The HEA for Trans Kids folks put together another great bundle of books. All donations go to Trans Lifeline

Winter Wonderland bundle by HEA for Trans Kids

November 29, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Yes! It’s book bundle time at HEAs for Trans Kids. This time I’m reviewing just a few of the books in the Winter Wonderland bundle. I want you to have an opportunity to donate your minimum of $25, through December 5, so you can get your own bundle. Hither, Page by Cat Sebastian – I have previously reviewed it here, and it is still excellent. The real scandal is that I haven’t reviewed The Missing Page yet. Part of me wants to say that the […]

Probably my Favorite Beverly Jenkins book!

To Catch a Raven by Beverly Jenkins

August 23, 2022 by LB Leave a Comment

Gosh, this book is a delight. I love Beverly Jenkins’ books more with each one I read, and this one is especially good. Raven is part of a family of grifters who are very skilled at what they do. When her mom, Hazel’s ex returns to town with Pinkerton detective Ruth Welch, she gets coerced into going to South Carolina to pose as a domestic and find a stolen copy of the Declaration of Independence. While playing the role of domestic, Raven is also playing […]

To Catch a Raven by Beverly Jenkins

August 15, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I’ve been struggling with historical romance for a couple of years. For the most part it hasn’t appealed to me except for a few authors. Beverly Jenkins is one of those authors. With Jenkins, I know I’m going to get strong women, great characters who are supportive of each other, and an honest representation of history. Raven Moreau is a grifter from a family of grifters, con artists, forgers, and thieves. Braxton Steele’s father was an art forger a long time ago. Ruth Welch, a […]

Indigo

Indigo by Beverly Jenkins

May 9, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Wow. Sorry to say but this is probably the first Ms. Beverly Jenkins book I have read that I struggled with. I think it’s just because this one is packed with too much stuff. We have Hester helping the Underground Railroad. We have Hester dealing with her former fiancée and his now wife. We have Hester dealing with the attentions of slave catcher. And that’s before you add in all of the Galen stuff. This book could have easily been broken into a duology with […]

Until the mountains are no more, I will love you

Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins

January 24, 2021 by Emmalita 2 Comments

I am so glad that Beverly Jenkins is finally getting more of the popular attention that she deserves. Her name has come up a lot as people have talked about what Netflix or Shondaland should adapt next for a series. Jenkins has been writing sine 1994, and calls her writing “edutainment.” While white writers, publishers and readers were debating whether it was possible to give Black characters a happy ending in romance, Beverly Jenkins was writing those stories and showing her work with bibliographies for […]

Love was the last thing on their minds

Destiny's Captive by Beverly Jenkins

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon

December 21, 2020 by teresaelectro 6 Comments

Romance has been a great salve for the general pandemic malaise. I’ve been loving own voices books featuring Black protagonists finding love, even when it was absolutely the last thing on their minds. These three novels all written by Black women were refreshing and reminded me why I love this genre. I absolutely love reading about an independent woman who falls in love with a sexy man who has his act together. I picked up Destiny’s Captive by Beverly Jenkins from the library. I had […]
