During the struggle, Sawyer is hit on the head. He wakes up not remembering who he is, who Kenzie is, and most importantly, that he hates his attraction to her.

Forbidden Temptation is the third book in R.L. Kenderson’s steamy paranormal romance series. If you like alpha males, spicy shifters, forbidden love, and hot sex, then you’ll love the third installment in this series that gets better and better with each book.

YOU CAN’T FIGHT LOVE – NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
The saga continues with Sawyer, a cat shifter who hates humans, and Kenzie, a human who happens to be Sawyer’s mate. This story is a continuation/standalone of Forbidden Heat where Sawyer and Kenzie were kidnapped. I love the interaction between all the characters and the parallel story of Dante, a vampire, and Phoenix, a cat shifter with a horrible past that has bled into her present. A good read all around
Cat-shifter Sawyer hates humans and denies the fact that his cat has picked one for a mate. When he is wounded while he and Kenzie escape from thier kidnappers and wakes up with amnesia he wants to claim her as his mate. Knowing that when he remembers who he is Kenzie tries to protect her heart. Once Sawyers memory returns all his old issues do as well and he once again pushes Kenzie away. Only when he is on the verge of loosing her forever does he face his feelings and fights for her. This can be read as a stand-alone but is part of a larger story and would be best read as part of the series. This was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve been wanting Kenzie and Sawyer’s story since the first book in the series and R.L Kenderson did not disappoint!!! I loved everything about this book! Kenzie is my favorite female character and I love Sawyer!
This is a great addition to this awesome series! Sexy shifters, hot hot hot and steamy sex, Great storyline and I just adore Isabelle and zane and just could not put this down!

Until next time… Happy Reading!
Forbidden Temptation is the 3rd book in the Forbidden Series by R.L Kenderson and it follows on the 2nd book of the Forbidden Series.
It takes place after Sawyer & Kenzie are kidnapped and they escape from their Captors.
Book 3 is Sawyer & Kenzie’s story. They face some ups and downs. In some parts of the book it feels like you want to get into the book and slap some sense into Sawyer but he eventually opens his eyes and sees what has been in front of him the whole time and Kenzie can’t stop herself from falling head over heels in love with him even if she tries to contain herself.
There are also some hints about book 4 at the end. This is an amazing Series.
I fell in love with the 1st book and couldn’t stop reading.
Not once have I felt disappointed in one of the Forbidden books that I have read. These authors know how to impress and hook someone to their books ( I mean who doesn’t want some Alpha Love) I can’t wait to Start reading the 4th book.
if you want a Series of books that will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more R.L Kenderson’s books are for you without a doubt!!!
I love Isabelle and Zane!! I was hoping to see an expansion of their story and I was definitely not disappointed. Isabelle is running from an abusive boyfriend, so she escapes to her Alpha. The abusive ex follows her and tries to get violent with some of the team members, which doesn’t really end well for him. Isabelle, it turns out, doesn’t need saving. She saves Zane AND herself. Which I thought was pretty epic. No damsels here!! Loved it!!
II think this may be my favorite of the series! Can I give it a 10??? R.L. Kenderson brings you a word you want to escape to! The shifters work together and “play” together. I love the mixing of the breeds and LOVE everything about this paranormal world. Zane makes me laugh out loud and love that they add so many little stories into the main story. Quentin and Hunter still make me melt and I hope they get their own book. Isabelle is escaping an abusive boyfriend and goes to Minnesota for protection from her friend Damien (the alpha of the pack) and from the pack and Sentinals. Zane has missed her since she left him 2 years ago. He offers to mate with her so that her abusive boyfriend won’t try to claim her. What happens next is hot, steamy and yummy! R.L. really makes you escape and want to meet these characters. I loved Teagan and Reid too. GIVE ME MORE

Finally Kenzie and Sawyer!!!!! Since the first book I have been teased with Kenzie and Sawyers story. I was so happy to finally be able to dive into this one.
I felt so bad for Kenzie. To have Sawyers lust and then be thrown away over and over again. All without explanation from him. Sawyer to have feelings for someone he promised to hate had to of been hard. I loved their story and how they get their HEA.
My only reason for giving this a 4 star review and not a 5 is because I felt the conclusion of Gerald was way anticlimactic. I felt he should of gone out with a bigger bang, evil villan speech and all.
I have been waiting for the longest to see how things would play out between Sawyer and Kenzie and I can say, I FINALLY GOT WHAT I’VE BEEN HOPING FOR!!!! Their story does not disappoint and I enjoyed it a lot. I actually enjoyed it better than the previous book. This is a great story for readers that love cat-shifter, wolf-shifter and vampire reads. I do recommend that these books be read in order and I definitely recommend this series. I look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.
** spoiler alert ** He doesn’t like humans, she is tired of the back and forth. Both get a taste of what it could be like. What happens when he is forced to make a decision?
Have to say I loved seeing these two evolve. I loved that she put her foot down and was going to make a decision to help herself instead of putting herself back in pain. I also loved that she accepted his apology when he finally admitted he was wrong. I didn’t blame him for not liking the humans, but loved the fact that he was starting to realize, with the help of his friends, what he would be giving up. Good read!
This story follows Isabelle as she flees an abusive boyfriend. She goes to her real good friend/alpha for help. There she meets up with her former lover Zane. He has not been able to forget her either. As they figure out how to dissuade her ex they try to figure out their relationship.
I will warn that this story does have M/M relations so, reader beware. This is also a part of a series and even though it does mention things from the other stories they do not affect this story. There are a few funny moments and l really liked the ending. In all this is a highly enjoyable story.

Any halfway decent writer can put out paranormal romance. The good ones though, ahhh yess…they know how to do it right. Their stories have actual well done plots with really interesting characters and still manage to produce mouth-watering steam. That’s certainly the case with R.L. Kenderson. This marvelous duo (the R and the L are a fantastic writing team) has come through yet again with Forbidden Claim, the fifth book in their Forbidden series. Boy is this a fun one. I simply adore Isabelle and am a bit in love with Zane. What more could one ask for? But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises – the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
This was a nice addition to the series. It took awhile to warm up to Isa but she got better as the story goes on. I loved Zane and the rest of the shifters.
I have read all of the series, and each one has been a joy to read,
lots of romance,
characters have depth
give them a go , i think they are great

It;s two years from when Kenzie got her cat, Sawyer. Two long years for Zane who knew his mate had left. Now she;s back and in trouble. She got involved with a wolf who was abusive and she had to hide her plans to escape. She goes back to her friend Damien and asks for help. Damien feels the only way to avoid a pack war is for Isabelle to mate with another shifter. Zane volunteers. In less than 24 hours they do an impromptu mating in front of the pack. Then it;s decided that should be married the human way. That way their bases are covered if her ex comes calling. After finding out they have to wait a week for the license, it’s decided that they need to go to Vegas. So off to Vegas they go. While Isabelle and Zane are signing paperwork for their marriage, Teagan and Reid, who have been best friends for years, decide to marry also. Then Isabelle;s heat hits her and she drags poor Teagan along with her. Then the news that Isa;s ex is on his way to Vegas shakes up everything.
This is a fantastic series that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you are once again pulled into the world of the cat, wolf and vampire lives.

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.
This is the fifth book in this series and it’s gr8. Just as perfect as the others. This is Zane & Isabelle’s story and I got so wrapped up in it I couldn’t put it down. Isabelle’s one stubborn woman. It took her two years to finally admit she was in love with Zane. This story also showed more about Teagan, Reid, Quentin, & Harper. I really enjoyed this story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
This is a great series and if you havent given it a try your missing out! This is book 5 and there are more to come. We get Isabelle and Zanes story here.
Isabelle’s in a bad relationship with her current boyfriend. He’s really controlling and treats her like crap. She needs to get away from him and makes her plans to do so. So she seeks help from Damian to get her out of her jam. Now, a little background she and Zane had a “thing” 2 years ago and he’s waited for her since she disappeared on him. He’s a good guy and would do anything for his girl even sacrifice himself. He wants all of her but understandably she’s a little slow and doesnt trust so easy. Will Zane get her heart as well?
Interesting premise where Isabelle has to mate with Cat shifter Zane to avoid mating with her abusive psychotic ex boyfriend, Bram.
Zane is all for mating with Isa as he never got over her, and it’s been two long years trying to forget her.
He really is the answer to her problems as she slowly realizes her true feelings for him. She wants him to want her as a mate because of love, not duty. He’s not willing to let her know how he’s been pining for her for the past two years.
All the drama circles around her crazy ex, Bram and how they try to outmaneuver and outsmart
him. Tons of sexual scenes between the main couple as well as the growing relationships of the shifters assigned to help them. There are graphic MM scenes as well.

Isabelle and Zane. What a wonderful book this was. Cat shifters, wolf shifters and vampires. Isabelle has escaped from a vicious boyfriend. Zane has loved her for two years. How on earth are they all going to protect her? Great story and I absolutely loved it.
