Beautiful Story

Topaz is a great book!!! I was not into the historical romances until in the bookstore I was discussing Bev's newer books with another customer. She encouraged me to try a historical romance and I did.!! I went back and purchased them all. Topaz is my favorite I have read it over and over again!! That Dixon Wildhorse is all kinds of sexy!! (And I just love a man in uniform). If you are not familiar with Bev's Historical romances please please give them a read. You will not be disappointed and you will definitely learn something too!!! Topaz, Indigo, and Vivid are my favorites. I have them all but these top the list.

One of Beverly Jenkins best!

I really loved this book. Dixon Wild horse was something else. Beverly Jenkins has the uncanny ability to incorporate American/African American History into some of the most outrageous plots and thus create a historical but often witty love story. Unlike her other books such as 'Night Song' and 'Indigo', which were anchored in pre-Civil War or post-Civil War African American history, 'Topaz' opens with a reporter breaking into her fiancé's safe in order to retrieve evidence of his wrong doings. Of course she is caught, dressed as a man and the fiancé plays the ever more deceitful ogre that he is. But then along comes Dixon Wild horse, her Black Knight in silky dark brown muscled armor. Of course, she's grateful for the rescue until she discovers she's promised in marriage to Mr. Wild horse in order to save her father from a federal prison sentence. And thus begins to fight, the humor and the romance.

Dix and Katherine are such a wonderful, exciting couple. How can anyone not fall in love with Dix? He is everything a woman wants in a man. Katherine is great too. She is ambitious, independent, and beautiful. This book combined all of my interests in westerns, mysteries, black history, and romance. Kate Love's independence and sharp wit was wonderfully tempered by the magnanimous Marshall Dix Wild horse. "Topaz" reminds me of "The Taming of the Shrew", but with more sass and flare. I laughed out loud, cried at times, and turned each page with my breath bated in anticipation. I learned so much about the lesser-known people of the western frontier of the late 1800's. Beverly Jenkins is truly a scholar and a gifted storyteller. There are even historical references at the back as well. I would recommend this to any reader!

I honestly can say I really enjoyed this book. Being a headstrong person myself I thought he was a little bossy in the beginning, but he won me over:)Ms. Jenkins keep up the good work and I can't wait to read Sexy & Dangerous

Great read

Count backwards my friends (sigh)

What a Man! What a Man! What a Mighty Good Man!!!

This is the 10th Annivesary edition of Topaz.. if you have read it before, it is worth reading again, and again. Katherine Love, independant newspaper woman, is out to catch Rupert Samuels, who has been selling phoney railroad stocks, to elderly blacks in the east. She wasn't counting on her father arranging for her to marry in order to keep him out of jail. Katherine comes face to face with Dixon Wildhorse, tall, handsome, Black Seminole Deputy Marshall from Oklahoma's Indian Territory. Sparks begin to ignite as Katherine had never expected them to. Dixon is faced with marrying a woman with the spirit and beauty that challenges him in every way.

This is my FAVORITE love story by Beverly Jenkins. My heart skips a beat every time I read this novel. The anniversary novel has an additional chapter that simply makes you love Dixon even more. The new cover is AWESOME!!

Peace and Blessings!!
