Beverly Jenkins’ historical romances have earned her a Golden Pen Award from the Black Writers’ Guild and two Career Achievement Awards from Romantic Times.

Set in 19th-century California, Destiny’s Embrace introduces listeners to ranch owner Logan Yates, who must come to terms with his true feelings for Mariah Cooper, his beautiful, headstrong housekeeper. But just as Logan decides to make Mariah his own, her former lover reenters her life. Now Logan will have to show Mariah that the passion they share has been written in the stars.

Lovely

Oh what a beautiful love story. The heroine was so sassy and clever yet open to love. The hero was so confident, handsome and determined. I loved it! I'm ready for the next book.

Good story, terrible narration.

this was my first Beverly Jenkins book and I enjoyed the story's plot, flow and tone. I hated the narration, as the narrator repeatedly swallowed, made unnecessary and awkward pauses, and missed the tone of the dialogue. I've listened to books by other authors she has performed for, and had a similar experience.

I lived the story and I remember reading Beverly Jenkins Indigo years ago.

I can hear the narrator swallowing all the time. But I did like the story.

I could not turn this off.

I laughed, I frowned, I sat on the edges of my seat. I learned new information and was totally pleased with this story. Can't wait till five into the next book.

Housekeeper was more than a match

I loved this story. The heroine and hero were perfect for each other.
Mariah left her home in search of independence and freedom. Logan has freedom and family but once he met the housekeeper Mariah, he learned that his life was still incomplete. They verbally sparred and vexed each other until they gave into their passion. These two were definitely stronger together. This story was entertaining with bits of history sprinkled in. The emphasis on family and hard work is a continual theme I’ve noticed in Beverly Jenkins novel.
The narrator was spot on and I can’t wait for book 2.

EXCELLENT STORYTELLING

I've been a fan of Beverly Jenkins for a long time. I love that her books have became audio books where now I can just listen to them. Destiny's Embrace is very good and the narration is great too.
