Oh goodness. I really love these stories. They’re historical fictional romance. But as the series progresses and you delve into some of the other characters, it is a sprawling epic!!
The brotherhood of men in these stories just make my heart stumble. The community! The culture! The historical accuracy!!! I am in love! These stories are checking all my boxes. We always read of the brutality of slavery times. Sometimes in the hands of the right author you get the resilience and power. But Vassar is unmatched. You get it all and it’s so satisfying to read.
This story ended a bit oddly for me, but I’m still giving it high marks. I absolutely enjoyed everything else. The last 10% of this story was a cry fest! But the best kinda cry! I love these characters. Looking forward to the last three books. If something happens to any of our core characters, I will be CRUSHED! I love them all. Like family. These books are a pleasant surprise.
