BOOK: Plantation Affair
AUTHOR: Gregory Jonathan Scott
GENRE: m/m, historical, romance
RELEASED: 18th March 2014
During a time when love between two chaps was not spoken of, Deklan and Logan found a way to bring their affair of the heart to life. One was the white son of a wealthy Plantation owner, and the other a black servant who worked the property to survive.
This romantic fairytale took place in the deep south of Georgia in the late eighteenth century where horse carriages and kerosene lighted lanterns brought a town to life. Deklan and Logan’s affair was ignited one night with the help of a mysterious man who magically appeared and then disappeared without a trace after leading them into the realms of love.
Love was found, Love was lost and then Love was found again in a spiraling and uplifting fairytale between two lovable beings that were meant to be in love.
REVIEW
Foxy Rating = four stars
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest review
I really loved the concept of this historical m/m read. It
was a sweet and intense read that I completed in one sitting.
It’s based in the Deep South in the eighteenth century where
men having relationships with other men, let alone of different ethnicity and
class was definitely not favoured. Deklan is the white son of the rich plantation
owner, Logan is the mixed race servant who is berated by his fellow workers.
This is roughly based on the classic fairy tale, Cinderella,
with its own version of a fairy god mother (in this case a fairy god father) who
appears to guide Logan on the night Deklan is to choose a bride. He supplies Logan with clothes to wear, a
pendant and a ring in order to go see Deklan. At midnight Deklan finds himself alone with a
ring his beloved left behind. And that is where the fairy tale ends as once
Deklan finds Logan again, they are both at the mercy of the bigotry of the era.
It was a lovely descriptive read that encapsulates the
surroundings and aura of the setting for the reader. The characters are well developed, believable and likable.
I’m not a fan of historical romance usually however I found this
to be an eye opener and a lovely story to be told. A four star read for me.
Gregory Jonathan Scott was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he met and shared a life with Scott that began just out of high school. Meeting by chance in Grand Rapids before relocating to South Florida where they live now with their lovable Shetland sheepdog and a sweet stray cat that showed up one day and decided to make their house a home.
As a child, Gregory was always told he had a creative imagination and the artistic ability to turn a blank canvas into an eye catching work of art. Shortly after high school graduation, and together with his true love Scott, discovered the thrill of pottery and ceramic art. Here is where the two of them opened a business for ceramists that quickly exploded before their eyes as the number one location for any hobbyist, storefront and scholastic industry looking for supplies related to ceramics and pottery. During this time, Gregory was approached by art magazines to write short articles and educational columns pertaining to the ceramic artistry.
Captivating readers by his writing style grew fast, which ignited his desire to express himself further. From there, it began. Finding a love for writing, alongside his artistic hand, gave him inspiration to design and write this M/M romance Novel.
Gregory Jonathan Scott mostly enjoys writing M/M suspense novels mixed with bouts of Romance.
Gregory and Scott are still together and are currently enjoying home life in South Florida.
