Reader Review: “This book provides a masterful, exciting, and thought-provoking view
of the historical evolution of racial relations from both the white
and the the black perspectives. In my opinion, it is a virtually
untouched subject matter for well-written historical romance novels.
The author is extremely effective in utilizing dialogue and character
development to evoke the reader’s own emotional response without
interjecting her own political or moral beliefs on the subject matter.
It is a page-turner from beginning to end. I was not able to keep from
thinking about the story during the day and even dreamed about it at
night until I finished the book. I highly recommend this book and am
eagerly awaiting to read more of Maria McKenzie’s writing.” –Michele Prell
