Product Description
The past two months have been the longest of Byron Renfield's three hundred and seventy-nine years. After almost four centuries of dedicated service to his clan, four centuries spent in the pursuit of redemption, the powerful vampire did the inexplainable and unforgivable. In an impulsive act of passion he claimed the beautiful Violet Deeds, a human, as his mate. When Violet found herself stranded on a remote island occupied by the charismatic Byron she never imagined that she would be saving him, but the fiery red-headed psychiatrist did just that-bringing the immortal to life and introducing him to love. Now, afraid of retribution from his clan and concerned for Violet's safety, Byron takes steps to protect them both. But will it be enough? Irrevocably bound together, as the tie between Byron and Violet strengthens they step into one another's worlds, awakening long buried desires and threatening the balance of society and nature. A kidnapping, an underground world of rebel vampires, an elaborate network of elite clansman led by an ageless prophet, and a rescue mission that will keep you on the edge of your seat all come together perfectly in this thrilling sequel to Samantha Sommersby's Forbidden: The Claim. An erotic romance you won't be able to put down, Forbidden: The Awakening will have you begging for more!

 Excellent Second Book in the Series September 21, 2008
Excellent second book in this contemporary erotic vampire series. Heat and lots of it, humor and intelligence. The winning triad for me.
Other reviewers have provided well written story summaries; I won't be redundant. I loved the premise in the first book, "The Claim" and fell into the story line immediately. This second book is a continuation of the first book. I hope that the publisher will eventually combine the first two books into one larger book. They really belong together.
I love the way this author writes and love her new twist on the vampire alpha male. Byron Renfield "Ren" is everything you could want in an Alpha male vampire hero; sexy, very hot, but Ren also has elements of a sensitive romantic nerd rolled in to his character. A "he had me at hello" kind of guy.
The tension and attraction between Ren and his HEA Violet is drawn in a way that raises your blood pressure and occasionally gets one's tear ducts working. Violet's character is also well drawn and developed over the first two books. She is in her way an Alpha female and she and Ren balance each other. There is a cast of characters incorporated into Ren's and Violet's story, with their own stories that follow from the first book to this book, and new characters are added here in the second book, who one hopes will be developed in future books.
I downloaded all three books of the series on the same night from allromanceebooks.com and read all night. I cannot wait for the next, fourth book in the series. I am hoping for a long relationship with this series.
Forbidden July 10, 2008
Vampire Byron Renfield has escaped his Dominie vampire clan to be with his mate Violet Deeds. Two months ago Byron claimed Violet but had to send her away. Now they are reunited but Cain, his clan's prophet, may seek retribution for taking a human mate and leaving the clan. While Byron and Violet struggle a bit adjusting to life together, Byron's worst fears materialize when Cain makes a move.
Forbidden: The Awakening is a really good story. It's intriguing and full of action and drama. Byron and Violet are very loving, erotic, and passionate together. Byron is sexy and has a very commanding presence, and Violet is sweet but tough. I would strongly recommend reading The Claim before Forbidden: The Awakening to better understand the story. Forbidden: The Awakening is a great sequel to The Claim.

Ok, first of all, Vampire romances are basically all I read. So of course I read the first forbidden, and liked it ok. Thought it was kind of short, but was glad to see that it would be continued. This one was a little dissapointing. It picked up where the first one left off, Byron was escaping his clan and sent violet away. so in the first part, he comes after her, they have hot hallway sex, yada yada yada. then there are a bunch of other weird characters thrown in, and it just got a littlle confusing. And when violet gets kidnapped and Byron goes after her, a whole new plot just unravels. Ill probably read the third one, just so i can feel some sense of completion with this story.
True Love? February 8, 2008
This is my first time reading Samantha Sommersby, but I can say it won't be my last!!! Her novel "Forbidden: The Awakening" was so hot I read it in one day. Yes a few hours. She shows you that just because a love may be forbidden doesn't mean it's always right. She used her characters to show you a different light. What I loved most about her book was how her characters were so open to the new experiences that were happening to each and every one of them.
Great Job Samantha!!!!!

Disappointing! Should have been combined with another story or two and sold as a novella so a purchaser would expect a short story with little to no character development or story line.
