Book Review: “A Love Forbidden” By Kathleen Morgan

Kathleen Morgan in her new book, “A Love Forbidden” Book Two in the Heart Of The Rockies series published by Revell takes us to the Colorado Rockies in 1879.

From the Back Cover: They’re from two different worlds. Can love cross the divide?

Moved by a compassionate heart and the desire for adventure, twenty-year-old Shiloh Wainwright impulsively accepts a teaching position at the White River Indian Agency in northwestern Colorado. Eager to use her skills to help improve the lives of Ute Indian children, she looks forward to a fulfilling, independent life on the Colorado frontier.

But her new job isn’t what she imagined it would be, and Shiloh soon finds herself caught in the cross fire between the Utes, their unyielding Indian agent, and a demanding US government. Her unexpected encounter with a half-Ute childhood friend, Jesse Blackwater, only complicates matters as they battle their growing feelings for each other amidst spiraling tensions that threaten to explode into a catastrophic uprising. Set amongst the wilds of the Colorado Rockies in 1879, this tale from bestselling and award-winning author Kathleen Morgan explores the transformational power of forgiveness, compassion, and God’s healing love with artistry and authenticity.

A white woman who is a teacher and a half-breed Indian try t build a relationship in a time when the whites and the Indians are not getting along. Once again Ms. Morgan examines a complicated relationship in ”A Love Forbidden”. For this relationship to grow and survive only God can make it happen. ”A Love Forbidden” is more than just a love story it is a story of history and it is a thriller as we do not know who will survive in the events leading up to the Meeker Massacre. Ms. Morgan does an outstanding job of taking us back in time and developing the prejudice and feelings of that time. Ms. Morgan is an excellent writer and makes all her characters believable and you care deeply for them as she deftly unfolds the plot before us. This is a nice romance with great themes. I am looking forward to the next book.
