He would need help, in more ways than one - thus - the placing of Suga - his most valuable possession - her skills far exceeded many of those whom were purchased simply to fill ones bed.

4.5 StarsI consider this a historical romance first, and the characters happen to be interracial.There were a ton of things that I liked about this book but my primary reason was that story line was just that darn good.

I was a skeptic, I'll admit it. I have strong feelings about the antebellum period and hate (yes, I used the word 'hate') the fluffy period books that somehow suggest that liaisons between female slaves and their masters were in some way voluntary. That whole 'Jefferson in Paris' yarn made me puke, for example. So it was with some trepidation that I decided to read 'The Fancy'. But Mercedes Keyes did a masterful job of navigating this very difficult tale to tell (and sell) of a white man and a
