Synopsis

Belle Palmer is finally free! Separated from her father on the harrowing escape, Belle is lost and alone until she finds shelter with the Bests, the first free family she's ever known. For the first time in her sixteen years, Belle can speak her mind—except for her feelings for a certain dark-eyed young man—The Beau.

Educated and handsome, at eighteen, Daniel Best is engaged to the prettiest (if a little spoiled) girl around. So when the bedraggled girl his parents take under their wing suddenly turns into a vibrant, lovely young woman, his attraction to her is a complete—and complicated—surprise.

That the two belong together is undeniable, but caught between conscience and attraction, could it possibly happen?

So stinkin cute and fluffy! I haven’t seen or read much YA historical romances so when I came across this I was intrigued.

What took me so long?! NOBODY does historical romance like Beverly Jenkins. She is the best. I've read all of her historicals with the exception of Belle and Josephine. Both books are YA and I didn't think I'd be interested. When I saw that both books were being 're-released, I thought 'Why not?' Bes......more

Goodreads review by Cheryl on January 10, 2011
