Royal Passion far exceeded my expectations and has made me a bigger fan of Jennifer Blake. I reviewed a book from her Louisiana History collection earlier and was impressed. Royal Passion is set thousands of miles away, and has a rich historic backdrop. Mara has been brought up as the daughter of a plantation owner.…
