The Preacher's Paramour

Written by Kianna Alexander

Narrated by Marissa Hampton

A Woman Who Knows Her Own Mind
Prudence Emerson doesn't have time for romantic entanglements. She's taken a job at the mercantile and is saving money to attend school at Oberlin. That is until the Reverend Derrick Chase rides into town to start a new church. Her good friend Lilly Warren invites her to a service at Enduring Faith Moravian church, and the die is cast. She can't deny her attraction to him, and the handsome mulatto preacher obviously returns the feelings. Should she change her plans to explore a relationship with him? Or will being the preacher's paramour lead to nothing but pain?

A Man of The Cloth- With A Past
Reverend Derrick Chase, a Moravian pastor, is newly settled in Ridgeway, over 3,000 miles away from where he grew up in North Carolina. He came to California hoping to put distance between himself, and a dark past he has no desire to revisit. But the tall, beautiful Prudence Emerson gets his heart pounding every time she's near. She's an honorable woman, and he won't soil her reputation. But another thing he won't do is let her slip through his fingers. Can he love her without drawing her into the dangerous web of his secret past?

Reviews for The Preacher's Paramour

Very quick and interesting read. It’s a fun story about the love, background with education on slave liberation in America. Good if you are looking to pass the time with a chuckle

This was a great listen! It was my first time listening to a book in the historical fiction category, but I enjoyed it. I’m not sure if these blended communities actually existed during that period, so that part of the story felt like it suspended reality, but it didn’t take away from the story - it actually made me hope that free Blacks and Whites actually did live in harmony in the same town back then. In a way, the story felt like it ended relatively quickly, but I could totally see this version being turned into a screenplay without taking any aspects of the story away. Glad I gave this one a chance!

Oh, and while the reader’s voice wasn’t annoying, it did feel like she was reading a little methodically and quickly at times, but otherwise, it was good.

Love the traditional romance novel format, with a historical twist , truly a good read.
