The Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Ashley Lape

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

When I read the preface and looked at the cover of the book I knew that this would not be a category I am typically drawn to other than the romance part. Historical Fiction is one I tend to stay clear of because I love history and need the facts to be facts BUT I am very glad I took the chance and read this book. The author gave the book a great balance of both history and fiction.
Penny was bought to keep only child Rose company while growing up. Penny was still a slave and did have responsibilities but she was Rose’s best friend first. When Mr. Conrad needs to repay the loan Mr. Falcon lent him there is no way he will have the full amount in time, so Mr. Conrad begs him that he can take anything he sees on his plantation that he wants. Never did Mr. Conrad think that the only way the loan would be repaid would leave his daughter hating him for the rest of her life.
When Penny first lays eyes on Leon Falcon she was smitten. However, it would never be more than a slave/Master relationship due to the current treatment of slaves in the south in 1864. But Penny sure could fantasize.
I love the way the author took the time to develop the story between Leon and Penny. It might have been the fiction part of the story but it was still a great mix of historical fiction. Most definitely worth the read!!
