This was a fabulous story. Much more realistic than Taken By Moonlight because of the horribly real situation it dealt with. It was beautiful to see love born from such an ugly time and place. The love between Leon and Penny was strong, even though it was considered to be an absolute affront against nature. They fought hard for their love and for what they thought was right in terms of helping the slaves, including her. Penny especially had it hard because she had two strikes against her. She was hunted because she was thought to be a beautiful but "un-breakable" slave. She was also rumored to be "different" from the other african americans. In their fight they had help from Leon's two equally delicious brothers, and I really hope they get their own stories especially Armand, whom I wish had a happier ending. The only thing I would complain about is I wish we would have seen Old Ma again, what happened to Jolie, and did Aiesha get what she deserved? Anyway, this was a wonderfully romantic (and very steamy) novel and will most likely take the place as my new favorite by Ms. Dubrinsky.
