Everything about Fiona is forbidden. She’s a party girl with dark desires. She’s beautiful, irresponsible, irresistible. She’s my patient. I’m her therapist. I’m past wanting her. Past possessing her. Past bedding her or protecting her. I’m willing to be self-destructive, negligent, brave, audacious, and stronger than I ever believed possible. She’s blunt force trauma to the heart. And she calls another man Master. **** Sensitive readers should be aware that this book gets a little dark. There's pain with the sex, and one character treats our main character terribly. **** If you've read KICK and/or USE from the Perdition Series, they are in here. The second half of the book is BREAK, which is the end of Fiona Drazen's story. There's a link right in front where you can click to get right to Break. This book is an entire story, from inception to epilogue. Standalone. End of.

From the Author Questions about Forbidden from Nina at The Literary Gossip....Forbidden is Kick and Use, which have already been released, and the brand new book, Break. Why did you do it that way?Kick was released as part of the Bend anthology, so it's owned by about 20K people, but it kind of got lost. So the fact that Kick had had an odd type of release for the beginning of a series meant Use didn't reach a lot of people.When I wrote Break, which is longer than Kick and Use combined, I did it thinking it wasn't going to reach anyone but my hardcore fans. I read the whole series over and thought it really hung well together as a standalone. Then inspiration struck. Because Break would be more than half the book, I could release as a standalone! My fans would just skip to Break and everyone else could start from the beginning.Fiona's not your average heroine. What made you want to write about a celebutante?I wanted to explore what happens when a normal person is raised without boundaries. How pleasure and pain become the same thing because there are no limits to anything. She does drugs and has a lot of kinky sex because she's seeking boundaries. When she's seeking the limits of her darkness, the story gets dark.You write about Hollywood a lot! Why is that?I live in the heart of Los Angeles. I've almost been hit by paparazzi and I'll see a random crowd gathering around an entourage. My kids go to school with the kids of very famous people who live behind hedges and need bodyguards. I see the toll this can take on a person. But I also see how normal and human celebrities and their children are.

Haunting, visceral, and intensely heartfelt By Rachel AfterDarkBookLovers CD Reiss has outdone herself with Forbidden, and I feel like hugging her for giving us such an amazing story and a character like Fiona Drazen. It's unlike anything out there and unlike anything Reiss has written before. So many times this story put me through the emotional meat grinder and punched me in the gut only to turn around and fill me with complete joy. It's emotionally devastating, psychologically intriguing, and equal parts agonizing and poignant. And it's a story that will stick with you long after you've finished it.“I knew who I was. I was a celebrity without talent. I was an heiress. I was a party waiting to happen. I was an addict. I was his…”We've met numerous members of the Drazen family through Reiss’ other series, and here we get Fiona's story, and what a story it is. She's unapologetically sexual, an addict, and an in your face party girl with a self-destructive streak a mile wide. And she's a woman caught between two men who will go to any lengths to fight for her.“I’m the only one who can break you.”On one side is Deacon. Her lover, her Dom, her safe haven, and the man who owns her mind, body, and soul. He's the person who gives her boundaries and rules to ground her when she spirals out of control, and he's the man that knows how to break her down when she needs to be built back up.On the other side is Dr. Elliot Chapman. When Fiona wakes up in a mental hospital for stabbing her boyfriend with no recollection of how or why it happened, Elliot is the therapist assigned to help her regain those memories as well as help her uncover the reasons for her self-destructive behavior. He's the man who sees beyond her bad choices and the celebutante status, and he sees her as more than just a pretty thing for men to use. But he's also a man who in some ways is just as lost as Fiona is, and it's through his sessions with her that Elliot has his own sort of awakening when they both find themselves undeniably attracted to each other."I break rules with you. I'd break more. I'd break them all."The dynamics that Fiona has with each of these men is compelling in their own way, and even though I had a strong preference for who I thought was the right choice, I could see the value in both of them. Fiona is a character with a whole host of problems and through the first half of the book I wasn't sure who the best choice for her would be, or maybe neither of them were. Deacon is a force of nature that grounds Fiona when nothing else can, and he loves her not despite her flaws, but because of them. But does he love her the way that she needs? Is his love healthy for her or does it do more harm than good? If Deacon is a force of nature, then Elliot is the calm before the storm. He soothes her, calms her, and at the same time challenges her in ways no one else has. But is it love or lust that's driving him to her? Is she just an escape from his own disappointing life or is she worth losing everything for? Their relationship crossed so many ethical lines and maybe that's what I loved most about it, the fact that it was so forbidden and wrong in so many ways, and yet so natural that their attraction was almost inevitable. Each of them filled a void that the other needed. It's a story that doesn't have easy answers but what makes it so remarkable is that I was so invested in Fiona as a character that, while I loved Elliot (and I love him fiercely and unabashedly), I didn't mind who she ended up with as long as she was happy in the end. Every interaction, every emotion, every word they uttered was filtered through the lense of “how does this affect Fiona?” On the surface it may seem like a triangle, but really it's Fiona’s journey from a self-described junkie sex addict undeserving of love to a person who discovers her own self worth.“Crazy as it was, he loved me. Of all the world’s gifts, that was the greatest, and I wasn’t going to decide I didn’t deserve it. Only he could decide that, and if he said I was good enough for him, I wouldn’t argue otherwise.”It’s a credit to Reiss as a writer that she could have me so engaged in the fate of a fictional character to the point that I agonized over it. Everything about this book was emotional, but it wasn't the flowery, purple prose kind of emotion. It was distinctly visceral and gut wrenching, and also intensely erotic. I read the first two parts of Forbidden over a year ago when it was first conceived as serial, and I felt like I've been holding my breath ever since waiting for the end of Fiona’s journey and I didn't release that breath till the very last word of the epilogue. Luckily, Reiss has decided to release the entirety of Songs of Perdition as a standalone, and anyone who hasn't read it before can experience Fiona Drazen in all of her messy glory at once without the wait, and she is totally worth it. She along with CD Reiss are truly one of a kind.
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Heart-pounding unconventional romance By Xkoqueen Forbidden is the bundled version of CD Reiss’ Perdition series. I started the series when it was initially published. The series was to contain three statements: Kick, Use, Break. Lucky you—the series is now published in its entirety as a standalone novel!Kick is the first part of Forbidden, and it excellently sets up the story and frames the main characters. Our favorite red-headed party girl wakes in a prestigious psych hospital with no memory of what happened the night she stabbed her boyfriend. She is raw, crass, vulnerable, feral, and scared.The plot felt thick and sluggish like Fiona coming out of her drug and alcohol haze. Much of the novella involves Fiona recalling things of her near and distant past as she begins her psych evaluation and therapy. C.D. Reiss’ characters are intense, wicked, and misguided; the setting is claustrophobic and confining. Readers easily become Fiona's inmates instead of her observers.Use is the second part of Forbidden. It is just as incredible as Kick. The research and detail that goes into her writing makes her stories more vivid and realistic.Use is raw and edgy. Flashbacks, hypnosis and returned memories are very interesting tools for telling this tale. The pace of the book is frenetic and hot. At times I felt as embroiled in the manic emotions of the Westonwood patients as they were.The conclusion of Forbidden is titled Break. Fiona is like a paint splatter on a Jackson Pollock painting. She was raw before she entered Westonwood, and the atrocities she encounters while under their care have left her utterly broken. Her edges are frayed. Fiona’s self-hatred is brazenly apparent. Her feelings of unworthiness have driven every decision she has made in the past. Will she let continue to see herself in the same way or will she take the advice of Dr. Elliot Chapman and find a new way to describe herself?Fiona is a white-hot mess. Her emotional baggage is weighing her down and the tide is rising. Her vulnerability and her inner spirit make her attractive to both her hot psychiatrist and her gorgeous long-time dom/boyfriend. Both of these men want Fiona to get better, but the path they think she needs to take is wildly different.The men in Fiona’s life are complete opposites. Deacon, Fiona’s longtime Dom/boyfriend, is dark and brooding. He is not a man to be crossed. He is handsome, confident, and ruthless. He loves Fiona deeply and sees it as his responsibility to keep her on track and out of trouble. He’s the sort of man that readers should want Fiona to be done with, but I found his strength and his dedication to Fiona quite appealing.“I don’t know what I care about besides you."Elliot Chapman gave up his planned career in the seminary to become a therapist. His compassion for people, his sexual fantasies, and Fiona’s wantonness push him into an untenable and unethical situation. He wants to help her get better. He wants her to see her self-worth and make positive changes in her life. He wants to participate in the sexual kink that Fiona describes in their sessions. Elliot first appears as Fiona’s guardian angel, but I felt like his fantasies about his patient to be just as selfish as Deacon’s method for helping Fiona.“How far was I willing to go?”Ultimately, Fiona is the heroine, as it should be, and she finds a new path.“I was loved by a team of smart, screwed, comically-inclined vigilantes. But I was loved."I loved how masterfully C.D. Reiss weaves in details of her other books into each of her stories about the large and obscenely wealthy Drazen family. Forbidden takes place (or at least starts off) about sixteen years prior to the Songs of Submission series, while the Songs of Corruption series takes place concurrent to the Songs of Submission series. In each series, various Drazen family members have roles, and each of the series has beamed the spotlight on one of the siblings. I love Margie Drazen—the family fixer—she loves her siblings deeply and will do absolutely anything for them.I was surprised by so many things in the conclusion of Forbidden. The role Debbie plays in Fiona’s life (we’re first introduced to Debbie in the Songs of Submission series) was not at all expected; I was blown away! I anticipated that both Deacon and Elliot would “fight” over Fiona, and I was dumbfounded by the resolution. It was not at all what I anticipated. Whether I expected plot points or was shocked by them, each page had me riveted and my heart pounding.Forbidden can be a tough read. The mature, dark content will not appeal to some, but if you read this story more as a woman’s journey away from a self-destructive life, you’ll appreciate the glorious, rich details and character development CD Reiss’ intricate storytelling.
16 of 20 people found the following review helpful. FORBIDDEN will crush, devastate, and mend reader's hearts. By Shayna Renee's Spicy Reads FORBIDDEN will crush, devastate, and mend reader's hearts. From prologue to epilogue this story held my mind, body, and soul hostage. I will always be a prisoner to this author's words. Shocked, stunned, crazed, elated, and euphoric, I felt every emotion possible during this read. Once again, CD Reiss shows off her amazing talent with every word, every page, and every chapter. She is a poet, a master, an unbelievable talent. Reiss brings a smile to my face no matter what genre she writes in. Her characters are flawed, damaged you might say, but in the end, they get the happily ever after that they were always meant to have. The author did her readers AND her characters justice in her Perdition series. In KICK, I was AMAZED. In USE, I was STUNNED, but in FORBIDDEN, the book that ties it all together, I was FLOORED! CD Reiss knows just what to write to slay me completely. But she also knows how to bring it all together to give her readers a scorching HOT and emotionally driven ending that astounds AND satisfies.Deacon, Elliot, Fiona. What is written in the stars for these three? Deacon has her submission. Elliot has her heart. Choices need to be made. Who will show Fiona her worth?A story of sexy, lies, and revenge. FORBIDDEN gives the fans what they want. A sexy, gripping, and intoxicating read that will have you on pins and needles the whole through.*Gifted copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
