“Jenkins’s sassy heroines, well-drawn secondary characters and seamless incorporation of black history result in a fresh, winning historical.” –Publishers Weekly
“Beverly Jenkins has reached romance superstardom!” –Detroit Free Press
It's 1876 and Dr. Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to set up a practice in the small all Black community of Grayson Grove, Michigan she leaves her California home and heads east. The very determined Viveca is one of the few nineteenth century Black women to graduate from the prestigious Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, so she knows all about fighting for her rights. But she may need more than determination to face down the distractingly handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed mayor.
Nate Grayson goes to the train station expecting Dr. V. Lancaster to be a man. Of course he does. But when the lovely dark-skinned Viveca introduces herself, he is at first speechless…then full of some very loud and very choice words, ordering her back on the train and out of his town! It's 1876 and women aren't supposed to be doctors, men are. Nate Grayson is prepared to fight for that belief.
However, he isn't prepared for this extraordinary beauty’s stubbornness and fire, nor for the vivid way she heals, then steals his heart.

Vivid edition by Beverly Jenkins Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Dr. Viveca Lancaster was looking eagerly for her chance to finally put her hard earned medical certification to work, armed with her signed contract and lots of enthusiasm.
Until she meets Nathaniel Grayson of The Grove who had the final say it she would be staying, he didn't believe that a woman could treat his people adequately. Dr. Viveca Lancaster sure bad her work cut out for herself, could she prevail against these odds.
You really can't go wrong with Beverly Jenkins. One of the things I love most about her writing other than the obvious tie-ins to African American Culture and contributions to America across generations is how she connects her characters over her stories and the generational stories of strength and perseverance are passed down. Would that our oral histories continued to be maintained in this fashion!! We'd likely see a lot less arbitrary misdeeds if we felt empowered by our past. Read the Edge of Midnight to meet Viveca's many times great granddaughter Sarita! She is also one of the strong African American female characters that has become synonymous with Ms. Jenkins' writing. You will also meet the descendants of her Indigo characters as well. I will continue to pray that Ms. Jenkins lives a long healthy life and continues to enrich us with the history lesson she provides in such an entertaining package!
Having read most of Beverly Jenkins' historical fiction romances, I knew that I would enjoy Vivid. What I did not know was how remarkable the story would be! Vivica Lancaster is one of the strongest characters I've ever read about, and not only is she a beautiful, intelligent doctor, she is feisty and determined; qualities which soon melt the hearty of the town's biggest skeptic of women. How does she do it? Well, you'll just have to read the book to find out! You won't be disappointed! Bravo Beverly Jenkins, for yet another literary masterpiece!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this historical romance that told the story of a African American female physician in the 1900s. Vivica responds to an ad for a physician in a small Michigan Black community. She travels across country to on her own only to realize that the local community leader did not realize she was a woman. Not only was he suspicious of female physicians but he also did not believe she would stay through the harsh Michigan winter. In the telling of this story about her struggle towards acceptance in a small town and the discovery of a true love you learn some history of Black female physicians and other female pioneers in various professions. The story has history, mystery, love and a wonderful view of life of a black community free of the drama often associated with literature about this time in history. Well developed characters and good writing.
This book was awesome! Miss Beverly Jenkins did an outstanding job. I loved it. Although, there were a few mistakes made by the editor. If I remember correctly the Black Daniel’s name was Galen. Not Casey or whatever the name change was. It threw me off for a few minutes. Nevertheless I still really enjoyed the book. Wouldn’t accept anything short of amazing where Ms. Jenkins is concerned. I look forward to reading more of her work.
When Viveca (referred to as Vivid by her family) arrives in Grayson Grove after a long train ride from San Francisco, she meets up with mayor Nate Grayson. Their first meeting is challenging, to say the least.
Nate has sworn off love after a failed marriage and he immediately notices Vivid's beauty. He mistakes her for an "undecent woman" but is proven wrong when she produces documents stating that she is the doctor hired to practice medicine in his town.
As the story unfolds, Nate is unsure if Vivid is a good fit for the town and lets her stay on trial basis. Vivid is offered the chance to change his mind about a female physician. Eventually, Nate realizes that Vivid is a wonderful doctor and that he can't run from love.
Vivid is a wonderful heroine. She's a smart ass (in a good way), poker playing, rifle carrying, intelligent, hard working doctor. She came from a home where her parents taught her to be independent and make her own choices. Reading about her experience traveling from California in 1976 was awesome. As always, Ms. Jenkins transports me right into her character's world.
And then there's Nate Grayson. First, let me start by saying I didn't think I could love a man more than Galen Vachon, the hero in Ms. Jenkins' novel, Indigo. BUT let me tell you about Mr. Grayson—steely gray eyes, tall, strong, dark skinned, and a pair of sexy specs. HOT! He's mysterious, but intriguing. And I can't forget the fact that he is a loving father to his daughter, Magic. After a while in Grayson Grove, Vivid can't resist him and who could blame her?
This book is another all-time favorite of mine. The scenery, the budding romance between two opposites, the colorful people of Grayson Grove, and even the danger lurking around the corner are all reasons to love Vivid. Ms. Jenkins weaves a tale of acceptance and unconditional love while giving us important history lessons about Black physicians, politics, and the Western part of Michigan among other things. By the end, I had bitten off my nails in anticipation of my 'happily ever after.' Vivid was a great ride, from beginning to end.
