I loved the Community aspect of this book. blacks coming together and being protective over one another, definitely not like today. The relationship between Nate and Dr Viveca was enchanting and smoldering hot! I liked the family dynamics of the Graysons and Abigails defiance of Mr. Crowley. She taunted that man for years. The rich history lessons told throughout the book were fantastic, native people, scholars, politicians, and the game,lacrosse. All very wonderful. I would recommend this book to people who don't mind a little history mixed in with their historical romance. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieGrayson Family (1)
It's 1876 and Dr. Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to set up a practice in the small all-black community of Grayson Grove, Michigan, she leaves her California home and heads east. The very determined Viveca knows all about fighting for her rights. But she may need more than determination to face down the distractingly handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed mayor. Nate Grayson goes to the train station expecting Dr. V. Lancaster to be a man. But when the lovely, dark-skinned Viveca introduces herself, he is at first speechless, then orders her back on the train and out of his town! It's 1876 and women aren't supposed to be doctors, men are. However, Nate isn't prepared for this extraordinary beauty's stubbornness and fire, nor for the vivid way she heals-then steals-his heart. Contains mature themes. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

A historical romanc but more.
Includes lots of historical facts in detailed story form. An example is the establishment of the first black church. And the selling of slave brothers and sisters.
Not something I expected in a romance novel. I felt like I was attending a lecture at times and it distracted s bit from the story itself.
Doctor Viveca Lancaster travels to Grayson Grove, Michigan to become the town’s doctor. Nate Grayson wasn’t aware he was hiring a female doctor and isn’t pleased when Vivid arrives. But she sure is pretty and seems to know how to help folks he sees quickly.
The romance of Vivid and Nate is inevitable as they both are attracted to each other. That Nate has a child already make Vivid’s heart melt.
After the half way mark, the couple is intimate as often as they can be. The scenes are detailed once Vivid learns of La Petit Morte. The little death is managed often considering the couple is only engaged.
Complications arise through a hawk, a sister, another doctor and a threat to the children.
I’d say it’s a sweeping saga because it does seem to cover years but in reality no more than a couple of years.
Excerpt:
“Vivid’s partner in crime had been her late Grandmother Maria, founder of the Female Plotting Rebelling Society. Grandmother Maria believed that all females regardless of age, race or circumstances should always be plotting rebellion to better the state of women. Vivid had been raised as a practicing co-conspirator.”
