Summary: Once again Jenkins out does herself....
Comment: If you have never read a Beverly Jenkins novel you've never truly read a good book. Wonderful, colorful characters, good old fashioned heart warming love, humor and whimsy, history and culture, twists and suspense, topped off with a couple of happy tears and the sadness of being finished right at the end. Those who lavish in her work don't lend their books out to friends - even good ones - unless they've got another copy to spare for fear of losing their favorite book (mind you each of her novels are my favorite book)to the forces of evil or worse yet the realm of I can't find it. Message boards are littered with requests by avid readers to find one book or another penned by this author. Getting one off ebay is next to impossible. With all this said, I implore you - BUY THIS BOOK NOW - don't wait for it to go down in price - they don't - and I don't care if you've got plenty of other things to read - put them down - and enjoy the newest work by one of the most profound historical romance writers - excuse me - just make that writer of any work -to grace us with her presence. This particular novel puts a spin on the traditional. Here we have an inexperienced Hero and an experienced Heroine with a ton of heat between them burning the book right in your hands...I don't need to say more. A Synopsis is not needed. Read it for yourself. Then feel free to thank me afterward.

Summary: strong engaging historical romance
Comment: In 1884, Loreli Winters travels as part of a contingent of Black mail order brides. However, unlike the rest of the females, Loreli has no intention of marrying anyone nor live in the small Black community of Hanks, Kansas. She signed on for the adventure of going west and plans to continue on to California.
Two little girls, Bebe and Dede learn that Loreli is not intending to be anyone's mother, and decide she will be their new mama. Loreli worries about the twins being by themselves so she insists on escorting them home. She meets their Uncle Jake Reed and both mutually agree that matrimony is not in either of their plans. However, neither one realize yet how far two desperate matchmaking preadolescents will go to make Loreli their new mama. As they protest a little bit louder then necessary, inside their hearts Jake and Loreli are falling in love.
When one reads a Beverly Jenkins historical romance, the flavor of the era from a different perspective freely flows through a wonderful tale. A CHANCE AT LOVE is a chance for the audience to learn about American Blacks in the 1880s yet while doing so inside a strong engaging novel. The story line is vividly descriptive, but also provides fully developed characters. Fans the author's previous books will relish Loreli finally as the lead and know she met her soul mate. The twins with their actions somewhat steal the show, but the real strength of this story remains the period piece that displays the immense talent of Ms. Jenkins.

Summary: Exciting
Comment: I loved reading this book. I like the history of the Black Indian. Wonderful. Jake was a hard man, but Loreli changed all of that. The children were a delight and knew what and who they wanted. You can't go wrong with reading this book. It is exciting
