Hunted

Born Black in the Jim Crow South of the early 1900s, John feels like the rabbits he hunts to feed himself, his mother, and his sisters...always running from White men. The Johnsons, owners of the largest peach farm and just about everything else in town, produce some strange and bitter fruit with their racism. So, when Carolyn Johnson sets her sights on John and his friends, they decide to escape before her vicious threats and well-practiced lies add them to her family’s crop, but things go horribly wrong.

Now, years later, John is an illicit club owner in the North with his heart set on marrying the carefree, beautiful Robyn. But Carolyn’s memory and reach are long, and she is determined to harvest her odious crop. Like the mysterious crow with blue-green eyes that shows up throughout John’s life, no one is who they seem, and retribution awaits in the unlikeliest of places.

They had me at Speakeasy

The author did a great job keeping me on the edge of my seat. The characters had depth. I also liked that the main heroine wasn’t just a 2D version of the main characters fantasy. She had goals, purpose, and plans of her own and she had no intention of letting love get in the way of that. I also liked that the main character wasn’t a perfect hero. He had flaws that made him more realistic and relatable. To be honest I was a little shocked when I got to the end. I felt like I had just gotten to know and understand these characters and suddenly we were done. I can’t wait for the sequel.
