"Forbidden Passion," is an adult paper back book with plenty of spice and also a good account of the American Civil War. The southern Lady, Elizabeth "Liz" Fleming dosen't hold back on her details which brings the book to life. It is not vulgar but I the publisher would rate it XXX. There is spying, battles, and a southern Confederate Officer in the mix with two red heads that ae strong pro unionest. There is affairs and explicit sex balanced between the pages of the war. This book is not for everyone, but if you love romance in the setting of the Civil WAR ERA YOU WILL LOVE IT. This book has 260 pages that will hold your attention and may excite your intermost feelings as you journey with Alex, Hannah, and Ginger during the great American Civil War. Lots of Civil War era pictures.
