About this listen

As a child, Hester Wyatt escaped slavery, but now the dark-skinned beauty is a member of Michigan's Underground Railroad, offering other runaways a chance at the freedom she has learned to love.

When one of her fellow conductors brings her an injured man to hide, Hester doesn't hesitate...even after she is told about the price on his head. The man in question is known as the "Black Daniel", a vital member of the North's Underground Railroad network. But Hester finds him so rude and arrogant, she begins to question her vow to hide him.

Galen Vachon is a member of one of the wealthiest free black families in New Orleans. He has turned his back on the lavish living he is accustomed to in order to provide freedom to those who are enslaved in the South. However, as he heals, he cannot turn his back on Hester Wyatt; he is determined to make this gorgeous and intelligent woman his own. Yet there are traitors to be discovered and slave catchers to be evaded before Hester and Galen can find the freedom that only true love can bring.

Contains mature themes.

One of my favourite novels

Amazing substantial romance between Hester and Galen, Beverly Jenkins is a superstar, I love her books. Great historical background into anti slavery movement and underground Railroad.

Good story with some lack of attention to detail

I enjoyed this story though the accounts of slave trade and treatment of black people in America was truly shocking.
Jenkins linked in some characters from her Grayson Grove books but Abigail Grayson’s son who she named Eli in subsequent books is called Jake in this book .
Narration a little choppy at times with a not so good French accent

3-D US black history in a sweet caramel sauce

Sophisticated and engrossing fictionalised black US history - clearly based on excellent research - wrapped in the sweet caramel sauce of the Romance genre, including the guaranteed happy ending. Pure pleasure from start to finish.
