The Taming of Jessi Rose

By: Beverly Jenkins

Narrated by: Thomas Penny

Beverly Jenkins is an incredibly popular author of African-American romances. The Taming of Jessi Rose is the unforgettable tale of Jessi Rose Clayton. In trying to save her family ranch from falling into the greedy hands of the wrong people, Jessi finds a unique solution-hiring outlaw railroad robber Griffin Blake as her protector. Now, with this strong, bronze-bodied man on her side, Jessi might just be tempted to mix business with pleasure.

Great Story!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gives people of color a place in history other than slaves or maids.

Charming and funny

I loved this historical romance set in Texas with a widow protecting her land an outlaw with a heart of gold.

This book is surprisingly interesting.

You get a good story from the 1800's; along with black history that we were never taught in high school. Ms. Jenkins gives you a good plot with lots of surprises along the way. And you'll see that the heroin in the story is much more then you may first think. Don't miss out on this fabulous story.

SO BEAUTIFUL

I LOVE Beverly Jenkins' novels before I started listening to them. I've read almost all of them and have a good number of them. All the character's are wonderfully described and Mr. Penny's voice for each of the characters is unique and well suited for that character. I can't wait for THOMAS PENNY to narrate the rest of them. I've listened to other romances by other narrators and as of now, I don't think there's one better then Mr. Penny. I fall in love with the character's all over again. It's hard not to listen to him read for almost the whole 10 hours straight, but a girl has to sleep. lol. Can't wait for the rest of them!!! (Praying that's it's soon, because I've only got one more Beverly Jenkins to listen to now "Captured" before I've exhausted Audible's availability.)

Great Read

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I couldn't stop listening the reader was very engaging.
