The Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is only for those over 18 due to the adult nature of the content within.

It is 1864 in South Carolina and slavery is still going strong and any rich person has at least one, whether they treat them well is another story, but Penny is one of the lucky ones and has been brought up more like a family member than a slave, she is allowed to live in the house and be a companion to the families daughter, but one day that all changes. Leon Falcon is the richest man with the largest plantation in South Carolina and possibly in all the nearby states and he treats his slaves well, one day he is visiting a family who is down on their luck, however, when he sees their slave Penny, all he wants is her and nothing else will do, so he makes an offer to her owners and awaits their answer.

As soon as Penny sees Leon Falcon she admires him and thinks that he is the most handsome man she has seen and despite being black and a slave she realises that she wants more from him than he can ever offer her. When Leon returns to Penny’s home, her owners agree to sell her to him and so she packs up her things and leaves with him for Falcon Grove where his plan is to teach her and then take her like every slave master does, however, when he realises that Penny isn’t like the normal slaves he encounters he experiences a change of opinion. Leon realises that he wants to woo her and court her like an equal, however, for a master and a slave, this can never be.

As time goes on and Leon begins to fall harder for Penny than he intended and soon she admits that she feels the same way, but what does their future hold and will they be able to overcome the obstacles their skin colour and the societal values which surround them, or will it all fall apart before it can even really begin? This is a historical romance where love runs strong, but the path is not free of the dangers which threaten everything they are trying to build in this steamy and intoxicating story of forbidden love.
