Forbidden: A Billionaire Office Romance (The Campbell Family Saga Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.6 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

A boss, an assistant, and their forbidden love.

Jarred was once the rising star of the London financial world. But a cruel twist of fate upended his life, and he walked away from it all. Two years later, his father, the patriarch of the Campbell real-estate empire, needs him back in London.

Although Rose Murphy has an iron-clad rule against romance in the workplace, she had a longtime secret crush on her boss, Jarred. Then he left. But now he’s back and soon she’s second-guessing everything.

Sparks and fireworks consume their workplace as the two can’t keep their hands off each other.
Yet Rose doesn’t know the one unwritten rule within the Campbell family, and Jarred is determined not to tell her.

But secrets don’t stay quiet, and consequences find them both, placing their livelihoods at risk. Is their love more important than their careers?

All books of The Campbell Family Saga are standalone novels with recurring characters from the Campbell family of Campbell Investments. Each one contains drama, intrigue, and steamy happily ever afters.

    Good start to a series that grabbed my attention. I can be picky about the office romance trope because it can become a bit cliche. But this book didn’t have that.

    Rose and Jarrod are a fun pair and their chemistry was off the charts. Family and past relationships have shaped them but these two deserved to be with one another. I was rooting for them.

    The story dragged just a tad but the various secondary characters kept it interesting and am anxious to read subsequent books.

    The Campbells are a rich family in England, with many holdings, particularly in architecture and real estate. This story follows the youngest sibling, Jarred.

    Jarred used to work in Campbell Investments until his mother's death turned his world on its head. Not able to handle his grief properly, he partied hard for 2 years straight. When his dad finally decides that he has had enough of Jarred's behaviour, he is forced to return to London to work in his old department, but as an assistant. He soon finds that his boss, Rose, is as charming as he remembers and is soon enamoured with her. But the Campbells don't mix business with pleasure, so will their relationship ever outgrow the fling stage?

    Rose had always had a thing for Jarred before his departure from the company, and now that he's back and she's seeing him in a new light, her fantasies of him align with her real-time view of him. But he's the owner's son, and she's afraid of what it would do to her reputation career-wise if word got out that she was dating him.

    Rose & Jarred's romance was sweet, with a satisfying slow burn. Their chemistry was unmistakable. It's full of family drama and little mysteries that promise answers as the series progresses, I hope.

    This is my first read by Gloria Daven and this first book in the series was a great introduction. While it introduced many characters, and name-dropped a few, I wasn't lost as I read. I look forward to more from this series; it already is intriguing.

    This is Jarred and Rose’s story. Jarred had it all when he walked away from everything, and now 2-years later he has been summoned home and is back working with his brother. Rose has had a crush on Jarred for some time, but she has a stead fast rule about relationships in the workplace. The chemistry between these two is intense and undeniable. This is a good story which is fast paced, and is intriguing, and with family, drama, emotions, and love, which leads to an enjoyable tale. I look forward to reading more from this author and I recommend this story.

    Forbidden by Gloria Daven is the First book in the London Love Affairs Series. This is the story of Jarred and Rose. Rose is the assistant to Jarred and the Campbell family real estate. Rose has found that she has a crush on Jarred but knows that due to her job and who he is it can't go anywhere. Jarred was once the business star of the business world but that was two years ago. Jarred choose to walkway from it all after something happened. Now in his present day his father has called him back to the family Campbell real estate empire. I enjoyed this book and will be looking for from this series and author.

    This is Book 1 in the London Love Affairs Series and my first read by this author, and I must say that I quite enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It is an off limits romance between Jarred and his assistant Rose. These likeable characters and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. It is a slow burn love story filled with drama, steam, family dynamic, frustrating moments, unexpected twists, and passion, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. The main characters share an undeniable chemistry and connection. An engaging page turner with a happy ending.

    I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Grey's Promotions and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

    This definitely is not your typical office romance. Rose and Jarrod are great characters with off-the-chart chemistry that they are unable to act upon due to their working together. The other characters are also interesting, and hopefully they will be the subjects of the remaining books in this series.
    Looks like another addictive series by Ms. Daven. Can’t wait!

    I’m definitely intrigued by this new series! This was a great start and introduction to a new series and a interesting family. Jarred is back working with his brother after taking a two year break and he is not happy about it. Rose now has to figure out how to work with Jarred without making a fool out of herself. These two definitely have a great connection and fun chemistry. Both Jarred and Rose have dysfunctional former relationships that still haunt them. Jarred and Rose found each other at a perfect time in their lives, they both needed someone to be supportive and there for each other. This was a great fast paced read with so many interwoven stories mashed into one great read. There were definitely a lot of different characters introduced in this book and I look forward to seeing what happens with them next.

    This was a slow story for me, thus the four star review. It was an entertaining read between Jarred who lost all his credit card privileges and Rose who worked for the company. I had a hard time liking his CEO brother though. He came off as an entitled jerk in my opinion. I received an advanced reader copy and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.
