‘“Or change it,” a male’s voice boomed with authority, but also had a soft edge that pulled you out of the lush surroundings and made you feel at home. “That’s what I’d do.” Colton Sage came into view, those frost-blue eyes immediately hitting Zenni’s soul. “Well, you must be Zenni Parker.” His graze caressed her curves.’
You may be able to guess what their motives are both romantically and with the plantation. But better you keep your suspicions to yourself and enjoy this well written book.

“I can’t believe this.” Twenty-nine-year-old Zenni Parker paced in the living room of her short-term rental, screaming to her best friend Vanessa Thompson over the phone. “Colton Sage is going to tear down the Everwood Plantation! He wants to demolish it and build townhouses or something.” “Good.” Vanessa chewed on something and Zenni guessed it was orange slices, since she loved eating them for breakfast. “I hope he blows it to smithereens and people forget it ever existed.” “No.” Zenni rubbed her forehead as she walked over her ivory carpet on bare feet. “V, this isn’t a good thing.” “Tell me how the hell it’s not! This is a damn plantation. Where slaves, your own family ancestors, by the way, were held in captivity and treated like animals. Colton wants to destroy it. How can that not be a good thing?” “Because it’s still history.” Zenni plopped down on the suede couch. “Of course, slavery was ugly but it’s still an important part of our lives. As a black woman, keeping that history alive is important.” “Well as a black woman, I’d burn the damn thing down myself. I couldn’t even stand to drive past the place without becoming enraged so I don’t see how you can defend it.” “It’s a part of my family history. My entire family, all dead now, shall I remind you, came from Everwood County. Came from that plantation and despite the horrible things that happened there, it’s a part of this town. It’s a part of me. I can’t let Colton just tear it down so he can throw up condos for his rich-ass friends, no.” “How you gonna stop him?” Vanessa chewed. “Colton Sage is one of the richest men in the world. He comes from a long line of wealth, old money. He’s Georgia royalty and from what I’ve heard, doesn’t he practically own Everwood County?” “That plantation belongs to the town, not Colton Sage.” Zenni sat back, chewing her lip. “He thinks because he has money he can do whatever the hell he wants. Well he can’t here. I’m the only one who can stand up for that plantation and I will.”
Everwood County Plantation: BWWM Enemies to Lovers Billionaire Romance by Stacy-Deanne. If the title and cover don’t give you enough of an idea about the story, then the excerpt above certainly should paint the picture for you. This is an enemies to lovers romance, with BWWM, chemistry, passion, steam, secrets, challenges, conflict, banter, flirting, and finding love unexpectedly. Colton wants to tear down an old plantation and develop it into modern condos. Zenni’s history is tied to the historical landmark and she will do everything she can to prevent it from being destroyed. A clash of wills ensues. Sparks fly. And passion is unleashed. Who wins this battle of wills? What happens when everything is said and done? Will the plantation survive the battle ahead? What happens when love complicates matters further? You will need to read the book if you want to find out how everything plays out in the end. This is a short story, which made for a very quick and easy read. But, I would liked to have read a longer version of this story as I think more detail, depth, and development would have allowed me to connect with the characters more easily and also allowed me the time to settle into their story, which would have given me more of an opportunity to invest in the characters and their story. I really wanted to like this story a lot more than I did, as I have read other books by Stacy-Deanne and loved them- but I found it too hard to connect with this story and these characters- especially in the beginning with all the quarrelling that ensued. But, having said that, I am looking forward to seeing what Stacy-Deanne does next.
