Romance Paranormal

Jule Casale has a picture she has been trying to discover information about. Her profession is art history and this particular picture has been very difficult to find out anything about. It is recommended that she meet with Rom Montgomery to find out more information about the painting. She has a family with a dangerous history and they have had problems with Rom but she chooses to meet him anyway. When Rom meets the persistent Jule Casale and discovers she has another picture like the one he keeps in his room, he becomes driven to find out if there are more. He knows who the artist is that painted them. Lawrence painted them after Rom left 600 years ago. Rom believes they may hold the clues he needs to finally die and rest beside his beloved as he tried to 600 years ago. He can't explain that he is 600 years old to Jule so he goes on his own in pursuit of the pictures. Jule not only wants to find these pictures but she has even more serious problems. She has been basically sold into marriage by her father to a family friend. She refuses to marry this man and chases after Rom believing he is trying to steal her discovery. He betrothed won't let her leave and also chases after her to Verona, Italy. Causing a series of dangerous and deadly events leading up to an ending 600 years in the making. FORBIDDEN KISS is a twist on a very old story. When I realized what the author was doing I was at first apprehensive, but I really enjoyed the way FORBIDDEN KISS is written. You have action, immortals, reincarnation, family feuds that last centuries and everlasting love. Shannon Leigh puts a lovely twist on one of the most famous and sad love stories of all time. FORBIDDEN KISS is the love story that has waited 600 years to be told.

SUMMARY

Jule Casale is the perfect daughter. Obedient. Trustworthy. Loyal. With her high profile Italian family, her public image must be impeccable. And now to gain the respect and position she's desired in the academic world, she hopes to discover the unknown artist behind a masterpiece of Renaissance art. Rom Montgomery seeks the unobtainable: forgiveness. Those who could grant him relief are dead. Instead, he wanders across continents and through time searching for salvation and the means to right an ancient wrong. But when Jule comes knocking on his door, it's the closest he's ever come to finally finding redemption. The closer Rom draws to correcting his past mistakes, the more his secrets threaten to destroy the woman who might hold the key to his future.
