One of the best books I've read

I really enjoyed this book from Beverly Jenkins. I think it is the one that I prefer so far. I laughed out loud throughout the entire book.


Topaz

Beverly Jenkins is awesome. Not only are her love scenes hot but you are given a wealth of historical knowledge regarding the reconstruction and subsequent jim crow period in our history. She is able to make you proud of our contributions and especially proud of our black men and the way they treat their families and women. She is great and the stories have plots that hold your interest and keep you wanting more.

I need to catch my breath

I always shy away from historical romance because I thought they were boring. But boy was I wrong. This book was better than most contemporary novels. I loved Kate. She is a strong black woman who speaks her mind but there is also an innocence about her. Dixon was the best; he's sexy, compassionate and a REAL man. Can somebody say Amen! This is a true romance story that will melt your heart. The history is an added bonus. I'm still trying to catch my breath.






Easy Read



Again, I enjoyed and was entertained and educated reading the going ons of Dix Wildhorse, Katherine, Bart(her father), and the entire cast of characters.

Bart was a character. He gave his 29 years old daughter up for marriage to Wildhorse without her consent or knowledge for a debt. I learned much about what was going on with the black folks, particularly the ones living in Indian Territory.

I recommend this book.

Simply Pleased

Topaz is a must read. I am a new Beverly Jenkins reader amd since reading Topaz, I have read two more books that have ties to Topaz. I wondered what happened to two of the characters in the book and low and behold.....I found my answer. If you like to read about life in the 1800's with the mail order brides........this book will not disappoint you. I plan to read every available book written by Ms. Jenkins.
