Forbidden Blood by R.L. Kenderson

4.0

3.5 stars. This is a PNR which means the romance is the centrepiece of the story, rather than the plot or world building. If it was an UF I would rate it lower but knowing exactly what it is and what to expect I enjoyed it. There is plenty of sexy time and the relationship and growing feelings between Vaughn & Naya are the main story but there was enough going on with the politics of vampire royalty and Vaughn’s family to keep things from getting boring. I did find there were too many couples introduced (one presumes for future books of their own) that it took away from Vaughn & Naya a bit. I mean we have four different couples thrown at us. Four! That is just too many. I liked how balanced Vaughn & Naya’s relationship was. They were attracted, they had a no strings hook up, were really drawn to each other, spent some time together, decided not to see each other due to family responsibilities, were thrown together for good reason and fell in love. There was never any controlling behaviour or anger just mutual attraction, respect and love.
