(Drumroll, please)
“The Passer” by C. Yvette Spencer
Suzanna loves Cooper. He brought her a new life.
Cooper loves Nina. She understands his anguish.
Nina loves Cooper. But slavery, race, and secrets keep them apart.
Three very different people with their unique jealousies and fears live intimately together symbiotically, until lusty scenes cannot be overlooked, and dangerous denial is discovered.
I liked Suzanna, until I saw her as the “other woman.” I liked Nina and hated that she couldn’t fight for her love, only accept what she could and could not have. And Cooper, the angle where the lines meet, always at a crossroads in his life, love, and freedom.
“She would now rather for him to be a slave and free to love her, than for him to be free, and unable to love a slave.” This quote stunned me in its expression of true love, and it divulges a heartbreaking theme of this book.
This is more than a love story. It is a revelation of twisted love and entangled relationships amidst a background of secrets and slavery.
