Forbidden by Elizabeth Lowell (1993~HardcoverDJ~Mint)

Description: This is the second in Lowell's medieval trilogy set in the time of King Henry after the first crusade when knights are returning to England for their rewards. The 3 in the series are Untamed, Forbidden and Enchanted. I gave the first one 5 stars as well and this one is equally enthralling. This is the story of a legend and a girl named Amber who is one of the Learned ones and has the gift of discerning truth from falsehood. But anyone's touch causes her pain and to discern truth she must touch. The legend says that a nameless man will come to her in shades of darkness and she may claim him heart, body and soul...ah but there is the possibility of death there, too. When Amber meets the warrior whose memory was taken from him, she is instantly his as she can touch him with only pleasure as the result. They cannot keep their hands off each other and even as Amber suspects that the warrior is Duncan the Scots Hammer--and her enemy--she cannot help but give him her heart and her body. Duncan, as she calls him, for it means "the dark warrior", struggles with a returning memory all the while he is becoming a part of Amber's world. It's a heart wrenching romance well done by Lowell. And she does a great job of making the unlikely seem plausible. It's well written, historically well placed and the characters rich in development. I do recommend reading the books in order, however, as it's really one long story and well worth the read!
