Description
High school dropout Honey Belle Garrett has never thought of herself as poor white trash--just poor. In the summer of 1964, her world changes forever when sinfully sexy Tripp Hartwell III offers her a ride in his convertible. Then, unbeknownst to Tripp, dire threats from his father force Honey Belle and her family out of town and into silence. Hidden in another state, Honey Belle determines, successfully, to make something of herself, but she keeps a scrapbook of news clippings about the young man she had to leave behind.
Seventeen years later Tripp is not only a lawyer like his father but a Vietnam war hero and a United States senator. Before anyone can question the strong resemblance between him and a new congressional page, Honey Belle has to tell him the truth. And he must come to terms with the knowledge that he has a son by the woman who stole his heart and then mysteriously disappeared.

A tale of forbidden love set in the Sixties and Eighties in South Carolina between a man from a rich powerful family and a woman labeled as “white trash”, “The Forbidden Son” is an enjoyable read showing all the potential of the American Dream.
We watch the heroine, HJ, climbing the social ladder by means of her work and merit and have her HEA after almost two decades.
I loved the hero, Tripp, the earnest blue-eyed Law student who so quickly finds HJ is the one and decides to marry her. The wounded war hero and senator he becomes later are dimensions less explored but they all contribute to create a fine character.
I would have liked to have seen more of the couple together, particularly when they are mature, to have seen more interaction and chemistry between them. I was also expecting a bit more conflict or trouble when the father/son meeting occurs.
