Belle

Belle Palmer is finally free! Separated from her father on the harrowing escape, Belle is lost and alone until she finds shelter with the Bests, the first free family she's ever known. For the first time in her 16 years, Belle can speak her mind - except for her feelings for a certain dark-eyed young man - The Beau.

Educated and handsome, at 18, Daniel Best is engaged to the prettiest (if a little spoiled) girl around. So when the bedraggled girl his parents take under their wing suddenly turns into a vibrant, lovely young woman, his attraction to her is a complete - and complicated - surprise.

That the two belong together is undeniable, but caught between conscience and attraction, could it possibly happen?

Easy to love

The story of Belle is told so clear and vividly. The plight of slaves and Freeman was very apparent.

Amazing!

A must read if you like historical romance. Wonderful plot, spot on historical references. Hopefully there will be a sequel.

Belle Blooming!

The storyline was gripping and encouraging. I felt like I was there. The characters were well written and I loved the way I didn’t hear the narrator talking. I felt like I was listening in on a real life experience.

Never Disappointed

Beverly Jenkins is a phenomenal author and you are never disappointed. I would strongly recommend this reas.
