A repressed vampire princess. A handsome stranger. A forbidden night that changes everything. Next in line to lead the vampire species, Naya Kensington is set to mate with a male of her parents’ choosing. But before she’s trapped in a loveless relationship forever, she breaks the rules and crosses the river to attend a new nightclub. Discontent and numb, everything changes when she meets Vaughn … numb, everything changes when she meets Vaughn Llewelyn. He’s unlike any human she’s ever met before, and he makes her feel something again.
What Naya doesn’t know is that Vaughn is a cat-shifter, and once he senses Naya, he and his cat want her.
Breaking her own rules, Naya takes Vaughn home for the night and does the unthinkable.
She drinks his blood. Something she’s only allowed to do from other vampires—and never from a male she’s not mated with.
Neither Naya nor Vaughn could imagine how this act will change both of their lives forever…as well as the world of everyone around them.

The first book in a series has the future Alpha of a Pride of cat shifters and a vampire princess meeting and becoming involved. One night Naya went to a new club with her best friend to try and forget her coming arranged betrothal. While their she met Vaughn and went home with him. Soon their one night stand became more and through calls, texts, and meetings they continued their relationship until she felt she had to break it off because of her responsibility to her people to marry a vampire picked by her parents. When she became ill and was forced to the dr. it was to learn that she was going to have aughns ‘ baby giving them the chance to be together that they had both wanted. I enjoyed this book and the story of Vaughn and Naya who got together despite the challenges against them. There is no cheating and no cliffhanger to this book.
I usually am not in favor of cross species. Meaning shifters and vamps. But this one hooked me looking at both sides of their worlds. We get to learn about Naya and her life and struggles being a vampire princess. On the other hand we learn about
Vaughn and his family and friends. Their jobs and struggles. Then we get to see Vaughn and Naya together and……WOW! I mean the chemistry is OFF the CHARTS from the beginning and it just get better.
All that being said I wasn’t a fan of the ending. It almost seems like the author wanted to leave a cliffhanger but tried to smooth it over with an epilogue. I probably won’t read on. Especially when I saw Sawyer and Kenzie’s story will be two books. I am just not a fan of all that.
A STORY I COULDN’T PUT DOWN
A vampire princess and a cat alpha-in-line meet up and cause all kinds of tensions between the two clans. Naya, not knowing shifters exist and Vaughn, a cat shifter who knows she’s a vampire meet up in a bar and the excitement and intrigue begins. There is intrigue, betrayal, self-doubt, jealousy and lots of romance.
This was my first R.L Kenderson book as well as the first paranormal book I’ve ever read and I am hooked!!! I love this book! Especially how it set for for future books on the series without taking away from the main characters! Naya is the vampire princess who falls for Cat shifter Vaughan without know what he is! You can feel the heat and steam between Vaughan and Naya. R.L Kenderson made me fall in love with paranormal romance books!!!
I love the book like om obsessed with this book series I cant wait to read forbidden heat an all the rest
Forbidden Blood is the 1st book in the Forbidden Series by R.L Kenderson and a must read!
The book goes about a Vampire Princess (Naya) and Next in line Alpha of the Shifters (Vaugen). Although they are so different in many ways, they are attracted to one another.
In the beginning of the book Naya thinks that Vaugen is a Human just to later find out that he is actually a Shifter. They face obstacles that are tarring them a part! Is their love strong enough to overcome there obstacles?? And with all the drama that is happening around them they get some unsuspected news that will change their lives forever…..
In this book my emotions was sky high and the book kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more!! This is a must have to read and you can take my word on it!!!
I loved this book. I loved the characters, the story-line, and the detail. It’s not a story that you find in every book, so it’s a fresh take on a vampire/shifter book.
An excellent book about a, vampire princess and the Prince of the cat shifters. They have no idea who the other is when they meet, just that they’re crazy about each other. While all this family drama is playing out, there is evil in the background. Planning the demise of the dominant cat shifter family, along with the princess. There’s always that person who wants to become leader. However, they know they don’t have a chance, doing things properly, by challenging the Alpha to a fight. So, Mr looser plans behind everyone’s back.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I freaking loved this! I loved the different take on vampires and shifters! I loved the fact that for once vampires and shifters were making human like mistakes. You mean they didn’t know that instant other paranormals were in the room?!!!
Vaughn. Sigh. Were to start with Vaughn. I guess, I loved how you know he’s gotta be something more but Kenderson doesn’t reveal it right away. They leave you guessing as to where they are going to go with it. And Vaughn is most definitely alpha! I love how he was mindful of Naya and how she was raised so he gave her choices on most things.
Naya seemed kind of a push over at first but really started to grow into her own at the end.
At one point in the book I thought it was pretty much over. It seemed a good spot to end it and even though there wasn’t much drama it was still a good read. Well it continued and the plot just thickend. My first thought was great, here comes the fluff to make the book longer…..boy was I wrong. I stayed locked in that book and here I am just finished the second book and am just now writing my review for this one. Lol. Need. I say more?
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. Also, this is my first time with these authors and it won’t be my last.
This story was awesome. I got so wrapped up in it, I couldn’t put it down. Naya is a vampire princess set to be the next queen & marry the male her parents choose, but she really doesn’t want that. She’s the perfect daughter, & princess always doing what is expected of her. Her BFF, Kenzie, is human and she knows Naya is a vampire. But what they both don’t know is that shifters exist. Naya meets a hot, sexy guy, Vaughn, has wild sex, & a hot connection, but she has no clue he’s a shifter. I don’t want to reveal any more of the story, but know it was gr8. There’s predjudism with vampires & humans, vampires & shifters, and even shifters & humans. So much going on. Sneaky plots to kill people & abductions. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up.
I love paranormal stories! If you like Vampires and Shifters’s stories, you should like this Series. Their World, described by R.L. Kenderson, is different than what I’ve listened before and I loved it! This was my first R.L. Kenderson’s book and won’t be the last! Forbidden Blood is the first book in this steamy paranormal romance series and this story is so much more than what I have expected! I was hooked from the first page to the end. I love the main characters, Vaughn and Naya. Their chemistry is really strong and steamy! The secondary characters are also very interesting. This story is well written, entertaining and captivating, filled with twists and turns. The Epilogue is beautiful. I can’t wait for the next book in the Series. The narration was really well done and easy to listen. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
A vampire princess, a shifter, a forbidden relationship, arranged marriage… Interesting story with tons of steam and fair bit of romance. It is a full length novel with intrigue and action although there are spots in the story that can be a little slow. Some cliffhanger at the end to be continued in the next book.
Wow, I have another favorite author. The story is great and moves along without those awkward pages some books have. The characters were interesting and fun. The book has so many twists and turns you never find a dull time. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and find out what new adventures come. This is a series you don’t want to miss.
