Forbidden #6

Forbidden Seduction

Rate this book
She's always felt like she's lived between two worlds. He never thought he'd want to share his with her.

As the only child of a cat-shifter and a human, Demi Cross has always lived between two worlds, always feeling alone. As long as she can remember, she’s been warned to hide her identity from those who don’t want her kind to exist.

But hiding is easier said than done. With her unique biology, she has needs unlike any human she knows. Once a month, her body requires a partner in only the most carnal way possible.

And, tonight, she’s on the prowl.

When Saxon Einar spots the naive human in the middle of Club Seduction, his instinct is to protect her.

But he senses something different about Demi, and it’s not just her fierce attitude.

He soon realizes she’s anything but ignorant.

Passion between the two of them ignites, leading to much more than one night. When danger comes for her, Saxon wants nothing more than to keep her safe—and to show her that she’s always had a place where she belongs.

All new forbidden from R.L.Kenderson. Erm yes please!

Demi has always hidden who she is from the two worlds she lives between. Half human half shifter makes life complicated. Her animal needs draw in the seduction of Saxon but neither of them think it’s for keeps.

When Demi finds herself in trouble Saxon is the only one who can save her. The forbidden team are back to battle a cult of narrow minded individuals.

Saxon is draw to Demi but he doesn’t know her secret by the time he works it out she’s already too tempting.

What’s starts are fooling around turns into more than Demi ever thought she could get from the shifter community.

This little beauty will be mine in the form of a paperback but I received an ARC. Love this series. Another great instalment. 😍

Forbidden Seduction is the sixth book in the Forbidden series by R.L. Kenderson. I haven't read any of the other books and although I could tell that some of the characters would have already had their stories told, I didn't feel as if I was missing anything by not having read them first.

Demi Cross is a human and a cat shifter. Brought up to believe that shifters would kill her if they discovered that she was half human Demi has made sure to keep that side of her secret. One thing she can't ignore is that once a month she goes on heat and if she doesn't mate she is in extreme pain. With that in mind, she isn't a stranger to one night stands. On one of those nights, she attends Club Seduction determined to pick up a man.

Saxon Einar is a cat shifter, he spots her and assumes that she is a human very much in the wrong type of place for her. He goes over to her to warn her and is very much intrigued by her smell. She doesn't smell like a human, but he can't detect her shifter side either. He is quite shocked, but pleasantly so when a mutual attraction stirs and he ends up quenching her mating thirst!

One night that month turns to one night every month to quench that thirst. Saxon still feels protective of her and tells her that any time he needs her she can call him and he gives her his number. Unfortunately, she finds the need to use it when she and her friend end up being attacked and she ends up doing something unthinkable. Saxon comes to the rescue with other shifters who are in his clan and that's when the drama really begins.

I don't want to say anymore because it will give too much away, suffice to say that Demi learns to embrace her shifter side even if it puts her in terrible danger. A danger that Saxon is determined to keep her from.

The drama of the story is intense as is the passionate sexy side of it, not only between main characters. Saxon and Demi's love scenes were hot hot hot. I have read many shifter stories but have never come across 'barbs' in a sex scene...now I know of them, shifter sex scenes without them will just seem 'less'! Seriously, shifters have never appealed to me, but if they were real I could be tempted now LOL!

If you enjoy a dramatic book with humans verses shifters plus full blood shifters against half blood ones with a load of passion and desire thrown in, you will love this book just as I did.

I loved it so much so that I want to read all the books in the series now. I don't think going back to the start will be difficult because as I said, this story could have been read a standalone one. I am sure the same can be said of the previous books.

Forbidden Seduction is book 6 in the Forbidden series by R.L Kenderson and a huge 5 star read.
This book is definitely my favourite so far but I think I’ve said that about all of them because they are just so good. This writing duo are amazing with words, they make books you want to read over and over again.

I loved Saxon and Demi! R.L Kenderson does it again with the 6th book in the Forbidden series. I could not put this book down. Even though this book follows Saxon and Demi, you get to see more characters from the forbidden world. The way in which R.L Kenderson switches to the other characters view is so effortless, I never feel lost about where the story is going. I loved Demi whose a strong sassy female that doesn't take any shit from Saxon! Demi is half-human and half-shifter but doesn't feel like she belongs in either world. Her grandmother wanted her that no shifters can know what she is because they would kill her. Even though she knows Saxon is a shifter she can't stay away. And seeks him out once a month to help with her needs (enter steamy scenes here). When Demi gets hurt she calls Saxon and realizes that her grandmother was wrong about shifters wanting to kill her as her Alpha welcomes her to the pride. Cannot wait for more in the forbidden series!

Another great Forbidden book! Forbidden Seduction follows Saxon and Demi but we get follow ups on some of our favorite characters' lives from previous books.

I love how Demi was a strong and witty woman and can hold her own to Saxon. Demi is a half cat shifter/half human who has been kept in hiding from the shifter community. Saxon and Demi was hot and steamy together but it took a near fatal accident for Saxon's need to protect Demi to really come out.

We get teased of new relationships starting to form and I can't wait for the next book. This series just keeps get better and better with the world building and character development where you got to know what happens to the next couple.

I received an ARC of Forbidden Seductions and this is my honest review. I have also purchased this to add to my library.

Book number six and I still devoured it in a sitting! As a small fore-note, this book could be read alone, but you'd be missing a good bit. And why would you when the first five were so much fun?

I knew Saxon would have to get his comeuppance at some point: him and his love bashing didn't stand a chance! Demi was a perfect counterpoint to his roaming ways because she was his mirror. Takes being forced to get a good long look in a mirror sometimes before you realize where the problem is. Both of our protagonists were love em and leave em types, so when you threw them together and all of a sudden they couldn't NOT come back? Priceless. From both sides.

In this book we are introduced to a new faction of the non-humans who violently support pure races and we get a first had view of how far they are willing to go. We meet new people: Siya, Demi's human best friend, Eldon, a cat shifter detective, and some bad guys of course. We also get a lot closer to Kendall, the wolf shifter who moved in with the cats when Isobel moved out, and Ram, the liaison for the vampires in the cat's den. We get a lot more on Kendall than we do on Ram, so don't get too hopeful for his parts.

The story has some action, a lot of steamy romance, several cute halflings, and of course the ever present drama of mixed company. Lots of fun. I suggest you start at book one: all of them are fun. I have no idea who the next book will feature as there are several possibilities, but I'm excited for any of them!

**I voluntarily read an ARC copy of this book**

Where to start? This is the sixth book in the series and I have been in love since book one. R.L. Kenderson never fails to impress and further the story and characters. Each book focuses on one couple falling in love and overcoming obstacles and also sets up couples for future books. I don't want to leave any spoilers, but I can't wait to see which couple we see finally come together next!

I was waiting for this book with bated breath, and R.L. Kenderson brought it like always! I loved Saxon and Demi (who'd have known he was a closet cuddler?), and I'm really looking forward to seeing how things pan out with Kendall and Eldon and with Siya and Ram. I also loved seeing the interactions between Vaughn and Damien. Can't wait for the next one, ladies!

Demi Cross dosen't do relationship's, she gets her needs scratched once a month thinks to her mixed shifter half human DNA she still has needs like all cats. But her granny always warned her to stay away from other shifters they cant know your different you could be killed. So Demi goes to Club Seduction when her recent bed buddy goes and finds someone else now she needs a man but she finds Saxon instead hes a Sentinel and he thinks the little librarian dosen't belong he tries to get rid of her but her cat wants him they leave together it should have been one night but the constant no strings attached shifter wants Demi and pretty soon there meeting up allot. Saxon gives Demi his number she doesn't think she will need it and he cant find out she's a half shifter. But when Demi and her best friend Siya get attacked by a crazy mugger she goes all cat girl and needs Saxons help. They later find out that a group of prejudice shifter's want to eliminate Demi because she's not pure.

The PPP or Pure Pack Power have know Demi was out there but know they want her dead Eldon a detective and a shifter is trying to get his dumb brother out of the group and away from its leader before something bad happens and it dose but im not going to give anything away.

This is another great read by the dynamic duo of R.L. Kenderson and just one more reason that i hate when i finish there book i have to wait for another one.

But you get read about new romances and keep up with all your favorite couples. When you read about Saxon and Demi in Forbidden Seduction.

I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Demi is part human and part cat shifter which has always made her feel like she is straddling two worlds and unsure which one is her home. She has been warned that not hiding her shifter side places her in danger which only makes it that much more difficult. Once a month she needs to mate so she heads to Club Seduction to find a man and finds Saxon instead.

Saxon is a cat shifter who is drawn to Demi from the moment he sees her. She intrigues him and it was only a matter of time before the chemistry between them ignites but what was supposed to be a one night stand has now turned into a regular occurrence. When Demi is injured Saxon’s protective side emerges and he will do whatever is necessary not only to protect her but to become her mate.

Not only do we get to watch Saxon and Demi’s relationship unfold but we get to catch up with the other characters we know and love. Hot chemistry, witty banter and no shortage of drama makes this a story you won’t want to put down.

This is hands down my favorite shifter series. I love how the authors continue to build on all of the characters introduced throughout the series in each book. It allows me to see not just what is happening with the main character of the current story, but all of my favorite characters of past stories. I am already so invested in the characters of the past that it is nice to find out what is happening with previous characters such as Kenzie and Sawyer (book #3) . This particular story is about the sexy cat shifter, Saxon, finding his mate. Saxon was immediately drawn to Demi, a half-cat/half-human, when they met in a club. Demi is an independent woman, who avoided attachments to protect herself from being hurt. I love that Saxon was stubborn and persistent in his pursuit. The chemistry between the couple was hot. As a bonus, this story was full of steam and drama with the beginnings of potential relationships between Siya/Ram and also Kendall/Eldon. All in all, this story contains drama, friendship, loyalty, love and plenty of sexy scenes. It is definitely a must read like all of the books in this series. I am obviously a fan this series and would recommend to anyone looking for a sexy shifter series.

Oh my gosh. This is Book Six in this series and it was spectacular. Fantastic story writing. Awesome story. Incredible characters. And romance to carry through to the next century. I am definitely going to have to go back and read the other five books. I loved the love story between Saxon and Demi. And I’m hoping the next book is about Siya and Ram. I could not put this book down. I read the entire thing in one sitting. You will fall in love with everyone in this book. They are family. They protect each other. And I just love it when a caveman kind of guy goes after the woman of his dreams. Absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t want it to end.

Holy Wow!

There is a whole lot going on in this installment of the Forbidden Series. I enjoyed the cat and mouse, if you will, between Demi and Saxon. It amped up their intensity, which was already pretty darn intense. I’m seriously liking what seems to be happening between Ram and Siya. I already wanted to get to know more about the big vampire. Looks like we might get that chance. I’m incredibly interested in where Kendall and Eldon are headed. And, I’m absolutely enjoying the continuation of stories for the other couples. The only issue I had was that sometimes in this book there was a bit too much going on at one time. It usually slacked back off shortly there after and became easier to take in, but the congestion definitely made it difficult during those particular moments. Other than that, I just wanted more.

*I voluntarily read a review copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else's*

This is hands down one of my favourite series and I simply can’t get enough of it. It’s addictive, sexy and hot.

This story primarily focuses on Demi and Saxon but there are other potential couples that get some attention too.

Demi and Saxon were setting the sheets or any surface they could get too really, on fire. Damn, these two were explosive and as the story progressed, their love making became more intense, consuming and breathtaking.

When Demi’s life is threatened, Saxon became a whole different person. His need to protect her from danger slowly gives away his growing feelings for her. Demi was beautiful yet headstrong and I liked the fact that she didn’t set out to change a forever bachelor.

Siya was sweet and she took things a lot better than I thought she would. The sparks flying between her and Ram definitely caught my attention. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these two - I was left wanting more. Ram made her a promise but when the time came he rejected her. Will he pursue her and keep his promise?

Kendall and Eldon were practically thrown together yet the chemistry between them couldn’t be denied.

I’m going to have a Forbidden Series binge and read all the books again.

Saxon and Demi started a once-a-month relationship based on sex. Due to danger, it became daily temporarily. Saxon was blindsided by how he ended up feeling. The story has an interesting plot which focuses on different potential couples. Characters from previous books appeared and it’s kind of hard to keep track. There are steamy sex scenes. It introduced new characters that I’m curious to read about. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

Demi has grownup with somewhat warped views of being a shifter. Saxon sees something different in her and wants to protect her. Hate comes in all forms and someone evil is out to get her. But Saxon won’t let anything happen to her! A hot shifter romance! Great book!

Saxon, ever the bachelor, may have found his match with Demi. I think this is my 2nd favorite in the series. This book shows Demi's strength and stubbornness as well as shows a side of Saxon that I don't think any of us really saw coming. I love how R.L. Kenderson has the ability to write the story and the characters without overlapping their personalities. They each have their own ticks and nuances so you can tell who is who when they are talking or doing something. In a world where there are this many characters, that is always a worry, but each character in this series is their own person and it shows. The world is so complex and intricate. It doesn't fall flat or seem 2 dimensional like some books can unfortunately do. I loved this story, the complexities, and the characters. Definitely 5 stars and 2 thumbs way up for Forbidden Seduction.

Book #6 didn’t disappoint!! Demi has had it drilled into her to not share that she’s a half shifter- not to humans and definitely not to shifter for fear they would harm her. Saxon a sentinel for the shifters, sees Demi in a bar he feels she doesn’t belong in and tries to encourage her to leave. She finally does- with him!! They have a good thing (to them) going. Imagine Demi’s surprise when a critical emergency arises, and her first instinct is to call Saxon! Saxon and the pride do not disappoint!! There is also a few more budding relationships starting in this book and I can’t wait for the next book!! These ladies never disappoint me!

Who would've thought that this series could get any better... Wow. Just Wow. I absolutely love this series and this book which is the 6th in the series is about Saxon who is a cat shifter and Demi who is half human and half cat shifter but she was never taught a lot about her cat side. There is so much going on within this book that if I say too much, I would give it away. They are not the only two in this series that are front and center which for me was great. I love when these ladies use the characters throughout the series and bring them back. You have drama, danger, loyalty, steamy scenes and most of all love. This book as well as the series should be on your TBR or do a one-click as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy.

Demi has really had to live a life in secret and now all the secrets come out.

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. It was very well written and kept my attention from start to finish. The chemistry is strong between them and they work well as a couple.

I liked the mix of romance and action and there are plenty of surprises too.
