Forbidden

Man these books pack a punch and this one more than the last. I enjoyed the fated mates aspect here and Amber’s story and prophecy. Duncan without a memory was much better than with one, and I hated that there was no abject begging for forgiveness at what he put Amber through; it was rough to read. Considering how much these men hate women, it’s a wonder to see the HEAs; I guess this is what happens from books written in the early 90s.

I certainly enjoyed Forbidden, the second book in a medieval trilogy. I enjoyed the voice of Amber, the untouched, who's one of the "learned". Touching another was impossible for her,since it brought her intense pain, until a wounded "Dark Warrior" enters her life. Duncan, has no memory of his prior life and can not only touch her but he completes her. However, Amber knows that if Duncan's memory returns, he may hate her..... and then there's the prophecy that if she gives herself completely, body, mind and soul, that it may mean her death.
I don't want to give away the story but I certainly enjoyed the characters, the story line and certainly the romance.

The second of a trilogy. My favorite is the third: Enchanted. This one I could barely make myself get through. The heroine is spineless and the hero is incredibly nasty to her for the vast majority of the book. It's truly shocking how badly he treats her and how she just takes it. It's a testament to how good the other two books are that I even got to the final page of this book. The only reason to read this book is to understand the plot points for the third book.

Once again, Elizabeth Lowell didn't disappoint. I hadn't read any of her historical romance stories before. I like them, although not as much as her jewel (modern day) ones. This one has a bit of the mystical in it (I guess that's what to call it). It wasn't too much for me, but might be a turn off to some.Good characters and nice romance.

Spiritual- mythical female meets injured warrior, romance blooms then is tested as warrior regains strength and changes. I enjoy romances with some strife in them, otherwise I'm bored.

Like the rest of this series, this book is another one of those romances in which the hero is astonishingly unlikable and the heroine gives women a bad name. I wouldn't recommend reading of the books from this series.

This one will either be a heart wrencher for you or a wall banger.
