Forbidden Temptation

Rate this book
He saved me. Again. The man I want.

The man that I love.

But it’s never going to be that simple for either of us.

He says what we did together was a mistake. That all I’ll ever find with him is darkness and danger. That I deserve better.

He doesn’t see that I don’t care. That he’s everything I want and more–and that I believe in him, and us. I’m not afraid of the darkness, if he’s willing to be my light.

My past has never left me, and now his is coming for us both. There’s no leaving right now, for either of us. This is my chance, if he’ll let me, to show him everything that we can be together. That I’m stronger than he knows–and that he’s everything I dreamed of.

I’m his forbidden temptation.

And he’s mine.

M. James

65 books408 followers
Prepare to be captivated by the sensational world of M. James, the mastermind behind a genre-defying realm of romance and intrigue. With a pen dipped in passion and a heart that beats to the rhythm of forbidden desires, M. James weaves tantalizing tales that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.

Follow her to the dark side where strong heroines fearlessly navigate treacherous paths and damaged heroes find solace in their darkest corners. Her words will wrap around your senses like a seductive embrace, transporting you to a world where love and danger dance a wicked tango.

M. James resides in the suburbs of Chicago but lives for the big moments that make life interesting. Although writing brings her passion and darkest fantasies alive, watching suspenseful thrillers with her two dogs and loving husband brings her excitement in the most exhilarating way. Nonetheless, getting lost in a dark mafia romance along with a tall glass of wine makes any day a bit juicier.

From enemies to lovers to forbidden romances, M. James' stories of passion, intrigue, and betrayal will keep you hooked until the very end. If your appetite craves the intoxicating prose of Rina Kent or the allure of Sophie Lark, prepare to be entangled in M. James' captivating new series. But be warned, dear reader, for her world is not for the faint of heart. It is a world where inhibitions are shed, and inhibitions are tested. It is a world where passion reigns supreme, and where the pursuit of love can ignite a blaze that consumes all in its path.

Suspense, Circumstance, Forbidden Love

M. James knocks it out of the park with Book 2 of Max & Sasha’s story. We have had this build up of their desires and lust for each other through so many encounters and experiences. However, now that they’ve given in to these temptations there is no going back. However, Max is struggling with his decisions and desires. He has to keep Sasha safe but the sacrifice he must make isn’t one that will keep her happy or safe. The choices he makes will make you angry and hurt. Max is making bad decisions and Sasha is the one with the broken heart and crushed spirit. Of course this a trilogy so the cliffhanger is a hard one to swallow but as always M. James never lets us down but waiting for this final book is going to be torture! Happy Reading!!

I love Max and Sasha together. And now there is real danger to her from a past she doesn’t even know about.
And bless his heart, Max, ever sacrificing, decides he needs to do something that will shatter Sasha to save her.
It’s quite tiring honestly. He breaks his celibacy vow with her about as often as he breaks her heart, telling her they can never be together.
Get yourself together, man.
And the ending here? Well I will be looking forward to their conclusion in the next book.

Max is infuriating

Started off too slow for me. Then it picked up and got really interesting. I love Sasha; broken, kind, strong young woman. Max comes across as weak and a coward. I almost like his younger brother better. But their chemistry and loyalty is hot. I love the series but right now I am not happy about Max. (My least favourite character in this otherwise wonderful series.) I don't know how he can be redeemed? Ok M James let's see what you got? You have left me so upset!

Another great read

The 2nd book of Sasha & Max gives us the life of hiding out in Italy then onto a twist that causes Max's future path to do a 180 and Sasha to suffer the consequences.

While we had some great scenes in this book. Just like Isabella & Niall's 2nd book it left me in tears with the complete breakdown of their relationship and any sort of hope that they had for it.

We were left on a cliffhanger leading into the next book.

Heart breaking 💔

This book is heartbreaking. Sasha has gone through so much why, why continue to make her suffer? Max is so confused and though I don't like Art, he is right, Max is not his own man, and until he is, he will continue to hurt Sasha. I don't think I can wait till the 29th. I need a sneek preview of book 3. The anticipation is going to kill me!!!

Temptation & Responsibility

M. James 2nd book in the Forbidden series is just as exciting as the first . Every chapter brings intrigue and action which paths the way for the third and last book of the Forbidden series. Can't wait to take this path to the very last sentence!
