Review of Taboo by Leslie Dicken


When two strangers meet by chance, their shared ecstasy challenges cultural differences and changes the course of their future.
Two societies have lived apart on a remote planet for generations. At the top of the Dwelling live the Aerotaun, people who have built wings to help them fly. The bottom is occupied by the Marimar, hearty swimmers who live and feed by the sea. Because of the mystery surrounding their ancestors’ landing, suspicions and distrust thrive between the cultures.
Until a taboo encounter occurs on an isolated beach.
Ariana, an Aerotaun, cannot resist the seductive allure of the forbidden Andreus. Their few days alone ignite sexual exploration and uninhibited ecstasy. But when Ariana finally learns the shocking secret about their purpose on the planet, she must decide if her heart belongs with her people or the sexy Marimar.
My thoughts:

This story takes you on a journey of two people that find that even if you are from two different cultures you are not really as different as you might think. 
Ariana & Andreus are tested on every step of this journey.  Whether it is fear of trying something new, the fear of the unknown, or the fear of never feeling what they feel for each other again.   
My only complaint would be that the story ended all too soon for me.  Leslie did a great job of sucking me into this world of the Top Dwellers and the Bottom Dwellers and just when we learn something big the story ends. I do hope that Leslie will continue this story. I really want to know what happens next…
