Took me by surprise

It was good. It just through me off hearing a male voice. I did truly enjoy the story. I was cracking up laughing at times while I was driving by myself. People in the car next to would just stare at me. I almost died when they had to give up the steak
So a paying customer could eat it.
Good book over all

loved it!

i absolutely loved it! i was intrigued from the opening sentences and I couldn't wait to log back in to listen!

Narration is horrible.

I have read all of Beverly Jenkins' books multiple times. The narration of this book is a disservice to a wonderful story. Please consider doing this again with a new narrator.

Great read

Any additional comments?

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Not predictable. Strong characters and ensemble cast. While I am not necessarily a western reader, I loved this story and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good book. The narration was superb.

Not my favorite

I love Beverly Jenkins. I think her books are amazing. This book didn’t touch me like the others. I kind of feel like it was because of the narrator. I don’t know that the story line was weak so much as the narrator did not do a good job of portraying the characters. I was disappointed because normally I can’t get enough and I found myself wanting this one to be over so I could move on to the next.

Interesting story

Night Hawk was a very well rounded and complete story. I really liked Preacher. He was in The Taming of Jessie Rose, and I had no idea that he had his own story. It was a pleasant surprise. Maggie was an okay heroine, though far from being one of my favorites. I think my subtle dislike for her has a lot to do with the narration.

The narrator, Kevin Free, was horrible with the female voices. They all, especially Maggie, sounded like a man trying to sound like a woman, which was creepy. The voices were jarring and continually pulled me out of the story. The whispered voice of Preacher was much better, though I kept expecting to hear him say, “I’m Batman,” in that Michael Keaton way. Other than Preacher, the narrator did not do a good job at varying the voices. At times I wasn’t sure who was speaking.

That being said, I enjoyed the book overall.

Great listen

Beverly Jenkins is a GOAT when it comes to African American historical fiction! This was another great story line with so many twist and turns!

The set of the story in the 1800’s about biracial characters

I like how the meeting of the two main characters developed a wonderful life. Each learning how to love each other.

Delightful

I am a fan of historical romantic novels and Ms Jenkins really knows how to create an exciting tale.

completely captivating

this story gave me life. I completely drift off into a Dreamland in this book. definitely a favorite.
