Shades Of Romance Magazine Review
19 Feb 2003
By Lashaunda C. Hoffman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Reviewed by Brenda Turner
Seventeen year old Josephine Best had a life long dream to own her on beauty shop.
JoJo didn't bother with affairs of the heart, because she had more other important things on her mind. With the war coming to the end, JoJo had her sights set on marketing her hair products. JoJo was not looking for love, when she met George Brooks, a wounded soldier on medical leave. George convinced her to allow him to court her.
Casanova, Adam Morgan has known Josephine most of her life. When he joined the military she was young girl who was always getting trouble. Upon his return, he met a gorgeous, sophisticated, extraordinary young women who stole his heart away.
When Adam found out that the young lady was JoJo his best friend's younger sister he could not believe his eyes. Because his reputation preceded him JoJo had no mind to consider Adam as a beau, even though she was attracted. Both JoJo and Adam tried desperately to stay away from each other. But one kiss let them know that it was impossible. Their heart had already been pierced by cupid's arrow and they had eyes only for each other.
Touché to Ms. Jenkins on this excellent bouquet of emotions. A magnificent romance that brought memories of my first real love. I rated this great piece of art 5***** stars.

A Great Book

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a great story and is somewhat a secondary book to Belle and the Beau.
The leading character in this story is Josephine Best, Daniel younger sister, and is very set in her goals. She owns a hairstyling shop, been to college, and is dating George Brooks who is passive and not really her type.
Then she meets Adam Morgan, Daniel's friend from way back, who is famous for his charm with the ladies. Jojo knows that she can't get caught up in that... but somehow she just cant help it. She tries to resist Adam. But does it work? Do these two who seem destined to be together work it out? Or does this romance fall apart?
I highly recommend this to anyone who love historical romance... definatly a five star book!!

Another wonderful Avon True Romance.
22 Jan 2003
By Rebecca Herman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Josephine Best is seventeen years old, and she has a different plan for her life than most young women her age in 1864. Raised in a progressive free black family that ran a station on the Underground Railroad, Josephine has been encouraged since she was a child to follow her dreams, even if they were not traditional ones for a girl to have. Josephine has attended the Women's Program at Oberlin College and now runs her own hairdressing shop in her hometown. Most of the girls her age are thinking about marriage. Josephine might be too, but she fears if she marries she will be forced to give up her business. Then Adam Morgan returns injured from the war. Adam was one of her older brother Daniel's childhood friends, and tormented her mercilessly when they were both children. But now they're both all grown up and discovering feelings for each other that they never would have expected. Beverly Jenkins has written a second book for the Avon True Romance series that is just as good as her first, Belle and the Beau. I recommend this book to all readers who love the Avon True Romance series.
