I enjoyed this series but by the end of it I was to the point if I had to read the words "my cock twitched signaling my desire" or "my cock yearned to spring free" or anything along those lines I was going to lose it. With the amount of cock twitching I was beginning to wonder if all the brothers had some sort of hereditary medical issue.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 2nd and 3rd stories were the best. Characters were more likable and believable. 1st was Broody dominate millionaire and librarian. 2nd was lovable dominate millionaire and the shy inexperienced assistant with a troubled past. 3rd was the oldest (38) dominant millionaire and the Italian tutor/ nanny (22).

I finally finished listening to this treat!! All of Kendall Ryan’s books are always a good romantic storyline!
Such a sexy storyline with 3 alpha brothers and three feisty and strong willed ladies who capture their hearts and conquer each other!
! This bundle flowed with sexy drool worthy narrator men and sexy smooth female narrator! This bundle is definitely worth a credit!

Way better than I was expecting...
As a selection for bedtime on Audible, I expect minimal plot and little engagement- I pop in my earbuds and drift off to sleep; however, this series is too GOOD! Instead of falling asleep, I stayed up resetting the sleep timer over and over.
These books feature a rags-to-riches billionaire romance trope with 3 brothers and 3 intelligent FMCs. My favorite books in the series were 1 and 4.

Books 1 & 2 were the most intriguing. The ending is the reason for the .5, I will be reading the next book. Zachary Webber should have been cast to Narrate the entire series not just the first 3.

**Some spoilers**
I absolutely don't know why so many gave this 4+ stars! Seriously. I thought I had a 4 book anthology and 22+ hours of toe-curling steaminess. UGHHHH...Megan Tusing made the female characters sound pathetic and sad. She was one of the big reasons I returned this series for a refund of my credit.
The story/stories 1 Star - None of the characters had decent chemistry and most of the stories were centered exclusively on sex wrapped around dom/subs, 1/2 truths that really didn't do anything, 3 brothers who were "billionaire" escort service providers, and were supposedly broken by their upbringing. The women and love interests weren't much better. I thought the first book in the 4 leaned toward a menage theme, but it changed to one brother getting the girl. The second book played off of that relationship and by book #3 the rejected brother finally was finding the love of his life. I'd had enough.
Narration - I was drawn to the narrators except for Megan Tusing (never heard of her before this audiobook). Good as they were, they couldn't make the story very appealing.
Sex - is overplayed, with the women having been abused in previous relationships with the billionaire brothers just trying to make sex pleasant for them. Some aspects of the courtships were creepy with how Emma was forced to choose between the two brothers in the first book. She chose brother number 2 who dominated her and wasn't at all kind throughout their initial dates.
Secondary characters - friends and families of the heroines were flat and played little more than gossipy "girls" tropes. Even Emma's parents were weird in their interactions with Emma and Gavin. Don't even get me started with the psycho ex-escort office aide who molested Gavin and then stalked Emma. So much of that "dark mysterious" conflict was thrown in to justify making the story as long as it was.
I returned this audiobook at the halfway mark in book 3. I just couldn't put up with the writing, performance, and reality that I wasted a credit on such nonsense.

Predictable
Truly awful and predictable! Bought this on a whim thinking I’d like the author, never again. It was like reading the same book three different times.

💋 DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
5 Hearts
Dirty Little Secret is the first book in the Forbidden Desires series. I was excited when I found out that Kendall was giving us a new series with new characters and a new vibe. And now that I have finished the first book, I am even more excited about it.
Emma Belle watched him for ten months. Every morning at 7:50 she got a glimpse of the sexy, commanding man in a suit. He was her drug of choice and she didn't even know his name. There was just something about him that she craved. Ten months. No words have been exchanged. She doesn't even think he knows she existed. Then one day it all changed. She didn't know it yet but she was in for one hell of a ride.
He saw her. He has since day one. But he knew she was too sweet for someone like him. Someone with a dark side. Then he made a mistake. A mistake that could turn his world upside down. Was he ready for someone like her? Can a beautiful woman like her be the one to bring him to his knees?
Sorry...I can't say much but I will say...I loved this story! The characters. The storyline. The wardrobe. The heat. The twists. Everything. The way Emma wanted an adventure and more. The way Gavin shows her who he is. The way Cooper treats her. It's all makes up a story full of sin, mystery, love, and passion.
Overall...it's delicious!! An amazing start to series! It made me all hot and bothered but it also made me smile and swoon too. I am excited about what is coming next!
Quotes:
“Damn you for being so fucking tempting.”
“You’re a hilarious drunk.”
“It’s a blessing and a curse,” he said through gritted teeth, a hint of amusement in his voice.
💋 DIRTY LITTLE PROMISE
4.5 Hearts
Dirty Little Promise is the second book in the Forbidden Desires series. It can not be read as a standalone. You must read Dirty Little Secret first. Don’t worry...it’s a fast and addictive read. Now, back to this promise. I don’t want to give anything away so this will be short and sweet.
Dirty Little Promise starts where Dirty Little Secret ended. Emma finds out Gavin’s secret but not to the full extent and until then Gavin won’t let her go. He knows he should but he can’t. She is perfect for him. And if he has to let his walls fall around him then he will. But once they are down, can Emma be with him? Can she handle the real Gavin? Or will she turn around and go to Cooper? The brother that can provide a fairytale life.
Sorry...that’s it. I can say that there are sweet moments. There are kinky moments. There are sad moments. There are fucked up ones too. Twists will be involved. Trust will be tested. Brothers will have disagreements.
Overall...it’s a great conclusion for the duet. I can’t wait to see what is up next in the rest of the series.
P.S So glad my blog partner is reading it as well so we can discuss!
Quotes:
“Okay, fine. God save me from you three alpha brothers.”
“Don’t toy with me.”
“I would never.” Her lips twitched with a smirk.
“Come to help with this book tree? I can’t get to all the branches.”
💋 TORRID LITTLE AFFAIR
4.5 Hearts
Torrid Little Affair is the third book in the Forbidden Desires series. It can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first two books to get the full effect. I loved Cooper in the first two books so I was looking forward to his story. I just knew it was going to be hot, fun, and romantic and I was so right.
Cooper has been nursing a broken heart over the last six months but it was now time to go home. To Boston. To Forbidden Desires. To his brothers’ side. He wasn’t sure if he was ready but then he sees her. His new assistant. A sexy, curvy woman who had something hiding behind her eyes. Desire, innocence, fear, and more. He found the perfect woman to get him over his heartbreak and he would also help her with what she needs. To feel desired, safe but without commitment.
Corinne’s life is too complicated for dating. So, Cooper’s offer to a no-strings attached, orgasm filled relationship is so very tempting. She knows it not a good idea with him being her boss but after their first kiss, she can’t say no. It was too good. Too sinfully sweet and sexy all at the same time. She needed this. Needed to put herself out there even if it could not go past sex and a few nights out on the town.
Cooper and Corinne’s relationship is sexy but frustrating. To both of them. They have their wants and needs. Cooper is patient but he knows she is hiding something. Something is keeping her back. It’s keeping her walls up while he wants to break them down. Can they get on the same page?
Awe…Cooper. I just love him. The closet romantic. And Corinne, she is a saint. I just love them together. Watching them grow was wonderful and beautiful.
Overall…I thought it was a perfect story for Cooper. He hasn’t had it easy and he deserved to be loved. I am excited about Quinn’s story!!
Quotes:
“I can see how timid you are, little dove. Just promise me you’ll think it through.”
“It’s a shame to be blessed with an ass like that and not let me see you work it.”
“Show me how to make you lose your mind, Cooper,” she whispered, her voice low and sultry.
💋 TEMPTING LITTLE TEASE
5 Hearts
Tempting Little Tease is the fourth book in the Forbidden Desires series. You can read it as a complete standalone. If you have read any of the books in the series then you have already met Quinn Kingsley, the eldest brother and CEO of Forbidden Desires. I have been waiting for his story and it was totally fucking worth it!
Alessandra is fluent in Italian. Quinn needs a substitute Italian tutor. Alessandra is twenty-two. Quinn is thirty-eight. He knows he should be a serious student. She knows she should be a professional teacher. The problem? The chemistry is undeniable. Their flirty banter in Italian is comfortable and sexy. It was all unexpected especially since he hasn’t dated in years and she is leaving in a few weeks to live in Italy. It’s her dream. He knows this and that is why he wants to make every second count.
Quinn and Alessandra’s relationship has an expiration date. Three weeks. They decide to have their fun and then say their goodbyes. But, neither of them expected to enjoy their time together so much. Yes. They felt the attraction from the very start but the rest was a welcome and complicated surprise. There is no way he could ask her to stay. There was no way she could give up her dreams for a man. Even if he is the most amazing man. What will happen when their three weeks are up?
I loved this one! I have read the whole series and this one is my favorite. I don��t know if it was the Italian that got me. The connection between the characters. The hotness. It has it be the combo of it all.
Overall…I knew Quinn’s story was going to but damn…it was so much more than I expected. I am excited about the next book but sad that the series will be complete. I just love the Kingsley brothers and their better halves.
Quotes:
“For fuck’s sake.” I set my fork down and shake my head. “I’m sorry. I meant to save that question for after dessert.”
“Of course she’s unlike any other woman you’ve met. She was still in diapers when you got your first hard-on.” Gavin scoffs, downing the rest of his glass.
“You feel too good to be anything but peccaminoso,” he says with a sigh.

I love Kendall Ryan and this series is a funny makes you hot under the collar read.
Torrid Little Affair
Kendall Ryan is one of my favourite authors but this is a new series to me so for me to give it 5 Stars without reading the previous 2 books means it must be something special. This is a true standalone but after reading Cooper’ story the next thing I’m going to do is one click books one and two. Once again this author manages to give us the perfect mix of romance, humour and passion, the hero’s will have you swooning and the heroines will have you cheering them on, instant sizzling chemistry with plenty of banter and hilarious misunderstandings makes this a must read. This story is told in the dual POV and for me that made it even more enjoyable and entertaining.If you are looking for a book that will leave you smiling like a Cheshire Cat then this is the book for you. Great funny read.
Tempting Little Tease
I love this series and Quinn’s story is the book I have been waiting for and Kendall Ryan delivered the perfect story for him, this is a brilliant addition to a great series.
Quinn is the eldest Kingsley brother, he is the serious business always comes first brother, never has time for relationships until he meets his new tutor Alessandra, he wasn’t meant to have a beautiful woman teaching him Italian and she certainly wasn’t meant to come into his life for a few weeks and then leave for a trip to Italy......
This story is a quick read but that doesn’t make is any less enjoyable, the characters have depth and strength but most importantly they have a story to tell. It’s a bumpy road for Quinn and Alessandra there is a age gap to start of with, then there is her bucket list trip to Italy will either one of them be prepared to give up a dream.
If you love romance stories that let you get to know the families and there friends this is a must read series because every brother has a story to tell.

Forbidden Desires: The Complete Series (Forbidden Desires #1-4) was a great read by Kendall Ryan. Forbidden Desires: The Complete Series consists of; Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Promise, Torrid Little Affair and Tempting Little Tease. Dirty Little Secret (Forbidden Desires #1) was a great read by Kendall Ryan. Emma is an innocent librarian who Gavin finds himself wanting. He knows that she sees him for something that he is not. There is a spark that zaps between them that they can no longer deny. Dirty Little Promise (Forbidden Desires #2) was a good read by Kendall Ryan. Lonely librarian Emma Bell is conflicted in her feelings for Gavin Kingsley. She knows that he is all wrong for her, yet she knows what she wants. But she is afraid to lose herself completely if she gets with him. Torrid Little Affair (Forbidden Desires #3) was a great read by Kendall Ryan. Cooper has spent the last six months drowning his feelings and trying to forget about the woman he couldn’t have. Real life ends up up calling him back to work. He didn't expect Corinne to come into his life and change everything. She is his new assistant who tempts him to no end. He knows that he must know more about her and find out why shes scared and guarded. There is a strong pull between both of them and they cant deny it. Tempting Little Tease (Forbidden Desires #4) was a great read by Kendall Ryan. Quinn Kingsley hired Alessandra to teach him Italian. He knows that she is too young for him but she tempts him beyond belief. She’s moving to Italy in three weeks to teach English. She never thought anything would develop so quickly between them but their chemistry is explosive. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Well, well... This one started out strong with the first 2 books about Gavin and Emma for sure! I would give those 4.5ish stars. Then the next 2 about Connor, and then Quinn, the other 2 brothers were just too short. No real character building at all! 3.5 for book 2, and a sad little 2 for book 3, but I still give overall a solid 4, because the beginning started so strong.
That being said, the one writing thing that drove me crazy was the way some of the words or phrases were always repeated in one sentence.
Off the top of my head, the one I one I can think most of was starting with the phrase, then ending with the same phrase, which is what I remember off the top of my head. (obvious example)

There was a decent amount of intrigue and conflict in the first two to keep me engaged. The third book got a little sloppy and predictable and the fourth was a snoozer.
Look, I’m glad all the brothers found their true loves and everything got wrapped up with a cute little bow on top, but I feel like Quinn had a bit of a disservice done to him. At least there could have been more of a timeline for him and we didn’t get to know Alessandra at all.
I just got the feeling that Kendall Ryan was rushing with book four to meet a deadline— and it shows.

It was disappointing to be honest.
The first brother felt like Christian gray copied. I was constantly thinking something different would come but by then the story finished.
The second brother was old school concept at first, then a small twist came and then it ended, again.
The third brother was age-gap, was sounding nice too. There was some chemistry and at one point I felt the tension in the sex scenes, but then it ended too quickly, again!
So, disappointing!

The second brother was old school concept at first, then a small twist came and then it ended, again.
The third brother was age-gap, was sounding nice too. There was some chemistry and at one point I felt the tension in the sex scenes, but then it ended too quickly, again!
So, disappointing!

Great series!
I loved reading about the Kingsley brothers, to read how each of them fell in love. They are all so unique. As I read the series, I thought each was my favorite story. Honestly, in the end, they were all favorites!! Each story was so different, as each girl was different too. Great series that I fully recommend.

Kingsley Men
I loved this series of the three brothers and the woman that tamed them. There was just enough drama and life to keep it interesting. Of course, who doesn't want a hot guy and a beautiful woman to fall in love and live happily ever after?! A great read that will have you binging on the whole series.

Cute romances, all 4 books are!
Although I feel like book 3 and 4 were rushed while book 1 & 2 were very thought out. Missing book 5 and I suppose author never released it because it’s not found on any forum nor available for purchase.
All in all I liked the characters and plot lines

Strike Three
Two out of three not bad but Quinn's storyline was lame. Story not as focused as first two which evolved over time with engrossing plots.

Loved the Kingsley men. Each book gave you an insight into three men so different and yet so alike,in their passion.

DNF. I feel badly giving it a one star because, well, I couldn't get through it, but maybe it got better? I read the first volume and felt no chemistry. Just wasn't for me.

Really enjoy the first book. Second wasn’t bad but the third was meh. It’s like the author gave up when it came to the depth of the characters and the story.
The smut however was delightful.

All three stories were really good. The first two books are about Gavin, the third is about Cooper, and the fourth is about Quinn. I enjoyed Quinns story the most.

First two books had potential. Then the second two were just poorly written and rushed.

All books were good. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. The shock of Cooper’s story made me gasp! I wish there was more to Q’s story. I would read this again.

I love it so far. I love the guys falling over her. Is a bit weird at times pushing through to finish it but I keep stopping. I’m on cha 53 or so.
