It's one of those books; so amazingly bad that it's good. It's slavesploitation, with plenty of steamy miscegenation that somehow isn't supposed to be rape, but...

My sister & I loved this with the perversity that could only have come from having just watched all of Roots when it first aired. It just appealed to our very sick senses of humor to read this, which ought to have been entitled, "De Mizztress Ob Fahconhoist".

Did I mention that it's all written in 'authentic' ante-bellum slave & master dialect? Whether you're black, white, or other, this is really only for folks with a sick sense of humor. That would be me.

This is an unusual book in the Falconhurst series. The book is all about a slave named Lucretia Borgia. She is a wonderful cook and, in time, overseer of many of the slaves on the plantation. She is a favorite of her owners, Warren and his son, Hammond Maxwell. She feels she doesn’t receive her due recognition. A slave named Omar, a half-Mandingo is brought to the plantation and she wants him lustily. But to have him as a partner, she will have to hide her activities with him from her master who has absolutely forbidden it. If he finds out…

Except for the fact that we are dealing with slavery, this is a rather pastoral drama without a firm plot until the last hundred pages. It is still worthy of four stars, however, as the novel is immersive.
