His Topaz, Their Emerald and Her Ebony will fit the bill. I look forward to seeing what Maggie Chase writes next." - Jennifer Porter, Romance Novel News"One of the most amazing erotica series I have ever read." - Erin Penn, Goodreads"I like that this book tackled some unusual issues for a story set in the old west. An interracial, lesbian relationship is definitely something you don't see everyday in a typical western romance. But in the Jeweled Ladies series, everybody gets a happy ending, no matter what their circumstances." - Goodreads reviewer Mary Dieterich
