I've never really thought much about the politics of The Heights and Blackwood, so I wasn't expecting this storyline at all. But it's a testament to how talented CCJ is that she can cross genres in such a way that everything is still connected (LOVED the cameos). 

I would have liked to get a little more about Duke's background and I almost felt like it was going to go in a different direction with the Black  Gallery. But overall I enjoyed seeing Camille and Duke's relationship progress.

I really loved the premise of this book, but I found it kind of boring overall. It was extremely repetitive and the writing was pretty flat. Nothing really "sang" to me or was particularly memorable. For the time period it was set in, I didn't really feel the threat of Jim Crow and segregation in the parts that took place in the South. It just felt like a bit of a missed opportunity to dive a bit more into the historical context without compromising the romance. I did love the love Alex and Michael's families had for them though.
