Always and Forever
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...more

Full disclosure:
I put this in the "Read" shelf but it should be a new shelf called "Stopped Reading". But creating a new shelf is even more effort than I've just expended herein.

Oh, My Gosh...Better and Better...the woman has a gift and I have yet to be disappointed by her historical/romance novels. Once I start reading I can't put it down. Reading this novel I found myself LOL, crying and becoming outraged at the injustice our people had to endure.~~~~~~~Grace had all the characteristic I hope for in a heroine. She was smart, brave, independent and very out-spoken. Her character only improved as the story moved forward. Jacks...more

I love this book. Absolutely, positively, adored it. I have been eagerly awaiting this book since I read Topaz and we were first introduced to Grace and Jackson and their relationship AND THIS BOOK DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Even the fact that 20% of this novel we had seen previously (covered from Katherine's POV in TOPAZ) was not a problem because we got to see different aspects of the women's journey to Kanses City and got to see Grace and Jackson's relationship begin and evolve and...more

I love reading about this period in American history and I absolutely loved these characters. I'm officially a Jenkins lover.

Very good author/writer but the story wasn't for me and didn't hold my interest long enough.
I love all of her books..

It's not even about the romance for me. Jenkins incorporates so much black history, stuff I've never learned in any of the African American classes I studied, that I read just to educate myself. I find myself stopping to google names, locations, and events all the time. She writes well.
And I admit that I loved Grace and Blake from Topaz. I had to read their story. Now I must read Loreli's. Wonder what other history facts I'll learn.

I loved this story and how the heroine was an independent woman of strength and love. Grace and Jackson were on fire!
