The author says she wasn't sure she could write historical fiction ... but I am so glad she decided to try! This was a wonderful story full of history. I could taste the sweets, see the buildings, feel the weight of the gowns! Such a fascinating time period -- one that few of us probably know anything about. Lottie's story will stay with me.Product details

Because You Loved Me edition by Christa Allan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Wonderful historical romance! I loved the setting in New Orleans, where I was born. The story is about the challenges of a forbidden love between a young white woman of noble birth and her lifelong friend, a man of mixed race. The book showcases the time period in the 1800's when wealthy white men had mistresses of different races that they took care of in lives of privilege, along with their children that resulted from the affairs. It's a time when men and women of color were not considered equal to those of white birth. Lottie is a young woman who is expected to be presented to society, so that she can be married off to the wealthy man of her grandparent's choosing. When she realizes she really loves her long-time friend, Gabriel, she is heartbroken, because she knows she can never be with him. He is the son of a colored woman and her provider, a white man of noble birth. It gets really suspenseful in the story, as Lottie starts helping slaves find the road to freedom, and she also helps others learn to read, which is illegal. It's amazing the circumstances she finds herself in, and it's a book that is very hard to put down. I highly recommend this one.
I cannot remember what this book is like. Why do I have to write 20 words to get off this page.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was a lot of things I learned from it that I did not know.
Too much sex couldn’t get into it very tedious didn’t read
I appreciates the attention to historical detail. The author had excellent descriptions, but I was unable to get as invested in the characters as I wanted to. A novel geared more to young adults with an ending I had figured out far too early.
I absolutely loved this book. I was hesitant because I’m not into historical fiction. Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. I loved the twists & turns of the lives of these people. I will read historical fiction again & anything this author writes!
I loved walking the streets of historic New Orleans...the characters come alive in a relatable way. I certainly look forward to more books by Christa Allan!
