5* Forbidden Soul Mate Stars
This was my first read by Karen Deen and I fell in love with her writing from the beginning of this wonderful story until the last page was read.
Bella and Tate’s road to love was not an easy one. Firstly, Tate is 10 years older than Bella and her brothers’ best friend. They met when Bella was 5 and had just lost her mother. Tate has watched over her like a sister as she was growing up however as she was maturing so were his feelings for her. Unbeknown to him, Bella was also developing feelings and told him so on her 18th Birthday. The did not act upon these feelings until 7 years later when Bella becomes a resident intern to Tate who is a well-respected Neurosurgeon. This is the beginning of their love and careers being tested as it is forbidden to have relations with interns and added to this is Bella’s brother Grayson who is the well-known Gynaecologist works at the same hospital.
Their story had a good balance of angst and humour. I enjoyed how feisty Bella was and how she stood up for herself after being so protected by Tate and her brother whilst growing up. Their passion was fierce and the chemistry between them sizzling.
The secondary characters were wonderful and so full of love and care. I am excited to read the other two books in the series which feature Bella’s brother Grayson (the Gynaecologist) and Mason the Private Pilot. I am looking forward to also reading Lex’s story which will be out soon. I believe they are all standalones set in the same time frame so they can be read without any order to them.
I am so happy to have found a new author whose writing and style I thoroughly enjoy.
Bella and Tate’s story is cute. Tate is ten years older than Bella and now Bella is going to be under him…..as his intern. Tate and Bella can not resist the chemistry between them and they unleash on each other. But there are consequences for their actions. Who is going to be heartbroken? Can they make this work? Loved this story. It was fun, hot and the secondary characters were great as well. Could not put it down!!
“The love we have both carried for so long is now laying bare between us. No matter what happens, I will never forget this moment. The one where I let the last piece of me go.”
I’ve been waiting for Tate and Bella’s story, the snippets of their personalities have shone through in the series. Such wonderful characters, Tate’s ego had me laughing so much and I want to adopt Nanna Joan as my own. The banter between Tate and Bella was like watching flirtatious foreplay.
Tate has been watching over his girl for years as an overprotective, adopted brother. However, he’s come to realise that she holds his heart in the palm of her hands. She is so close to becoming the doctor she’s meant to be, he is so proud of her. Tate is wise enough to know not to cross that line, because her brother Gray will string him up by the balls. This member of the f*#ckalicious four is quite partial to them so won’t be doing anything reckless or will he?
Bella has only been a little sister to him, but she has loved Tate for as long as she can remember. He’s a man whore, who has a notorious reputation with the nurses. Finding she has to finish her residency under his tutelage isn’t going to be an easy task. Keeping her feelings well hidden behind a mask, she once again pulls up her big girl panties. Bella is fierce, funny and intelligent, but she has a vulnerability that is kept close to her chest. Somehow Tate manages to wiggle his way in and she trusts him to catch her.
There is so much that I loved about Tate and Bella’s story. I saw the little hints Karen gave us in Gorgeous Gyno that had me hoping for this book! In reading it, I really enjoyed how their story ran parallel to Gorgeous Gyno. I connected with Bella on so many levels. I loved how strong she was. In the moments Karen wrote when Bella was vulnerable and hurting my heart hurt with her. I had to laugh at the very first lines of the first chapter directed towards Tate. He has a reputation. Lol! I love this group of friends and the world Karen created with these books.
3-1/2 Stars!
A brothers best friend Romance! Who doesn’t love that trope?! It was a great read with loveable characters.
Tate (love the name) was a cocky, lovable, hilarious, badass neurosurgeon. Arabella was a compassionate, loveable, strong, badass resident. You could tell throughout the entire book they loved each other deeply & were meant to be. They have an amazing group of friends, & id love to read their stories as well.
I received an arc of this book in return for an honest review.
I think that the reviews I’ve just read for this book pretty much covers everything that a potential reader should know before buying. I just wanted to cover this author who does an outstanding job with every novel & every character she creates. Her characters are so realistic that you get totally absorbed in the story & just want to keep turning the pages. I don’t know how Karen Deen is going to be able top this novel for romance & heat but I know this reader can’t wait now to read Lex’s story. Definitely worth the read !
Awesome! I’ve volunteered to review this book for United Indie Book Blog. I love to read books from Karen Deen. Naughty Neuro is about Bella and Tate. Tate is best friend to Bella’s brother. Tate is a top Neurosurgeon at Mercy hospital. Tate is getting a new group of interns. Guess who is in the group. The one girl that Tate can’t have Bella. Once they started to flirt with each other. Oh Man they couldn’t hold back their feeling for each other. This is a MUST READ!!!! You won’t be disappointed in this one. It can be read as a standalone. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Keep up the awesome work!
I am just loving this series ! Bella and Tate have that underlying heat and have been denying the attraction for years. Tate is the quintessential play boy. He is a master in the operating room and the bedroom. A master of his craft as a top neuro surgeon has gained him much recognition in the medical world. His love them and leave them in the bedroom has gained him quite a reputation in the dating world. He has kept one woman at bay all these years. She is his best friends younger sister and off limits.
Bella has worked hard to get where she is today and all the rotations, sleepless nights, studying has put her front and center to a fabulous opportunity to shadow and learn from the best……Tate .
This couple has a fabulous banter that is fueled by friendship and a past but it soon becomes apparent that they have so much more under the surface. Is it possible to cross the line and have it all!!??They are sweet, funny, lovable and oh so sexy!

FULL DISCLOSURE: I went into this read for the dirty LOL #sorrynotsorry
You guys, I got a whole lot more than the dirty *happy sigh*
There’s a song mentioned in this book by Christina Perri, it’s called A Thousand Years . If you know the song then you already know that if it was mentioned and or used, this story packed a punch, and if you haven’t heard of it, look it up, it’s a great song and it fits this story. When I say I got a whole lot more with this story, I really mean it. This is not your momma’s night-time quickie read LOL
There’s a whole lot of backstory to not only the story but also the leads. This adds a layer of emotion you can’t even imagine. I was a bit stunned as the plot kept going and unfolding. This is not a dark read, but there are many times you will not be laughing. It has depth and it is real and it is relatable. The further I got into the story the more I fell in love with this author’s voice and style. I am seriously making time this weekend to back track to the first two books in this series.
Tate and Arabella were a great couple who were strong and a force separately, but together they burned up the pages. Tate was the sweetheart jokester, but downright dirty when it came down to “business”. Arabella was a head strong heroine who took no crap and dished it out as well as her male counterparts.
These two fought hard against being together and had to fight even harder to hide their attraction once they made it official. Throw in a couple of great side characters of the big brother variety along with a kooky old lady and this story had some hilarious moments.
Really good story, slightly long winded in the details though. I felt like there were some parts that were not pertinent to the story, but overall, the bones were good. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good hospital romance, shady coworkers and an overprotective, loving family.
Bella is the sister of Gray, Tate’s best friend and that means she’s off limits to him. Tate is a doctor and Bella is to be working with him for six months. Tate has always been in love with Bella and she’s always loved him. This is the story of their life as a couple and how things came to be with them. A good read that I recommend.
Wow! As always what a naughty neurologist is Tate McIntyre. Tate is one of four strong independent stubborn men who have been childhood friends and always been there to protect young “Bella” Arabella Garrett the little sister of Grayson Garrett. The only problem is Bella isn’t a little girl who needs protection anymore. Tate has tried to forget the words Bella mumbled on the night of her 18th birthday party. 7 years later he can’t seem to hold back anymore.
This was a emotional beautiful love story about ones true soulmate no matter what.
I had so many emotions reading this book, it really gives you all the feels. Highly recommend reading. You will want to devour the other characters and their stories. Beautiful just beautiful.
This is the 3rd book in this fascinating series and is Bella and Tate’s story. Bella is the little sister of Tate’s best friend, and she has had his heart since she was 5-years old. Bella is also his new resident which has playboy Tate in a tizzy, as he is not sure how he can hide his feeling for her. Bella has insecurities and is vulnerable and has loved Tate for years. Will these two moves from friends / lovers’, and can their love survive whatever life throws at them? This is a well written heart-wrenching story which is an emotional roller coaster, and has drama, angst, passion, intense chemistry, and love. I recommend for all.
Dr Tate McIntyre has been in love with a woman that is off limits for so long as she’s his best friends little sister, he has used other women as a poor substitute and has the reputation as the man-whore at Mercy Hospital to prove it. Dr Arabella Garrett has been in love with her brothers best friend since she was a teenager and she has just found out that Tate is going to be her boss for the next 6 months and she not sure that she can hide her feelings and not let anyone know. This story is sweet with the right amount of heat and will have you fall in love with Tate and the lengths he will go to protect Arabella
Tate and bellas story was hot and steamy and very wow from the start.
Bella has been inlove with tate since she was five and she always thought he just thought of her as his little sister.
On Bellas 21st she got drunk and told Tate that she loved him and he didnt know how to deal with that as he loved her aswell but promised her brother Grayson that he wouldnt go there.
Tate was a Neuro surgeon and he had intern work for him when he found out that Bella was one of his interns he new it wasnt a good idea to keep on his team but he couldnt move her.
Bella started flirting with Tate and he couldnt control his feelings any longer that he kissed her and from then on he couldnt keep his hands off her. They had to hide there relationship from work and def Grayson.
Tate was very protective of Bella before they started seeing eachother but once they got together he went full caveman on her and it was HOT!!!
Tate is a jokestar and loves to be inappropriate thats what made me love him and always laughing.
To find out how Grayson reacts to Tate and Bella being together and all the juicy raunchy stuff inbetween you MUST READ!!!!!!
Naughty Neuro is not just a best friend’s little sister romance, Tate and Bella’s story is packed full of emotion and passion. Their story is not only highly charged with chemistry but also has a sweet side that gives you an all round effect. It is not only a story of romance and love but family and support. You are captivated by their journey and get to experience the story as if you are right there with them. This book at times will make you laugh, heat you up but will also touch your heart in a way you never could have expected.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
EVERYTHING!
Swoon galore.
Tate my boy where do I start?
This book captured me in a way unlike the first two F F boys. Don’t get me wrong I still loved their stories and they were swoony as hell. But Tate he was on a whole new level.
The chemistry, the passion and the moments that captured you in pure bliss was what made Tate and Bella stand out for me.
I wanted that happily ever after for them despite the drama and the ups and downs that followed them.
Their road wasn’t an easy one but boy did Tate let Bella know he wasn’t going anywhere.
I loved how he fiercly he loved her but let her be her own person, that he held his ground but backed off when he knew she needed space.
The protectiveness and caveman like style that was Tate was enchanting and the things that came out of his mouth just made me swoon and gush so hard. I swear I had hearts in my eyes the entire time reading.
Bella was strong and fiery and I adored her she had guts and never backed down I loved that.
This fairytale like romance captivated me it made me laugh it made me cry and it made me fall in love with Tate and Bella so much more.
Even though I never wanted it to end I loved the ending and how Tate and Bella not only took me on a journey through their story but they made me feel so many emotions while doing so.
Karen has a way with words that sink you in and she holds you captivated while reading.
I am so ready for Lex’s book and I can’t wait to see how his romance unfolds.
An emotional roller coaster of a read. Have some tissues handy.
Naughty Neuro by Karen Deen is the story of Arabella ‘Bella’ Garret and Tate McIntyre.
Arabella is Grayson’s little sister from the book called ‘Gorgeous Gyno’ in addition Tate is Grayson’s best friend…but you don’t have to have read that book to fully enjoy this one. Just wanted to make note of that. Arabella has been in love with Tate since forever but that is as far as it went. Tate is 10 years older and he is a top neurosurgeon at Mercy hospital. Tate also is crazy about Arabella but has stopped anything from going further than his secret feelings since she is his best friends little sister and he has a playboy reputation. Then Arabella ends up becoming a intern for the hospital which puts them closer together making it harder for each to keep their feelings down but the added forbidden now is that they are working together too. Enjoyed their story and plan on reading more books from this author.
