Palm trees framing the ocean

Forbidden
By: Lora Holland

A non-traditional Victorian novel in which a charming but unorthodox heroine challenges much of societies beliefs including the deportment and wardrobe of young ladies, the treatment of the local natives on their island, and the restrictions against a guardian marrying his very young ward. Full of action and pathos, the reader will remain intrigued.

Review: Just because something is forbidden doesn't make it wrong. This book is right in so many ways!

Victoria had singled out Captain Jeffries as the man she wanted to marry when she was a young girl crossing the ocean with her family to their Barbados plantation. As the years continue with the Captain’s constant visits to their home when he is in port, she becomes certain that he is her one true love and no other man will do. When her father dies, the Captain becomes her guardian and while he promises her that she may choose her husband, due to his honor, that man cannot be him, for he is her guardian. In an attempt to learn the art of seduction to change his mind, matters go terribly awry, forcing Vic to escape into the jungle just as the natives decide to rid the island of the English once and for all.
