Product Description

--Rendezvous

"A magical tale of all-consuming love...It will cause your heart to ache." --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


Product Description

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 a touch. Their romance is legend in a time of war. But when Duncan's memory returns, 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 . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars AN ATTRACIVE, HIGHLY LISTENABLE NARRATION, Sep 23 2008
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forbidden (Audio CD)
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 reading by Sarah Scott. For this listener, hers is a new narrating voice, and appropriate for this title. Scott has a young voice with an attractive huskiness. As our heroine is not supposed to be of high birth, this reader is wise enough to avoid affectations in speech, and comes across clearly leaving an impression of both innocence and strength.

If you favor medieval romance with a tad of fantasy Forbidden is for you. Amber is a young woman whose birth prophecy included a marvelous love but a love that would surely be followed by death. She is both perplexed and surprised when a wounded warrior is brought to her, after all she is quite alone in the world having "no more kin than the wild autumn wind."

Their attraction is immediate and their passion unrestrained. However, when the warrior recovers his memory he sees Amber as his enemy. Yet she is the one who healed and loved him, will there truly be death?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Magical Medieval Romance!, Oct 23 2003
By Jana L. Perskie "ceruleana" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forbidden Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Elizabeth Lowell is frequently asked why she departed from the western and contemporary romance genres, which have been so successful for her, to write the medieval trilogy "Untamed,"
"Forbidden" and "Enchanted." She and her husband are both of Scots descent. On one of their visits to Scotland they had extra time to explore off the beaten path and, by chance, discovered the ancient ruins of a castle constructed in the 12th century. The castle had once belonged to her husband's clan, the Maxwells. Ms. Lowell and her husband then traveled to a nearby town that had a museum devoted to the Maxwells and discovered that her family clan, the Charteris, and her husband's, the Maxwell's, were linked through marriage for over nine hundred years. When Ms. Lowell found out about this age-old link between herself and her spouse, she decided to write a series based on medieval warriors and the women they loved.

"Forbidden" is the story of Amber The Untouched, a beautiful young woman who is Learned in the healing arts and who has the ability to discern truth from falsehood through touch. Unfortunately Amber does not touch many people because touching causes her intense pain. It has been foretold that when she falls in love with a man she will be able, for the first time, to touch and be touched. A prophesy attended Amber's birth, "A man with no name may you claim, heart and body and soul. Then rich life might grow, but death will surely flow. In shades of darkness he will come to you. If you touch him you will know life that might or death that will. Be therefore as sunlight, hidden in amber, untouched by man, not touching. Forbidden."

A wounded warrior is found, unconscious, inside a sacred ring of stones. Amber heals him and is able to touch him and feel only great pleasure. When the man awakens he does not remember his past. The two are drawn together with an unbelievable intensity, but hanging over their heads, dooming their growing love, is the prophecy. The reality of their present also intrudes and threatens them - a reality of continuous war in their land, the Disputed Land bordering England and Scotland. When this great warrior remembers his past will he denounce the woman he loves as his enemy? Will he accuse her of betrayal and fulfill the dark prophesy?

Elizabeth Lowell has written a magical tale of a love foretold. I am not a big fan of medieval romance, but I am a big Elizabeth Lowell fan - which is why I read this novel. I was enchanted by the magic lore of the Learned people included here, as well as the ring of sacred stones and the legend of the rowan tree that can be seen in bloom only by true lovers. This is one of Ms. Lowell's most sensuous stories and most entertaining reads.
