This is a perfect historical romance for anyone who wants a different setting or a break for dukes,lords,and highlanders.

This book kept me engaged and almost all the qoutes I highlighted on Libby are perfect!!!!! I’m definitely gonna finish the rest of the series and read the rest of this author’s work.

This book kicks you in the teeth with its portrayal of the antebellum south. This is a recommendation for anyone who wants something different and has never had the chance to enjoy Octavia E. Butler’s books
