Narrado por: Kylie Klopping, Harrison Sole

Three sizzling, standalone age-gap romances filled with forbidden passion, steamy encounters, and the tension of defying societal expectations. In each story, the heart and soul are at stake, as love emerges in the most unexpected and dangerous of circumstances.

In Forbidden Desire, Brooke Harrison’s steamy, passionate night with a mysterious lover takes a shocking turn when she discovers he’s her professor, Dr. Gavin Keene. As their forbidden romance ignites, they grapple with their professional careers, reputations, and the immense risks that come with loving someone they shouldn’t. Betrayal, societal pressure, and personal fears challenge their relationship, forcing them to decide whether to fight for their love or let it slip away.

In Forbidden Attraction, Elle Sanders moves in with her best friend’s father, Alex Harrison, only to be consumed by a forbidden longing she can’t resist. Despite knowing the dangers of their attraction, Elle and Alex find solace in each other’s arms, only for their passionate affair to be exposed in the worst possible way. When Elle’s best friend discovers their secret, everything they hold dear begins to unravel, and they must choose: is their love worth the sacrifice of everything they’ve known?

In Forbidden Seduction, Meghan Salvador’s professional life is turned upside down when she’s assigned to work under Seth Anderson, her father’s powerful boss. What begins as a simple professional relationship quickly spirals into an all-consuming affair. Their heated encounters pull them into a whirlwind romance, but tragedy strikes, forcing them to confront the devastating consequences of their reckless love. Caught in a web of deceit, Meghan and Seth must fight to protect their love against all odds.

Each story explores the intoxicating, sometimes perilous allure of forbidden love. Will they yield to the pressures around them, or will they take the ultimate leap for the love that sets their souls on fire?

I listened to the stories as standalone ones and then in the box set. You get such a great deal by getting the box set. All three stories are good and have some strong narration. I especially like the male lead's voice in the first one, Forbidden Desires. I recommend this to you.
