ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 6, 2021

I did a bad thing. I kissed my professor, and I liked it.
A lot.

Bastian Pierce is twice my age. Sinfully gorgeous. Notoriously wild.

He’s temptation wrapped in leather, tattoos, and Savile Row linen. And he knows it.

The problem is, so do I.

Firsthand.

In my defense, it was before I knew he was my professor.

Before I knew the devil’s deal he’d made with my family.

Consider this my confession.

Signed with a scandal.

Sealed with the forbidden.

Delivered with a fall.

And it’s a long way down…

REVIEW:FORBIDDEN CROWN is the fourth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult SAVAGE HEIRS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is thirty two year old author/college professor Bastian Pierce, and eighteen year old college student Julianna Mc Creed’s story line. FORBIDDEN CROWN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the storyline premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bastian and Julianna) following several intersecting paths, FORBIDDEN CROWN focuses on the forbidden/age-gap romance between thirty two year old author/college professor Bastian Pierce, and eighteen year old college student Julianna McCreed. Bastian Pierce is hiding from a scandal not of his making but a scandal none-the-less. Teaching English Literature at Oxford Hills Academy, to the spawn of the rich and elite pushes all of Bastian’s buttons but an almost one-night stand finds our hero facing the same woman that has starred in his fantasies, eighteen year old college student Julianna McCreed, a young woman who is off-limits in more ways than one. A relationship with Julianna would tank his career renewing and replicating the troubles that continue to dog. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bastian and Julianna, and the fall-out as accusations go public, and Bastian finds himself facing his troubles, alone.

Julianna McCreed has not had the easiest life having lived in the shadow of her scandalized parents. As her mother’s ‘puppet’ Julianna is forced to walk the walk, and talk the talk but a marriage of convenience is the last thing Julianna is willing to suffer let alone the continuing threats from a stalker who is forcing our heroine to do something she does not want. Meeting Bastian Pierce outside of the school, meant getting to know the man that stirred something within but both Bastian and Julianna know that if caught, it will ruin more than Bastian’s career in the face of moral and ethical dilemmas.

Then relationship between Julianna and Bastian is one of immediate attraction, one that begins before our couple are aware of their mutual connections. Bastian fears reprisal and retaliation if his relationship with Julianna is discovered and revealed, while Julianna struggles with her attraction to a man that may be committed to someone else. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including the appearance of previous story line couples as well as the new head of the Reznikov Bratva Konstantin Reznikov, Sergei Melnyk; and Julianna’s parents Rebecca and Braddock McCreed.

FORBIDDEN CROWN is a story of forbidden love; a story of family and relationships, power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and misunderstanding. The fast paced premise is detailed and sensitive; the romance is taboo, edgy and provocative- the sexual attraction is palpable and hot; the characters are impulsive, spirited and impassioned.

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.

Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.

When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside–rain or shine.
