This is my second time reading her work, I admire her so much for writing black historical romance, they said it couldn't be done!
Usually I really don't like when male leads in romance novels are too self assured or pushy in their affection, but there was just something about Galen. I'm sorry yall I had to put the feminism down for a second.
This book had really heroic, likeable characters and a beautiful ending. There were times it felt a little like Bev was reciting from a history book, but we got back into it real quick.
Loved it!
