Totally Engrossing Read,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nowhere to Run (Indigo Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
Ms. Gunn definitely put her heart and soul into Nowhere to Run. From the very first sentence the reader is catapulted into the world of Cassie Lee and Solomon. With a sharp eye for detail and the ability to write beautiful imagery, she really delivers! In a time when African Americans had absolutely no rights as human beings, her characters showed the kind of strength and resilience worthy of hero worship. Yes, Nowhere to Run is romantic and sensual (for you diehard romance readers). However the author displayed the kind of depth we've come to expect from so-called 'serious' reads, the kind that top the New York Times Bestseller lists. I've seen books that make that list which truly don't live up to the honor. Nowhere to Run should have been there when it debuted. But perhaps you, the reader, can get the word out now: THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!!! 'Nuff said?

ACHEIVE YOUR DREAMS UNDER YOUR OWN CONDITIONS!,
By lpeterso@fda.oc.gov (Chocolate City, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nowhere to Run (Indigo Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
The character of Cassie Lee captured me at the beginning and carried me through the entire book! Cassie Lee was a slave whose dream was to become free and rich. She was purchashed to become the wife of a powerful and rich black man. I know you're thinking..."Now, If she has all of the right ingredients, then there is no way that her dreams could not have been acheived!" WRONG! Choosing not to accept the conditions and treatment that she was given, she left with NOWHERE TO RUN! She was no longer a slave, but she was still poor. Continuing with half of her goals accomplished, she remained honest and hardworking throughout her many trials. In the end, not only did she become rich and free, she did it CASSIE LEE's way!! YOU GO GIRL!

Nowhere to run,

This review is from: Nowhere to Run (Indigo Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
The old west was s very important time in history and it is truly wonderful to finally see more black western love story emerging. I loved Cassie Lee and Solomon story and I hated to see the book end. Well done, and I hope to see more historically western black love stories in the future.
