Dare To Follow : Forbidden Love

by Paulette D. Marshall

One look was all it took.
Hawkins knew he had to have her. April felt the same—yet their attraction was forbidden.

In a town divided by old wounds and unspoken rules, their feelings are not only unwelcome… they’re dangerous. Drawn together by a bond neither can deny, Hawkins and April must navigate loyalty, family expectations, and a growing threat that puts everything they love at risk.

When faith is tested and fear presses in, choosing the heart may come at a cost neither is prepared to pay.

A tender Christian romance about forbidden love, hidden truths, and trusting God when the path forward is anything but clear.

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The intensity of the attraction/love between April and Hawkins is palpable. Family feuds and misconceptions can make for a difficult and dangerous future. Thankfully, our couple are strong willed and never say 'never'. With God's leading there are bound to be positive actions in this story, even with all the danger they are facing. An action-packed tale with gasping moments.

Dare to Follow will lead you to the path that God intended. Hawkins has always loved April, but is forbidden due to a long lasting feud. April also has loved Hawkins, but can't go against her family, until she can. Love and faith is more important to them both now, since they almost lost it. Beautiful story.
