Hudson Collection - (On Central Park) by Jocelyn Green (Hardcover)

“Eugenics is hogwash. The self-directed evolution in the quest of a ‘perfect human product’? Absolute rubbish. You were made in the image of God, and so was every other person. Once you start reducing people to measurements and heredities, you strip them of their dignity. We aren’t livestock. We have souls." 5 stars for this book! First of all, I want to say I really appreciated the author's stance on the subject of eugenics in this book, and how the so-called science clashed with what God's word says about who we are- made in His perfect image, chosen, worthy and loved. The cast of characters was excellent, the story intriguing, and the mystery woven in was the perfect finishing touch. Also, kudos to the cover designer, this book cover is gorgeous! Elsa was a character I loved, and could easily relate to. She was very interesting, and I loved her dedication to ornithology as well as her care and concern for others. She had a lot of grit despite her condition, and she tried her best not to let it get her down. Luke was a great male lead, and just the sweetest guy. I can't say a whole lot about him because of potential spoilers, but he was a fine gentleman and had a neat redemptive backstory. He was compassionate and was a good friend to both Tom and Elsa. Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book: "...I will always be your safe place to land. I can’t give you wings, but I’ll be your solid ground.” The Hudson Collection was a sweet and clean, slow burn, closed door romance that I loved and definitely recommend! Thanks to the publisher for the complimentary e-book I received to review through Interviews and Reviews. I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts above are solely my own.
