Forbidden Hunger

Young Sarah Bradford of Salem Village has made a big mistake - she’s danced with the Devil and given place to her unholy desires. Now, all she can think of is the pleasure that slumbers and awakens in her body.

Dr. Thomas Thorne is a sensual man trapped in Puritan times, and he loves Sarah. He’s loved her since he first saw her three years ago. He feels her uncertainty about the awakening of her body and believes that he can help. Only he can save her from the foul men that pursue her and the rituals they force her to participate in.

Forbidden Hunger tells of the superstitions of the Puritan lifestyle with the evil that lurks in the hearts of men. The scenes are realistic and sparse; the contrast between the prim and proper lifestyle of that day and the lust raging behind closed doors creates a fine tension that really makes this book. Shawna Moore uses great skill and a fine hand in tuning up the danger and suspense as a sub-plot here, and this book drew me right in. Forbidden Hunger is a wonderful and riveting effort by Shawna Moore.
