At this point, I’m pretty sure they’ll never be a Beverly Jenkins book that I don’t like. I enjoyed the character Spring Lee and how she didn’t apologize to anyone about her independence and what she wanted in life. Garrett McCray was definitely giving big city boy energy at the beginning of the book, and it was nice to see his growth and him being put in his place by Spring. The declarations of love in this book were so tender and you could feel the substance and heat between these two thanks to Jenkins’s talented writing. Plus, there’s great bits and pieces of history throughout the book that weave into the narrative seamlessly.
