The 'Black Dagger Brotherhood' series has elements of this, though it's more vampire-focused. The brothers, as warriors, often fall for females who are off-limits—human, aristocrat, or from rival factions. The forbidden aspect is often about class, race (like a vampire falling for a sympath, a half-breed), or direct orders from the king. It's over-the-top, intensely passionate, and full of archaic language, which makes the romantic obstacles feel epic and life-or-death. If you like your romance with a side of intense action and a unique slang-heavy dialect, it's a ride.

The 'All Souls Trilogy' by Deborah Harkness ('A Discovery of Witches') is a more academic, historical take. Diana, a witch, and Matthew, a vampire, have a love that's forbidden by a supernatural covenant that forbids inter-species mixing. Their bond sets off a chain of events that threatens the fragile peace of the entire creature world. It's a slow-burn romance woven into a tapestry of alchemy, history, and magic. The forbidden aspect is less about personal danger and more about geopolitical upheaval in the paranormal community.

The 'House of Night' series has a lot of teen vampire romance with forbidden edges, often involving humans or teachers, within the boarding school setting. It's very much a product of its mid-2000s YA boom era, full of drama and goddess mythology. The rules of the vampyre society create natural barriers for the protagonists' relationships. It's not the most critically acclaimed, but it definitely nailed the addictive, soap-opera quality a lot of readers crave in this niche.

For a dark, erotic horror take, try 'The Hunger' by Whitley Strieber. Miriam Blaylock is an ancient vampire-like being, and her "love" for her mortal companions is a possessive, doomed cycle. The forbiddance here is the natural lifespan—she keeps them as lovers until they begin to decay, then preserves them. It's a terrifying and sad twist on immortal/mortal love, where the taboo is the grotesque extension of life and the refusal to let go. It's deeply unsettling and not a romance in any traditional sense.

What about the 'Twilight' fanfic turned original phenomenon, 'Fifty Shades of Grey'? Kidding! That's a different kind of forbidden. But seriously, the ripple effect of 'Twilight' created a whole market for this specific tension.

A forbidden love between a werewolf and a human: A werewolf who falls in love with a human, and the relationship is deemed forbidden by their respective communities. They must navigate the challenges of their different worlds and the opposition they face from their families and friends.
Selina loved Alpha Alaric with everything she had. She even agreed to marry him, knowing full well that his heart still belonged to Lyra, the woman lying unconscious in a coma. All she wanted was to be acknowledged as his Luna, so she accepted the one condition he set: to wake Lyra using the power that flowed within her.
And she did.
But what waited for her wasn’t love. It was betrayal in its cruelest form. The child she carried was murdered, and her world shattered into pieces.
Out of the wreckage came Raven. Alpha of the Bloodhowl Pack and Alaric’s cousin. He knew Selina was destined for someone else. He knew that loving her was forbidden. Yet the more he fought it, the stronger his need grew to protect her... and make her his.
Now Selina is trapped between two Alphas: one who destroyed her life, and one she was never meant to love.
The Alpha’s Forbidden Love is a story of betrayal, desire, and a forbidden bond that dares to defy fate itself.

“I’m leaving,”
“Do you really think you can run away again and I’ll let you?” Kal asked towering over her, and staring down at her with a dark look on his face with fiery red eyes that held more expressions than he could express.
“You’re a vampire and I’m a werewolf. In what world can we be friends,” She yelled at him, pushing lightly against him wanting to leave even faster than before only to feel him press his body even closer to hers as he held her against the tree********

But the Cursed Alpha—whose mates all die within a year—might be her salvation or her doom. Can their forbidden love break a generations-old curse, or will Maya become another casualty of the Bloodmoon legacy?
My go-to is always 'Vampire Academy'. The Rose-Dimitri romance is the most 'forbidden' I've ever read in YA paranormal. It's not just about what they are, but about their roles. She's a student, he's her mentor and guardian. Their relationship could ruin his career, her training, and get them both ostracized. The vampire element adds a layer of danger—his strength, her mortality—but the true taboo is their professional and ethical boundary.
Later, when Dimitri is turned Strigoi, their love becomes literally forbidden by nature—he's now an undead monster she's trained to kill. The series spends entire books on that impossible barrier. It's masterfully painful. Werewolves aren't a factor, but if you want the feeling of love that breaks every rule in the book, this series delivers way more consistently than a simple species rivalry.
For a lighthearted, comedic take on the trope, 'The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches' by Sangu Mandanna is wonderful. Magic is secret, and witches must live apart to stay safe. The romance between Mika, a witch, and Jamie, the stern librarian of a household of magical children, is forbidden by the foundational rules of witch society—don't gather, don't reveal magic, don't settle down.
The 'forbidden' element here is cozy and warm, more about breaking free from self-imposed isolation and fear than defying a villain. It’s about choosing connection and family against the cautious guidelines meant to protect you. It proves the trope can work in a low-stakes, heartwarming context just as well as in a high-stakes apocalyptic one.
