Forbidden Addiction (Forbidden #4): Phoenix & Dante Kindle Edition

by R.L. Kenderson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (496)
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 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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

R.L. Kenderson is two best friends writing under one name.

Renae has always loved reading, and in third grade, she wrote her first poem where she learned she might have a knack for this writing thing. Lara remembers sneaking her grandmother’s Harlequin novels when she was probably too young to be reading them, and since then, she knew she wanted to write her own.

When they met in college, they bonded over their love of reading and the TV show Charmed. What really spiced up their friendship was when Lara introduced Renae to romance novels. When they discovered their first vampire romance, they knew there would always be a special place in their hearts for paranormal romance. After being unable to find certain storylines and characteristics they wanted to read about in the hundreds of books they consumed, they decided to write their own. And since then, they branched off to contemporary romance and romantic comedy.

One lives in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and the other in the Kansas City area where they’re a sonographerand pharmacist, and they’re a sexy author by night. They communicate through phone, email, and whole lot of messaging.

    I love this series!! It genuinely continues to get better. I'll be honest, i had a few doubts when i finished book #3 that there was still enough unknowns about Phoenix & Dante to fill an entire novel, but i was so incredibly wrong. This story (all of the stories in this series) are so beautifully nuanced, introducing you to the reality - good & bad - of each character, in a way that makes them feel truly real. The writing is lovely, the plots are good, but the characters themselves come alive on the page until they feel like someone you know irl. It's been a very long time since i found a series that drew me into the characters like this. Yes, there is angst. And passion & humor & frustration & flaws. I can't say enough about the depth & nuance of the characters or how well you are able to fall into their stories. The best compliment that i can give is that i received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest, willing review, & i still went back & bought a copy of this book & the 3 previous books in the series. It was an absolute pleasure to spend my time getting to know these characters & their stories, & i cannot wait for the next!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not as dark as the previous one, but not as light as the first
    Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2018

    While not as dark as the previous book, this still had some icky elements. If that bothers you, be forewarned. That being said, I’m hooked on this series and wouldn’t stop for anything!

    This book is the much anticipated Phoenix/Dante story. Sure, we get some background characters either finding their HEA or heading towards some self-discovery (Lexine and Hunter, most notably). Basically we follow the slow progression of Phoenix from closed-off loner to a loving and open individual. Obviously, that path is not straightforward and has some setbacks, but these two work pretty well together.

    Lexine’s story is probably the darkest one, having started in the previous book, she falls in with some bad people who are determined to make the shifter/vampire alliance fail. I’m not 100% sure what their bigger plan was, but it is escalating by the time Lexine starts to see them for who they are. After that there’s some sexual assault, some blood stuff, and just very yucky behavior. She manages to turn it around, with the help of an unexpected ally.

    Hunter’s story is one of self-discovery, mostly because he is stunned and shocked to discover himself attracted to a man. While his story doesn’t have any good resolution, I’m sure we’ll come back around to him in later books. All in all, there were some dark clouds at the end of the book, but you still get a relatively satisfying ending for most of the characters. I’m eager to see where we go in the next book.

    This book was absolutely freaking amazing!!!!!! A great addition to a great series of books. You must read them all. All the characters in this book are fabulous. I love them all. They are well written and you just fall in love with them. Dante and Phoenix's story was worth the wait. The other continuing stories as well as the new stories in the book were amazing too. I loved them all. They were well written and you just fell in love with them. There were a few surprise scenarios that I didn't know how to take at first but soon fell in love with the idea of the sweet and yet very sexy character's the events involved. These events will blow your mind!!! You will be hooked. While reading this book I experienced so many emotions that it was hard not feel that I wasn't a part of the story. I will tell all my friends about this book. It's a must read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome and intense
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is the fourth book in the Forbidden series and I do not recommend reading this book with having read books 1-3 previously (available as a box set) as there is a ton of character and plot development leading up to the fourth book. Book 3 left me dying to know what happens to Phoenix and if her and Dante get their happily ever after. I do not want to give away too much of the story, but Phoenix is emotionally scarred and the authors do a great job of developing her character and of having Dante be sensitive to Phoenix and her feelings. This story was just as intense and awesome as the rest of the series and I sure hope that there is going to be a book 5!

    This was a book to read!! I loved the multiple povs and relationships. You get more than just one romance in this book which i absolutely loved. You got vampires and shifters. You got a main character Phoenix who is completely a mess from past trauma who learns to grow and heal from it. You have a patient main male character Dante who helps phoenix with her emotional turmoil while loving everything about her. Kenzie is human but is a great best friend to phoenix and helping her overcome her inner turmoil. Its also an LGBTQ friendly book. You got Hunter who thinks hes asexual until he meets Quinton. Hes a vampire while Quinton is a shifter. I really wished they had more of a relationship together. Fingers crossed they get back together. I would definitely recommend. The spice is amazing!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

    It's finally here!! If you are a fan of this series then you've been waiting for Dante and Phoenix's story. If you're new to the series never fear this is a stand alone story and the authors do a great job of delivering a complete story with adding any past interactions of these characters into their stand alone story. Of course with this series you always get more than one story since the supporting characters are engaging.

    Back to Dante and Phoeinx..this story is about a female character who has suffered a childhood trauma and her desire to be mom and the man who helps her overcomes her demons in hopes that she will realize that he's really offering her his love and support. Total different spin from these types of storylines due to the supporting character Kenzie who will have you laughing and cheering Phoenix on for taking her advice. If you are a J.R. Ward or Sherilyn Kenyon fan then you will love this book and series.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2017

    The Forbidden series is back with its 4th instalment! I would recommend you start from the beginning. This book features characters from the other stories, and the other books contain background information to the main characters. I'm a huge fan, and can't get enough of the forbidden series. These books are hot, super sexy, and have gritty storylines. They are more than a romance novel, and I'm hooked.

    We meet Phoenix and Dante in the previous book. This is their story, and they have already been through so much together. Phoenix's isn't used to being close, and intermit with others, but that doesn't mean she isn't trying with Dante. She has already let him get so much closer than anyone else. Even though she has a long way to go. She doesn't think she stands a chance at having her happily ever after, and getting the family she always dreamed of.

    Dante wants Phoenix to be happy. He has never been committed to feeding on just one blood donor, and he is used to mixing it with sex. He knows Phoenix's past makes her reluctant to want more with him, but she is already his regular blood donor. He wants to prove he can be so much more. Naya and Vaughn's babies are on their way. Phoenix's can't help but be envious of what they have. Dante is about to get the chance he wants. He just has to convince her how good it can be.

    We meet some new characters in this book and some old faces return.

    5 stars out of 5. Hooked!

    The series just keeps getting better and better! We now have the story of Phoenix and Dante. When Phoenix was assigned to guard Naya and Vaughn at the Vampire mansion she met with the tough leader of the Guardians, Dante. Phoenix and Dante developed a strong bond and a somewhat platonic relationship where he fed from her and he gave her something to look forward to every visit. When Phoenix propositioned Dante to give her what she has been longing for and agrees, Phoenix becomes a student, learning how to give and take pleasure while hoping for the best.
    As per their style, we have other characters with their own stories interwoven with the main hero and heroine. Lexine and Sterling are so hot and cute at the same time. Then we meet Hunter and Quentin...I cannot wait for their story! I already love them both! The series really just keeps getting better and better!

    Back for the 4th book and loved every minute! Fantastic next book in a great series. Phoenix and Dante are a shifter/vampire pairing who we have met in previous books. Phoenix has a rough history and is not used to intimacy but longs for a family. Dante is a vampire that usually gets his food from 1 night stands. Dante is determined to show Phoenix how good they could be and supports her always as they work together to work out who is targeting them and their families.
    With laugh out loud moments and heartbreaks this book has loads of feels.
    Worth reading the previous books before this one.
