Review: Forbidden Love by Shirley Martin
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 18, 2012
This well-written book held my attention from beginning to the end. The author has done an excellent job of portraying a heart-rending internal conflict--Lisa and Owen's secret love for each other--with a gripping external conflict, the Iron and Steel Workers strike in 1892 in Pittsburgh.  The author weaves together the inner and outer story seamlessly, resulting in an entertaining and tension-filled novel. It's obvious, too, that the author, Shirley Martin, has done an impeccable job with her research, which makes this historical romance a "must read."  I'm highly recommending it and giving it a 5-star rating.
