Yeah…no. The premise was so promising and the story gave me absolutely nothing

An overall enjoyable read, however I prefer her historical novels. I enjoyed the story of Lacey and Drake although the ending was a bit weak. I would love to know if Drake ran for another term.

My favorite part of this series are the references to Galon and Hester Vachon. I’m glad we learned more about Roland Vachon and his tragic story.

I wish these books were listed as a series. The main characters in The Edge of Midnight, The Edge of Dawn, and Black Lace are all based on three half brothers who are descendants of Galen Vachon/The Black Daniel from Beverly Jenkins' historical romance novel Indigo.
I love that all Beverly Jenkins' contemporary romance novels are somewhat related. And that the characters a related to characters from her historical romance novels.
Though this was my least favorite book out of the three, I still really enjoyed it. It was my least favorite because it was somewhat anticlimactic. I really enjoyed the topic of environmental issues in minority communities. This is a topic that isn't discussed enough. And as always Ms. Jenkins delivered on the steamy romance and passion topics!

The audiobook for this was very well narrated and I loved the romance between Drake and Lacy. It does feel more like a Contemporary than Romantic Suspense.
