When southern mountain witch Rowan Ash crawls into bed with fierce werewolf Mikal, she has no plans beyond satisfying the desire that had kindled to life the first time she met his icy gaze across a field of blood-stained snow. Her kind doesn’t mate for life—and even if she was looking for a long-term lover, Mikal informed her from the beginning that she wasn’t his True Mate.

But mountain magic has a way of revealing the truth of things…


~*~FORBIDDEN is a complete romance with a happy ending for the featured couple, but certain aspects of story, and some characters, span the previous books, TEMPTATION, OBSESSION and SALVATION.~*~

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!

August 22, 2015 By SandyN

This review is from: Forbidden: Grey Wolves Rising #4: Mating Season Collection (Kindle Edition)

While part of the Grey Wolves Rising series, this story follows 2 characters in previous books. Mikal is a wolf with no pack. Rowan knows from experience that wolf shifters exist, but until one shows up at her southern mountain home, she has no idea that harrowing past experience will change her future and bring her back to the Grey Wolves Rising. This story has a surprising twist beyond the wolf finds human mate in that Rowan isn't your typical human woman. I never like to give the story away; where's the fun in that? I loved it and if you enjoy sexy shifters and happy endings, you need to get this series.

I was given this book for an honest review....I am a big fan of Emma's books and this one was no different. It had a good build up and great story. What stopped me from giving it 5 stars was I felt there was something missing while it seems that Mikal and Rowan will get their HEA the story stops. I hope she revists these characters a story was started but left incomplete there's so much more to be built upon but maybe that's the point to keep reeling us in, if so it's working. Impatiently waiting for the next book.

Forbidden: Grey Wolves Rising, #4 (The Mating Season, #20)
by Emma Storm


"*Author Note: Rowan Ash originally appeared in Salvation as Willow. Names have been changed because the muse demanded Rowan instead of Willow." Emma Storm

Well, this book just goes to prove that no matter if you are just a human, witch, or shifter of some sort, family's don't always get along. Even when you think you are. Sometimes the best thing to do is just to move on.

Even with the name change, I had no problem following the story line. Of course I have read a few other books in between, so that helped.

If you are looking for hot, dominate males (and Mikal is very dominate) and sassy, independent witches, then Emma Storms Forbidden will be right up your alley.

This is the 4th book in the Grey Wolves Rising series and it's just as good as the prior 3 but a little different. Rowan from the 3rd book (was Willow) has returned home and has a surprise visitor. Which turns out not to be too much of a surprise, in fact, he's a very welcomed visitor! Her family isn't real happy about him and she's from a long line of witches so things get real interesting when she decides she wants to keep him. This book is just as sexy as the others, so be sure and have your fans ready, your gonna need them! Quick and easy read, perfect when you want to read a book from start to finish and have your HEA! I was given this book in return for an honest review and I honestly loved it!

Fourth book in the Grey Wolf Rising series, enjoyable novella read. This is Rowan's story. Again, the topic could have been dealt with in so much more depth, it was like a tease.....so much potential with a white witch and a lone werewolf!!! There is some underlying grief from Mikel's past that needs some exploration, so many questions! Again with the fade to black ending...I need to know what happens with Jessie and the bear!

Overall, entertaining read.

Passion Hot and Sexy

I enjoyed this book a lot. I've read all the Mating Season Collection books and must say I enjoyed this more than some. Mikal and Rowan are perfect for each other. I can't wait to read about Jessie and her bear though. I'm truly glad the authors decided to continue the series.

This was a nice short story. Although the one downfall is that just as the other 3 books I feel it ended just to abruptly. I wish there was more closure to the couples in this series. There is happy endings but I feel that there is more to be said. I was given an ARC copy in return for an honest review.

Standalone wolf shifter book.

Kindle Unlimited read. Standalone book in series. She doesn't have the powers that the other witches have in her clan. He tracks her down by her scent after one meeting. She is not his mate but he wants her. After one night together, things are changed forever. But how can two separate worlds come together? I'd say 3 1/2 star read.

Great read until....

I'm in love with this series. The ability the author has to make this all seem so real and pull you right in is incredible. I was glued from beginning to the end. I was a little disappointed in the ending. It wasn't exactly completely finished in my opinion. Maybe the next one will reveal more

I received a free copy from the Author for an honest review.

this is book four. I love how the story isn't around the pack but they meet up with the pack. I love how when her family turned on her she went with her heart. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

Waiting is the worst part

I love these books I get lost in them and when I finish one I mourn the end and then I have to wait for the next one to come out. These stories are so good I hate waiting for the next one. Just try them you'll be hooked as well.

Emma Storm you rock. This was so intense, so passionate. I wanted her to tell him what the stone revealed to her and to read more about what Forrest to him.
