I liked the overall story although there were parts of it that seemed a little unrealistic. For instance, Jessalyn comes home after several years at boarding school to find she has an Aunt she never knew about who is of mixed color living in her house as a cook and she immediately takes to this woman like she has known her all her life. I think, back in the 1800's there might not have been that immediate acceptance. Also, the romance between Jess and Tucker had a lot of bumps that seemed to go away awfully quickly. I did really enjoy the romance between Miss Desta (the Aunt) and Ralph. I wish that could have been explored a little more. Overall it was a good read, held my interest and kept me entertained. I would recommend this book.
I was given a review copy of this book by netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
