Samuel Wilkom is a young gay Amish man who recently had his first sexual experience with James Semerad, a shunned, runaway Amish young man who returned to his hometown of Lofstad for a short time. While many people in Lofstad came to embrace its prodigal son and learned to soften their hard Amish hearts towards those like James who followed a different path to God, not everyone in that close-knit Amish community agreed with the change in attitudes. In response to the new, more open attitudes in Lofstad, the Wilkom family chose to relocate to another, even more conservative Amish community----and they took young Samuel with them. Not only that, they plan to force Samuel into an arranged marriage with Miriam Lutz, a young unmarried girl from their new town of Rhinestad, as part of a land-sharing deal. Samuel is conflicted----on the one hand, he wants to honor his parents and his Amish heritage. But on the other, he wants to honor his true desires and feelings. And he just might have a chance with Daniel, a young man from Rhinestad who seems to return Samuel's forbidden love. But are Daniel and Samuel willing to risk God's wrath and the hatred of their fellow Amish brethren if they pursue their forbidden passions? In this breathtaking sequel to the groundbreaking The Shunned, you'll find erotic desire and sweeping romance set in the fascinating world of Amish life!

I actually liked this better than the previous book in this series, The Shunned. I think that's mostly due to the fact that one of the lead characters (not the guy who appeared briefly in the previous book) was far more interesting than any other character in either book. Again, the underworld element is absolutely laughable, but overall, The Forbidden is not a bad way to kill some time.Product details

The Forbidden Jay E Hughes 9781607778806 Books Reviews
The setting of the novel was promising which is what drew me to it but plot turn out to be so wholly unbelievable, the characters one-dimensional and the language beyond irritating. "Hardscrabble" is the type of word you use once per novel to describe something. Not seventeen times. And catching the nuances of a person's eye color at a distance while traveling - at night. Are you kidding me? Also, there's a sex scene early in the book which I think is safe to say has never even had a passing acquaintance to anything happening in the real world.
I'm probably being too harsh because the truth is this could have been a passable novel with some minor changes and corrections. Tidy up the language, find a more realistic way for the lovers to get together and don't disregard physics. In the end the faults I encountered were too egregious for me to enjoy the book.
The Forbidden is the sequel to The Shunned, and like that, it re-uses some of the themes from the previous book, like the young naïve Amish, gay and totally alone in his community, and the contraposition with the big bad world outside and the apparently safety of the Amish community.
Like in The Shunned, the Amish community is not as pure as they pretend to be, and avarice and selfish motives drive the one who should be all for the community, the elder. Samuel, the young naïve 18 years old guy actually had a little role in The Shunned, he was the young Amish with whom James shares loneliness and desires in a barn. But as Samuel says of himself, he has not the same strength, or courage, or recklessness of James, and so when his father decides that the "liberal" community where they were living was not strict enough for his family, they moved to an even more traditionalist one. Problem is that, in the new community, there are only 2 young women in marriage age, and one possible candidate.
Now Daniel is not exactly a good match, he has a widow mother and three spinster sisters, but a man is alwas a man... problem is that Daniel has no interest in women, and as soon as he lays his eyes on Samuel, he recognizes a soul mate. From the glance to the same situation as above in a barn (only a different barn) the step is short. But there is a big difference from The Shunned and The Forbidden where James, even if an unlikely hero, had at least a strong core that allowed him to leave the community after his Rumspringa, and he was literally forced to come back in the community, nor Daniel or Samuel are stong characters, they are even less heroic than James. I think they found in each other not only a soul mate since they are both gay, but also a similar attitude, same fears and same hopes. One without the other would have probably remained in the hide, and unhappy, for all his life, together they have a small chance of happiness.
There is again, as before, a sub-plot involving, this time, drugs and mob-dealers. Again the evil insinuated in the Community and the less liable to suspicion is the culprit. But on the contrary of The Shunned, where, if I remember well, James' mother tried at least to help her son, here almost al the female characters are negative, spineless or plainly selfish. There is also few family feeling, that probably a conseguence of the above situation, and so sincerely, I did find quite difficult to understand why Daniel stands so long (he is 28 years old), if not for what I said above, without someone to support him in his decision, he would have never been able to be free.
Make sure to read "The Shunned" which is the book preceding this one's story. I started it last night and will finish today.
I knew this was going to be a gay romance story, but not with so much violence and graphic sex act descriptions.
