Suddenly Forbidden by Ella Fields

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Ella Fields is a name synonymous with romance. And I’m talking all encompassing, soul destroying, gut wrenching, romance. It’s the kind which many writers aim to create, but for whatever reason, can’t execute.

Fields’s latest release, Suddenly Forbidden, is deceptive in its complexity. It begins with a lingering look, builds to a resounding crescendo, and refuses to let go until the reader’s heart is either bursting or shattered.

To be honest, this book is so freaking gorgeous, I don’t think I can do it justice in a review. I mean, how can I give words to a love born from the stars and moon? How can I describe the connection between two souls destined to interlace? And how can I explain the utter devastation when life has other plans?

I can’t.

But I can assure you that this novel, this piece of absolute perfection, is worth every gasp, every sigh, every tear.

I’m making it sound sappy, aren’t I? It’s not. For the record, I’m not a fan of sweet romance. I like my novels filthy, with a healthy side helping of sweet lord, that was hot. I guess this is why I’m so dazzled by Suddenly Forbidden—it balances heat and heart so effortlessly. The reader doesn’t realise how immersed they’ve become in the story until tears dampen cheeks and butterflies explode in stomachs. Not many authors can do this. Not many authors can suspend disbelief to the extent where you swear the romantic connection between the main characters is real because it feels real.

Ella Fields can.

Which is why you must, you simply must read Suddenly Forbidden. And when your heart is pounding in time with Daisy and Quinn's, you’ll know exactly what I mean.
