The story demonstrated how love has the power to breathe life into a broken and tortured soul. Shaia’s determination to escape from the shackles of tradition to pursue love was admirable. No obstacle was too big to overcome in the search for her fated mate. Her bravery was to be applauded as it could not be easy to break away from a life she lived for 4000 years to enter into the unknown.
This installment took me on an emotional journey. The pain, heartbreak, fears and struggles the couple faced on their journey towards each other leapt from the pages. I felt every hurt, disappointment and uncertainties they experienced. My heart hurt for them both, but it wept more for Fuery. Thankfully, he had his friend Hartt, who helped him in his struggles.
As usual I enjoyed the world Ms Heaton created although I did not like the treatment Shaia received while living with her parents. The fight scenes were intense, and I was on the edge of my seat through it all. If you are a reader who loves to have the intimate scenes early into the story, then you will be disappointed. It took place near to the end of the story which given the circumstances was appropriate. The story wrapped up nicely and I am eager to see whose story will be next.
Conclusion/Recommendation
Unchained by a Forbidden Love is an emotional gripping story, which depicts the strength of friendship and a love, which survived 40 centuries.

Another author that I know has been around forever but I’ve yet to try. Maybe this will be the year I finally do. 😉 Wonderful review!
I’ve read a couple of her books and like them. I think I still have one other book on my Kindle I need to read. Thanks for the great review, this sounds great.
I love the pathos you are describing in this one for this pair of hurting lovers. I’m cheering them on just from reading your review. 🙂
