Historia
As a child, Hester Wyatt escaped slavery, but now the dark-skinned beauty is a member of Michigan's Underground Railroad, offering other runaways a chance at the freedom she has learned to love. When one of her fellow conductors brings her an injured man to hide, Hester doesn't hesitate...even after she is told about the price on his head. The man in question is known as the "Black Daniel," a vital member of the North's Underground Railroad network.

The title alone sparked my interest in the book. Though when I saw that the setting was enslavement I hesitated. However, I was soon drawn in by character development and story. Hester and Gaelin--wow. What a match.
The narration was well done, both English and French. Though I don't speak French, it sounded good to my ears.
As always, the history woven into the story made it a strong one. i think that with this book more than the other Beverly Jenkins books I have read, there was an almost constant anticipation as to where and how the story would turn, as slavery was fraught with the unknown. May we never return to such times. May all, all over the world, know freedom, for highest good.

Historia
It's 1876 and Dr. Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to set up a practice in the small all-black community of Grayson Grove, Michigan, she leaves her California home and heads east. The very determined Viveca knows all about fighting for her rights. But she may need more than determination to face down the distractingly handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed mayor.

A Sweet Tale
Revisado: 04-18-25
Loved the setting, and the emphasis on family and community. Of course, the historical references were nicely woven into the story.

Historia
I didn't want this woman to be my nanny. She had no experience and a failed art career. What did she know about rearing children? She was my late wife's choice, and I didn't too much care for the woman, and she didn't care for me, either. Until all hell broke loose and the nanny was the only one my son could turn to. The only one we could rely on. She kept us going, and then she wanted to leave, too. Not a damn chance.

Historia
The Mystic Christ is an ancient tale of mystic union, salvation, and enlightenment. It is the careful uncovering of a lost treasure of immeasurable value, long buried in the suffocating darkness of conventional orthodoxy on one side, and blind fundamentalist extremism on the other.

Clarifying, Reminding, and Confirming
Revisado: 08-07-24
This book covered a lot of ground. As a spiritual person, I appreciated the positive nods to paganism with its truth that love of God is heart rather than religion based.
I thought the ending was a tad on the pessimistic side. However, putting pure love at the center of our thoughts and actions in order to merge, again, with our Creator/Creatress was the overall take away for me. Worth reading.

An Intelligent Romance
Revisado: 07-06-24
It was the end of the story that made it plausible. i liked that the main female character was intelligent and the sex language and references were not over done.
There was at one point what sounded like southern accents amongst the male characters where none existed before, which I thought was weird.
Good listen overall.

Engrossing Story, Memorable Characters
Revisado: 06-25-24
The plot thickened. There were surprises and strangeness. In the midst of this work of science fiction was a beautiful love story. Observation: The word taciturn was used often, but appropriately.
Looking forward to continuation of this series.

Too Much Profanity
Revisado: 03-13-24
I like the themes of having and dealing with mental and physical health issues and still finding love. However, the gratuitous profanity spoiled the stories for me. Skipped Danai.

Historia
More than a year after she helped save the world from the Sparnaxian invasion, Andrea Vernon is in a good place. Her boss is giving her greater responsibility and she’s getting to travel a lot (although her fill-in is hopeless at making coffee); things could be getting even more serious with her 8’ 4” superhero boyfriend, The Big Axe; and she has a really fun new BFF, Never More. Small issue, though, with that last item - Never More is a supervillain bent on world domination, and it looks as if nothing can stop her.

Well Actually--I Loved It
Revisado: 09-14-23
Andrea Vernon and the Superhero Industrial Complex made me happier than a pigeon eating a French fry. The humor, the quirky characters and their development, the sarcasm, the plot twists all made for an enjoyable read. I especially enjoyed Bahni Turpin's narration. So many characters, yet she was able to voice them uniquely (I'm sure Rosie Perez was one study, and Turpin's Nevermore interpretation was inspired).
I have a habit of reading a serious tome and lighter subject matter concurrently. The Alexander Cane books balance perfectly.

Historia
The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

What is Civilized, Really?
Revisado: 01-31-23
A great read. It wasn't what I was expecting in this time-travel story which turned out to be a good thing. Very thoughtful messages about what it means to be human--and humane.
