Forbidden Love by Kayelle Allen

MM Sci-Fi Romance ~ Antonello Brothers: Immortal Book 1

Every lifetime, Luc breaks the rule: Never fall in love with a mortal.

But when the immortal Luc meets Izzorah, he experiences peace like he’s never known…peace that lingers far beyond their brief encounter. After Izzorah’s injury and the failure of synthetic cures to match his rare alien blood, Luc saves him, risking disclosure of a secret identity.

Exposing immortal blood to the mortal world could awaken an ancient threat that has hunted Luc’s kind for millennia. Immortal blood not only heals mortals; it resurrects their dead. But will Izzorah want him once he discovers the man behind the mask?

To survive among humans, Izzorah conceals both his near-blindness and his uncommon gift, the power to read emotions. Luc’s loneliness and desperate yearning for love break Izzorah’s heart. How can he not risk showing his true self to the man who saved him? But will Luc embrace the truth behind Izzorah’s mask?

In a universe where love and survival collide, their bond could transcend time itself. But first, they must confront the truths that threaten to tear them apart…

A first time gay sci fi romance happy ever after (workplace, forced proximity, age gap).

Reviews

This is one impressive volume, not only in size but the sheer detail Kayelle Allen has put into creating a whole new and totally convincing world. I am in awe! I find myself using some of the language she has created. – Angela P

Surrender Love is a well-written excursion into a complex and highly developed universe known as the Tarthian Empire. This is on the whole a love story that has a sub-plot of political intrigue, and for all that it is a good-sized novel, it is a quick and engrossing read. Ms. Allen has obviously put a lot of work into developing this universe, its various customs and occupants, as well as the Felis language, and this has paid off by making the Tarthian Empire very real for the reader. – Whitney

I truly believe out of all the lovers I’ve seen Luc with, Rah is the one sent by whatever God grants love and happiness. He’s Luc’s gift for the times over the thousands of years where Luc was suffering or lonely. I absolutely loved this book, and I can’t wait to see where Ms. Allen is going to take us next. – Sue R
