I loved this book! I was pulled into the story right from the beginning. This author has created a hot, steamy story that left me turning pages. It is a fast read that I wanted more of. The characters made the story come alive and as if I was right there with them. Seven doors, each one more pleasure, more forbidden and best of all no rules. I never hesitate to pick up this author’s book and I don’t think you will regret it either. One of my favorite authors and a must read!

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) is such a sexy, steamy little story by Autumn Sand. It is a novella length book which makes it a very quick and easy read- albeit a very HOT and spicy read.
I was completely hooked right from the blurb- and I couldn’t wait to dive in. I loved the concept of club Forbidden and the seven doors that lead to all the tantalizingly tales of forbidden pleasures, that seem to get hotter the more we progress.
The book lived up to all my expectations, but it’s Autumn Sand, so of course it would. I really recommend diving in with an open mind and let the book surprise you. I also recommend having something cool on hand because this book is sizzling hot- you will need something cool to alleviate the heat wave these tales will induce.
If you like your stories on the spicy side, then this is definitely the book for you.
Five Red Hot Stars!

Thank you, Autumn Sand!

Forbidden is a short book. It’s basically a story per chapter. Every door at forbidden gives you a different story. There’s something for everyone. Some of these were amazing reads. I have never read anything by this author that had this amount of heat. This is definitely worth a chance. I’m sure you will find a few of these that you will enjoy. I hope Autumn gives her readers more books like this one.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand a complex four-star read. I don’t know what to say about this one without telling you what’s behind the seven doors, other than be warned you will need a tall glass of something cold to cool you off after taking a peep behind each door. Each story is individual having its own characters and naughtiness, it’s fascinating that all of these things could come from one mind. What a mind you must have Autumn Sand, I know I would love to sit with you over cocktails and pick your brain.

Forbidden is a tantalising, erotic novella from Autumn Sand. I have read several of her books over the last year or so and have become a huge fan of her writing. I would have read this book anyway even without reading the blurb as I’ve loved everything I’ve read so far, but the blurb made me REALLY want to read this book.
I love the way the book is structured, with the ‘narrator’ Neria introducing each story and teasing the reader as to their ‘reaction’ to each story.
There are 7 separate short stories, each described as being in a different room in a sex club for the reader to ‘watch’.
I don’t know how Autumn Sand did it but she threw in a curveball or twist to every story and I did not see any of them coming. Either I’m totally rubbish at guessing where a story is going, or the author has a very wicked, devious mind. I think it’s a little of the first and a lot of the latter.
Each story was uniquely different, although all had a very sexual content. If you are a bit of a prude then this book is not or you. You need to read this book with a very open mind. If you like a bit of erotica in your books then this is definitely the book for you.
A must read!

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand

4 Stars

Giving any book by this author only 4 stars is killing me, she is literally one of my favorite authors of all time but I have to be honest when I say, this one just didn’t hook me like her books normally do and I had high hopes for it.

The writing was spot on as usual and the whole idea of the book was definitely unique. This is going to sound odd but it was almost a bit too steamy for me, not something I expect from this author. It could just be my mood and a second try would make a difference but even though I knew there were some things I wouldn’t like going in, it still was just too much I think for me right now.

This does not change anything about my feelings for this authors books, this is just not my favorite and I can’t wait for her next book. You really must read this book yourself.. There was a lot to love and on any other day I may have loved it LOL The writing is as always amazing.

Love this author!

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol.1)
By: Autumn Sand
5 out of 5 stars

The book Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol.1) by Autumn Sand is one that is very steamy. It takes you to club Forbidden. There you have a hostess whose name is Neria. There are seven doors. What is behind them? Read this book to find out. What you read in this book will make the temperature in the room rise. The story has characters who have deep and intense emotions. There is passion and desire. Each door has scenes that make you swoon. This is a book that hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the last page. My emotions went up and down along with the characters. There are characters that are likable and others that show their true colors and motivations. Don’t miss out on a book that will have you reaching for a cold glass of ice water and turning up the fan in the room. It is a book that I would recommend reading.

Forbidden
By Autumn Sand
5 stars


Autumn Sand is one of my all-time favourite authors, I think I have read and loved every book that she has written so I was really excited to get started on her new release Forbidden! And as expected I was not disappointed at all – it was a short and sexy read which had me hooked from the very beginning. I think I was hooked from the moment I read the blurb! I loved the way the author decided to write this story it was really refreshing actually to read something structured differently. Her descriptive language was good and not too over the top for an erotic read! It definitely made you want to keep reading to find out just what is behind those doors that’s for sure!
Overall another fantastic read from this author and one that I would highly recommend! It is an erotic novel so I think readers definitely need to remember that when thinking about whether to read or not!

Oh mylanta! This book is hot! So very hot. Now, it is obvious from the cover, and the name of the talented author that this will be a hot read, but I think it is probably underestimated. I loved that this book was a short and fast read. It sweeps you off your feet right away from chapter one and thrusts you into club Forbidden. Each trip behind the doors of forbidden pleasures will get hotter and hotter and leave you with a thirst for more. I was only disappointed when I had reached the end because I so badly wanted more. I will say this book being so quick of a read didn’t give you a lot on specific characters to invest in. It is more of a tease or taste of what the characters life entails. I like the lightness that this gave the read. It was a nice change of pace to have a bit of a mindless enjoyment for the afternoon. I look forward to seeing what forbidden sins await us in volume two.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand is a quick and easy read. I read this book on a whim because it isn’t very long and it seemed interesting enough to me. As it turns out the book wasn’t really what I was expecting, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.
In this book you are at club Forbidden and there are “7 doors” readers enter and go through, each of these doors have different short stories complete with different characters and setting. Each door is unique to itself. Mostly all of the stories have some kind of steamy scene in them. Some of the stories will leave you feeling content and satisfied and others will leave you irritated. Some of the characters are loveable and some who are less than that. I finished this book in a few hours. If you would like to see what happens here at club Forbidden, don’t miss out on reading this book.

I stumbled into this book by surfing around what other people read, and I was amazed at the high rating this thing has gotten. Oh well...

Did not finish. The first story was so so, had a surprising end, that I found a bit strained. The second story was better, but the surprising end gave me a bit the feeling the end didn't fit with what we learned at the beginning. The third one had a surprising end, and guess what, I already knew what's coming. I stopped then.
The writing style ok, but I found plenty of those phrases that I can do without... Certainly there the guy was so excited, there was the necessary prop of "precum". The girl was licking his dick like a "popsicle". Things like that.
All in all I had the feeling I was reading a story generated by an AI trained to write such stories after having been fed 50.000 free online erotic stories...

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand - Review by Randall Murphy
The setting is unique and very intriguing from the very start. It wasn’t what I expected, but the presentation of the story made it more intriguing and erotic. There is definitely some erotic naughtiness, but there is also some intrigue, disappointment, and pain. The rollercoaster of emotions will have you reviewing how you look at things. It’s not all happily ever after, but there are some edge of your seat moments and several surprises in store. This book is a great bridge between the happily ever after romance group and the hardcore erotica group in how that it has a little of both, but doesn’t fit entirely in either category.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand

5 out of 5 stars
WOW Forbidden is the first book in this erotic series written by Autumn Sand. This isn’t my first read by this author but I have to say she blew my mind with this book. I didn’t know if I liked or hated the book but it turned out I loved it.

Each chapter is with a different unique couple and their troubles in their relationships and sex lives. We walk through seven doors with forbidden pleasures and we don’t know what we are walking into because in Forbidden there are no rules.

I really enjoyed this story and I loved the strong woman and how they either put their men in place or just walked away from said men. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Sand has in-stored for us in her next installment.

I wasn’t sure what to expect by this book. The blurb and cover intrigued me and I just had to read it! I’m an Autumn Sand newbie and will definitely be reading more by this author! I have not read anything written in this style before. Your hostess Neria makes you feel like you are truly there, walking through the seven doors, each one more forbidden than the last, and watching the tales unfold before your eyes. This book contains well written, sexy scenes that do contain cheating, told in a unique and tantalizing way! Grab your copy of Forbidden, your favorite beverage, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Forbidden (Tales of Passion, Lust & Betrayal Vol. 1) by Autumn Sand. Let me just say Autumn Sand is one of my favorite authors. This book is amazing. Its pretty short and pretty HOT! Its about a club named Forbidden which is an exclusive club. Not just everyone can get in. Neria is the hostess and there are 7 doors that you can enter that all lead to tantalizing pleasures that seem to get steamier and steamier as you progress. There are emotions involved as well that suck you in and of course the characters you come to care about. If you like Hot & Spicy reads then this is the book for you! Read Forbidden you won't regret it!

Forbidden was a hot and steamy 5 star read.

I was excited to read this book. The book starts with us going into club Forbidden, we meet Neria who is our hostess. She takes us through the club to seven doors, behind each door there is a different sexual scenario.

We get some very hot and steamy scenes that include some erotica as well. We also get some unexpected twists that added great elements to each story. Autumn does a great job of pulling you right in, once I started I couldn’t stop reading. This is a quick read that should be read with an open mind. I look forward to reading the next book.

Forbidden is the first volume of the Tales of Passion, Lust, & Betrayal series. It is a collection of steamy short stories. I will be honest, the tone of the narrator in the hostess sections was not my favorite. I love the idea of the club and the doorways, but the narration really didn’t fit. I will give kudos for creativity though. The short stories are entertaining and cover a variety of scenarios to keep you entertained until the last page. I found this book to be a quick and easy read. It makes for a great bedtime reading experience.

Let’s take a tour of the club Forbidden. Forbidden is full of Passion, Lust & Betrayal behind every door. There are seven different doors in the club each with a different fantasy that gets hotter and sexier each time. You will feel like you have stepped into each door and are watching the scenes play out in front of you. Autumn’s writing is that detailed and I swear steam was coming from my kindle. If you are like me and like your book a little on the extra steamy side then you need to read this sexy novella.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand made me feel like a voyeur looking in a window at the neighbors. I have read several books by Ms. Sand, enjoyed them but knew she wasn't the rainbow love type of author and she proved it once again.

Each one of the doors was a different story with a different plot and was incredibly well written. Of them all I liked door one the best, just something about the story that grabbed me.

If you want to peek into the lives of others and have time for a short book then give this one a try.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand is full of 7 short forbidden stories that are erotic and reveal some deep and dark secrets that will leave you hot and bothered. This is certainly a different read from Autumn as it takes a look at desires and longing, betrayal and forbidden fruit. It invites you to participate in the darker side of life and forbidden sexual desires. It is a short read and a very clever idea.

I won’t share any of the actual stories as you need to explore them all on your own.

Forbidden by Autumn Sand is a hot and steamy book that will take you to all the hidden places where desires live. The book is a quick novella that will captivate your whole attention. All of the stories and the characters are well developed and so hot that they will leave you a bit hot under the collar.
Autumn Sand is a fantastic author. She knows how to write brilliant stories, each different from the other. If you haven’t read anything by her then you really need to rectify that immediately.

Let me start by saying, this is a one click author for me and ive loved every single thing she's written. But this one, while its her writing style, it also wasn't. I'm used to the character development and deep stories and this one didn't do that for me.
Its very different and i've not read anything like this before. Dive into different fantasies and choose the door you like the most.

Sand is a master storyteller. Hands down she has become an immediate one click author for me. I was unsure if I was prepared to open this book as I knew Sand would probably shock me. And boy did she ever. I cannot even describe this book without giving something away. All I can say is hold on to your hats and don’t read this while in public.

Hmmmm. How does one review this book? This is a novella that contains 7 short stories. Each story is a stand alone with a beginning, middle, and end. What they have in common is the narrator who introduces the story.

Each story is a "forbidden" tale that is meant to titillate and excite. An enjoyable quick read on a Friday night.

Definitely not what you were expecting.

I had no idea what I was getting into. Yes, the stories have their sexy parts but they will definitely make you think. Good writing, and the ability to keep the reader on their toes make this a winner.

First off I want to say I am no Autumn Sand newbie and Forbidden sure made me feel like a newbie! Autumn has never written anything this explicit and erotic as far as I have read. This book brings betrayal, forbidden sex, and the stories told were pretty damn good! On the norm I don't care for cheating but it was so hot that who cared that some of the stories were about affairs! All I'm saying is this book is a 5 star read and a must read! Hell, it's only 99 cents!
