Forbidden Heat by R.L. Kenderson

3.0

This one picks up where Forbidden Blood left off with the kidnapping of Sawyer & Kenzie (as a case of mistaken identity) and Damien rescuing Payton from her own kidnapping attempt. Once again we had WAY too many couples thrown at us. This time around as there is Payton & Damien – whose story this was, Sawyer & Kenzie, Zane & Isabella and Dante & Phoenix. And while enjoyed the story it wasn’t as good as the first one, mostly because I didn’t actually like any of the relationships other than Payton & Damien (and even that had bits that bugged me). One of the things I liked so much about book 1 was how equal and respectful the relationship was between Naya & Vaughn. Unfortunately that is lacking in all 3 of our secondary romances. Sawyer is such a dick to Kenzie I am seriously disturbed by the fact that they are going to be a couple and that Kenzie is attracted to someone so actively horrible to her. Ditto for the Isabella/Zane pairing where is basically her captor and in all four relationships a big deal is made of the whole dominant, controlling aspect of the guys which is a major turn off for me.
