Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. I’ve chosen a book this week that is a sequel to a book I read as part of a blog tour and absolutely fell in love with it. The first book was called Forbidden, and you can read my review of it HERE. Here’s the blurb for this second book, Banished, from Goodreads:
She thought she’d lost everything . . .
After spending months traveling the harsh, unforgiving Mesopotamian desert, Jayden reunites with a broken, injured Kadesh. Although everyone was convinced the violent and unpredictable Horeb, Jayden’s betrothed, killed the handsome prince, Jayden knew in her heart that her love was alive and safe. But their reunion is short-lived, as they learn Horeb is on their trail and determined to take back the girl he has claimed. Soon, the two star-crossed lovers are on the run toward Sariba, Kadesh’s homeland, where, as heir to the Kingdom, he plans to make Jayden his princess.
But the trek to Sariba is fraught with heartache and danger. After narrowly escaping being stoned to death for a crime she didn’t commit, and learning that her sister has disappeared, Jayden’s only solace is her love for Kadesh. But even he is keeping secrets from her . . . secrets that will change everything.
This gorgeous and enchanting sequel to Forbidden, is full of love, danger, and heated passion that will leave readers breathless.
The description leaves me very breathless! Can’t wait to read it, don’t know if I can wait clear till 2016.
So, what book are you eagerly awaiting this week?
The summary sounds intriguing!
I've just nominated you for The Book Fangirling Blog Award http://thereadingarmchair.blogspot.gr/2015/07/the-book-fangirling-blog-award-and.html
The first one was so good! I'll check out the award! Thanks!
I wanted to read Forbidden so bad last year but I never got to it. I still want to read it really bad! I just love the covers of these books, too. It seems like I have a little time to get to it. At least I won't have to wait as long for the sequel! Great pick!

It was so good, so much better than I'd expected. You can wait till closer to next year and then read them both in a row! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't heard of this one before… Sounds like a cool concept and the covers for both books are beautiful. Maybe I'll pick the first one up when the second one is about to come out!
Thanks for stopping by!
Kar @ Pause Time
That's always perfect timing! You should check it out for sure. Thanks for returning the stop!
This doesn't sound like something I would normally read, but I hope you enjoy reading it.
My WoW
I can't wait to read it. Thanks for visiting!
I like that cover and isn't it nice to get a sequel for a book that you've loved so much? Enjoy!
Especially when the book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Makes me wish I had already read Forbidden. I think the covers are really pretty and it's a plus that they coordinate. Hope you enjoy it when it arrives!
Well maybe you'll read them right in a row when this one comes out. Thanks for visiting!
Ohh great pick the synopsis of Forbidden have really intrigued and peeked my intrest when I first heard about it and now reading the synopsis of the second books makes me really want to read it. I will most definitely check it out of the library the next time I go there. Thank you for stopping by my blog! 🙂
You should definitely check it out. It was such a good read. Thanks for returning the stop!
I actually haven't read the first one! But it's encouraging to see you praise it so highly. And the synopsis for the sequel sounds so epic!
It was a really good read. And this one sounds just as good! Thanks for visiting!
This series is new to me. I'll have to check out some reviews of the first book. It definitely sounds interesting. I hope you enjoy it!!
Here is my WoW: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2015/07/waiting-on-wednesday-library-of-souls.html
YOu should definitely check it out. It was a really great read in my opinion. Thanks for stopping by!
I didn't get a chance to read forbidden yet, but this looks equally great!
That's what I'm thinking, sounds just as good! Thanks for visiting!
I have been eyeing Forbidden for a while, but I haven't gotten the chance to read it! Banished has an equally pretty cover and I'm being strongly tempted to start Forbidden right away now. 🙂
My WoW
Oh my gosh, when I picked up Forbidden I could barely put it down! You should definitely get started on it soon. Thanks for stopping by!
I started Forbidden and then had to put it down for tour books and need to pick it back up. I was really liking it so I'm sure I'll be reading this one as well. Great choice!
Tressa @ Wishful Endings
Hope you get time to pick it up and finish it soon! I actually read it for a tour and was so glad I did. Thanks for visiting!
Jessica @AGREATRead was nice enough to pass her copy of Forbidden on to me. I've got to read it, these covers get prettier and prettier!
Lucky you! I only had an ecopy of it. But I need to own it! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I just read Forbidden earlier this month and really enjoyed it! I look forward to reading the second book! 😀
Ariel @ Bookish Confessions
Can you believe we have to wait until next year? Gah! Thanks for visiting!
I've got this one on my radar too! I just read Forbidden within the last month and I enjoyed it more than I expected too. I actually ALMOST picked this one for my WOW this week, but I haven't posted my review of Forbidden yet. Great pick!
WOW

It's a good book. If you pick it up you'll have to come back and tell me what you think. Thanks for retuning the visit!
I'm not familiar with this series. Sounds good though.
Thanks for stopping by my WoW!
It's a good one, you should definitely try it! Thanks for returning the stop!
I loved book 1 and I can't wait for this one either. It will be a very torturous book I think! 😀
I think as well, not sure if it will be more torturous than the wait for it though!
This one sounds fantastic. I haven't read book one, but I love how exotic the setting sounds!
It's a very neat setting, I loved it! Thanks for stopping by!
I read somewhat of the first book but couldn't finish it, I might give it another try. I hope you love the sequel!
Betsy @ I Sold My Soul For Books
I'm sorry to hear that it didn't grab you like it did me. Can't wait till I can get ahold of the sequel. Thanks for visiting!

It is a beautiful cover, and a great read! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Forbidden is in my TBR list, I swear. Looong list T^T

Oh yeah, I know what you mean! Thanks for returning the stop.
I haven't heard of this series before, but it sounds pretty cool! Hope it's fantastic and the wait doesn't feel like forever 😉 Thanks for sharing & stopping by Bookmunchies!
I know, fortunately there are so many other books waiting to be read, it's not like I'll have nothing to read. Thanks for returning the stop.
Oh, the plot of this book sounds absolutely AMAZING! I love how the author has planned out the events, and also the characters themselves. The setting is exotic, and that's another plus. GREAT choice! So I'm heading right on over to Goodreads to add this one to my TBR!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting on my WOW!! Happy Reading!! : )
It was such a great read, I highly recommend it. Thanks for returning the visit!
I adore this cover! I haven't read the first book in the series, but I may try it. 🙂
YOu definitely should give it a try. Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah, so long. But I'm hoping maybe for an egalley, and I have plenty to read between now and then. Thanks for stopping by!
I have Forbidden, but haven't read it yet. The covers of this series are very striking. Great pick!
I think once you pick it up you'll love it! Thanks for visiting!
Ahhh, when I read Forbidden, I didn't know it was going to be a series. I hope you enjoy this one!
I figured with the way it ended there needed to be a sequel, so glad there was. Thanks for stopping by!
