of her, but somehow I knew, just what an explosion her character will be
Rebecca, the first moment she was introduced, I knew, that she’d be my second favorite after Alice. Somehow innocent but also not👀
And Richard, would there be another term for insatiable? If so, then that’d be Richard!
Kudos to LM for writing this story in such a way that, each character and their dynamic with Richard is different than the other. That the experience each one has with Richard is different and even the way the spicy scenes were written, they were very much aligned to the 3 women’s character as well as the affect they have on Richard.
Congrats LM! Such a good book
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Like all of LM Mountford's books I've read, this one really packs the heat. The spicy scenes are so good and will have you panting. This book does contain cheating but it's handled a little differently. This story is about a married couple Richard and Alice. Richard has an affair with the babysitter, Rebecca. When the wife finds out that her husband has cheated, she doesn't respond in the way you'd expect. She wants to have her fun with Rebecca too. This story is FFM and full of temptation, lust and enough spice to light your kindle on fire. This author isn't called the Lord of Lust for nothing! If you enjoy reading about these topics- cheating, lying, seduction, ménage à trois, and off the charts s3xual chemistry then I highly recommend this book.

L.M. Mountford’s Forbidden Temptations is a daring plunge into the shadowy world of lust, betrayal, and power dynamics—a gripping erotic drama that delivers both heat and tension in equal measure. Readers who enjoy morally grey characters, taboo themes, and stories where control shifts like sand underfoot will find this a steamy, addictive read.
At the heart of the story is Richard Martin, a man who has spent his life obeying the rules—until one reckless night with the family babysitter, Rebecca, pulls the thread that unravels everything. What begins as a single indiscretion rapidly escalates into a complex web of blackmail and manipulation, especially once Scarlet Holmes, Richard’s boss’s daughter and his calculating superior, enters the picture. Scarlet isn’t just a witness to his transgression—she becomes the puppet master pulling the strings.
Mountford skillfully explores the dangers of unchecked temptation. Scarlet is a particularly compelling figure: sultry, dangerous, and always one step ahead. Her presence elevates the story from mere infidelity drama to a psychological game of dominance and submission. As she exerts her control over Richard, readers are pulled into a spiral of suspense and erotic tension that refuses to let go.
The most surprising twist, however, comes from Alice—Richard’s wife. When she discovers his betrayal, she doesn’t crumble. Instead, she flips the script, embracing the chaos and rewriting the rules of their marriage. The scenes that follow are intense, provocative, and blur the lines between punishment, desire, and renewal. Mountford doesn’t just aim to titillate—he explores the consequences of suppressed passion and the messy aftermath of secrets laid bare.
Stylistically, the writing is sharp and evocative, with just enough introspection to give depth to characters who might otherwise be defined solely by their carnal impulses. The pacing is quick, with tension building steadily, ensuring that the stakes never feel static.
That said, Forbidden Temptations is unapologetically erotic and not for the faint of heart. The moral ambiguity of its characters, the taboo nature of its plotlines, and the power struggles that fuel the narrative won’t appeal to everyone. But for fans of dark romance and erotica who enjoy stories that explore the consequences of temptation and desire, this book hits the mark.

Richard Martin worked for Holmes & Raine. The obligatory Christmas party was an event he dreaded. He was at the refreshment table when the CEO’s daughter, Scarlet Holmes, cornered him. Beside being his boss, she was also the center of office gossip regarding affairs with former employees. Scarlet was beautiful and ambitious, and could fire Richard over the Prometheus account. Richard had found something off about the account. While he wasn’t an analyst, he felt the desire to investigate further into their handling.
However, Scarlet invaded his personal space and taunted him with sexual innuendos. Thankfully. Richard’s wife, Alice, stepped in. Alice was his wife of ten years who wasn’t afraid of taking on anyone. On the way home, however, Richard tried to convince Alice that there was nothing going on between him and Scarlet. Arriving at their flat, their babysitter, Rebecca, asked Richard if he would fix the computer at her father’s flat. He agreed, reluctantly, especially when Alice said she would be waiting in a seductive tone.
What Richard thought wasn’t going to take him very long, changed when he went upstairs to the neighbor’s flat. Rebecca was dressed in a short robe that barely covered her body. Richard fixed the computer, but then Rebecca gave him a hug and then kissed Richard. Without a second thought, Richard had sex with the nineteen-year-old. The liaison continued at work that Monday. Then Scarlet’s call for Richard to come to her office turned into Richard cheating again with her. Meanwhile, Alice had her own secrets that rivaled Richard’s lapse of fidelity.
This book fits the erotica genre without fail. The majority of the book is full of vivid explicit scenes. I am curious to see how Richard manages to deal with the three women without harming any of them. The ending leaves the perfect set up for a sequel. The storyline takes several unpredictable twists as Richard becomes more entangled in a lurid tale spanning four days. I rate this book four stars.

When Scarlet came on to Richard at the company party, his wife, Alice, claimed her territory hard. Alice didn’t give into the mean girl comments and tossed a few back. Then she kissed Richard in the most naughty tame way. Go Girl!!
When Richard and Alice got home, there were promises of things to come but there were things like looking in on the baby and paying the babysitter that needed to be handled. Rebecca, the babysitter, asked Richard to help with her father’s computer. Richard agreed to help. When he went to Rebecca’s apartment, Richard fixed the computer and the babysitter.
When Rebecca’s @busive father started screaming at and threatening her a couple days later, Alice stepped in and helped out. She brought Rebecca to her apartment and gave into her crush on the babysitter, not that Rebecca minded. During the moments between Alice and Rebecca, it came out about Richard’s slip up. Alice was livid, but looking forward to the revenge.
This is where the book loses me. Richard gets called into Scarlet’s office to discuss a report that he had been working on. It was revealed that the company was made up and the task, a test to determine if Richard had what it takes to be an analyst. Then Scarlett shows Richard a video from his office earlier in the day when his wife had video called him. And the shenanigans that occurred. Then Scarlet mouths off about Alice, Richard goes all Dom all over Scarlet, getting into all kinds of trouble.
I get Rebecca. Sure, fine. I get Alica and Rebecca. Great. I even get the revenge smexy times. That was some spicy writing (and reading)! But I don’t get Scarlet. Nope. Not when Richard was already feeling grody about Rebecca. That lost me. Not even Scarlet’s epilogue saved it for me. The story is good. Leaves you wondering what will happen next. Will Richard get exposed? Will Alice be as forgiving as she was with Rebecca (i hope not). Will Richard, Alice, and Rebecca be a happy thruple? This spice in the thruple scene is next level but…overall, ehn from me.

Richard’s Women
“Forbidden Temptations” is written by the Lord of Lust himself, L.M. Mountford. This book is like a minefield, you don’t know which bomb you’re going to step on next. Or rather it is Richard Martin trying to navigate his way around three lusty women, no matter which way he steps, one of them is there, ready and willing to take what he can give. Be prepared, this book is almost one long sex scene with m/f, f/f, and f/f/m action. The encounters are highly energetic, sweaty, steamy, passionate, erotic, dirty, and lustful. Some bondage and lots of degradation and dirty talk along the way. We don’t get to know a lot about the characters, but we know enough. Richard was wound way too tight, but when he broke free there was no holding him back. Above all, he loved his wife, Alice, and never set out to hurt her. Alice had her secrets too, hiding a part of herself until all hell broke loose. Rebecca, the twenty year old babysitter (a cliche, yes) is from a broken home and lives with her drunken abusive father. Is it any wonder she seeks affection from Mr. Martin? She purposely dressed to entice and draw him in, and it worked. The third woman in the story is Scarlett, the boss’s daughter (yup, another cliche) and Richard’s immediate boss. We get to see a different side of Richard, a fiercely dominant one, that reduces Scarlett into a puddle of satisfaction. Overall, Richard is like a sexual energizer bunny, he keeps going and going and going. The three women are in Richard’s thrall and are eager for more. Are they going to get it? Only future stories will tell. Well thought out and well written as only the Lord of Lust can do. Definitely recommended for lovers of this genre.

Richard Martin is with his wife Alice at the early company Christmas party. Rebecca is the young neighbor babysitting for them. Alice sends Richard to Rebecca’s apartment to help her with her laptop.
Richard is married to Alice with a young son. One night he sleeps with the neighbor’s daughter Rebecca who happens to be their babysitter. At work the next day, Alice asks Rebecca to bring Richard his lunch because he forgot his. Rebecca flirts with him. Then Alice video calls him because she is horny. Richard shoves Rebecca under his desk. Rebecca starts giving him a blowjob while he is on the phone with Alice. Alice has to go because her next class is starting. Rebecca leaves after the blowjob. Scarlett, the boss’s daughter, also known as The Ice Queen, calls Richard into her office at the end of the day. She shows him the camera in his office caught everything.
Alice Martin saw a particular item hanging in the window of “Sweet Temptations Boutique” so she bought it to seduce her husband Richard. Earlier in the day, during her break, she video called Richard to work him up so they could have fun when he gets home. Instead she is the one worked up and waiting. She hears screaming from Rebecca’s apartment upstairs. Rebecca’s dad John is drunk and throwing things. Alice runs upstairs, grabs Rebecca and safely gets her into their apartment. She sets Rebecca up in a nice warm bath and when she brings her some tea, gives Rebecca a hug and lets her cry. Alice admires Rebecca’s beautiful body and fantasizes about her.
I liked that Alice and Rebecca were both strong women who took what they wanted from Richard and each other.

"Forbidden Temptations" by L.M. Mountford is a steamy and emotionally charged story that delves into the consequences of temptation, betrayal, and rediscovery in a marriage pushed to its limits. The plot follows Richard Martin, an average husband and father, whose life begins to unravel after a passionate encounter with the babysitter. What starts as a single mistake quickly spirals into a tangled web of secrets, manipulation, and unexpected emotional shifts, especially when Richard's wife begins to confront her desires.
This was my first read by L.M. Mountford, and I was impressed by how the author balances intense, mature content with genuine emotional depth. The characters are flawed and often frustrating, which adds to the story's realism. The writing is fast-paced, the tension is high, and the emotional stakes are clear from the beginning. It’s not just about the heat; it’s also about the fallout, the guilt, and the journey toward truth and, possibly, redemption.
If you enjoy stories about complicated relationships, moral gray areas, and personal transformation spiced with drama, "Forbidden Temptations" is definitely worth checking out. It’s bold, dramatic, and surprisingly heartfelt, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Forbidden Temptations is the story of Richard, a husband clearly checked out of his marriage, and Rebecca, the younger woman who walks into their lives and turns everything upside down. There’s tension. There’s heat. There’s a lot of bad decisions. And before you know it, you’re in the middle of a love triangle that feels more like a car crash you can’t stop watching.
Oh, and just to spice things up? The wife—Alice—starts developing feelings for Rebecca too.
Scarlet, Richard’s seductive boss, adds another layer of drama with her manipulative nature and attempts to sabotage his self-control. This book doesn’t shy away from complicated.
The only thing that kept this from being a full 5 stars for me was the third-person narration — I’m more of a first-person POV kind of reader, and I think I would’ve felt even more connected to the characters if it had been written that way.
Still, I really enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s in the mood for an intense, steamy romance with a bit of chaos thrown in. 👀🔥
Thanks to BookSirens for this ARC that has been a wild ride!

It is a forbidden age-gap romance with heavy erotic elements, exploring themes of lust, blackmail, power dynamics, and scandalous desires. It features a love triangle and ménage relationships, with MFF and FFM interactions. The story centers around Richard Martin, a married man, who succumbs to temptation with his young babysitter, Rebecca. However, their secret doesn't remain hidden for long, as his manipulative supervisor, Scarlet Holmes, discovers the affair and uses it to control him. As Richard tries to navigate his way through blackmail and deceit, his wife, Alice, uncovers his betrayal and surprises him with unexpected desires of her own. Richard's betrayal ultimately forces Alice to confront her own hidden desires. Instead of simply being a victim of his infidelity, she takes control, pushing the boundaries of their marriage in unexpected ways. This was an intensely steamy, scandalous, and fast-paced read layered with psychological tension.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy this author’s creative details that not only bring life to the characters but to the plot as well. This is a well written story that is engaging and hard to put down. A story that starts with one moment of passion that leads into blackmail and betrayal. Richard makes a mistake at the office with the babysitter but his boss, Scarlet, knows what he did. She now is blackmailing him but then Alice, his wife finds out and she wants in on the forbidden love. What happens with these characters you do not want to miss. I enjoyed each character and what they brought to the story. They are strong, passionate, spicy and relatable. I enjoyed their chemistry and attraction which makes the story easy and entertaining to read. I enjoyed watching the growth of this plot that had me coming back for more. I really enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to seeing more from this author. I highly recommend this book.

Wow this book is the definition of complicated..don't get me wrong the story is not complicated but the situation Richard gets himself into is certainly disordered.
Richard is caught having a tryst with the babysitter Rebecca,and now he is entangled himself with secrets,lies and betrayal.
He is afraid his wife will discover his infedelity and so when he is being blackmailed by his bosses daughter Scarlet,he will do anything for her to keep his secret.
But the worry is futile because Richards wife Alice finds out about his affair with Rebecca....And her reaction to this news is not what he expects.
Alice wants in on the action with Rebecca to !!
What ensues is a very steamy,spicy and hot story of a marriage that is tested to its limits,as Rebecca becomes the plaything and the glue for both of them.
L.M Mountford sure does live up to his name as the Lord of Lust,and all fans of erotic romance will devour this book.
I really enjoyed it.
5 Stars.

Steamy might not be the word for this hot as sin novel. Richard has a wife and kid at home and appear to be the prefect little family. But decides the young babysitter and his man-eating boss may be just what he needs as well. Or at least in his thoughts, because he would never ruin his marriage. But is he the only one keeping those naughty thoughts in. Cause she wife seems to have a thing for the babysitter as well. As Richard crosses the line, he is trying to figure out a way to tell his wife, when his Boss Rebecca also steps in the way. And boy does he have his way with her instead. Which leaves a whole other issue to be solved because she is not going to just let him walk away after that performance. But low and behold as he is working up the strength to tell Alice, his wife, he finds her and the babysitter in a compromising position that leaves him wanting more. If only him and Alice where open with each other they could have been indulging in their fantasies a lot earlier.

WOW! WOW! Wow! That is truly what I can say about Forbidden Temptations!!!!! Richard is married to Alice but stepped out on his wife with Rebecca who happens to be the babysitter. It started out as one night, just one mistake. But Richard and Rebecca can not seem to stay away from each other. After a night at the office, Scarlet, his supervisor finds out and uses the secret to control and blackmail him. When Alice finds out about his affair with Rebecca, things don’t go as Richard thought they would go, and boundaries and fantasizes collide. All while at work, Scarlet is watching every single thing that Richard does.
This was a HOT and GREAT read. The spice is truly another level of hot but we also have a good story line as well. There is cheating, which happens to be a trigger for some, but I don’t mind it. I can not wait to read more about these characters! LOVED THIS BOOK!!
