I am going on record as saying Mercedes Keyes has become one of my favorite authors. Her latest release is the story of Asiza(one of Cora's daughters) and Broc Wolf(descendant of Irish Slaves). We first heard of Cora's daugthers when we were introduced to Suga in Fancy. These womwn were bred and raised to be "fancy" and service white men sexually.In Aziza's story, she refused to be used for sexual pleasure by these men so she killed them. They then tried to track her down and sent dogs after her but she slayed them too. In desperation, they hired Broc Wolf (bounty hunter) to track her down. What they did not know was that he was a descendant of Irish slaves and that his mother was a negro. Once he saw her, he knoew there was no way he could turn her in, instead he fell hard for her and decided to marry her. He took her from Virginia to New York to start a new life as his wife.I loved Aziza's fiestiness and Broc's ability to deal with her moods. As with every Mercedes Keyes book that I have read, there is a lesson in history and her story telling makes it fascinating. You can't help but fall in love with her characters and its like losing a loved one when the book ends.
