Publisher's Summary
Josephine "Jojo" Best has it all figured out. Just 17, she's been to college, she has her own hairdressing shop, and nothing will distract her from her goals. That is, until handsome George Brooks begins to pursue her. Then the return of her childhood nemesis complicates her life even further!
No girl is immune to Adam Morgan's charm. But when a wound brings him home from the War Between the States, it's a girl he used to call "Pest" who's turning the tables. All grown up, Jojo is being courted by another soldier, and Adam knows it would be foolish to play with her heart, but he just can't get the ugly duckling turned swan off his mind.
Jojo, too, can't deny her growing feelings for Adam. But he's always been such a flirt - how can she take him seriously? He can't possibly be serious about her. Besides, she has George falling all over himself to please her. As the war rages on, Adam's feelings for Jojo grow stronger, but Jojo's determination to resist him does, too. One thing is clear, though: Jojo is a girl who always gets what she wants, even when she doesn't know what it is!

Loved this sweet and tame tale
This was the second book I ever read by Beverly Jenkins , and I remember being so sad when I turned the last (yes an actual page). There were no other recommended books by Ms. Beverly besides Belle and I was crestfallen. Both stories we're sweet and fascinating with all the historical gems sprinkled throughout. These were also my first Romance type novels so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them. Needless to say I was ecstatic to learn there was a treasure trove of adult historical romance novels by the wonderful Ms. Jenkins, I devoured every one, and soon found that I could begin reliving the magic via audiobooks. Many of the early ones were narrated by talented and skilled narrators that brought each character to life in a unique way. However here lately these narrators for the most recent books recorded are awful drab and in some cases monotone. This particular narrator Adenrele Ojo all the male characters sounded the same and very week her voice does not insight the strength and passion that we expect from our leading men in Ms. Jenkins books. PLEASE SOMEONE STOP CASTING WOMEN TO READ, GIVE US BACK THOMAS PENNY!!!

Cute PG Romance
This was a cute PG romance. I like my romance a lot more steamy, but this was well written and beautifully performed by Adenrele Ojo.

Promising but unpolished
Interesting plot with refreshing historical context. Some of the writing was a bit stilted and didn't always flow well, but I liked the plot and characters. The narrator used a somewhat sing-song voice, stressing words randomly, and mispronouncing some.

Pleasant Read
The narration for this project was great. The story was sluggish. The plot was a bit dull at first, but eventually the characters built on each other to create an enjoyable story.

My favorite story
I remember reading this book when I was teen years ago and fell in love with Adam and Josephine. Today, I decided to reread it again now that I’m an adult and its still as amazing as it was when I first read it. I highly recommend this book.

Heart warming love story
I really enjoyed the flow of the developing love story. It was innocent and pure and showed the bonds of friendship and coming of age. Beverly Jenkins is a favorite author of mines.

JoJo
Good story. Yes, predictable, but good escapism for commuters. I did Belle right before this, so I got to continue with some of the characters.
