A desperate need

Sassy Grace Atwood never expected to find her proper self accidentally tumbling into a stranger's bed. If she weren't desperate for a man to lead a wagon train of brides to a woman-starved town out West, she never would have gone near Jackson Blake-former lawman or not. She should send the ruggedly charming Texan packing...only he's perfect for the job. Now if her mind would just stop going blank every time she looked at him, they might get this train to Kansas yet.

A comsuming passion

What's a man to do when a beautiful woman leans over his bed in the middle of the night? Come to think of it, that was the only time Blake's ever seen the straitlaced Miss Atwood the least bit ruffled. He's certain that beneath her buttoned-up appearance lies a passionate woman aching to break free. But though Blake longs to take her in his arms, all he can offer Grace is a life on the run. And when the demons from his past catch up with them, Blake is couaght between the ties that bind and a love that could last...always and forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Closer I Get To You! 12 Oct 2000
By Sean D. Young - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you are a big Beverly Jenkins fan, then you will love Always and Forever. This books was done in a way that only Beverly Jenkins can.

We met Grace Atwood and Jackson Blake in the book Topaz. I loved Grace, she didn't allow anyone to have her back against the wall. She could go with the best of them.

Jackson was on the run and had been for years. When Grace asks him to become the wagonmaster for about 35 mail-order brides, he felt this would be his opportunity to go back to his hometown and get his business straight. What Jackson hadn't planned on was Grace lighting his fire and BOY did she.

Some familiar characters from Beverly's previous books are present: Griffin (Jackson's brother) from the Taming of Jessi Rose and Mr. and Mrs. Dix and Katherine Wildhorse from Topaz.

As usual you get a wonderful history lesson. If you have not read any of Ms. Jenkins books, then start with Night Song, Vivid, Indigo, Topaz, Through the Storm, and The Taming of Jessi Rose. Make sure you have a cool glass of ice water, you will definitely need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars When one door closes another one opens! 4 Sep 2000
By Latasha Ceasar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Hot, Hot, Hot! This novel was another masterpiece written by Beverly Jenkins. I absolutley loved the story plot and the characters in this latest novel. I enjoyed the professional status that Grace Atwood held in the novel, and the way the two characters ended up together. It was apparent that Grace felt heartbroken being left at the altar, but she couldn't have begun to imagine what lay on the other side of the door for her. Passion, and Love like she had never known. As always the History in the novel is so enligthning. Beverly you are number one on my list as favorite authors! Keep up the good work, and hurry up with the next one!

4.0 out of 5 stars I always look forward to this author's books. 3 Jan 2001
By Dera R Williams - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I always purchase Beverly Jenkins' books when they are released and hold onto them until I have some relaxed uninterrupted time. That time was over the Xmas holidays when I was on vacation. It has been sunny here in the Bay Area and I wanted to get out in it but I had a hard time moving in the morning for two days straight because I was engrossed with this book. We met the protagonists Grace Atwood and Jackson Blake in "Topaz" another great book where we met Katherine and Dix Wildhorse. Grace has commissioned Jackson to lead a caravan of mail-order brides from Chicago to Kansas where there is a new black settlement in 1884. Kate is a lady banker from the representative black community in Chicago. Representative is what Dubois called the talented tenth. We see here that after the Civil War that all blacks were not scruffling out a living ath the mercy of whites. There were people like Grace who could trace their lineage for several generations and came from free people of color as well as slaves and who were well off economically. Jackson came from Texas where he was raised by his preacher father from a meager background. Jackson was a lawman and when his father was murdered by the Rebs he wanted to avenge his death only to be run out of Texas to save his life. Now it has been ten years and he wants to go back and clear his name and now the hellion Grace his up in his face demanding he escort the brides. They are both so stubborn and headstrong they butt heads at every end but their attraction is undeniable and fiery. Although this is historical fiction, Jenkins weaves actual black historical events and characters into the storyline. She tells about Jean Baptiste DuSable, a black Frenchmen, who discovered Chicago. We hear about the Black Seminoles and a little of their history. We meet Frederick L. Barnett, a black newspaperman who found the Conservator at a ball. African American history is viewed here not only from a slavery prospective but shows the strides and gains blacks made before, during, and after the war. I am eagerly awaiting the next book.
