Review: Through the Storm

Through the Storm by Beverly Jenkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the first of the LeVeq Series. Raimond LeVeq and Sable which is the sister of Rhine from the book "Forbidden." Sable is a slave and her mistress, which is the wife of Sable's father decides to sell her off despite her father's rejection. After, Sable's aunt dies in a fire and she learns of her queen ancestry, she escapes with the help of Harriet Tubman that leads her to a freedom camp, where she meets Captain Raimond LeVeq. Raimond is the eldest brother of the LeVeq family. Attraction between the two falls deep, until Sable finds out that her new slave owner is on the camp looking for her, she flees with one of the female workers in the camp and her white associate. Hesitate, Sable takes some of Raimond’s money with the intent of someday paying it back. Now Raimond is mad, not just because she stole the money, but he feels she has betrayed him, and she is a spy; Sable is guilty by association. Sable ends up in New Orleans and encounters Raimond once again and at first, they have this love/hate relationship because he is still mad, but his desire for her never goes away. Because of a situation, Raimond must marry, and through his mother's influence a marriage was arranged between him and Sable. Through everything that happens, Raimond realizes that he cannot live without her. I absolutely loved this book; it was an excellent and unforgettable read. The narrator was good, however sometimes she forgot the accents. ★★★★★

My choice for casting:

 Logan Browning as Sable
 Travis Cure as Raimond
