Reviews by Jackie & Marina: The Forbidden by Jodi Ellen Malpas





THE FORBIDDEN by Jodi Ellen Malpas 
A new story of dangerous temptations from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the This Man trilogy. 

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.

“Every kiss, every sexy scene, every word between this pair owned a piece of my soul.  I could read this book a hundred times and still react as if it was the first time.  The Protector is a top 2016 fave for me.” –Audrey Carlan, #1 bestselling author of The Calendar Girl series

The Forbidden is a very different side to Jodi Ellen Malpas's writing, it's raw, it's dark, it's heart wrenching , its witty and as the title says it's Forbidden, that being said it captivated me, it drew me in, a taboo subject with plenty of angst but I couldn't put it down and I read it in one sitting.
This is a standalone featuring Jack Joseph and Annie Ryan a couple who meet in a bar, one thing leads to another and they end up having the best night of their lives, never to meet again or will they, fate sometimes works in mysterious ways.....
I fell for Jack big time (I didn't want to, I wanted to hate him) but he sucked me in just like he sucked Annie in and although I struggled at times with the story I needed to know how fate worked out for them. Every character in this book is strong and has depth, the supporting characters are loyal and witty whilst staying true to their own beliefs. This book is a beautifully written story that will have you on a emotional roller coaster, i felt every emotion possible in those few hours and in the end I have to say this is quite possible the best we have seen from Jodi Ellen Malpas and I don't say that lightly I'm a huge Jesse fan. What's next for this very talented writer who knows, she seems to be going from strength to strength and is not afraid to cover subjects others skim over.
I loved it, great job Jodi.

Captivated
Enthralled
Overheated
Sizzling tension....
I had no idea going into this book about what The Forbidden could mean!
Yes, it's about something forbidden but in my eyes you cannot deny such a strong connection the characters have!!!
I absolutely loved all the characters bar one, when you read the book you will know who I mean!
I loved the way the story folded, the sizzling connection you could FEEL, the banter was great between Annie and her friends!
I just thoroughly enjoyed this romance story that had my heart hammering in my chest at what could happen!
I experienced a multitude of emotions whilst reading and I really liked the way it ended!!
I have to say this would have to be one of my favourite books by this author and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us to read next!
Jack and Annie's story will amaze you but may make you question some things and that's ok!! Life is all about the experience!!
