It has such heated romance that I was ready to snatch Galen Vachon right out of the pages into my bedroom! Now I know why Drake, Myk, and Saint (in her contemporary books) are so romantic--they are definitely gifted with their ancestor Galen's "romantic gene" (as Drake kept saying). Additionally, Ms. Jenkins brings black history alive with her historical romance books and this one got me interested in learning more about the role of slaves with indigo plantations. History, romance and excellent writing---couldn't ask for more.”

I am at a loss of words over how this book taught me to have faith in what our ancestors went through for us, and no matter the situation there is always something to look forward too. Especially love. Call me a hopeless romantic if you want to but this book was da BOMB! I have purchased 2 copies, one to let others read it for themselves and one to "keep" and re-read as necessary.
Beverly Jenkins you have a fan for life w/this one alone!”
“I found my copies on ebay. Took me a while to bid and win but it was worth the wait. This book and everyone before and after are excellent romance's novels. I think you can also order it at Borders or any of the other bookstores. They have the verison that is shown above.”

Beverly's ability to bring African-American history to life through romance is clever, brilliant and one of the greatest gifts Beverly could give to the world. Indigo is a must read - check it out for yourself.”

This is only my third novel by Beverly Jenkins. And she has yet to disappoint! I've read Night Song, Vivid and now Indigo. I enjoyed the heated romance between Hester and Galen. The chemistry between Galen and Hester was so charged, they couldn't help but fall for each other. Their story just leapt off the pages. Galen was so used to being able to get any woman he wanted and he was so undone when Hester constantly told him 'No', he just couldn't help but fall in love with her and her innocence. It was wonderful to read about how much they were able to love each other. Considering the times they were living in with slavery and many arranged marriages taking place, and especially considering the 'Road' work they both did, yet with all of that taking place around them, they were able to find true love. When I first heard about the Black Daniel and Hester in Vivid, I thought now that's a story I would love to read. And now that I have, all I can say is WOW! It was a real page turner. It had me LOL and crying at the same time. And at times I laughed so hard I cried. I also enjoyed many of the other characters in the story, especially Raymond LeVeq and his brothers. I enjoyed the camraderie and the loyalty they shared with Galen, which extended to Hester once she became part of his life. Hope to read more about some of these characters in future novels. My only problem with the story was that like all books it had to come to an end, and as good as the ending was, it just ended way too soon for me. Thanks for sharing Beverly Jenkins.”
“This is my favorite book out of all of Ms. B.'s books. Ms. B. has a way with intertwining historical facts with a great lovestory. You will not be able to put this book down once you start reading it.
The best thing about Ms. B's books they are all like this. Once you start them you can't seem to put them down.
Hope you read it and enjoy!!”
