I LOVED this!
The explanations of the history were seamless and not “info-dump”, the LaVeq family is fascinating (I want to go back and read the original series). 
The romance between Drake and Val made sense, and the communication between them was refreshing; these people don’t hide anything from each other and even when they had a disagreement, their reconciliation was mature. 
The steamy scenes made sense considering the historical era we are reading about. 
The audiobook was beautifully done.
I can see now why Beverly Jenkins is considered the queen of inclusive historical romance, and I will be reading more of her books. I also look forward to reading her older books to see how her writing style evolved over the years.
