Embrace the Forbidden

What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?

This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.
Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

Synopsis from Goodreads


WOOOOOO!!! This book was kinda wow. I mean it's a pretty typical paranormal romance book. The feelers barely surfaced but they were there.



First of all, what I love about this book is they introduced the hot guy in the very beginning pages. On page 15 I was already into the book. I wanted to read more. If you want a faster paced paranormal romance book without the slow introduction, consider this book. Even the prologue was super short. I loved the characters (as you will soon later read below) and the plot was not bad, although quite predictable.

I'm just gonna move on to Kaidan (Kai like the ending of the word Thai). He is a Nephilim (half fallen angel half human) and the son of Pharzuph (The Duke of Lust). MAN HE IS ONE OF MY MANY BOOK BOYFRIENDS.

He is a drummer in a band called Lascivious and he is hott (he deserves the extra T like the book says) because he is just SOOOO SWOON WORTHY. Well, since he is the son of the Duke of Lust he has to be hot. Man, he is such a "bad boy" type of guy but that's what so intriguing about him. Typical hott bad boy with a soft center but THEY GET ME EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Ok onto Anna, she wasn't TOO stupid. She was actually not that bad. But what I liked about her was her innocence. She rejected Kaidan in the beginning when he started "moving on to other things" ;). Yeah, she wasn't all too stupid.

But overall, I liked this book. I recommend you pick it up and read it sometime. I just got the second book (Sweet Peril) from the library today and I'm pretty excited about it.

Thanks for reading,
