The eldest niece of the Forbidden MCs* reunites with a childhood friend at her family’s hotel and ranch in the Arizona Territory. He’s a playboy immediately bowled over by the very serious, very anti marriage, Portia. There is some over explaining that gets distracting at moments but doesn’t take away from the story.
The romance, treatment of the trauma of Portia’s young life, and study of grief are gentle and moving. I cried.
Willllllllld ending.
Excellent Jenkins style history: Black women’s suffrage; racist violence; class differences; and the appalling treatment of Black Americans and Apaches by the US.
*Eddy and Rhine are doing exceptionally well.
