Forbidden Ways by Karen Ann Hopkins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Category: Adult
Genre: Romance
Content: A couple of steamy scenes, one involving sex, that are moderately descriptive.
 
CJ West is an aspiring artist, nursing a broken heart. Still recovering from a brutal attack that nearly killed her, she needed to get away. The quaint, tranquil countryside seemed like the perfect place to start over.

Joshua Miller is a widower, running a busy farm, and raising three children with help from his grandmother. He came to Blood Rock to escape the ghosts of his past that still haunt him.

When CJ rents a cottage from Joshua, sparks fly, and their lives will never be the same again. Because a relationship between the two is strictly forbidden. He’s Amish and she’s an outsider. Even so, their passion for each other is intense and all-consuming. But how can they possibly be together?

I blazed right through this book. I was up until 2 am reading it! I couldn't help it, the forbidden love thing just got me. I already read how C. J. and Joshua met in the Serenity's Plain Secrets series, and I was really hoping for more. This book did not disappoint! I like C. J. a lot, even better than Serenity, and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between her and Joshua developed in this book. The way this book ended left me really wanting to read more. Will C. J. become Amish or will Joshua go English? I can't wait to find out! My only complaint is that like the other series this one has some typos, like missing words.

P.S. I don't think I will be able to continue this series if C. J. goes Amish.
