67. Beyond the Lavender Fields by Arlem Hawks

*Dramatic, deep voice-over* The year is 1792. The French Revolution is causing terror throughout France. Amidst the blood and fighting, is it possible for love to bloom? What will one young man do when pulled between his belief in the need for change and his love for a beautiful Royalist? Find out this week on the next episode of CHECKED OUT *dramatic pause* AND OVERDUE.

This historical fiction romance by Arlem Hawks tells the story of a young Jacobin as he learns compassion in a political environment that values hard lines. Listen as Chelsea and Taryn discuss a political enemies-to-lovers story with enough swooning moments to almost make you forget about the turmoil that threatens to keep them apart.
