Tessa couldn’t believe the way her body gravitated to him. From the first moment, he'd been hers. At least in her mind, he was. When she finally got the courage to go to him, he pushed her away harshly. Now, she had to find a way to move on.
Dominik wanted her from the moment he first laid eyes on her, but they were from two different worlds, and she’d never be able to handle the dominant side of his nature. He also guessed that when she found out about his past, she’d run as far away from him as she could, so he wasn’t going to take the chance of a broken heart. If that happened, he knew he’d never recover.
Someone who wanted to hurt her brought them together, but he still fought his attraction. It was only when he’d been told a bit about her past that he thought she might be able to love him and want to stay with him. He only had to get rid of the threat against her before it was too late.
Be Warned: anal sex, BDSM
Excerpt:
“Now, you have a choice. We can either watch a movie, go to sleep, or make love. I’ll warn you that from this time forward, we’ll never sleep one night apart.”
He watched a flush of desire blanket her face.
“I want you.”
“Then you’ll have me.” He stalked toward her and lifted her into his arms before he turned and took her into the bedroom. He laid her on the mattress and stripped off her robe.
He shook his head when she went to cover herself. “No, Angel, don’t ever cover yourself with me.”
She looked confused. “Angel?”
He grinned as he unbuttoned his shirt. “The first time I saw you, I thought you were an angel, so I’ve called you my angel since.”
He could tell that pleased her.
He finished undressing and stood still to let her look at him. He didn’t like the apprehension he saw on her face. He felt his heart drop. “Are the scars bothering you?”
Her eyes widened. “God, no. It’s…” She pointed to his penis.
“We’ll fit just fine,” he told her as he stroked his cock.
“It’s just … I mean, I know we’re not close to the same height, but I hadn’t thought about you being big everywhere. I just don’t know if I can…”
He lay down beside her and cradled her face. “Don’t. I promise we’ll fit. I plan to take all the time you need tonight. You just have to trust me.”
Her fingers skimmed over his cheek. “I do. I trust you more than anyone.”
“That makes me very happy, Angel. Now, relax, and let me make you feel good.”
Dominik started by kissing her, softly at first, but then deepening the contact, the hotter her desire got. At the same time, he let his hand drift down to cup one of her breasts. He tormented both her nipples until they were hard little pebbles and a deep red.
Tessa was already begging, and he hadn’t touched her cunt yet. He let his fingers skim over her skin, getting closer to the place he knew she needed him the most.
The longer he held out, her need would grow and become frantic. When he saw her tears of frustration, he knew she was ready for his finger.
He lifted his head. “Angel, are you on birth control?”
She panted and then nodded. “Yes.”
“I haven’t been with a woman in years. Do you trust me to go without a condom?”
“Yes. I trust you. I’d rather feel your skin against mine than rubber.”
He smiled. “I feel the same way.” His head dipped, and he continued to kiss her.
When his hand got to the junction of her thighs, one of his fingers pressed in between her cunt lips and down on her clit. She screamed and arched off the mattress. Fuck, she was perfect. He’d hardly touched her, and she was ready to go off.
“Let’s see how tight you are,” he murmured before slipping one of his fingers into her cunt.
They both groaned. She begged and pleaded, which told him she was ready for a deeper touch.
Holy cow this book was intense!!! I loved the push and pull off the characters. The storyline was original and I couldn’t put this book down until the end!!! I really would have liked to keep on reading about Tessa and Dominik. They had an undeniable and instant chemistry. Lila Fox is one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait to see what she brings next!!!

Hooked
Written by Allieli80 on 22nd Apr 2025
Forbidden Passion is a steamy, fast-paced romance that delivers everything its title promises—intensity, danger, and irresistible chemistry. Lila Fox weaves a story of love that defies the rules, with a protective hero and a heroine who stirs something fierce in him.
It’s the kind of forbidden love that keeps you turning pages late into the night. If you’re into bold passion, high stakes, and a hero who stops at nothing for the woman he wants, this one’s a must-read.

Amazing
Written by Sencillez on 19th Apr 2025
I loved reading Tessa and Dominik’s story in Forbidden passion by Lila Fox. From the minute she saw him in the bar she knew that he was her other half. Dominik felt the same way but believed their life’s were too different to be together. He believed his crappy backer would scare her off but he soon learns that they are more alike than he ever knew. The more they are together the more the passion grows between them. He will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and with him.

Tessa and Dominik are drawn to each other despite coming from seemingly different worlds. Dominik knew at first sight that he wanted Tessa to be his but he has a history that he worries will push her away if she found out so he keeps his distance. How long can he fight what he feels and keep away from Tessa. What will happen when she finds out about his past?

Ugh ?
This one was soo freaking good.
I mean Tessa and Dominik fell so hard for each other. Totally love at first sight / instalove story.
Unfortunately they both had crappy childhoods and were so insecure about themselves.
Dominik kept pushing Tessa away, but also didn't want to let her go.
? Tipical men?
Anyways it all worked out for them.
Totally worth the read.
I love the angst and then the love.??
I'm a glutton for angsty stories.

Written by Diana A on 19th Apr 2025
It was a nice book, easy to read. I understand his reluctancy to get to stop fighting his feeling for her, but everytime that she was trying something and got rejected and then try again, I felt like she was already not understanding the message. But at the end they were able to be together.

However, Dominik (who's been keeping his eye on Tessa since the first day she walked into said bar) thinks that she is too good for someone like him. So, he dismisses her.

Tessa and Dominik
Written by Maleficent on 19th Apr 2025
Tessa knew from the first moment she saw Dominik he'd be hers, but when she finally gets the courage to approach him, he rebuffs her. Dominik wanted nothing else than to claim Tessa but they were from different worlds and her would be too much for her. He knew that if he started something with her and she left him, he would never recover.
When a man tries to hurt Tessa, it is Dominik who saves her but he fights his attraction to her until he finds outs a little about her. Maybe she would want to stay with him always.
This is not a sweet tale, there is a lot of angst mostly due to lack of communication and assumptions.

This is such a fantastic book. It is an emotional read but ends with the best happily ever after. Tessa has been in love with Dominik since the first time she saw him at the local bar. She doesn't know it, but the feeling is mutual. I love Dominik's OTT ways and the care he has for Tessa. Excellent book with lots of spice.

Awww Dominik
Written by Reensburger on 19th Apr 2025
This was a nice, fast read. Dominik is a hard man. Big, gruff and in love with Tessa but he's not good enough for her. Or so he thinks. Tessa is tiny, brave and feels the same was about Dominik as he does her but the stubborn man is having none of it, until turning her away becomes dangerous for her. I enjoyed this book and the sweet ending.

Not Forbidden
Written by A.K. Shaw on 19th Apr 2025
Forbidden Passion is a page-turner full of drama, a little action in the form of intimidation and guys who won't take no for an answer, a steamy hot romance, and a love that was meant to be. From the beginning pages it is obvious that Tessa and Dominik's are destined, and that their passion is anything but forbidden. There is a realness, intenseness, and vulnerability about their feelings for another that is palpable. It stems from how they grew up. It makes them good together, once they learn to communicate and leads to a very happily ever after.

Written by JeniT on 19th Apr 2025
Dominic thought he knew what was best for him and Tessa. She was too good for him and he didn’t think he would survive losing her but he didn’t think pushing her away would hurt her like it did. Tessa didn’t have a happy childhood and was used to struggling but her heart can only take so much. When Dominic FINALLY pulls his head out of the sand he finds she is everything he ever dreamed of and more. The path to their HEA is met with some drama but both come out stronger for it.

This is a short read and very good. Anger arises at the beginning of the book. It stays for a while. Then hope, then hopelessness then upset and last happy.
Tessa has noticed Dominik on a few occasions at the local bar. She has been waiting on him to make the first move and she decides she will make it instead. Dominik just wanted to push her away thinking he wasn't good enough for her.
Will he get over his fear? How does Tessa feel after her @tt@ck? What does Dominik due? Will they have a real relationship? Let's finish reading to find out!

Forbidden Passion!
Written by Mary on 19th Apr 2025
This is such a sweet and steamy story about Tessa and Dominik. They first see each other and it is instant. Both think they have found the other half of their soul. When she finally gets the strength to approach him, he pushes her away in a hurtful manner. She walks away and heads home but is attacked. Dominik rescues her, tries to keep her safe and protects her. Both has insecurity issues and have problems with communicating, especially where their feelings are involved. This is a fairly short and quick read that warms the heart. There is a bit of danger, suspense, violence and a possible trigger.

Forbidden Passion by Lila Fox
Written by LyndsayL on 19th Apr 2025
This was a fun read and I found I couldn't put it down. Tessa was such a sweet woman despite everything she had gone through. Dominik was taken instantly by Tessa there was something about this woman that sucked him in. Reading about how their relationship develops was a lot of fun. Together they are a very sweet couple. I loved every moment of this book and it was a fun read. Lila Fox is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. Nothing like an Alpha male meeting his perfect match in a tiny dynamic package.

Forbidden Passion
Written by Cindy J Books on 19th Apr 2025
This story was very intense. Tessa had always been attracted to Dominik. He was also attracted to her but didn't think he was good enough for her. He didn't know her background.
I love how alpha male Dominik was. He did what he had to do to protect Tessa. She was always scared he was going to leave her. They were both vulnerable toward each other. Both of them had difficult childhoods which made it hard to trust. Their chemistry was so good. Very enjoyable story.

Sweet and steamy with action and drama
Written by LBing on 19th Apr 2025
This was a great romance for Tessa and Dominik but it wasn't without it's drama. These two are drawn to each other but he really resisted until she was attacked... Both of them have baggage from their childhoods that really bring their vulnerability to love out to play. They were so real and their communication issues gave everything both an intensity and also a weakness. I was thrilled to see them get their happy ending and especially love how they worked to bring foster children in to their sphere of love. Definitely a re-read romance for me and I look forward to what's next by this author :D

Forbidden
Written by Michele77 on 19th Apr 2025
A dark read but yet not. Both Dominik and Tessa have dark pasts that they have overcome, but their pasts still linger in the present. Lots of heat but yet angst from others and lack of verbal communication. The story keeps the reader engaged and the angst helps build the plot and moves it along.

Lila has done it again. This is a great story with slightly dark overtones and grabs you from the first page. Tessa and Dominik are great characters and show you that sometimes your past doesn't have to ruin your future. You have to read this to truly appreciate it.

Both think they have found the other half of their soul. When she finally gets the strength to approach him, he pushes her away in a hurtful manner. She walks away and heads home but is attacked. Dominik rescues her, tries to keep her safe and protects her. Both has insecurity issues and have problems with communicating, especially where their feelings are involved. This is a fairly short and quick read that warms the heart. There is a bit of danger, suspense, violence and a possible trigger.

Tessa knew Dominik was the one for her when she first saw him. He was deterred because he assumed they were too different.

Tessa was such a sweet woman despite everything she had gone through. Dominik was taken instantly by Tessa there was something about this woman that sucked him in. Reading about how their relationship develops was a lot of fun. Together they are a very sweet couple. I loved every moment of this book and it was a fun read. Lila Fox is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. Nothing like an Alpha male meeting his perfect match in a tiny dynamic package. ","date":"19th Apr 2025"},{"name":"Cindy J Books","rating":"4","title":"Forbidden Passion","text":"This story was very intense. Tessa had always been attracted to Dominik. He was also attracted to her but didn't think he was good enough for her. He didn't know her background.\r\n\r\nI love how alpha male Dominik was. He did what he had to do to protect Tessa. She was always scared he was going to leave her. They were both vulnerable toward each other. Both of them had difficult childhoods which made it hard to trust. Their chemistry was so good. Very enjoyable story.","date":"19th Apr 2025"},{"name":"LBing","rating":"5","title":" Sweet and steamy with action and drama","text":"This was a great romance for Tessa and Dominik but it wasn't without it's drama. These two are drawn to each other but he really resisted until she was attacked... Both of them have baggage from their childhoods that really bring their vulnerability to love out to play. They were so real and their communication issues gave everything both an intensity and also a weakness. I was thrilled to see them get their happy ending and especially love how they worked to bring foster children in to their sphere of love. Definitely a re-read romance for me and I look forward to what's next by this author :D ","date":"19th Apr 2025"},{"name":"Michele77","rating":"5","title":"Forbidden","text":"A dark read but yet not. Both Dominik and Tessa have dark pasts that they have overcome, but their pasts still linger in the present. Lots of heat but yet angst from others and lack of verbal communication. The story keeps the reader engaged and the angst helps build the plot and moves it along. ","date":"19th Apr 2025"},{"name":"Chris S","rating":"5","title":" Forbidden Passion","text":"Lila has done it again. This is a great story with slightly dark overtones and grabs you from the first page. Tessa and Dominik are great characters and show you that sometimes your past doesn't have to ruin your future. You have to read this to truly appreciate it.
