Forbidden Love


I'm on Books Binge since yesterday if anyone wants to see my answers to an interview~~ http://thebookbinge.blogspot.com/2008/05/guest-author-terry-spear.html


What do you think of forbidden love? That's the title of one of my vampire romances, but it pertains to a form of story I enjoy writing--a forbidden love between two people. Think: Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story. Even Heart of the Wolf is about forbidden love as Devlyn isn't permitted to mate Bella, the alpha male's choice of mate. In Winning the Highlander's Heart, Lady Anice must marry King Henry's choice of groom, a Norman, when she falls in love with the Highlander, Laird Malcolm MacNeill.

What makes forbidden love so much fun to read?

It's the deep interpersonal conflict for me--the love of two people that cannot be stopped no matter the rules in their society. It's the love that bridges two people from different worlds, different ideologies, backgrounds, beliefs. Or some other element that threatens to keep them apart becuase of family feuds or other dastardly external conflict.But I want a happily ever after! Star crossed lovers are not my idea of a fun read!

What are some of your favorite stories of forbidden love?
