5.0 out of 5 stars Historical Black Romance At Its Best!, September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Night Song (Mass Market Paperback)

Regardless of your race, if you like romance novels, you'll love Beverly Jenkins...I was introduced to Beverly Jenkins in 1996! I'd purchased Vivid and Night Song together because of the beautiful people on the cover. But, I was reluctant to dive in because I wasn't sure what to expect. Well after reading those 2 back to back, I was hooked. Every trip to the book store since, leads me to the romance section in search of a new Beverly Jenkins release. Since that time in 1996, I've purchased and read Indigo, Topaz and Through The Storm...Beverly Jenkins is the queen of historical black romance! I can't wait to get my hands on her latest, "The Taming Of Jesse Rose" *****(5 stars!)

This review is from: Night Song (Mass Market Paperback)

A co-worker of mine told me about Beverly Jenkins last year and thought -- what?! I don't read romance novels! Give me a good murder/mystery/non-fiction and I'm good to go. Well, she wouldn't let it go and said that I just HAD to read one of Ms. Jenkins books and I would be hooked. I didn't believe her, but to shut her up, I bought Night Song since it was the first book. When I took a looked at the cover, I just shook my head. Who reads this cheesy crap?!

After finishing this book in only a few days, I was totally hooked! The story of Cara and Chase is well written and you get a little bit if history in the mix. And the love scenes -- Whoa! I didn't expect that! The best part of all is that although this is fiction, we get a chance to read about African-Americans living normal lives back in the 1800's. Of course slavery was going on and nobody can forget about that, but then again there were free blacks also. They were living, working, loving, etc.

Cara is a career woman who has gone to college and isn't looking to settle down. Chase is a buffalo soldier just out to flirt with Cara to pass the time. They never expected to end up so much in love.

Since reading this book back in December, I've read nine of Ms. Jenkins other boooks and I'm not stopping until I've read them all. Night Song is my favorite because it was the first, but Indigo is a close second.

Night Song is a book you can read over and over again and never tire of it. You feel all the emotion that the author wanted to convey to the readers. She uses fact and fiction to keep the reader reading more and more.
