Vivid

By: Beverly Jenkins

Narrated by: Robin Eller

It's 1876 and Dr. Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to set up a practice in the small all-black community of Grayson Grove, Michigan, she leaves her California home and heads east. The very determined Viveca knows all about fighting for her rights. But she may need more than determination to face down the distractingly handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed mayor.

Nate Grayson goes to the train station expecting Dr. V. Lancaster to be a man. But when the lovely, dark-skinned Viveca introduces herself, he is at first speechless, then orders her back on the train and out of his town! It's 1876 and women aren't supposed to be doctors, men are. However, Nate isn't prepared for this extraordinary beauty's stubbornness and fire, nor for the vivid way she heals - then steals - his heart. Contains mature themes.

A nice story

Love the little hints of history throughout the story. It’s not as hot passionate love making as I’m used to reading but it was nice.

Vivica Remembered

It’s was a wonderful journey back in time to hear about the feisty doctor and surly divorcee. An enchanting tale that teaches history and enthralls a tale of mystery and love.

Soooo Good!

I have listened to this book multiple times and it just keeps getting better! I honestly can’t count how many times this listen makes. I love Beverly Jenkins! I love her writing style, I love the amazing characters she creates. I love the history she includes in her writing! I feel like I find pieces of myself in her writing as I imagine my ancestors who lived during these times and the way they must’ve lived. This book is definitely worth the money to purchase it and then some! Fantastic Read!

Everything Beverly Jenkins writes is GOLD

She is def a favorite for me. I wish her series were sold as set on audible. But I love how her female characters are so strong but not at the expense of the black man. The male characters are strong and not intimidated by a strong woman. Must read. This is one of my favorites so far.
