Forbidden Lust is book 1 in the Kingpin series by Brooke Summers. It looks at the story between Mia and Hudson. Before going off to college, Mia has a one-night stand with a gorgeous man, but leaves early the next morning to get on with her life. Fast forward a few years and Mia is on her way home to see her mum and meet her new step-dad and who should be there but Hudson, her one-night stand and her new stepbrother!
This was an intriguing book as it isn’t like any other mafia romance that I’ve read, especially when you find out that Hudson’s father stepped down due to him marrying Mia’s mum. The story centres around Mia and Hudson coming together and building their relationship whilst Mia learns the truth about who she is and things her mother has been hiding.
The relationship between Hudson and Mia is really steamy and they know what they want when it comes to each other, although there are times when I felt that Mia was extremely emotional and wasn’t listening to what had been said to her as well as her introduction into the Mafia. It is certainly an intense story and Mia’s mother needs a slap up in the head! Just saying!
Hudson is the quintessential alpha male and won’t let Mia bury her head in the sand which I sometimes think she was prone to doing. The side story between Mia and Hudson’s friend was intriguing and I will be interested to see where that goes.
If you like mafia romances with steamy scenes and a good story line, then this is the book for you. I will certainly be reading more by Brooke Summers!

Noooo! It can’t end yet! The ending of this book left my mouth hanging open. This was an angst, insta-lust, sexy, steamy, action-filled read.
Hudson is not a good man. He grew up with a father who was head of a drug cartel. When his father meets a woman who doesn’t want him to continue in his role, he passes on the cartel to Hudson. He is now a Kingpin, a drug lord. He’s done some bad things. When he sees Mia, she is a siren who calls to him, and he has to have her. Mia is a good girl. She is preparing to go off to college. Her friend convinces her to have one night of fun before leaving for college. This night changes everything. She has a one night stand with Hudson, not knowing who he is or what he stands for, then leaves in the morning without a note or a goodbye. Hudson has no idea who she is. All he knows is that she has turned his world upside down. He can’t forget her and tries unsuccessfully to find her. Then Mia’s mom gets married to Harrison, having no idea who her new stepbrother is. When she finds out, she is in for a huge shock and so is her new stepbrother. Things get complicated from here.
This is a first read by this author but I look forward to reading other books by her. I liked the plot. It held my interest. It does end in a cliffhanger, so I am dying to know what happens next! I enjoyed the super-steamy scenes and the chemistry between the hero and heroine. The characters in the story were great, especially Mia’s best friends. I am hoping they get their own stories! Overall, this was a really good read, and I recommend reading it.

WOW just WOW! Forbidden Lust is an amazing book. It starts off with you getting to know Mia and Sarah. They are getting ready to go off to college and want one last night of fun. They did not expect to Hudson and Jagger. The main characters Mia and Hudson are drawn to each other. They have a pull to each other and can’t explain. Hudson has a secret that he needs to share with Mia. Mia is still coming to terms with her mothers marriage. So when Mia and Hudson first met no names were exchanged and Mia vanished. Hudson has been searching only to find out that she is now his step sister. What will happen? Will They act on their chemistry? Will Mia be able to get past the issues with her mom. Does she find out who Hudson truly is? Will she be in danger? So much happens in a short time but it is intense. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

Damn I loved Hudson, I think he is my new fav book bf! He is one dangerously hot alpha, and he is set on having Mia. Mia is naive she is sweet and she also has the backbone that Hudson needs at his side. These two are seriously hot together, like light the pages on fire hot. Amazing read from a new author I have found. Can’t wait to read more from her. This book has everything a reader wants, danger, love, hot af, and an amazing story line
Mia and Hudson’s story is intense. After longing for each other and not knowing who the other is, fate steps in and now their desire is wrong. Then Hudson’s business rears its ugly head. This is a very dangerous and sexy story. Looking forward to more in the series.
The thrill of this book makes you not want to put it down!! I loved the whole thing. I think I just found a new favorite author because I can’t wait to see how it ends. Mia and Hudson are love at first sight but then she disappeared and no matter how hard he tried she couldn’t be found. But then they finally reunite and the magic is still there. That all I will say because you all need to read this book and fall inlove!!
