Stolen Legacy: Mayor of Goldsboro
Sheila Carpenter finally has the perfect life and the perfect Goldsboro’s newest mayor. Now she just needs to plan the perfect wedding; unfortunately, there’s one small problem—a first husband that she never quite divorced.
Finding Dunbar should be her biggest concern, but then her twin sister Sheryl involves her in a search for Goldsboro’s “rightful mayor.” As if that won’t lead to even more complications. Once Dunbar signs the divorce papers, though, there will be one less problem in her life.
Except Dunbar unexpectedly shows up in Goldsboro.
Dunbar Moore realizes two things when he gets to he’s not quite over his wife and the best excuse for staying in Goldsboro is to write an article on the town’s mayor. His wife’s fiancé. And if that isn’t complicated enough, Sheila somehow gets him involved in her search for Goldsboro’s rightful mayor, which means facing off with one of the town’s oldest the mysterious and powerful Derek Hastings.

I loved this whole series. There wasn't a lot of magic, but there was love and figuring out your purpose in the world.

Hope this isn't the last!
Fantastic story line! Creating a magical history for a black town that has thrived despite everything thrown at it - both of this world and otherwise - is intriguing and provides hope that good will somehow find a way. There is also an important lesson about trying to avoid doing what you're called to do and the potentially devastating ripple effect that can have. LOVE THIS SERIES.

So so...but still good read
This installment of the Goldsboro mystery did not deliver as the first three books. It was a slow build as the fourth involving Sheryl, which, didn't deliver at all for me. Too much repetitive narratives and long drawn out character builds. Nevertheless, it was a good read and somewhat conclusion to this saga. Hopefully, if there are more to come the author will take this in account.

Excellent series!!!!
This was a great series to read. I loved the combining of African American/US history with the fictional town of Goldsboro. It would be tremendous if such a place existed where Black folks could feel protected while they prospered in life (instead of always having ones head on a swivel). The Yoruba mentions and African mythology was great as well. Had me googling things a few times while reading just to learn more👍🏽👍🏽. Great job LL Farmer!!!!!

The Ending or a New Beginning
The residents of Goldsboro finally find their rightful Mayor. It took five books filled with delicious twists and turns but we got there. Along the way characters found redemption and glimpses of future conflicts are shown brightly. Can we get a book on Isis and Zion?

Enthralling....
This book was an experience. Played out right before my eyes as i read, like i was a living, breathing resident of Goldsboro. Had my heart stuttering in my chest. If only we had such a safe haven in reality.
I am so happy I found L.L. Farmer. Her stories move me like no other, and I can not wait to read what is next.
