About this ebook

Immerse yourself in the first two novels of the Banished Saga, where romance, honor, a duty to family, and a desire to live a fulfilled life play out against the backdrop of turn-of the century Boston and Montana. NO cliffhanger when read together.

BANISHED LOVE (Banished Saga, Book One)

I’m suffocating under the weight of others’ expectations. If I have to sit through one more afternoon tea, listening to my simpering stepmother extoll the benefits of traditional roles for women, I fear I’ll scream, “The world is changing. It’s 1900!”

I want more from life than she can imagine.

If she knew of my interest in Gabriel, she’d have a fit of the vapors. She’d bemoan his humble beginnings and lack of wealth rather than recognize his integrity or his loyalty to his brothers. If she saw how he stares at me, as though I’m a puzzle he’s trying to solve, she’d lock me in my room. He fascinates me, as no one has since that awful day.

How can we surmount society’s prejudices and allow our love to grow?

RECLAIMED LOVE (Banished Saga, Book Two)

Committed…

To living a life she desires with the man she loves, Clarissa Sullivan continues to teach poor, immigrant children and to agitate for the vote for women as she awaits Gabriel’s return to Boston. Will her stepmother leave her in peace or is her life about to change again in unforeseen ways?

Convinced….

Clarissa is the woman he now wants to marry, Cameron Wright renews his pursuit of her. Charming, wealthy and well-bred, he is perceived as the ideal gentleman for a blacksmith’s daughter. With Gabriel far from Boston and his return uncertain, why should Clarissa continue to reject Cameron?

Devastated…

After his banishment from Boston, Gabriel McLeod forges a new life in a remarkable city. Will the memories of the love he shared with Clarissa sustain him? 

Will Clarissa overcome deceit and treachery and reclaim her love?

Ratings and reviews

it's interesting but I wouldn't call this a romance novel. You might be fooled by the synopsis. Book 1 is a story about a suffragette fighting against the views of her family and friends. The romance is a subplot. You won't see a lot of interaction between the two. You'll see more of the adventures of Rissa than a forbidden love.

Book 1 is better than book 2, due to family interactions in Boston being more interesting. The lack of explanations irks me to no end and causes much unnecessary hardships to the characters.

Love this book and all its characters. Really enjoying the strength and integrity of Gabriel and Clarissa. Another gift from this book is the new awareness of the bread Provitica! Looked it up, found a great recipe, yum! Thank you!💜
