This was a page turner that never got boring and kept me engaged. Will Dominic LeVeq do it? Will Clare remain free? Will Eduard and Nancine receive their due? The planning and plotting to rescue Clare’s children began in chapter eleven. The vivid description of the Cuba homestead of Dominic was breathtaking. The controversial ruling didn’t force slave owners in the colonies to free their captives, it did call into question the legality of bringing captives into England. The British judge presiding over the case declared slavery to be so odious that not even law could support it.
Once again, Jenkins has introduced historical facts into the story, such as a slave named James Somerset who’d won his freedom back in 1772. The dark stories temporarily distracts and transforms you by the romance between the two main characters, whom It appears that the black and or African male has so much to risk in their everyday lives for survival and freedom of being, either in the past or now and the future. The capturing and selling of children by slavers from the continent of Africa was a reality that we have endured in our legacy. The background stories of the crewman is great storytelling. I enjoyed the pirate, Dominic LeVeq and Clare Sullivan. I’m truly a fan and will continue reading her books packed with her great writing skills. Captured is the third book in the series, and then the characters segway into the Woman Who dare series. The LeVeq series is all about the characters, and it’s historical facts. Well, this rings true with Beverly Jenkins’ novels. Historical fiction is one of my most favorite reads, coupled with romance, mystery and true events makes for good storytelling. Beverly Jenkins is the recipient of the 2018 Michigan Author Award by the Michigan Library Association, the 2017 Romance Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as the 2016 Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award for historical romance.
