Summary: GREAT BOOK! TEACHES A LESSON TO EVERYONE
Review: This is a great book to read. I have never read anything printed by Beverly Jenkins, but now that I have, I recommend her to everyone. I could not put the book down, it was a lesson in history as well as a great romance story. Ms. Jenkins did an excellent job in creating the characters of Chase of Cara Lee. I went to the library to get all the books by this author. I will be adding her to my list of favorite authors.

Summary: The Soldier and the Schoolmarm Sizzle
Review: This is the first of Beverly Jenkins' historical African-American novels set in the late 1800s. The story of Buffalo soldier Chase Jefferson and small town school teacher Cara Lee Henson has something for everyone. "Night Song" is the last of Jenkins' works I read. As a result I was able to track her development as a romance novelist through her four published books. She gets better and better. There are aspects of a Jenkins book I've come to expect: strong historical narrative, strong interpersonal relationships between characters, a visual narrative (you can actually SEE the novel unfold), a bibliography for more information, funny dialogue and an unconventional wedding scene. If you think romance novels are predictable and monolithic, Beverly Jenkins' work will be a satisfying shock to your system.

Summary: UNFORGETABLE...both romantically and historically!
Review: This was one of the most exciting love stories I have read...and I've read scores. I think the reason this story is so powerful is that it is totally believable.

Summary: OH MY GOD!
Review: You can believe when I say because this book took me to the heights in love and history. I kept putting my name in place of Cara because I knew that Chase would definitely find me more interesting. Beverly Jenkins is the greatest writer there has to be when it comes to African Americans and love. Night Song was a Triumph!
