A love like ours was never meant to exist. It pushed every boundary. Broke every rule. My heart couldn’t deny what I felt for him, and my body couldn’t ignore his touch. He was my step-brother and what we had might be real… but it was also forbidden. Dear Reader,Falling for the Forbidden is the first part of Ben and Lauren’s story. It’s emotional, full of angst, has plenty of steam and will … emotional, full of angst, has plenty of steam and will leave you wanting more!
This is also the first book in my new Forbidden series which is a spin-off from my Falling series but can be read independently from that series.

I couldn’t get into this story. Lauren is way too immature. Ben is too angry. Her father seems like a jerk. His mother is too happy. I just didn’t care what happened to them. The sex scenes might have been better if the characters were more engaging. Just not worth the time to read.

I feel the same as Lauren, heartbroken because it ended with Ben gone from their lives. How is that protecting her. What’s going on in his mind?

Oh dear… I’m in trouble. “Falling for the Forbidden is the emotional first installment of Tracy Lorraine’s new spinoff trilogy of her Falling series.” Looks like I have two more books I’ll be adding to my TBR list! Heck, I’m really not sure why step-siblings aren’t allowed to have a relationship, but without that premise, would Ms. Lorraine’s story be as entertaining? This reader is not going to question that!!! I sat down and read this great book in one sitting, and can’t wait for number two! Great read!
This book was written well with a good storyline. I enjoyed it even though it’s not a favorite of mine. Because Tracy Lorraine writes so well, I couldn’t help becoming invested in the characters. The emotions…. Gah! I was all over the place emotionally. Even though I hate cliffhangers, I’ve learned it’s well worth the wait.

This is a well written forbidden love story about step siblings who can’t seem to stay away from each other. Their story is a roller coaster ride of emotions. The writing is great and I felt for the characters and everything they go through to be together. This is the first book in a trilogy and it ends in a cliffhanger. I look forward to reading the rest of their story to see if Lauren and Ben get their HEA.
First let me say I usually like Tracy Lorraine’s books but I severely struggled with this one
First there was way too much angst I felt like it was two very immature teenagers and Lauren just annoyed me no end with her carrying on Ben was just a jerk and while Jerks often grow on me he didn’t at all. Then my pet peeve we ended on a cliffhanger This annoys me no end. While the story of these step siblings had potential it just didn’t work for me
This is the first book I have read by Tracy Lorraine and thought she did a good job with the characters and storyline. This is book one of Ben and Lauren’s story and does end in a cliffhanger. This quick read is about step siblings who are attracted to each other but things change when her father finds out.

Lauren and Ben are step siblings who have an attraction for each other but they try to fight it until she helps him one night when he has one too many to drink. They start a secret affair that just may get out of control when her father finds out. This ends in a cliffhanger which I am not happy about.

This was a pretty quick read but it sucked me in. Ben was supposed to be a bad boy, according to Lauren. He was anything but. The moments were passionate, fun and a little naughty. When it came to Lauren, Ben was a prince charming and a knight in shining armor. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the series holds.
This book was really hard to understand the concept of what the author wanted to relay to this reader. Questions: why all the anger? What happened to Ben to make him the type of person he is?
There was no back story to give me any information as to who they are as a person. Maybe if the story was written with dual POV it would make more sense.
Unfortunately I will not be waiting for the next book.

This is a fast-paced, well-written story. It is the first book of a trilogy, and of course, ends with a cliffhanger in the telling of Ben and Lauren’s story.
Ben and Lauren become step-siblings. As Lauren is preparing for her start at the university, she is forced to work for her controlling father and must move back into the family home. She and Ben are immediately aware of each other and attracted to each other, even though such a romance is forbidden. Nevertheless, they give in to their feelings and start a relationship making it necessary for Ben to leave when the truth comes out. Will that be the end of things? With guilt heaped upon a feeling of unworthiness, will Ben stay away? Or was the relationship more real than they knew, calling to them both that they were about to lose something very precious?
This book has plenty of emotion the reader will feel throughout the pages, allowing clear insight to what the characters are going through. The story line will definitely hold the reader’s attention. Grab your copy and see how Ben and Lauren cope with the difficult challenges they will have to face.
Ends in a cliffhanger as it is one of three books.
Nicely written.
If given the opportunity I would read the next two books for a complete review. Would not buy them personally as a little young for my reading taste.

This is a great start to a new series which ends in a cliff-hanger (which I typically can’t stand as I’m too impatient for the next installment). But, since I read this one now I’m enthralled and can’t wait for more…fast paced and enjoyable story line and characters make this read a really good one!

Lauren moves in with her father to work at his company for the summer before she starts at uni. Her stepmother’s son is there as well – most of the time. Ben is dark and brooding, and he hates Lauren’s father. Things begin to smolder. There’s a kiss, a picnic, dinner. Then the parents leave for the weekend. They begin a relationship, with her mother’s blessing. But the you-know-what hits the fan when her father finds out. I really liked this story – the characters worked well together. But there is a huge cliffhanger – I’m generally not a fan unless I’ve been warned in advance.

Lauren has been living with her mom but when her father offers to pay for college if she moves in with him, she agrees reluctantly agrees. She and her stepbrother, Ben, have always avoided each other more than anything but one night she helps him after he comes home drunk and electricity sizzles between them. Sneaking around is never a good thing. What will happen when Lauren’s father finds out what’s been going on under his roof? This is a great book. I can’t wait to read what happens next for Lauren and Ben (darn cliffhangers)

I love Ben!!! However, I did not realize that the ending was done the way that it was and now have to wait for the rest. Lauren and Ben had an amazing story going, “forbidden” but amazing. Her dad though, oh my! No words can express for him. Now, anxiously awaiting the next book.

This. Is a quick fast paced forbidden love story between step brother and sister. WhenLauren is forced to live with her controlling father and work for him before going to the university, she never expected to be so attracted to Ben her stepbrother. The attraction goes both ways and when they finally succumb to their feelings, they know Lauren’s dad will be furious. He dislikes Ben already and belittles him every chance he gets.. This ends in a cliffhanger, which I hate, but look forward to the next book in this trilogy.
