He closed the gap, his big hand moving to gently rest on her denim encased thigh. “I prefer more mature women. Women who know what they want and how to get it.” To all the rest of the world, Elizabeth Clarke had it all.A successful husband. A beautiful home. And now a son off to university.She is a perfect housewife with the perfect life.It’s a lie.Her husband is a lying, drinking philanderer … husband is a lying, drinking philanderer who hates her as much as she loathes him. Her home is beautiful, but empty, nothing more than a gilded cage to keep her trapped in a world she never wanted.
That is, until he came back to town.
Hugh Becket.
Her son’s best friend.
He’s hot, young, and so forbidden.
Elizabeth knows she should stay away, but when the devil comes knocking on her door in the middle of the night, what’s a poor neglected trophy wife to do?
Forbidden Desire is a super hot older woman / younger man romance. It has a HEA, NO Cliffhanger and all the steam you have come to expect from the Lord of Lust.

So hot! I love this story. There’s so much heat and chemistry. I loved how it shows both point of views and was very descriptive about what men and women think when they are in a relationship. I highly recommend this story.
Oh my….so hoooot Forbidden Desire was a shot, intense, very steamy and downright hot! Before I finish my review I just want to say that I really wish L.M. Mountford, author, had written a full length novel called Confessions of A Trophy Wife. I think Elizabeth deserves a HEA. I think her night with Hugh was not a dream and was totally real. Barring that I hope Elizabeth has a successful book based on her night with Hugh. Forbidden Desire is a short cougar novella and from the first page to the last you (readers) get engrossed and you (readers) don’t want to put Forbidden Desire down. L.M. Created a world that was so very good setting for Elizabeth (Mrs. Clarke). Highly recommended and hope everyone can enjoy the tale of Confessions of a Trophy Wife.
Another five star book from The Lord of Lust. This short story is written in the third person and will grab you from the start and you won’t want to put this down. The sex scenes are so steamy you may need to indulge in a little loving from your partner when you’re done reading.

The Lord of Lust delivers another hot and steamy read. The connection and chemistry between these forbidden characters will melt your kindle. A very enjoyable read!
Good story with an reverse agegap and taboo relationship. An older woman seduces a younger guy and it is hot!
I can definately recommend it.
Steamy! I’ve volunteered to review this book for United Indie Book Blog. I love to read books from LM Mountford. This is Elizabeth and Hugh’s story. There’s so much heat and chemistry between them it could melt your kindle. This is about an older woman/younger man. Hugh is Elizabeth son’s best friend. Elizabeth is all but a trophy wife. This is a quick read and easy. It’s so deliciously sexy, forbidden, sinfully hot, with plenty of steamy moments. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Keep up the awesome work! If you love reading about older woman/ younger man this is the PERFECT for you.
Our heroine is trapped in a loveless marriage, but finds even cages have doors.
This is a short erotic story with an older/younger and semi-taboo theme. The story is very well written and easy to read, with a well developed background that sets the story in motion. Our characters have a bit of depth to them, which is nice. The plot is good and proceeds at a nice pace while including plenty of enjoyable steam. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

This is a quick spicy read you do not want to miss out on. What happens when your son leaves town and you realize his hot best friend is back in town? This book will definitely melt your kindle with the heat index.
I thought this book was a great read and loved the characters. I’m sure you will too if you love forbidden romances.
Elizabeth Clarke seems to have it all. Family, beautiful home, the life many people dream of, but perfection isn’t all its cracked up to be. Her life is unsatisfying, a husband who cheats and her son going off to university. What’s a middle-aged woman to do? Well when you show up at your best friend’s home, and your sons best friend has grown up into a hotter than hell man, and wants nothing more than to devour you do you break the vows you made? Or do you let Hugh, your sons best friend do what he wishes with you… If you want a steamy, sexy, older woman younger man read, then this if the book for you. It will make you fan yourself and bite your lip.
Forbidden Desires is the first book that I have read from author L.M. Mountford. I enjoyed reading this short story from beginning to end. I read it all in a few hours. I will say that it is very short, shorter than I thought it would be… but that made it a quick and easy read. It’s perfect for an afternoon getting lost in a good book. Elizabeth Clarke is a married woman, whose son has just flown the coop to go to college. After his departure she is feeling very indifferent because of the drastic changes that have suddenly happened with her son being gone. Elizabeth spends a lot of time at home being a house wife. Her husband is absent pretty much all the time on his business trips, where it is no secret that he takes other women to bed. Elizabeth doesn’t understand how her life has ended up the way it has, with her son being away as well as her unfaithful husbands, leaving her all alone and lonely. She remedies this by going over to her best friends’ house for a surprise visit. Instead she gets the surprise of her life instead. She is met at the door by her sons best friend, Hugh. He is all grown up and all man now. He has an agenda of his own… and it happens Liz is on it and has been for a while. The desire between these two is strong and urgent. The scenes between them are scorching hot!! Hugh makes Liz feel like there is more to her life, like she is more than just a trophy wife. I will say that the writing and storyline is amazing. I love reading forbidden stories and this one measured up to my expectations. However the ending was a little abrupt and confusing for me. It left me a little disappointed. Despite the ending, this was an overall great read.M
This book was a quick read filled with a lot of heat. Elizabeth’s son has just left for college and she finds that her life is not the way she saw it when she was at this age. Her husband travels for work and is having affairs. An unplanned trip to a friend’s house finds Elizabeth in a situation with one of her son’s friends that reminds her what it is like to be a wanted woman. She finds herself in quite the predicament…between being the dutiful trophy wife and feeling the passion of a lover makes her feel wanted and cherished.
This book took less than an hour to read, but I definitely had to fan myself off a few times. The scenes with Elizabeth and Hugh were H-O-T hot! I would have liked more of the story going forward…but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t happy with the story I got!
Forbidden Desire Book 1 by L.M. Mountford
4 stars
This was a nice short read. The romance and steam was there but I wish there was more story and background. This could have made for a nice novel but the story was still nice for the length it was. The way the book ended and how the title says Book 1, I am hopeful this will be a nice mini series. I feel terrible that Mrs. Clarke is forced to put up with not being satisfied by her husband and the frustration she feels, so when Hugh comes into the picture, I am happy she can finally start to find herself again. It really seems like Hugh, her son’s best friend, really is in love with her and I think there will be a lot of heartache and love coming from it. Again, a really nice short read, I look forward to seeing what happens next.
Forbidden Desire (Confessions of a Trophy Wife #1) by L.M. Mountford was a steamy 4 star read.
Elizabeth is in a marriage that has diminished the last few years. She doesn’t feel the love and romance that was once there. Her husband is always gone for work and now her son has gone off to college. She has the whole house to herself and she is extremely lonely.
When she goes to her best friends house she ends up seeing Hugh. Hugh is not only her best friend’s son but her son’s best friend. You can feel their connection as soon as she walks in the house. They have a steamy moment, however she rushes off. Hugh is not letting her get away that easily and shows up at her house. Will Elizabeth push him away again?
Overall this was a quick read with lots of steamy moments. I rated it a four because it felt rushed in some areas. I also would have liked to have gotten a little more to the story. There is a little twist that threw me off and I had to reread that piece. Note, if you don’t like cheating this isn’t the book for you. If you like hot and steamy (melt your kindle) then you will want to 1-click. I read this in a couple of hours. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.
If you’re looking for something hot and steamy then I definitely reccomend this book! The author truly has a way with words! I was lost in the story and finished this in one sitting, and would do it again! I look forward to the second book and more from L.M. Mountford! I can’t wait to see where Elizabeth and Hugh’s story goes next!
The only disappointment is that this short story is one you want to keep going. When you read Elizabeth’s background of her life it makes you wonder why she’s so ‘depressed’ with her life when it appears to be perfect. Quickly you feel sorry for her and want her to have more, and then the story really comes to life. I’ve never read a book with this kind of story with the age difference, and the way he writes about Elizabeth doesn’t make it feel sleazy. It’s a good very short read.
Elizabeth is a housewife and mother who’s some just left for university. She has a routine and seems lost without someone to care for. Her husband is distant, unfaithful and rarely home. Elizabeth heads to her friend Jennifer’s house and is met with an unexpected visitor.
This book was a short, steamy read about a lonely, neglected housewife finding herself and a little fun.
Forbidden Desires: Taken by her Son’s Best Friend (Confessions of a Trophy Wife Book 1) by L.M. Mountford was a super steamy read! This is a quick read with a lot of action! I enjoyed the twist at the end and cannot wait to get more dirt. The details were super steamy and written well. I liked the characters too, they connected well and the not steamy parts felt relatable.
Holy hotness. Definitely not something I usually read but oh it was so good!!! Quick, steamy read. Elizabeth is an older woman in a loveless marriage and she falls for her sons friend. My first book from this author, it wasn’t bad!
