Wild Sweet Love

By: Beverly Jenkins

Narrated by: Kim Staunton

Teresa July has led a hard life, but now she has a chance to put her train robbing past behind her. Armed with a new job as a cook to one of Philadelphia's elite families, Teresa is determined to start her life anew, and nothing––not even her boss's stuck–up (and far too handsome) son––is going to stand in her way.

Madison Nance is sick of his mother taking in women from the wrong side of the tracks, just to see them turn on her generosity. That's why it's up to him to keep a close eye on Teresa's every move. At least, that's the only logical explanation for why he can't get the young woman out of his mind.

But when a woman from Madison's past threatens Teresa's future, the two reluctant lovers must join forces is they're ever going to have a chance at happiness.

She does not mis!

I love all her novels! The history and the love story. She does not miss.

Better second time around

Look Beverly Jenkins I can listen to her books all day. Wild Sweet Love was so good. I have all of Ms Jenkins books. I feel like I know the July’s personally. Thank you Beverly

Fantastic

A very rich story in the same style as her other books. A great book

Excellent

Another great story about the July family. Their love for each other and the people around them is unmatched. Madison popping back up was a nice surprise and I was glad to see his character evolve. Loved Mrs. Nance. Jenkins does it again!

Black Pride Captured in Storytelling!

I really liked Beverly Jenkins characterization of two very different black women: one older and refined contrasted opposite a younger, athletic, street smart, ‘take no prisoners’ released convict.

As usual, Jenkins effectively introduced passion and hotness into the late 1800”s storyline situated in the towns of urban Philadelphia and frontier Henry Adams where black folks governed themselves following the end of the Civil War and the development of Jim Crow laws.
