Not a happy tale,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forbidden Love (Paperback)
I have enjoyed other works by Ms. Robards (Walking after Midnight, Paradise County, One Summer, Tiger's Eye...) but this one left me really torn. The first half gets 4 stars - I could even stomach the adultery, which usually turns me right off, because Justin so obviously loves Megan (and so obviously despises his wife and vice versa) that it overwhelms his good sense. But the second half gets no stars - not a single one. I only finished it to see how Robards could possibly make a happy ending for these two, because Justin certainly no longer deserves one. He becomes insanely jealous and brutal, and why Robards saw it necessary to compound all of Megan's anguish with yet another tragedy (I don't want to give it away) was too much for me. The story quickly went from romantic to horrifying, but of course it was all wrapped up in a Happily Ever After bow in the last few pages. It just rang so false to me - Robards had given this couple too many obstacles to overcome them all so easily. I love a good ending, and am willing to suspend my disbelief to a great degree to get one, but I just don't think this pair should have made it.

Gay!,
By Coogey "Coogey" (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forbidden Love (Paperback)
I've read twenty novels of Karen Robards, needless to say she is my favourite author. Even though I read this book more than four times, it was not my favourite. The heroine was great, yet I thought Justin's character gay! No matter how much was written about his muscles, he didn't do it for me. Still, it was a great romantic story and the ending was fitting and happy (even if the hero was gay!)I still love you're writing style Karen!

A Keeper!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forbidden Love (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite novels. I read it years ago when it was first published and would never dream of parting with it. It has everything you could want in a Romance: love, passion, obsession, jealousy, heartbreak, and ultimately a fairytale ending.
