Forbidden by Kitty Thomas re-releasing August 4, 2021

 5 stars



The thing I am really loving about this series is the fallibility of the characters. In this story, the person who you think is the antagonist ends up stealing your heart and you want to wrap them in cotton and hold them tight. The ‘bad guy’ from the previous book in the series is our main character in this one. He isn’t good by any means, but you completely understand him and his motivations, both then, and now. The connection that makes these two mates, neither understands, but they know it is there. There is resistance, there is separation, there is some anger too, on both their parts at different times. In the end, that connection keeps them together, not because of some mystical reason, but because they can’t be without the other. The fact that the world is changing as they know it all around them isn’t their concern, they are hyper-focused on each other. There was a sneaky little twist there at the end, and that was simply awesome, and the icing on the cake!
