Editorial Reviews

Hope Chest Reviews
For the second time in as many months, I have been gifted with a little gem of a read that I don't often see mentioned in romance discussion circles, yet I found it to be so unique in both content and presentation that I can't imagine it not satisfying any romance reader who is looking for something different from the norm.
Vivien Fritsche
The tale that Barbara Samuel tells is exquisite. It is based on the Romeo-and-Juliet theme, but the two star-crossed lovers are not divided by feuding families, but by the even deeper gulf of religion, race and rank. If I were to give A Bed of Spices five stars instead of its well-deserved grade of A, each star would stand for something extraordinary about the book.

    A Keeper

    The original print release of this book spent years safely nestled on my keeper shelf until I loaned it to a friend I thought really needed to read something about forbidden love. This unique and wonderful historical romance is a book for the ages, and I am thrilled that I can now download it to read again and again. Brava, Ms. Samuel! Keep them coming.
