Mia Curry is a professor who teaches a class in Alternative Sexuality at San Francisco State University. The class is quite popular because Mia teaches about the sociological effects on sexuality and discusses a wide range of sexual fetishes. One student catches her eye because of his striking good looks. His name is Jagger James and even though he is a bit older than the rest of her students, Mia would never think of having an affair with him.

Jagger would like nothing more than to seduce his lovely teacher. He can feel the simmering sexuality she hides behind her indifference towards him. Jagger is not in the market for a relationship, but he wouldn’t mind releasing some of his frustrations. Perhaps Jagger can invite her to dinner; after all he is a cook and can tantalize her senses which will perhaps lead her to his bed.

As Mia and Jagger dance around their attraction for one another, fellow professor, Karalee is having a flaming hot affair with Gideon, the new dean of the History department. He stretches the limits of her body in ways no other man has done before. Karalee opens herself up to this man, but he won’t let in her into his heart. Jagger and Mia finally come together after a few hot encounters. Mia has a sexual fetish that she has always been ashamed of. But now she can share it with Jagger who is all too willing to be that man to help her break down the sexual walls she has placed upon herself.

Eden Bradley has written one of the best erotic romances I have read this year. Forbidden Fruit has exceeded all my expectations in so many ways. This is one tale that is very heavy on sex with certain acts that may shock, and don’t be surprised if you need a fan to cool yourself off. Mia and Jagger are a wonderful couple, and Jagger is the one character who truly shines in this tale. His willingness and insight with Mia is amazing, and he becomes her teacher of sorts when it comes to sex and how far he allows Mia to achieve the ultimate high.

Even though Mia and Jagger’s romance is the main one, there is a nice secondary romance one Mia’s friend Karalee. Karalee and Gideon’s steamy encounters are also very enjoyable and there is a bit of a mystery about Gideon himself which Karalee tries to figure out. When all four of these people realize what is in their hearts for each other that is where the story lifts off and soars.

Forbidden Fruit is one book I urge everyone to read. Eden Bradley is an incredible author who writes scorching hot love scenes with characters who are very memorable and so very well written.
