Taboo is about pushing the boundaries, exploration and enjoying the illicit. There’s nothing quite as sweet as being sinful and forbidden. Dark desires come to light in this collection of tales.

I absolutely love anthologies. They introduce me to new authors which is brilliant.
Crikey there is some fabulous reads in this story. After finishing each one I was looking up the authors to see what other books they’ve released...yes these stories are that good.
I love to read taboo stories. It pulls me from real life into stories I can get lost into. This is an anthology that if you love taboo then I highly recommend you read it. Well done to the authors on writing some wonderful stories. I can’t wait to read more from these authors in the future.
OMG another Anthology that is off the hook! I couldn't get enough of this one. I mean I laughed, I cried and yes I yelled at my kindle like oh hell no, why are you doing that?, stop acting like that, don't trust that person, and oh boy oh boy I need a tall glass no pitcher of ice for some of these stories because the lust and sexiness and sexual tension was real lord was it real!
This is a must MUST READ because it has everything from love, to lust, to people you can't trust, forbidden love, obsession and man was that obsession off the hook and rivalry and man did that story have me on the edge of my reading chair screaming at my kindle like a crazy loon.

I was drawn to this anthology because it had an Evan Grace story (can't wait for the rest of that one!) but I decided to read all of them as there were some new to me authors. There is definitely something for everyone in the book and a couple of stories that are to be continued.
There was one that had a major twist, one with a teacher/student, a couple with best friend's father, a BDSM story and a couple of mafia reads...and so much more - seriously what else could you want.
This anthology has a story for anyone that likes the taboo, some more than others. I like reading this type of book because you can find some new authors to check out. A definite page turner with short tales that will keep you entertained and interested.

This anthology is made up of some great short stories with a heavy dose of taboo (some more than others) and is definitely worth the read if this is your thing!
Insubordinate Behavior by Addison Kline: this is a short and to the point book about falling hard and fast and having an outsider attempt to destroy it all. It definitely hooked me and I blew through this story. I feel like there has to be more to this story to come but it said The End...
Creed by Alice Laroux: This was a fantastic story about a made man being set up and finding the answers in the form of a smoking hot prison guard. This relationship should have been doomed from the start but it just worked!
Forbidden Love by Elizabeth Knox: This is just the beginning of what I am sure is going to be a crazy intense book. This one tells us all about how it started! Can’t wait for the rest of their book!
Edge by Crimson Syn: I loved this story. It was absolutely tragic and devastating at times but all the other parts had you filled with hope as you watched two broken people find their forever. Smoking hot must read!
Hypothetically by Dr. Rebecca Sharp: Ooohh I can’t wait to read more. I have to know the fall out of this hot rabbi treat. This is a best friends dad romance that will leave you squirming in your seat
Dirty in Amended by Callie Vegas: This is a short story with a broody alpha male who happens to fall head of heels for the one woman he should stay away from...his stepsister. Good book and great vibes!
Spring Break by Evan Grace: omg I don’t want it to end! This is by far my favorite book in this anthology and tells the story of a girl falling for her best friend’s dad and holy geez is it amazing!!
The End by Shannon Youngblood: I hope that this is just the beginning. This story deals with a lot of tragedy and heartbreak and just when you think it’s going to get better, it takes a turn for the worse.
Forbidden by Eden Rose: this is a teacher/student story that has a mix of the MC life thrown in. It is a recipe for disaster and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I couldn't resist when the chance came up to read an advance complimentary copy of this book as I love discovering new authors and read quite a few taboo stories. After reading it, I came away with some mixed feelings because a lot of the stories seemed to be prequels to books that will be coming out later this year. I don't mind maybe one or two stories of an anthology being prequels, but there were too many in this anthology for me. However, the stories did have me hooked and I was left wanting more.
I'm going to be honest and say that I struggled with the first story, Insubordinate Behavior, as it needs some work. This story could become a great full length book if the author took the time needed to work on it further. After reading this first story, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy the rest of the anthology, but I stuck with it and I'm so glad that I did. The other stories are hot, and whilst I wouldn't maybe consider some of them to be taboo, I couldn't stop reading and didn't want each story to end. I kept thinking ‘this is definitely my favourite story from the anthology’, but then I'd read the next and change my mind lol.
For me, the story that stood out was The End by Shannon Youngblood. It has a dark twist that you do not see coming, and I was left on the edge of my seat. I like and enjoy stories that don't shy away from sensitive subjects, and this one definitely doesn't. After getting this brief taste of the author's talent, I'll definitely be checking out what else she has written in the hope I find more stories that are as powerful and addictive.
Would I recommend this anthology? Yes, I would. It has some amazing stories that will leave you feeling hot under the collar.
*I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book
This anthology certainly isn’t for the faint hearted but if you love a hot, sexy read then this is for you! I love stories that have taboo elements to them (Tabitha Suzuma’s Forbidden is one of my favourites) so this anthology really sung to me.
Creed by Alice Laroux, Forbidden Love (A Mackenzie Series Novel) by Elizabeth Knox and Edge (A Prequel to The Lesson) by Crimson Syn were my favourite stories in this anthology. Both Creed and Forbidden Love are of the Mafia genre which I now have a new found love for! Forbidden Love finished WAY too soon and ended on a cliffhanger. It’s part of a full novel which is to be released in September so I’ll be keeping my eye out for that one! Edge was pretty shocking and was certainly an eye opener! The protagonist, Aracely, escapes her abusive husband and ends up working in a BDSM club - the most unlikeliest place he’d find her. It was an incredibly interesting and exciting read! It’s a prequel so I definitely want to check out The Lesson next.
The anthology on a whole took me a while to read. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the stories mentioned above, I did struggle with getting into some of the other stories and I also struggled with there being a fair few spelling/grammatical errors that seemed to have been overlooked. That may just be the proofreader in me though.
Amount of sex 4 / 5 How explicit is the sex scenes 4 / 5 Story 4.5 / 5 Overall: 4.5 / 5
No Limits: A Taboo Anthology features nine short stories from nine amazing authors, courtesy of Knox Publishing. I love this anthology, and each author brings a little something different. Some stories are suspenseful, while others have lots of sexual tension, as well as twists and turns. Overall, they are all taboo and so dang hot! A couple seems to be prequels to other books, and I look forward to reading them.
I completely agree with the blurb when it says, “Taboo is about pushing the boundaries, exploration and enjoying the illicit. There’s nothing quite as sweet as being sinful and forbidden.”
Loved them all, and I definitely recommend adding this to your TBR list!! Voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Copy
This set is full of short hot stories, each one naughtier then the one before. I’m new to a few of the authors and a couple I was already familiar with. Creed was a particular favorite of mine. I’ve never read an inmate/guard book it was very well written. The first story went a little fast for me and just seemed kind of cheesy but it wasn’t terrible it was just a very common trope I’ve been reading lately. They all had great moments some super steamy others a little more romantic. It’s a perfect mix of short sweet and sexy. I give it four stars but a couple stories I would have given a little or or a little less. It’s a set with lots of variety so you can get a little bit of everything and find something new to love.- By Tiffany
No Limits: A Taboo Anthology containing stories by nine authors. I always appreciate and love anthologies because it opens doors to finding new authors. All nine stories contain fun, sexy and some surprising tales that will leave you wanting more.
I enjoy taboo romances from time to time however, I found myself having a hard time staying in tune with the stories because they were so short and didn't have enough "umpf" to carry a believable tale in such a short amount of time.
I would certainly recommend this anthology if you want to get a taste of the authors writing and/ or see if you're into the taboo genre.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. What an amazing collaboration of authors we have here. The suspense, the sexual tension, the lust and passion just radiates off the pages and you will not be able to stop turning as you are going to want more than the last story you read. It’s addicting, you get every taboo you could ever ask for, forbidden, obsessed, and so much more. You will cry, laugh and scream out loud, to me that’s letting the authors know they did their job and did it well. Loved it, one click it now!!!
No Limits: A Taboo Anthology is an awesome read. There are 9 stories in this anthology by 9 amazing authors. I couldn’t get enough of this book and wished some of the stories were longer and gave me more. All these authors have out done themselves and I can’t wait to read more from each of them. This book is full of romance, suspense, twists and turns, highs and lows, heat, sexual tension, and more. I think I ran the gamut of emotions while reading this book. These atories will leave you wanting more. I definitely recommend this book.
So, obviously, I'm in the minority here. I love the taboo troupe, almost all of them, honestly. But, for some reason,I just could not get into these stories. Some felt like a porno, having little sustenance and straight for sex. Others were too cliche and just rubbed me the wrong way. I will say, the story from Evan Grace was awesome! I look forward to hopefully reading the rest of the story! Again, maybe I'll pick this back up another time and try again, but for now, it just wasn't for me.
I'm always up for a good taboo book and I wasn't disappointed with this one. You get a little bit of everything in this SMOKING HOT book. I knew a few of the authors in this No Limit Anthology book but my favorite one was Forbidden Love by Elizabeth Knox. Short, Sweet and Loved it. I can't wait to see what happens to Caprice and Liam. Bring on the next book Elizabeth Knox. Great job everyone.
Okay where do I begin, like holy FLUFFING marshmallow balls on a stick!! 😳 Edge is one HOT AF read. I won't elaborate on it but if your looking for hot, steamy, possessive alpha male Eric is definitely your guy. You won't see whats coming until it's too late, when it swoops in and knocks you on your @$$. All I'm saying is ya'll need to get reading on this bad boy asap you don't wanna miss out 😈
This was an amazing Anthology. The stories have fantastic characters, a lot of steam and leave you wanting so much more. Dr. Rebecca Sharp and Evan Grace are two of my favorite authors. I also found myself some new authors I look forward to reading more from as well so it’s an added bonus. You will not be disappointed by this book and I highly recommend you get on this. Be warned though you will not be able to put it down once you start.
Amazing collection of taboo romance but each story pulls you in and keeps you wanting more and more. This has a story for everyone. It will have you turning page after page of heat and steam and romance and everything in between. Once you start your can't stop. Can't wait to read more from these authors amazing reads
these were some really great stories by great authors . the first one was really strange. the others had sex of all kinds. plus there is two stories with best friends sleeping with there fathers. there is one story of rape that is just so wrong. than the last one is really kinda sad. thanks authors for letting me read these short stories.
Wow. Just wow. This book was steamy and bff's Dad kinda taboo. It was short but, panty melting good and leaves nothing to the imagination. There is a cliffhanger and I do hope Evan picks up from here 😀. I got to discover some new authors that I wouldn't have known about had I not read this book.
I’ve read Shannon Youngblood’s story ’The End’, so far. It was a cruel and captivating story, at the same time. I’m still not sure if I liked it or not, but since I still think about it - it made an impact. That in it self mean that it was something extra.
An enjoyable set of taboo reads that will take you on a sensual journey that will have you craving for more. Some authors I am familiar with while others are new but overall this was a good read that I can’t wait for the follow up of some of the stories that doesn’t disappoint with the tease they provided.
This anthology was a bit mixed for me. Some of the stories seemed like introductions to bigger stories (which I actually liked) and then some were short stories. I find anthologies either hit or miss because some stories are great and others not so much. This anthology had a mix of both but overall it’s a good read.
Wow! This collection of stories was amazing. I kniw taboo isnt fir everyone but some of these stories jyst were downright wowzas but so good I neefed more. Each and every story had it own amazing elements. I have read some if these author and gain of few more that I hadnt! Over a great bunch of di6type if elements of taboo books!
I Absolutely Love Reading Anthologies. You get different stories from Different Authors under one Book. No Limits is a Beautiful Forbidden Anthology which includes Fast Steamy Forbidden by Nine Talented Authors.
I was Hooked to reading every story and Finished It in One Sitting. Highly Recommended for Readers.
Taboo romances galore! Something for everyone from extreme erotic to Hott Lust! So many story lines I never considered like officer and inmate! Each story had a heat factor that blew me away and some were short stories that left you satisfied others were a sample of what is to come!
This taboo anthology was filled with tempting dark desires and so many stories that left me wanting more. You won't be disappointed with this collection of of wonderfully written quick reads that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions.
