Forbidden by Kimberley Griffiths Little
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Forbidden by Kimberley Griffiths Little was a book I wasn’t sure of what to expect going into it. The historical aspect is really what grabbed my attention and then ultimately the idea that this story covered a time and location that isn’t the norm, I was definitely intrigued.
This one started out a bit slow for me but in the end, I have to say that I really did enjoy it. The characters and the story itself were interesting and I found myself eventually getting to a point where I was quickly turning the pages to see what was going to happen next.
The main character is Jayden and we quickly find out she has been betrothed to Horeb, the son of their tribe’s leader. We also find out that Horeb isn’t a great guy…Jayden has mixed feelings about him and is at the point where she is questioning whether she can go through with the union. At the same time, her tribe is getting ready to move through the desert and after most of the tribe has packed up and headed out, Jayden’s mom goes into labor. Unfortunately things don’t go as planned and take a turn for the worse. As Jayden’s family is mourning, a stranger crosses paths with Jayden and from that point on, her life takes a different turn.
I thought Griffiths Little did a great job of developing the characters in this story. Jayden, while young, was strong, loyal, and protective of her family. At the same time, it was clear her sister was focused mostly on what was important to her and to be honest, she came across as pretty selfish. Kadesh is still a bit of a mystery to me and although I liked him, I wanted to know more about him. He has some secrets and I don’t think he was completely upfront about his family. With that said, he does love Jayden and is willing to do whatever he can to protect her and I loved that about him.
Overall this was an interesting story and I am looking forward to see where the next installment of the series goes. The end was a bit open-ended and I’m curious to see where it leads. If you are looking for a story that is a bit unique, has plenty of action, and some kissing, definitely check this one out.
Thank you to HarperCollins & Edelweiss for the review copy.
