With a tortured past, she’s a cat-shifter who refuses to get close to anyone. Yet she can’t seem to resist the leader of the vampire protectors.Phoenix Kaplan has never felt a connection like the one she has with Dante Leonidas. She might service him monthly, allowing him to feed from her blood, but as much as her body tells her differently, she knows it can be nothing more, not with her … more, not with her insecurities and inability to be intimate with a male.
That is, until she realizes the one thing she desires most in the world is something he could give her…and she propositions him to get her pregnant.
She’s never wanted anything more than to be a mother, and all she needs is this one thing from Dante.
Although he should refuse, Dante can’t resist the temptation. He’s addicted not only to her blood, but also to the enigma that is purely Phoenix. And he is determined to prove to her that he can give her much more than what she asked for.
She might protect her heart with an impenetrable wall, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to break down that wall in order to get what he desires most in the world.

THINGS DON’T ALWAYS SEEM TO GO AS PLANNED
Phoenix Kaplan is a cat shifter that has a past that makes her hide her body and believes that she can’t have an orgasm. Dante Leoinidas is a vampire that once he has fed from Phoenix is enamored with her. She goes to him willingly monthly to let him feed from her. Phoenix is attracted to Dante but won’t admit it. When she finally does, she asks him to father a child with her. He agrees. Phoenix’s first heat does not seem to produce a pregnancy and she breaks up with Dante. Dante breaks down Phoenix’s walls only to have her build them back up.
Dante and Phoenix are probably my favorite couple!!! I loved this book and Dante is my favorite male character! The steam between them is off the charts!!!!!
When cat-shifter Phoenix feeds vampire Dante they never expected to form such a bond. Phoenix can not stand the thought of his feeding from another, but because of a past filled with abuse she has a fear of men. For Dante to claim her he has to be patient and prove he is not like those in her past. When they finally connect and bond it is threatened, Phoenix must come to terms with her demons to have the HEA that they both want. This is part of a series and though reading it as so enriches the experience it can be read as a stand-alone.
Dante and Phoenix are my all-time favorite Forbidden couple! Steamy and sweet at the same time. I loved this story of a woman who’s been through so much pain in her life learning to trust and open herself up to love.
Forbidden Addiction is the 4th book in the Forbidden series by R.L Kenderson and is Dante & Phoenix’s book with some new Characters in it.
This book was filled with emotion! I fell in love with Dante & Phoenix story. It was really like a fairy tale. The Love, The Hurt, The Regret and so much more made this book worth the read. ( I am not going to give any Hints about the book except what I have mentioned above because I don’t think anything I say can describe this Book for all its worth and you really need to experience this for yourself!!)
At some parts of the book I had to remind myself that I was just the reader and not the Characters them self. I loved how R.L Kenderson put some of the 9old characters of the first 3 books in the 4th book with some new characters that I cant wait to meet! But I really LOVED the part of Vaughn & Naya that they put in the book ( I am totally in love with those two’s story).
After the 1st Book in the Series I read I thought to myself is the next one going to be as good as the first one but like always R.L Kenderson has out done them self’s and Each book just gets better and better and it leaves you wanting more!!
** spoiler alert ** She struggles with letting people close, he is determined to get past her walls. They make a deal, but feelings become involved. Will she realize what they have before it is too late? Will they get what they both want so bad?
I have to say, I loved seeing Phoenix letting her walls down. I didn’t blame Phoenix for having the struggles she did, but loved seeing her allow him past them and taking that chance. He definitely had the patience of a saint and I loved how he was determined to prove that she could trust him. Definitely can’t wait to read the next ones!
First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Holy shiznet!! This story was Gr8. Again it meshes together with the other 3 books. This story was a 2 for 1, it was not only Phoenix & Dante’s story but also Lexie & Sterling’s story. This story also introduced Hunter & Quentin. Phoenix had so many hangups with sex & relationships it was miracle that she & Dante connected. But, Dante was patient and caring and that was the ticket. Lexie was so hung up on Dante, that she almost lost the chance to really love someone, Sterling. Again, I laughed and I cried. I can’t wait for the next story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I’m not even sure where to start with this review. I loved this book just as much as the other three and I’m really hoping this isn’t the last of the forbidden series. I want more!
Dante has got to be one of the most patient males ever. He took everything with Phoenix so slowly. I could of loved him for that alone. Phoenix knows she will never truly be comfortable with anyone to have a good healthy relationship but her biggest secret is that she wants to be a mother one day. She decides that since Dante has sworn to never hurt her, he is the one to help her fulfill her biggest dream. I loved their relationship and how it slowly develops and Phoenix starts opening up to Dante.
Again the secondary characters leave me wanting more. I’m still so curious about Zane and Isa, I need to know what happens with them!! Poor Hunter, so confused and unsure about his developing feelings for Quentien.
Forbidden Addiction was a great paranormal read. This is the first book I’ve read in the series so I would say that it can be read as a standalone. However, while reading this story, I did get the sense that I missed a few things from not having read the previous books, but having not read them didn’t make this read any less enjoyable. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I enjoyed it so much that I finished this book in one sitting. I liked that each of the couples were in completely different situations and yet they all overcame their fears; well most of them. I’m excited to read more of Hunter and Quentin to see if things come full circle for them. This group definitely worked well as a whole, vampire guardians and shifters. They still have a lot to learn and a lot to change as a group. Phoenix and Dante were my favorite couple but I enjoyed them all; Kenzie & Sawyer, Lexine & Sterling and Vaughn& Naya. This book was full of action, revenge, betrayal and steamy scenes and I look forward to reading more books from this author in the future. There were heartfelt moments and surprises and the ending was sweet. I definitely look forward to reading the previous books and future books in this series, and highly recommend this one to readers who enjoy great paranormal reads.
