Summary

The only clue to Nicodemus' past is the ruby crucifix found in his swaddling clothes when he was abandoned at a monastery. The boy grows up to become a fierce Templar who fights for God, but the gruesome carnage of battle weighs heavily upon his conscience. His faith is further tested by Gweneth, the woman who haunts his thoughts and stirs forbidden desires. 

Set in 12th-century England, Forbidden is a compelling tale of sibling rivalry, greed, deception, and a knight's honor.

Medieval thriller

This type of story is not my usual go to, but once I discovered this author I just devour all her audio books, they all seem to work so well.

I learned a lot but also get so involved in the story towards the end I was on the edge of my seat trying to work out what was going to happen.

The narration really worked - there were some sinister elements there. I do remember I didnt get one voice but now I cant remember so it cant be that important.

Medieval romance and betrayal

Medieval based books were somewhat of a first for me. I expected historical events described in dry detail but was pleased to find that it is a personal story of both the young and the elite which managed to convey a lot of mixed emotions. To me it is always interesting to learn how people of that time may have thought.
I would have liked a writers epilog perhaps regarding the events and research that went into this novel for clarity on the who's who and attitudes of that time. Yes, I want more.

Medieval

I enjoyed Kyle James Higgins as a narrator.

If you enjoy Medieval stories set in England , take your time and listen.

The reviews are mixed , but I enjoyed this book. We have drama, and very well written characters.
