![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ten points for Gryffindor.įor his part, Malcolm doesn’t dismiss Ellen’s legitimate concerns about an interracial romance out of hand. ![]() She openly addresses the obstacles that lay ahead in a relationship with Malcolm. While there is the usual romance push/pull dynamic, the couple talks with one another. She delivers a thoughtful, sensitive story that respects both the hero and heroine.Įllen is smart, assertive, and, best of all, communicative. Once more for emphasis: this is an interracial romance between a “slave” and a “Confederate soldier” set in the American South during the Civil War. If you’re already making a list of just how sideways this book could go, you would not be amiss.Ĭole doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Her latest mission, posing as a domestic slave in a Confederate household, puts her in the path of Confederate soldier Malcolm McCall, an undercover union operative. The short version: Ellen Burns uses her eidetic memory to serve the Union cause. That’s how much faith I had that I was going to like it.Īn Extraordinary Union did not disappoint. I paid a full sawbuck for this e-book, y’all. I did like her historical short story Agnes Moor’s Wild Knight so when An Extraordinary Union came up for pre-order, I didn’t hesitate. Her Off the Grid trilogy is especially popular, but the post-apocalyptic setting isn’t my favorite. Alyssa Cole is an author well-liked by other authors I like. ![]()
