**Starred** in American Library Association BOOKLISTIn the unforgiving Mesopotamian desert where Jayden’s tribe lives, betrothal celebrations abound, and tonight it is Jayden’s turn to be honored. But while this union with Horeb, the son of her tribe’s leader, will bring a life of riches and restore her family’s position within the tribe, it will come at the price of Jayden’s heart.
Then a shadowy boy from the Southern Lands appears. Handsome and mysterious, Kadesh fills Jayden’s heart with a passion she never knew possible. But with Horeb’s increasingly violent threats haunting Jayden’s every move, she knows she must find a way to escape—or die trying.
With a forbidden romance blossoming in her heart and her family’s survival on the line, Jayden must embark on a deadly journey to save the ones she loves—and find a true love for herself.
Set against the brilliant backdrop of the sprawling desert, the story of Jayden and Kadesh will leave readers absolutely breathless as they defy the odds and risk it all to be together.

A delightfully dark and sweeping read, full of constant thrills and sweet romance, Forbidden was an absolutely amazing YA read. I completely and totally loved this book! From the fantastic characters, to the twists and turn, and the story that drew me in from the first page, this book was brilliant!The setting in this book was very well done. The descriptions of the desert and the ancient cities were beautifully done in a way that completely drew me into the world of the characters. CombinedOMG...where to BEGIN!!! Okay...first can I say...female lead Aladdin-style romance/adventure....ummmm, YES! Only, no fake Angelina Jolie fake kick-boxing heroine here. This heroine's strength is derived from authentically historically and savvy smart ways. This books is dark and alluring, filled with intrigue and adventure, only this heroine isn't just trying to save herself from being discovered (as royalty), this girl is up for the battle of her life. She must fight save herself, as well as
I was on the seat of my pants for this entire read--so many twists and turns kept me turning each page. The research was AMAZING! The descriptions really helped me imagine a world I'm completely unfamiliar with, yet characters I could complete relate to and understand.Little so aptly describes unfamiliar people and worlds. I forgot where I was when I was reading! And that's the point, isn't it? This book is unlike anything else I've ever read and I can't wait for the next book in this series
Thank you to Dena (Batch of Books) for your review program!So. Camels played a prominent part in this story. It didn't deteriorate my opinion of the book, it's just....camels were mentioned many times. XD But I understand, it was part of the culture. Still, what does the camel say?MOVING ONThis book was....less than I was expecting. I wanted rich Mesopotamian culture. Instead I got a whole lot ofand yup, you guessed it, Jayden is the main character of Forbidden. She and her family are part of a
This book took my breath away. I loved the immersive story and the rich setting of ancient Mesopotamia. The customs, traditions, and beliefs of the desert people were captivating and every time I set the book down I couldn't wait to pick it up again. I've never read anything like this before.Jayden was a wonderful protagonist and her fears, hopes, and loves were all very real. I easily slipped inside this historical world and experienced everything right alongside Jayden. Kadesh was wonderful,
I love this book! It was so interesting to learn about how the desert people lived. How they traveled around the desert. Jayden's trails and tribulations kept me at the edge of my seat. We learn that her betroth (Horeb) is a serial killer of sorts. Jayden still tries to do right by her Family but slowly feels drawn to the stranger Kadesh. Horeb treats Jayden terrible and almost kills her. I didn't like the ending but I hope there is a 2nd book to follow PLEASE!!!!
Nose Graze Book reviews & blogging tipsI absolutely ADORED this book! Forbidden is one of the most unique books I've read in a while. I think the words Mesopotamian, desert, tribe, and dancing say it all. When's the last time you read a young adult book that involved those?? The overall plot may not be that unique (forbidden love) but the interesting setting really made Forbidden stand out.Everything in Forbidden felt different from what I've read before. The strict hierarchy in the
