Action-packed, exciting and sexy...Rita Herron continues her Demonborn series with a compelling story of a demon walking the fine line of good and evil who finds his soul mate in Forbidden Passion.

FORBIDDEN PASSION by Rita Herron is a paranormal romance. It is the third in the Demonborn series but can be read as a stand alone. The others in the series are Book 1 Insatiable Desire, and Book 2 is Dark Hunger. This is an exciting series about demons, monsters and good vs evil.

FORBIDDEN PASSION is an action-packed, dark paranormal romance, which at times has a quite eerie feel. The part-demon hero, Dante, is struggling with his demon side and has vowed to protect the town, that he was raised in, from evil forces. Because Dante saved Marlena Bender instead of killing her, which was part of a demon initiation test, he was expelled from his demon family, and, now, seeks to protect his town and Marlena, in particular. During the terrible night of the test, Marlena's fa

The story began with a 13 year old part-demon Dante being ordered by his demon leader to kill young Marlena as the final part of his initiation to become a full member of their group. Instead of killing Marlena, however, Dante saved her. Fast forward years later, both have just come back to the town where it all began with Marlena now a doctor trying to find a cure for violent behavior and Dante is the new sheriff. When a serial killer emerges and starts killing women in sadistic ways and leavin

I was so excited that I won this book. Oh how I love paranormal romances! I just got done reading it and I really enjoyed it. I wish that I had read the other 2 books first, had I realized that there were 2 other books before this one. But it wasn't until I was on about the 2nd or 3rd chapter of this one. Not sure if I will go back to read them or not. This one pretty much summed up the story for me. I really don't like the mass market paper back books, so I purchess them on my Kindle when I wan

I won this book in a giveaway a while back and I'm just getting around to reading it. It was a very good book, catching my attention right away and hooking me into the story with a sadistic serial killer storyline that kept my heat pumping.

I really wanted to like this book, but it just didn't work for me. It had murder, serial killer, paranormal characters, etc-everything I like in books, but it just wasn't a read for me. I do enjoy murder mysteries-that is my first choice of a book to read. I have read books about the paranormal and enjoyed most of them. The demons in the book were ok--I've read other books with demons in it and learned some background that the author wanted to get out to the readers. I didn't find that in this

I won this copy from Goodreads and am so glad I did. This was a type of book I normally do not read. Let me say right now that it exceeded my expectations! Dark, rip roaring tale of murder, demons, and love. I fell in love with Dante..
Kudos to Rita Herron for a page turning story. It more than held my interest without a problem. Looking forward to more books by this stunning author. Thank you Goodreads!!

I was excited to win this book and glad to say it was easy to follow and entertaining. I'm a pretty "clean" reader, so some of the language was a bit over the top for me. Classic boy gets girl story!

This latest book of the Demon Born romantic fantasy series is filled with non-stop action. Dante, the strong, possesive demon meets his match in the strong and independent Marlena. While this wasn't my favorite book of the series it does not lag far behind.

Won from GoodReads' "First Reads" contest.
I was concerned that I'd have trouble following this story, since it's part of a series, but it stood alone pretty well. Just wasn't really my taste.
