Review: Romance and suspense
Rating: 5 out of 5

I feel that the title wasn't very appropriate as I expected more magic in the book besides just random mentions of it and the fact that it's as the title says, forbidden.I always enjoy a book that maintains a balance between romanticism and action.  There was a lot of suspense and although there were a few details here and there to hint at where the book was going there was still enough unknowns and drama to keep me interested.  It doesn't have as much action scenes per se but they were not needed.  There was just enough romance to make me squirm in a couple of pages without dominating the story or being trashy.I look forward to learning more about the quest to return to Earth, the plight of the Givers and the issue with the quartz crystals.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a review.
