Forbidden

De: Beverly Jenkins

Narrado por: Kim Staunton

USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins returns with the first book in a breathtaking new series set in the Old West

Rhine Fontaine is building the successful life he's always dreamed of—one that depends upon him passing for White. But for the first time in years, he wishes he could step out from behind the façade. The reason: Eddy Carmichael, the young woman he rescued in the desert. Outspoken, defiant, and beautiful, Eddy tempts Rhine in ways that could cost him everything . . . and the price seems worth paying.

Eddy owes her life to Rhine, but she won't risk her heart for him. As soon as she's saved enough money from her cooking, she'll leave this Nevada town and move to California. No matter how handsome he is, no matter how fiery the heat between them, Rhine will never be hers. Giving in for just one night might quench this longing. Or it might ignite an affair as reckless and irresistible as it is forbidden . . .

Typical Jenkins' Historical Romance

In the tradition of her many historical romances, Forbidden incorporates elements of Black history with a strong woman and a handsome, resourceful man. Some of the characters referenced are introduced in some of Jenkins' earlier novels. The story and ending are predictable, yet satisfying.

Narrator like none other

The depth and inflections in Kim’s voice we’re downright enjoyable. Her voice along with the crafty, vivid writings of Beverly transformed my imaginations to that of an bystander in this love story. The story was just what the doctor ordered.

Great story!
