Forbidden: Part One

Luna & Sol Omegaverse, Book 1

De: Emilia Emerson

Narrado por: Jameson Adams, Amber Lee Connors

What if everything forbidden to me—freedom, love, pleasure—could be mine? Would I be brave enough to take it?

Five years ago, Josie Porter's life was about to begin: she was going to escape her abusive family, move in with her best friend, and start college. Now, scarred from years of government torture in the Designation Academy, her dreams are long gone. Her only goal now is to survive.

With the Designation Government out to pair every omega with often brutal alpha packs, Josie has to turn to black-market suppressants to disguise her biology. When the supply runs out, Josie can no longer run from her designation.

Cam, Ben, and Theo Ashwood had given up on their dream to find an omega, refusing to participate in the government's oppressive policies. But when the underground anti-government Alliance asks them to help an omega in need, they can't say no. They never expected to meet her—their fated mate.

Suddenly surrounded by alphas desperate to tend to her every need, Josie finds herself feeling things she only dreamed of as a child—love, trust… hope.

But even the protection of her fiercely loyal pack can't stand against those determined to tear them apart.

Forbidden: Part One is a first-person, multiple POV, why-choose omegaverse romance with a curvy FMC and her cinnamon roll alphas. Featuring high-spice MFMM scenes and a suspenseful plot, this book ends on a cliffhanger that is resolved in Forbidden: Part Two.

The audiobook brought this story to life!

I’ve read both parts of Forbidden and I absolutely loved the story. But listening to it really brings the characters to life and, for me, it really brought me emotionally into the story. I 100% suggest listening!

Intriguing story

I always love a good suspense but add in a sprinkle of abuse & corruption & it really makes an intriguing story. The only downside to the story was the governmental corruption almost made it too real for me with our current American political climate. I guess the other con (of pro & con) is the alphas in this story took to the main female, Josie, right away- I usually like a good pull & tug that eventually brings the group together.

Other than that- it was good story of Josie learning how to be true to her Omega status, learn to love her guys & trust them. The book left on a great cliff-hanger. The book also made me want the main characters fight back against all the injustice the Designation Government & her family was forcing on everyone, especially Omegas. Can't wait for the next audio book to release!

the cliffhanger!

I read this and forgot all about the cliffhanger so listening to it made my heart break! The narrators did an amazing job of bringing this to life!

Great omegaverse

voices match characters in this audible adaptation of forbidden. it was a great read and a perfect omegaverse but that cliffy is a brat.

That Ending!

That ending had me immediately downloading part 2. I liked this story and I feel like it had more depth than some omegaverse books I’ve read. At times I do think it was a little long but overall I enjoyed it.

Body Issues Beware!

I enjoyed the story, but the main character’s low self esteem became a little too much to digest. No pun intended! The incessant loathing and constant reassurance became monotonous.

No shifts in a shifter book??

It’s a slow burn on the actual storyline. Not the romance or steam, but the interesting parts are really drawn out. I thought we were going to actually get somewhere and the book ended. Also, this is a book about shifters…who apparently don’t shift. At least they don’t in this first book. That was unsatisfying and weird with so much talk of “heat”s and packs.
I also tend to like books with strong female leads, and although this character is resilient she hasn’t found her strength and it’s a bit daunting at times.
The way the guys love the female lead is really nice, though.

Worst. Cliffhanger. Ever.

Phenomenal story. Incredible voice acting. Delectable, lose-yourself s*x scenes. I absolutely could not put it down.

Trauma trigger warning if you have any SA in your background, but the author *beautifully* shows what it’s like to recover from trauma/how to love someone that’s recovering. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the representation. Well done, 10/10 would recommend.

Deeply Invested

Ok need check out trigger warnings.. a few are medical abuse different kinds.. SA..Fat Shaming ( not by her guys ) knotting .. Light BDSM .. the world building really good…

Incredibly Seductive

I was hooked within 30 seconds and the hold wouldn’t let go.
That cliffhanger though
