I feel like I've included this in past reviews, but while I do appreciate the historical context that Beverly Jenkins brings to her work, it mostly falls short for me on the emotional front. I wish I felt differently, because she is so iconic and there needs to be room made for BIPOC characters in our historical romance, but I hardly ever feel like I get enough time with the characters to be invested in their relationship. All this being said, I do absolutely love Portia's no bullshit mentality and seeing Rhine and Eddy be so happy together.

An extremely charming and fun read, and I learned things about the historical context I hadn't known! If you're in the mood for a light but interesting romance novel, this one fits the bill.
