Forbidden by Jacquelyn Frank

Forbidden (World of Nightwalkers, #1)

by Jacquelyn Frank

From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes the first book in the World of the Nightwalkers - an exciting and sensual new spin-off series in which the Bodywalkers, an ancient race of the night, battle the evil forces who prey on them. The unexpected happens in an instant. On her way to work, secretary Docia Waverley quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same when a tall, blond, muscular stranger tells her it is his duty to protect her at all cost. Docia just hopes her savior doesn't turn out to be a crazed kidnapper. When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen. But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he feels something more than body heat every time they touch. He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep into the twin souls inside him. A desire rises in him that is forbidden - this woman is his queen, the mate of his king, his leader, his best friend. And yet Docia is so vulnerable and attractive that she awakens a hunger in Ram that is undeniable, a carnal craving he cannot yield to ...not without risking the very survival of the Bodywalkers.

This new world of the nightwalkers involved bodywalkers. These are souls sharing the same body. I was not 100 percent sold on this story. I think it needed more pages to give more story than just the set up of what is a bodywalker. Admittedly, with the exception of one story, I am not a big fan of the reincarnated lover/body sharing story, especially in a romance. Too much question of who is actually in love with who? In this story, we went way too quickly from setting up who the bodywalkers are to madly in love with just a flip of a page. Especially since Docia was carrying the soul of the Queen who Ram was to protect until the King came back. There should have been more angst to the I'm stealing the Queen from my beloved King build up.

All that being said, there were some aspects that were very entertaining, and I do want to know what happens in the next story so I will definitely picking up a copy of Forever.

Be back with a full review.
