A highly enjoyable read. Valinda and Drake’s relationship is very sweet and I loved reading their story. 

Beverly Jenkins does a great job of weaving in the history and creating a robust setting and characters. The LeVeq family is a joy to read about and I love that they showed Valinda what a supportive and loving family is 🩷

Great read! I loved the characters and the relationship between Valinda and Drake. This book represented real life historical events and violence from post-civil war in a way that was realistic and informative, but the love and joy of the characters was still the priority, which I really loved.

I didn’t like the virgin trope and the spice was very flowery, which I don’t like. 

Overall, great book! Definitely a new favorite historical romance for me. Will definitely read more of her works.
