Belonging by Nancy Minnis Damato is the second book in the trilogy of the Taylor women. This story takes off where The Pawn left off where you follow Josie’s daughter Taylor. Taylor struggles with the lies that her mother told about her father and her need to find out who her father is. Meanwhile she uses what her mother taught her about business and makes a life for herself. As her journey continues she realizes why her mother lied to protect her.
Sometimes when you reading a trilogy you have to reread the book to figure how the 2nd book fits in. I am very happy that didn’t happen with the Belonging. It literally picked up where The Pawn left off. There was no new characters that were introduced while waiting for the main characters came back into the book. Taylor’s characters come across just as she was in book 1. I had read The Pawn for review and am happy to say that the sequel was better than original. It was like Ms. Damato came into her strive and knew where she wanted to take the characters. I hope that I get to read Separate World that ties book 1 and 2 together.

The Pawn by Nancy Minnis Damato
“The Pawn” by Nancy Minnis Damato is a story about a young girl named Josefina who trusted Francois DucLafevre’s word that if she would give him an heir then she would be free to marry her true love Jacob. Three months into her being pregnant she realizes that Francois has no plans to honor his side of the agreement.
When she tells her father, he throws her out. She must now protect and provide for her child as her brother wants her dead and she doesn’t want Francois to know about the child’s whereabouts. Will she be able to avoid the powerful men that seek her?
Although Ms. Damato gives a lot of detail to her characters, I felt the story was very slow in the beginning and middle, but toward the end of the book it took off like a rocket. Since this is a part of a series I look forward to reading the next one that will hopefully tell us what happens when she tries to reconnect with her estranged daughter. Overall I thought this was a decent book to read as I love reading period romances.
