What I liked and enjoyed about this anthology is the variety of tropes. My reader heart was satisfied when I reached the final page. If you’re a romance reader and enjoys forbidden and dark romance then this Anthology is the right one for you. The seven novellas are forbidden, a little dark and twisted but most of all sexy as hell. There’s a MC romance from Abigail Davies. A very twisted and dark age gap from Yolonda Olson. I was pleasantly surprised when read Loveless from C.L Matthews cause it was a delicious M/M , best friend’s father romance. If you fancy some suspense to your romance then Illicit by C.M Radcliff is the one. Sin Keeper from Michelle Brown was an awesome student/teacher/student threesome. Forbidden and so hot. Lynne and Gabe , an age gap and best friend’s mother romance from All We Know by J.M. Walker gave me all the tingles. The Anthology ended with Deceiver by Alexandra Silva. Talk about a sensual and fabulous boss and employee romance. Damon started off as a jerk but it didn’t take much for him to win me and Ava over. If you crave some dirty, hot and twisted romance then read this awesome Anthology now.

Overall definitely a 5 star read. All the stores were great and I definitely recommend this anthology

Up first is a story called Enforce Her. In this one you read about Haisley and Jax. Let's just say Jax needs her for a special reason. Haisley might just end up needing him more. This story is by Abigail Davies and it's a MC story. 5/5 stars.

The second story is Lolita by Yolanda Olson. Meryska is just looking for a job to help get her back on her feet. When she finds the perfect job as a babysitter for a rich family. But just when she thinks maybe she's in over her head. A unexpected twist. And the plot thickens. 4.5/5 it's a twisted tale.

Next is Loveless by C.L. Mattews. Tex is in the closet... He just tries to keep his head down and do what his father wants. But one day while pleasuring himself his father walks in and figures out he's gay and kicks him out. Now basically homeless he finds a guy who interests him. Though he's never done this before he goes through with it. Now this is where it gets juicy. I liked the story overall and give it 4.5/5. Obviously it's M/M.

Illicit by C.M. Radcliff is next. This is a story about a man named Aleksei. He's out drinking and sees a beautiful woman named Lyra. Both are not what they seem and still they are drawn to each other. Having a job to do Aleksei needs to concentrate but all he can think about is Lyra. This has consequences for both of them. 4.5/5 this is a Mafia story.

Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown. This is a story about Jasmine she's just started a new school and the only friend she seems to have is Taylor and he just wants to sleep with her. But they are the only 2 students in Mr. Allen's class. And the assignment the teacher gives them might just change everything for the 3 of them. 5/5 this is a M/F/M story.

All we know by J.M. Walker. This is a story about Lynne. She got pregnant at 15 and married the baby daddy. Years later he divorced her. Just her and her college age son James, Lynne always puts her son first. She figures love just isn't in the cards for her. Her son and his best friend Gabe are always over. Lynne starts noticing how Gabe is handsome but she's too old for him. But her son's best friend has a very different idea. 5/5

Deciever by Alexandra Silva. The last story is about Ava. She was passed for promotion, her fiance took the job and she dumped his butt. She's set to start at a new company the next day but decides to celebrate with her best friend Lacie. While out at a bar she meets Henry. This leads to that and the spend the night together. When she goes to her new job the next day she finds out she might have just slept with her new boss. 4.5/5

What an amazing Forbidden Anthology. I enjoyed every single story. Five Stars for an All-Star line up! You just can’t get enough of these stories. I couldn’t put this anthology down. And you won’t either.

Enforce Her by Abigail Davies will have you all hot and bothered. We briefly meet Jax in the Burned Duet. His forbidden story will leave you breathless. You will absolutely love the way Jax takes care of Haisley. Who would of thought that taking her would be his downfall. He can’t help but fall for her. Five Stars!!

Lolita by Yolanda Olson is a forbidden story that is twisted yet you can’t stop reading it. These two play a game and woahhhh what a story we get. Olson takes us on a story of getting what you want no matter what. Five Stars!

Loveless by C.L Matthews is so good! This is a story of finding your One, even though it shouldn’t happen. The feels in this book are felt through every word on the page. You can’t help but root for these two. This is a male/male story that will leave you breathless. Five Stars!!

Illicit by C.M Radcliff will have you flipping the pages to find out who is going to get it. This story isn’t a love story this is about revenge and we are kept guessing the entire time. Four Stars.

Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown ohhh this one is hot!! This is a M/F/M story and you won’t want to miss these three. Five stars!!

All We Know by J.M Walker what a amazing age-gap story. Age doesn’t matter when it comes to love. Five stars!!

Deceiver by Alexandra Silva Five Stars!!

I was given a free advanced copy of this book by the authors in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.

Enforce Her:
I haven't read much by Abigail Davies, but I really need to rectify that. Absolutely enjoyed this glimpse into her MC series, and will have to grab the Duet the character Jax was in.

Lolita:
Another wild tale from Yolanda Olson that really made me pause. The story of a girl getting exactly what she wants, and the twist will absolutely throw you! And it'll have you second guessing who you invite into your house!

Loveless:
Who doesn't love a little M/M in their lives. C.L. Matthews brings a fun story to life with the budding relationship between Tex and Devin, and what will come of their tryst.

Illicit:
Following one Russian hitman, his brother and their "assistant", the bonds of loyalty and love are tested. They're all playing a game, and when the winner is evident, you'll wonder what they've really won.

Sin Keeper:
The triangle formed in this one is wild and erotic! There is a lot crammed into this short story, I would have loved to see a longer story from It, but definitely holds all your interest!

All We Know:
What a fun story! Who doesn't like the older woman-younger man story?! Hot and sweet, this one has it all!

Deceiver:
The anthology is rounded out with a nice alpha story. Alexandra Silva is another author I'm not overly familiar with, but it was a great way to end this book!

Deceiver from Alexandra Silva

I absolutely devoured Damon & Ava!!

This was my favourite of the anthology. It was fast paced and packed a punch. The kind of novella that was rich enough it read like a full story.

Damon was delicious & met his match in the feisty Ava. Their connection had me hooked from the first page.

It had wit, it had humour, it had plot twists & the chemistry - well all I’ll say is ensure your other half us home or that BOB has a full charge!!

This collection has an amazing line-up of authors. Each story provided is a nice mix of tropes. Forbidden is perfectly titled as each story has that naughtiness, forbidden romance that we al love. The angst and sexiness will blow your mind. You will be consumed with this unputdownable collection. This is a must read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS

Forbidden: A Romance Anthology has an amazing group of authors who have written a collection of deliciously dirty and taboo stories. These stories will entice readers and whet one's appetite with whatever they may fancy from an office romance to an age gap (older female) romance. I highly recommend picking up this anthology! Forbidden: A Romance Anthology is an EPIC collection and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

Holy moly what a fab anthology full of Forbidden goodness.. so many different types of naughtiness all in one big book by 7 different authors..
I do like an anthology as it's all about one thing with all separate styles of writing and what that author gives us is always different from the others involved.

So it starts with Enforce Her by Abigail Davies.. this is the main reason I bought this book as I'd read anything Abigial writes including her shopping list lol
If you've read previous books by Abigail then you will have met Jax in her most recent release...(and if not please look them up!) So this story is MC..and who doesnt love some MC growling hot alpha male?? Would love more for this couple!
Definite 5/5 for me!

Next is Lolita by Yolanda Olsen..this is my second read for this author and I'm definitely going to look up more by her as this story was fab Meryska and Everett were not what I expected but I loved that more! Huge plot twist when she becomes the baby sister for his family.
5/5 for this one.

Loveless by C.L Matthew's.. this was my first read by this Author and damn I was hooked! Absolutely love a M/M read so when I started reading I was invested by Texas and Devin instantly.. both struggling with announcing the fact that they are gay it all happens with a bang when they meet.
5/5 steamy stars!

Illicit by C.m Radcliff.. is a mafia themed storyline with you being surprised at the many little twists and turns this story took. Loved Aleksei and Lyra and totally didnt expect the way this went but it was great!
4.5/5.

Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown was the ultimate forbidden story.. Jasmine starts at a new school and at her last class meets Taylor and teacher Mr Allen and her life changes...for the better! Smoking hot unexpected M/F/M story follows that left me wanting to look up all this authors precious books! Absolutely heart racing!
5/5 for sure!

All We Know by JM Walker..
Who doesnt love a I fancy my sons friend storyline ;-) Lynne is still young after having her son at 15 so when her relationship with his bestfriend Gabe starts to change it's all fun and games! Tbh hes not too much younger than her but I do love an age gap read. 4.5/5

Lastly we have Deciever by Alexandra Silva which is more of a book than a short story about when Ava moves from her families company after being passed up for a well deserved promotion but when she has a one night stand with 'Henry' the night before she starts the new job she certainly gets a shock the next morning.
4/5

Overall a great anthology you all should read.

Enforce Her by Abigail Davies

This was fantastic. Jax and Haisley are complete opposites. He takes her but keeping her is what he wants yet he knows they are too different. Brilliant MC story.

Lolita by Yolanda Olson

Here was I thinking this author had written a complete different genre to what she usually writes. Yes she was fooling me until I read it some more. Meet ska has always fought for what she wants. She’s now hoping a babysitting job will change her life. Fab read.

Loveless - C.L. Matthews

Yikes this is so so good. The author feeds us the story in such a way you really hope it’s gonna go the way you want it to. An excellent sexy mm story

Illicit - C.M. Radcliff

Fab read. Aleksei meets a beautiful girl. Unfortunately nothing is what it seems. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

Sin Keeper - Michelle Brown

Fabulous read. Jasmine has just started a new school. She gets more than she bargained for in one class. Love the stories from this author and this is another great read from her.

All we know - j.m. Walker

This shows to me again that I’ve not read enough by this author. Taboo but oh so good. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

Deceiver - Alexander Silva

After I finished this one I looked to see what else this author had written as it was so good. Definitely will be reading more of hers.

While I am not usually all that huge of a fan of anthologies, this one showed me that they can be done correctly, if it is the right collection of Author's working together!

Made up of some truly talented authors, this anthology brought the kind of forbidden that dark romance, and forbidden romance lover's would die for!

The author's weren't afraid to take you out of your comfort zone, and it paid off, because it made the book that much more phenomenal of a read!

If you haven't already, make sure to grab yourself up a copy ASAP, and don't allow yourself to miss out on some perfectly delivered forbidden romance, filled with snark, anxiety, STEAM, and love!

I Give this Book an Overall 4.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 4.

*There Are Some Great Stories in Here!*

I will be reviewing each story individually, each will have an individual rating.
I will then total the ratings to give an Overall rating of the Anthology.

Book 1: Enforce Her by Abigail Davies
Rating: 3.5/5
Dark(?): Not To Me, So No.
Heat: 1.5-2/5, Low Heat > Essentially ’Next Day’ Type.
Romance: 3.5/5
Drama & Suspense: 3.5/5
Relationship Type: MF
HEA(?): Yes.
This is a decently fast paced story, I personally don’t mind Haisley’s personality throughout this book, but I wouldn’t be shocked if some readers would say that it’s ‘unbelievable’ behavior in some areas of the book. But I would most likely react the same way she did.
I did enjoy this book, and kept my attention.
Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? (To Me) No, Not Really.
I would love to read other works from this author.

Book 2: Lolita by Yolanda Olson
Rating: 5/5
HEA(?): Yes, I Believe So. Lol
Relationship Type: MF
No Spoilers.
Let’s just say, Yolanda NEVER disappoints when you need a good nontraditional read.
This is a short read, but your always on the edge of your seat, cause you never know what’s in store for you. And then when you encounter the ending, you’re surprised that you’re completely satisfied.
Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? Oh MOST Definitely & Loved It!! XD
I Never Get Tired of Her Books, I’m Obsessed With Her Writing!

Book 3: Loveless by C.L. Matthews
Rating: 5/5
Heat: 5/5
Relationship Type: MM
Insta-Love(?): Yes! I’m not usually a fan of those but this was soo Good!
HEA(?): Yes!
This is a evenly but fast paced book and well written as well.
I consumed this story so fast! Lol
So Good! I’ll Never forget this story.
Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? Yes! It fits perfectly!

Book 4: Illicit by C.M. Radcliff
Rating: 3.5/5
Heat: 3/5
Relationship(?) Type: MF
Cliffhanger(?): Yes? I think so..?
Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? I’m Not Really Sure?
This book was a bit hard to get into, knowing it’s part of a series (and I haven’t gotten the chance to get to it yet)
I did feel like I was missing the bigger picture.

Book 4: Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown
Rating: 3.5-4/5
Heat: 3.5/5
HEA(?): Yes
Relationship Type: MFM
Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? Yes :)
This was a fast paced read, I did feel like the book needed more explanation in a few areas, it felt a little bit clunky to fully accept what was going on. But plot wise I did enjoy the book :)

Book 5: All We Know by J. M. Walker
Rating: 4/5
HEA(?): Yes
Romance: 3.5/5
Heat: 3.5-4/5
Relationship Type: MF
Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? I suppose so, Yes :)
I wish it was a bit longer, but this was a great fast paced story :)

Book 6: Deciever by Alexandra Silva
Rating: 2/5
Relationship Type: MF
Heat: While the heat is good and I’ll give it a 4/5, It’s introduced too early in my opinion.
You know when you read a book and the sex scenes just don’t feel like they fit in properly and feels purposely put in just for the heat factor rating?
That’s kinda the vibe I took away.
There’s a lot of heat and but none of the heated scenes felt convincing to me, it just felt empty.
Suspense: 3.5/5
Drama: 4?/5
Romance: As a Question>Yes, there’s romance and I ‘guess’ a lot of it. But honestly I didn’t believe a bit of it, Damon & Ava were practically drowned/muffled in their own Book.
Like hearing a whisper amongst a roaring crowd.
As a Rating> 1/5. It just didn’t feel real at any point.
HEA(?): Yup.

I did & didn’t like the pacing of this book, it’s fast paced & kinda weirdly felt like it was dragging as well.

This being the last story in the book, I was highly anticipating this one.
‘You Save the Best for Last, Right?’
But the Story to me, fell extremely short for me.
The book overall felt filler-y, it kinda went everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
It left me quite a bit confused in several sections of the story. And it’s an extremely...active(?) book, LOTS of things going on almost hinging on chaotic.
People you’d think would appear quite a bit in the story, didn’t even appear.
The book went down a weird path I didn’t even foresee.
Lanie felt like a front runner for me rather than Ava half the time, she shouldn’t have had so much focus on her and Fran might as well be put in the same category with Lanie.

Does this Book feel Forbidden-y enough? You might think so at first, but in my opinion> Not.At.All.

I’m Extremely Disappointed in this Story.


Anthology Wise: It’s Pretty Good Overall! ☺️

I HAVE READ EVERY BOOK. BLOWN AWAY. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A 5 STAR ANTHOLOGY. WOW. AMAZING JOB TO THESE AUTHORS.

Lolita by Yolanda Olson:

I loved this novella! Like all Yolanda books, the ending was CRAZY and I laughed and said 'what the hell' hahaha. The little twist after they had sex threw me for a loop I did not see coming. LOVED IT LIKE ALL HER OTHERS.

Loveless by CL Matthews:

Goshhh I have been wanting to write this review for monthhhssss it seems!!!!! I read this a little while back and loved it SOO much and I just read it again today and loved it even more!!! It was so hot and so emotional and so, just, UGHHHH. Tex and Devin were everything together. I love it when Cassie writes this genre. She is the queen of MM romance.

Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown:

This story was super hot! Menage, age gap, student-teacher, taboo, MM, MMF, I mean, it had it ALL! Oliver and Taylor hooking up definitely came out of left field for me! I did not expect that but I loved it! And I loved Jasmine. She had spunk. Great story!

All We Know by J.M Walker:

Wow I loved this one too!!! Normally I am not a huge fan of older women/younger men stories. Older men/younger women tropes are my FAVE though (its weird I know). But this was just perfect. Gabe was dominating, he didnt seem like an immature boy, Lynne didnt seem like an old woman either. It was hot and I loved it all!!!!!

Deciever by Alexandra Silva:

DANG! This book was AMAZING! This was my first book by this author even though I have been wanting to read her and now I am goung to go back and DEVOUR all her past books. This book was BREATHTAKING. SO SO SO GOOD. It did not seem like a novella in the least bit. Ava had sass, charm, heart, soul, character, I just loved her! And Damon was ruthless, mean, sexy, possessive, alpha AF, everything I want in a bossman. I loved this so hard. I would totally read this again and buy the paperback. Wow. Every book so far has just blown my mind.

Illicit by C.M Radcliff

This was a great story!!!! I was thrown for so many loops! Lyra was so sweet. Then she was a con. Then she was crazy lol. Alexski was intense and Nikolai was a great bro in the end too. I loved the intensity. I wanted more! It was a really great novella and I just want to read more by this author now!

Enfore Her by Abigal Davies:

This book was SO good! I dont typically read many MC books but I will be changing that now! Jax was so mesmerizing! I want one for myself! I even liked myself some Al! I am interested in seeing more of him and his episodes and if he theres a story there. Great novella between Jax and Hais!

Enforce Her by Abigail Davies 5⭐

I love a good MC, story and this is a good one. I love to read about how they are there for each other, and how they would do whatever they can to make the situation better. This story is no different.

Jax is apart of the MC and has to make war against an official. When he comes up with a plan, he doesn't think that the plan will bite him in the buttocks. Haisley is the breath of fresh air, that Jax needs. She is hoping that with this new outcome in her life, that her life will be better than it was.


Lolita by Yolanda Olson 4½⭐

She always amazes me with her stories and this one is no different. Yolanda knows how to keep you wanting more.

Meryska is smart and she will get what she wants. Mr. Gastrell is conniving and play on the smarts of others but when these two meet, it will be a different approach for the both of them. By the end you will be saying "wow! Freaking Yolanda did it again".


Loveless by C.L. Matthews 5⭐

A good steamy and hot MM, story is always fun to read but this one had me rooting for their togetherness.

Devin and Texas, is the stars of this story and are both hurting. One is hurting because of a parent and the other is hurting because of a secret, but true love always wins out. I love how their reaction to each other is and how they worry and care for others. It's a beautiful story and the sexy men candy doesn't hurt.


Illicit by C.M. Radcliff 4½⭐

A woman's deception, is explosive but to be deceived by a woman with illicit intentions are worse. From the beginning this story has you looking for the other shoe to drop but when it does, you're going to be saying "I knew it".

Aleksei, being the man he is and the profession he's in, he shouldn't have been so caught up and confused by the end of this story but they same a woman's touch is dangerous at best.


Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown 5½⭐

Hot✔
Steamy✔
Threesomes the way I like them✔
SINS✔

Holy freaking batman, this story is awesome. The scenes are excellent and the characters are the best. I can't even begin to tell you about it. Michelle, I love your writing but this story is wow!

To be a fly on the wall, in that room, during that time. Omg! I would've had a blast. Oliver, Taylor, and Jasmine are the main characters in this story and they have the time of their lives after one of them trust the wrong person and the other gets over being the responsible one.


All We Know by J. M. Walker 4⭐

Cute story of love, and a life with it and without. Everyone wants that special someone and the happily ever after, but sometimes it takes more than once to get it.

Lynne thought she was done with relationships, love and all that comes with it but when Gabe makes it know that he has other intentions and won't take no for an answer, she starts to think she will be okay with her new life.


Deciever by Alexandra Silva 4½⭐

Manipulation is the way in corporate America, but the way Damon does it will have you shock, but by the end his true intentions will be shown. He is ruthless and he plays the game well, but the one thing he didn't expect is Ava.

Ava is a hard worker and wants the same opportunity that the boys gets, but when she realizes that it's not the same and want what's better for her, she decides to go get it from Damon, or so she thought.

This story is great, it shows you how people are in business and in family.

This anthology is absolutely amazing. All the stories is wonderful and I'm excited to have read them.

All stories of this epically depraved anthology should be read and enjoyed under the covers... but here are a few reviews/instant reactions from me so that you get the idea and hit that one click button...

Lolita- Yolanda Olson
It has been awhile since I've read a book by Yolanda and as I sit here thoroughly confused about what I just read (in the best way) I'm wondering why. Everything wasn't as it seemed that's for sure.... My mind is broken! I need answers!!

Illicit- C.M. Radcliff
Any book by Cali is fantastic, this novella is no different. You'll be kept guessing the whole time, wondering what on earth the plan is, with Lyra and the brothers..
Did not expect that ending at all, then again it's Cali so really shouldn't be surprised! More that I want to say but....spoilers. Just read, trust me.

All We Know- J.M Walker
This short story was the embodiment of forbidden! May have been short but it was dirty. Not my usual read but still enjoyed.

Deceiver- Alexandra Silva
What brillant author to conclude a fantastic boxset. A full sized forbidden romance complete with kissing in the rain. Although I normally prefer suspense from Alexandra I'm not surprised I loved this change of genre, I think I would love anything by her.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
This book is a mix of fabulous authors who have come together to make one great book.
Abigail Davies is one of my favourite authors, and I buy most/all of her book's as I love her style of writing. And she doesn't disappoint in this anthology either.
Her book is about Jax a guy we originally meet in one of her duets, and I'm really glad he got his own book, because he's hot as sin and needed his own book 😍😍🤤🤤
The rest of the anthology is just as well written and I'd definitely recommend it as a book worth reading and needing to add to your TBR list 💖💖💖

Review is based on current reads. Will update as I go.

Enforce Her by Abigail Davis.
Hot tomalie, sugar. In this one you meet Jax and Haisley. When a MC's plan to kidnap a judge's daughter doesn't go quite as planned as attraction takes form..things go wild.

Lolita by Yolanda Olson.
Oh my, Meryska is a young girl looking for some income where she finds this gig as a babysitter. When she meets the family, something feels off about the father. One day when the mom goes out for the day...shits starts happening and you won't expect what comes next.

There are some brilliant short stories in here by 7 authors. Some authors I have read before whilst some I have not.

I am so glad that Abigail Davies wrote Jax's story. We meet him in some of her books. However, he never got his own story. I was so giddy when she finally released this.

Yolanda Olson. Your writing never fails to freak me out. How wrong can it be to enjoy something so much.

The other authors are new to me and I will defiantly look at picking some of their own individual books up.

7 amazing authors all in one book, yes please.

I loved every moment I got to experience in this anthology. I got to read words by authors that I have enjoyed on their own, and then I got the perfect introduction to new to me authors as well. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my time then reading this again and again.

All i wanted from this novel was for it to be a kiss in the dark but it ended up being that guy who ends up following you and giving you the eye the whole night until you and your friends end up changing locations.

Anyway, there are still some good ones.

he was supposed to abduct her but ended up *sniffles* saving her
4/5
Maybe i was biased cause i love me some good old stockholm syndrome but this actually got in my feelings and didnt read like a porn like the other stories here haha

Lolita
the classic dad left alone with the babysitter with a dark twist
And boy that twist really did come out of nowhere 3/5

Loveless
we all need a drink during this hard times and this one you cant take... straight *badum tss*
Totally unexpected and totally hot. So unfortunate that im with my mother while im reading this cause i cant wait hahaha 4/5

Illicit
Ha! Dnfed this one at chapter 2ish cause something rubbed me the wrong way or maybe im just bored and the characters were basic af

Secret keeper
Teacher, school girl, jock
Ive watched too much porn to know where all this is going and it did! Haha! The only mistake that the author made was she took it way too seriously and even gave us an epilogue thinking that we actually cared enough for this character outside of their crazy boning antics to actually give us a closure? Hahaha i really dont care 2/5 ok 3/5 cause its entertaining

All we know
The milf one
Pretty basic but the smut was good but i skipped on the lovey dovey generic family bull idk what that says about me 3/5

Deceiver
A generic alpha sans parental issues blackmails generic sassy heroine with a heart of gold and together they have a generic workplace romance.
Didnt realize that this was a whole ass novel took me by surprise and i ended up skipping the pages, everything is just so been there done that that even though the other characters havent been introduced yet i now how everything will turn out cause ive read this story before 2/5

This is not your mama's book of love stories.
The seven stories written on the pages of this book all showcase twisted talent from the seven authors who penned them.

Abigail Davies' Enforce Her is a steamy tale of what happens when a man who will do anything to protect his chosen family is faced with a task he knows he must complete, no matter how gray the area of love and loyalty gets.
Yolanda Olson's Lolita is twisted ride from the Queen of Dark Reads herself, proving that nothing is ever what it seems, and some pretty girls will stop at nothing to get what they feel the deserve, no matter the cost.
From C.L. Matthews comes Loveless, a hot and sexy read of what happens when secrets you've kept to yourself come to light in ways you never imagined.
Illicit by C.M. Radcliff tells what can happen when one breaks the cardinal rule they've lived by, no matter the reason.
Michelle Brown's Sin Keeper will leave you wide eyed and breathless thinking about the secrets those next to you may have.
All We Know by J.M. Walker is a dangerous web of tangled desires and reveling in what you want and what you know you shouldn't do, even if they're the same thing.
And Deceiver by Alexandra Silva is a twisted new spin on what happens when two players enter a game, and only one knows they're being played.

Review for Deceiver by Alexandra Silva:

I had to dive right into Alexandra's contribution to this anthology because well, I love her books! Damon and Ava's office romance is one of my new favorites. They ignite immediately but deceptions and omissions give their story incredible push and pull, and their interactions are full of love/hate steamy chemistry and lip biting tension! I love how Damon falls and once he does, boy is he fiercely protective/possessive! A twist has Ava a bit more reluctant to completely open herself up, though deep down she knows it's a lost cause. Overall, a fast paced engaging story that hit all the marks! 5 forbidden stars for Deceiver. I can't wait to read more of this anthology!

Review for Sin Keeper by Michelle Brown.

I CANNOT EVEN RIGHT NOW. I SERIOUSLY CANNOT EVEN. This was...and I just...and all of it was...GAHHHHHH!!!!!!

HOLY F*CK! The amazing Michelle has written another incredible book that will spike your temperature and have your panties melting.
This story was so dirty and steamy, I was afraid it was going to melt my kindle.

Is there something this author writes that’s not amazing??
This is a M/F/M story and you won’t want to miss these three.
The triangle formed in this one is wild and erotic!The attraction between these three is off the charts.

Suffice it to say I absolutely LOVED THIS BOOK. I loved every page. I wanted to lick my fingers and my kindle once I finished.

I needed to see who manages to bring Jax to his knees, and I wasn’t disappointed. Abigail Davies delivered Haisley, a woman beaten down by the one who should love and protect her most, used as a pawn, and discarded by all. Except...Jax can’t get her out of his head. So when he finds out what her life REALLY is, he makes sure to change it. I only wish that they’d had a truly full-length story because I wanted more!

This Anthology is a perfect blend of dark, twisted and sexy hot forbidden romance. Each author writes a different trope/genre so there's something sure to delight every reader. For those that love MC, age-gap, boss/employee, MM and more are within the pages.

This is for C.L. Matthews' story, Loveless.

This was such a quick and hot read. I could've read thousands and thousands of more words about these two. I loved both Prim and her mom's attitude regarding Devin, and then Dev and Tex. They just wanted them to be happy. Loved it.
