Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the This Man series comes a "brave, cutting-edge romance" (Library Journal) that begs the question: what would you do if you fell in love with someone you can't have?

Annie has never experienced the "spark" with a guy -- the kind of instant chemistry that steals your breath and blindsides you completely. Until a night out with friends brings her face to face with the wickedly sexy and mysterious Jack. It's not just a spark that ignites between them. It's an explosion. Jack promises to consume Annie, and he fully delivers on that promise.

Overwhelmed by the intensity of their one night together, Annie slips out of their hotel room. She is certain that a man who's had such a powerful impact on her and who could bend her to his will so easily, must be dangerous. But she's already in too deep. And Jack isn't only dangerous. He is forbidden.

Goodreads review by Shabby on August 17, 2017

The forbidden is too irresistible. It has a dangerous allure and a compelling magnetism. And it’s certainly going to inflict pain and anguish. And yet we gravitate towards it like masochist suckers It's a very delicate balance to attempt to venture into the Forbidden trope and neutrally justify the s......more

Goodreads review by Dana on June 04, 2018

This book was nothing like I thought it’d be. It was gut-wrenchingly angsty, with an intense rollercoaster ride through the gamut of emotions – betrayal, anger, passion, sympathy, and of course, love. At first, I took issue with the premise of this book. I was outraged at the fact that a man could ev......more

Goodreads review by Maria✦❋Steamy Reads Blog❋✦ on August 08, 2017

NOW LIVE! AMAZON ➦This is certainly different than any other book by Jodi Ellen Malpas that I have read before. She picked a very tough subject to tackle, for sure. This is probably not a book for readers who enjoy ‘safe’ reads and are sensitive about taboo subjects. But if you, like me, enjoy an ‘ou......more

*****FIVE+++++++ STARS***** {ARC Generously Provided by Author} I would never have put myself in this situation for anything less than powerful love. The kind that keeps you going. The kind that gives you breath and life. Jack’s my life. He’s my pulse. He’s everything. Jodi Ellen Malpas has brought her......more

Goodreads review by Sophia on September 17, 2017

He said if the Fates ever led me to him again, he wouldn't let me go. And he just did. To go and meet his wife. So...hmm...I think I may love this story for slightly different reasons in comparison to the reasons most of the others readers liked it. Reason 1 for loving this story: The infidel......more

Quotes

"A brave, cutting-edge romance...This is a worthwhile read."—Library Journal on The Forbidden

"The Forbidden is a gut-wrenching tale full of passion, angst, and heart! Not to be missed!"

"The Forbidden is the kind of novel that is almost impossible to not fall in love with. It is beautifully written and compelling"—Once Upon a Book Blog

"The Forbidden is a gripping book that will have you tearing at the pages. I couldn't stop reading. I give Jodi so much credit and props for going there and not shying away from this subject that makes so many uncomfortable. I am giving this book 4.5 out 5 stars."—Take Me Away to a Great Read Blog

"Just title alone should give you a clue that this book is chock-full-o-angst. Two people with crazy chemistry that shouldn't be together. Watching them fight the pull was awesome. I love the angst and the banter and the pent-up passion. Even though you know they shouldn't be together, you can't help but to cheer them on. Go in with an open mind and you'll love every word."—Shameless Book Club Blog

"First of all, I tip my hat to the author for doing something that is different from her norm and tackling a subject that many people will automatically write off due to the subject matter alone. I'm one of those readers who doesn't really have any hard limits and I'm so thankful for that. Otherwise, I truly believe I would miss out on some great books. I think some people will miss out on how good The Forbidden is due to it not fitting in their 'safe' category."—The Heathers' Blog

"You guys!!! You see this book? EPIC. BLOODY BRILANT! I absolutely LOVED it! I had the hardest time putting it down to get daily chores done. The characters Annie and Jack just sucked me in and I devoured their story!"—The Smut-Brarians Blog

"This exquisitely written story comes with complex characters and a very engaging story line that will keep you teetering on the edge of your seat! Jack and Annie's relationship is intense, passionate, sweet and downright heartbreaking at times, and I just couldn't help but get wrapped up into their forbidden world, devour all their little secrets. I highly recommend this one, it's just too good to pass up!!"—Red's Romance Reviews
