Lovely

Oh what a beautiful love story. The heroine was so sassy and clever yet open to love. The hero was so confident, handsome and determined. I loved it! I'm ready for the next book.

Good story, terrible narration.

this was my first Beverly Jenkins book and I enjoyed the story's plot, flow and tone. I hated the narration, as the narrator repeatedly swallowed, made unnecessary and awkward pauses, and missed the tone of the dialogue. I've listened to books by other authors she has performed for, and had a similar experience.

I lived the story and I remember reading Beverly Jenkins Indigo years ago.

I can hear the narrator swallowing all the time. But I did like the story.

Good book but ...

It’s a really nice hook, but the narrator’s swallowing sounds get in the way a bit. I’ve listened to a lot of books and there has to be a way to swallow saliva more subtly. She’s a good narrator though, so it makes up for the little annoyance.

Nice story, substandard narration

I love historical romance novels. This one is very interesting because it is set in both Philadelphia and California during the 1880s. The characters are a little bit superficial, and a little hard to believe sometimes. The narrator has a pleasant voice but was disappointing. She tries to do a Spanish accent but sounds more Jamaican. She also puts weird emphasis on random parts of sentences, and mispronounces way too many words for a professional narrator.
