Forbidden Blood (Forbidden #1): Naya & Vaughn Kindle Edition

by R.L. Kenderson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (1,575)
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 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.

"Great writing, yummy scenes, action packed, and leaves you wanting to know more of this world!"

"As always these ladies did not disappoint. Their writing style flows like water."

"These ladies have done it again. And its not luck. Simply put it is talent, pure and simple talent. They have this way of drawing the reader in and almost daring them to try and put down the book. Here's a hint, don't even try to put it down. You won't be able to."

"I LOVE this author(s) writing, I love their characters, I love their intensity, their humor, their brand of sexy."

Praise for Forbidden Blood

"First, let start out by saying "wow." This book was an awesome read. So good in fact, that I went to Amazon and bought the 2 books that follow in this series." "What a exceptional paranormal read! Keep me up through the night and then early the next morning!! I couldn't sleep knowing that I was desperate to know "what happens next". You know it's a good book when your eyes hurt from reading but you tell yourself "next chapter I'll go to sleep"!!! Well this is one of those books." "Great book , can't wait for the next one !!! Hot, sexy and a great love story too, this is a complete package. Must read!!!!" "Awesome book! I couldn't put it down. It was steamy and it had an interesting story line. I can't wait for the next two books!!" "This was right up my ally! I really enjoy being taken away by a great love story and Forbidden Blood did just that. I just couldn't put it down." "One of the best books I have read in a long time. Love the multiple characters which keeps the storyline always changing and most interesting. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next in the series. Characters are well developed and leave you wanting to more about them. Highly recommended reading."

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.

    This is the start of a great series! I have read the other books so far: Forbidden Heat, Forbidden Temptation and Forbidden Addiction. Forbidden Blood did a wonderful job pulling me in to read what the next couple's trials are going to be.

    In Forbidden Blood, Naya is a vampire princess stuck into doing her duty to her parents and vampire community. While out with her human friend Kenzie, Naya meets a man for a one night stand. But while mistaking him for a human, she becomes unknowingly pregnant and starts a spiral into a whole new world for her upon learning that Vaughn is not a human but a cat shifter.

    This story has a lot of heat and steamy passion. I really liked that this book was in multiply POV and we got to see not just the main couple (Naya and Vaughn) but the build up to other couples into the next books in this series. I didn't like how Naya was always doubting what Vaughn was feeling for her because he said it to her but not in the way she understands. But the side stories definitely kept me coming back to more to find out what happens with the other characters and how everything works out.

    As this series builds, it keeps getting better and better. READ this book!! Because Forbidden Heat is a must read. Like I said I have now ready all four books available in this series and I can't wait to see what is going to happen next in this Vampire and Shifter world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Definite page turner!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was given an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

    When I was first asked to read this book by the authors for a review, of course I said YES! Paranormal romance is not the norm for me. But, I have read a handful of paranmoral books that I have loved, so I was excited to dip into this one and see what I thought.

    Overall, I thought this book was great. There were many story lines going on at once, which confused me at first, but once I got a good hold on the characters, wasn't a problem. The detail and information put into the story was so well thought out and planned. Even now while writing this review, I think back to certain parts of the book and think, "Who in the right mind would have thought of that?" But, it worked...all of it worked.

    Naya and Vaughn are the main characters in this book. Their story line is what most of this book is about, but there are many secondary characters that keep the story flowing. I liked their story, but I did feel it was a bit rushed at times. Maybe that is because I could have read 200 more pages and still wanted more...I don't know. Overall, I was pleased with the outcome of their story, but I wish it would have had slower/more parts...for me to fall in love with them as couple, not just them falling in love with eachother....If that makes sense?? As a reader, I want to go on a journey, and I feel like a did, but it was more like a fast vacation. However, the authors do a great job in making their relationship believeable and effortless. Vaughn was a well-rounded, stand up, good guy. You can't not like him.

    My FAVORITE part of this book was Kenzie and Sawyer. Sawyer...Yum-O! I couldn't wait to turn the page in hopes I would be reading more about them. I love Kenzie. Her sass and attitude made her one of my favorite characters. Sawyer is by far my other favorite in this series. He is definitely one of those guys you want to hate, but something about him and his cocky, almost rude attitude, is something you love...sigh....I can't wait to keep reading to find out what happens to these two.

    Forbidden Blood was a book I knew would be good, I could tell I would like it. I just was amazed by how much I ended up liking it. It was fast paced, kept you wanting more and every story line was intricately entertwined. Amazing!

    Forbidden Blood-5 stars
    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.

    Not everyone is as crazy, as they are about their relationship. Things get very tense, within their families. Both families are mad, to say the least. The princess had her whole life planned out for her, down to who she would marry, (something she was not happy about). Now, she won't be able too meet her family obligations.

    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. Well, while having others doing his dirty work. A big mistake is made during a kidnapping, what will happen now?

    A lot happens in this book, it's pure addiction once you start reading it. The characters are awesome, all with such different personalities. I loved these characters, they act and respond, like you'd expect. The story is rich and flowing, without mistakes. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book. I hope there all this good as this one, if so I'll be a very happy girl.

    I was given a copy of this book to read. I wrote the review on my own.

    A spicy paranormal romance that offers plenty of steam, heart , and drama. This wonderful book is about Naya is a vampire princess and Vaughn, the man she meets at a human nightclub. An instant attraction leads to a passionate one night stand, that then leads to so much more. A powerful, emotional storyline, an engaging plot, characters that are easy to like and root for, and a love that is beautiful, passionate and meant to be.

    Wow! Wow! Wow! An absolutely gorgeous paranormal book that is such a pleasure to read!
    Made the right decision in picking up book 1 and now I can't wait to progress through the series. It is full of growly shifters, elegant vampires, twists and hotness to the max. Although there were different characters and plots involved in this first book, I love how they were all written in such a manner that they are all interconnected without taking away from who the main story is written for.
    Vaughn and Anaya have lit up the story from the get-go with their immense attraction for each other and I can't wait how their love story progress in the next books! Love it!

    This vampire princess has a naughty side. What starts out as an one night stand turns into an epic relationship. This is a great story, and what makes it is the details about characters. There is more than one romance brewing in this book. While Naya and Vaughan's romance continues to heat the pages, a cliffhanger graces the end. And then an epilogue! I am really hoping the next book will fill in that four month gap!

    I really enjoyed this book that was recommended to me. I love pnr n shifter books so to read one we're there's both species was great. Especially adding in the excitement and heat of the forbidden factor...

    All the characters were very likable n had a unique character, the writer done this very well considering there were meant characters POV. I love that, u get a hole rounded picture of the story. Very clever.

    Vaughn n Naya were the MC in book 1 and I just loved there chemistry. They were perfect for each other. Naya was a strong Independent h which enticed Vaughns (never with the same girl twice) attitude into submission.. He was done from the moment he saw her.

    I look forward to the rest of the characters story's.

    Definitely worth a read.
