A deeply divided nation. Vicious politics. A shamelessly partisan media. A president loathed by half the populace. Smuggling and gang warfare along the Mexican border. Armed citizens willing to stand their ground and take law into their own hands.... That was America in 1881. All those forces came to bear on the afternoon of October 26, when Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers faced off against the Clantons and the McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. It should have been a simple misdemeanor arrest.

Story
Dear Diary, It will take more than threats - and one overbearing rancher - to drive me away from my rightful property...When I inherited this isolated land near the Mexican border, I knew running it would be difficult and dangerous - very different from my privileged life in Louisiana, where I was the genteel Miss Trilby Lang. But I certainly didn't expect that my neighbor, Thorn Vance, would be challenging me at every turn.

When innocent, wealthy Nora Marlowe came to visit the Wild West, she was as wide-open to adventure as the vast Texas horizon. Its rugged individualism - and dashing cowboys - suited her romantic spirit. That is, until the wrong cowboy decided to take the elegant heiress down a notch! Cal Barton didn’t like haughty Eastern misses. And he certainly didn’t appreciate one invading the ranch where he worked. But something about Nora was irresistible. The pull between them only grew stronger the longer she stayed - until a simple kiss became a full-fledged seduction....

This book is surprisingly interesting.
You get a good story from the 1800's; along with black history that we were never taught in high school. Ms. Jenkins gives you a good plot with lots of surprises along the way. And you'll see that the heroin in the story is much more then you may first think. Don't miss out on this fabulous story.

SO BEAUTIFUL
I LOVE Beverly Jenkins' novels before I started listening to them. I've read almost all of them and have a good number of them. All the character's are wonderfully described and Mr. Penny's voice for each of the characters is unique and well suited for that character. I can't wait for THOMAS PENNY to narrate the rest of them. I've listened to other romances by other narrators and as of now, I don't think there's one better then Mr. Penny. I fall in love with the character's all over again. It's hard not to listen to him read for almost the whole 10 hours straight, but a girl has to sleep. lol. Can't wait for the rest of them!!! (Praying that's it's soon, because I've only got one more Beverly Jenkins to listen to now "Captured" before I've exhausted Audible's availability.)

All the feels
Ms. Bev has the best historical novels out there next to my other favorite author Joan Vassar. I literally have them both on rotation. I have listened to this book at least five times now. Enough to recite the entire book. Thomas Penny has a few voices that grate on my nerves but having a man versus Kim Staunton is a breath of fresh air at times though. While it does seem like her stories have tue same plot with different characters, they are quite different. The history she gives to each book is fascinating and the genealogical aspects of her fictional characters suck me in. I find myself going back to each book while reading the blessings series, just to relive the earlier days. I’m all down the rabbit hole with Ms. Bev and these darn books. Great job as usual!! ❤️❤️

Beautiful historical romance
What made the experience of listening to The Taming of Jessi Rose the most enjoyable?
Thomas Penny has a wonderful, rich voice that is an absolute pleasure to listen to, and he crafts his character voices carefully. Wonderful!
Any additional comments?
This is a fantastic cowboy/historical romance! Mr. Penny has a golden voice, and Ms. Jenkins has a beautiful variety of characters, who are lively and interesting. I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed spending time with the characters, and I enjoyed the history lessons.
I am confused by the categorization of this book. The only reason I heard of it is because someone recommended it to me, because I like historical romance, which this book most definitely is. If my friend had not told me about Ms. Jenkins, I never would have found her, because I don't shop in General Fiction.

Tamed by Love
The start was with a spitfire of a female that needed no man for help of any kind. But when she saw he was there to assist her against her nemesis she began to change. She could not understand why but Love had taken hold of her heart with each endearing and thoughtful task done by Mr. Blake. This is how we would like a relationship to progress in the modern age. We women are all doing is by ourselves and growl at men who try to assist us by removing barriers or giving kind words in order to spend time with us. Suffice it to say Mrs. Jenkin's has hit a home run with this wonderfully spirited woman who finds she can still hang with the boys but be soft with just one special man.
