Editorial Review:

Product Description:

A medieval age of passion and conquest -- a tumultous era of warriors and ladies...and noble hearts inflamedby desireand duty -- is brought to a sumptuous life through the storytelling mastery of Elizabeth Lowell, the New York Times bestselling creator of incomparable romantic adventure.

A Destiny Foreseen

They call her "Amber the Untouched" throughout the disputed lands -- a chaste, golden-haired beauty who fears the remarkable love that was prophesied at her birth...and the death that must inevitably follow. Now Duncan has come to her in darkness, as was foretold -- a wounded warrior with no memory, seared by passion's fire and irresistibly drawn to the innocent enchantress who divines truth with touch.

Their romance is legend in a time of war. But when Duncan's memory returnes, he sees Amber as his enemy. Still, he cannot forsake the lover who healed his body and heart. And he will defy to the death the dread forces that have proclaimed their love...

- AN ATTRACTIVE, HIGHLY LISTENABLE NARRATION
Elizabeth Lowell writes with a fast, fiery pen. She's equally at home creating page-turners in a contemporary setting or taking us back in time. One advantage in writing historical novels is that their appeal is more lasting than a story taking place today. Contemporary tales are prone to easily becoming dated by the mention of anything from a car to the gun used in a robbery.

Although released in 1993 Forbidden is as fresh now as it was then, especially when given a stunning ... Read More

- If you LOVE authentic medieval writing....
It's lacking just a LITTLE here in "Forbidden," and wasn't quite as breath-taking as Lowell's first book "Untamed." I almost felt as though Lowell had difficulty getting inspired for the 1st few chapters. The details, descriptive language, and conversation between the characters just wasn't quite the quality of "Untamed." By conversation, I mean that the characters were speaking too modern for the time era. For example, here's a quote from the book:
"I don't know" he said flatly. "But I know that ... Read More

- The story drags too much
Several times I found myself speed reading to get through it faster. I did not care for the plot which was about a man with amnesia, who falls in love, hates her after he regains his memory, but returns to her in the end. Maybe this plot would be ok if done by another author, but it was not enjoyable the way it was done here. I also found the ending too abrupt. I would have preferred knowing what their life was like after they got together and how the alliances among Dominic, Erik and other warlords worked ... Read More

- Tear Jerker
Amber the Untouched is a Learned (sorceress with some Druidic magic) woman. Her talents are similiar to a touch empath. When she touches a person she feels and sees their memories, which is often cripplingly painful for her. As a result she doesn't let anyone touch her and she earns the nickname of Amber the Untouched. At her birth was a prophecy predicting that she would one day lose her body, heart, and soul to a man who would bring her only death. The day comes when an injured man is brought to her with no memory. ... Read More

- Cheesy...can't find a better word
I was dissapointed by this book...OK...let me start with the good aspects: 1. The storyline is original and creative, 2. the last 1/3 of the book when the author zooms into the characters' dillemas and true demons tearing them apart felt so real and intense it finally made my heart beat fast 3. She did not settle for a cliche ending which pleased me BUT ...BUT...BUT most of the book is pure and simple cheesy....no better word to describe it...maybe gooey, the dialogues between Amber and Duncan on the first 2/3 of the ...
