Body and Soul by David doc Robertson (5 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Second Edition! Probably the best book you'll read in 2019 with its brilliant twist! Relive the life of Adam Daniels, born bi-racial in the Jim Crow South in 1940. Raised by his Negro grandparents and other extended family members. A year earlier, his mother knew how wrong it was to breach the "Whites Only" sign in front of her but crossed that line anyway, thinking about all the rich white girls who desired what she had without even trying. And then there was Adam, who at birth, looked like he didn't have a "colored" bone in his body and shunned by both sides. White folks thought his mother was his wet nurse, and her new beau gave her a choice. Growing up colored, he gradually learned of the family legacy of fighting hatred and tragedy. His grandparents walked a very thin tightrope during those times. They faced unashamed racism and gave up in the search for faith since having it couldn't save them from despair. He knew what love was from the examples he witnessed at home, where he learned the rewards of success. Adam saw both as a child and while becoming a man, when he learned that passion could come without love, but it was better the other way around. Family and friends surround Adam in manhood and refuse to allow him to forget the strength he inherited as a Daniels. His survival and happiness, however, ultimately falls upon him.

This Angel Bites by Jill Ireland (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This book is the finale of the Alphabitch series, that focuses on the Hutton children; Harlequin and Hollister. It may be read as a stand alone book, but due to the mountain of preceding events, I would recommend the previous books to add clarity. The original book chronicles the adventures of Charlie Hutton as she navigates the confining and confounding Victorian age in which she finds herself, where she has been accidentally propelled in a time travel experiment. She returns to her 1980's home in La Jolla California with Conner FitzGerald, who becomes collateral damage as an unwitting companion. The second book, Heart-On continues the tumultuous relationship as he adjusts to the modern world and his hostess, as their love and attraction deepens, in spite of the impossibility of a relationship. They originate in utterly different societies and are as unsuited as two people could be, but the romance persists through centuries, past and future, culminating in the final book that ends in mid two thousand.
