Review @JessieDauthor - The Forbidden by Jessie Donovan (Kelderan Runic Warriors #4)





The Forbidden
Kelderan Runic Warriors #4
by Jessie Donovan

Goodreads blurb:  Princess Kalahn tro el Vallen has wanted a purpose beyond smiling and marrying some strategic connection her entire life. So when her brother proposes a way for her to help protect their family, she jumps at the chance and agrees to training. What she doesn’t expect is for her trainer to be the male she kissed years ago and hasn’t been able to forget since.

Ryven Xanna is not only one of the best warrior trainers in the Kelderan Army, but he’s also best friend to a prince. When his best friend invites him to participate in a secret operation that will rid the planet of traitors, Ryven doesn’t hesitate to join. True, the female he’s supposed to train is the same one he kissed in the past and wishes to kiss again, but he has the fortitude to resist her and complete his assignment. Only then can he ensure his mother’s future in the colony and the safety of his friend.

As Ryven and Kalahn work together, the pull between them only grows until suddenly they’re connected in a way that they never could’ve foreseen. However, that connection could end up killing one of them if they continue with their plans. Will they both find a way to survive their mission and be with each other? Or, will duty trump all, including the life of one of them?

73,000 words with a happy ending. 18+ for sexual situations. 


About the Author:  Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.

After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets.

Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, can often be found on Facebook and Twitter.

The one thing you'll find in all of Jessie's stories are strong, capable women and the people who love them.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I will eventually collect all of Jessie’s books when I can.

The cover is beautiful and matches the series!

This is the 4th book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  I highly recommend reading the series in order because it makes for a more awesome world and set of characters.

This is Kalahn and Ryven’s story.  This is my favorite book so far, and I was in tears with Ryven’s past.  The two of them are pretty amazing, and this was an action-packed story that I couldn’t put down.  I loved their adventure, and their secret operation was pretty cool.  I have come to love the royal family especially with all the changes on Jasvar.  Kason is a pretty awesome big brother even though Kalahn doesn’t always see it, and the reverse is true where Kason doesn’t always see how awesome his sister is.  I really liked getting to know Jala, Kalahn’s half-sister, and I’m hoping her story turns out the way I pray it does…but that is a future book.

Jessie always does a fantastic job creating a riveting story that is amazing.  I haven’t read a story of hers that wasn’t a wonderful world to get lost in the characters’ stories.  I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

I highly recommend to any sci-fi fan who loves royalty, aliens, romance, and of course Jessie.
