Book Review: "Chosen Daughters" by Jessica Carrasquillo
Chosen Daughters by Jessica CarrasquilloMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Chosen Daughters" by Jessica Carrasquillo – A Dark & Gripping Read You Can’t Put Down!
Okay, book lovers, let’s talk about a novel that will have you hooked from page one—Chosen Daughters by Jessica Carrasquillo. If you enjoy stories set in eerie, oppressive societies where characters fight for their freedom, this book is exactly what you need on your TBR.
You know that feeling when a book pulls you into its world so deeply that you forget everything else? That’s what happened to me with Chosen Daughters. It’s dark, emotional, and filled with high-stakes tension. The story revolves around characters trapped in a strict religious cult, and trust me, it doesn’t hold back when exploring themes of power, survival, and defiance. But what really makes it shine is the raw emotion—it’s not just about rebellion; it’s about the people behind it, their fears, their struggles, and the bonds they form.
Jessica Carrasquillo’s writing is immersive, pulling you into every moment, and making you feel the weight of each decision. And if you love slow-burn tension, complicated relationships, and characters who refuse to accept their fate, Chosen Daughters delivers all of that beautifully.
Fair warning—this isn’t a lighthearted read. It’s intense, but that’s what makes it unforgettable. If you loved The Handmaid’s Tale or enjoy dystopian novels with a strong emotional core, you’ll want to grab this one as soon as it’s out.
Are you adding Chosen Daughters to your reading list? Let me know—I need to talk about this one with someone! 📖🔥

Constance Kersaint invites you back into the scandalous world of the Darewoods, of danger and intrigue, as Roland Darewood does the unthinkable–he falls in love with a duke’s governess.
He is all she should avoid.
For years, Sabina Kembrooke had been careful. She hid herself from those who would harm her, or worse, but one act of compassion may ruin her forever. After years of hiding in a duke’s home, the man she rescued comes crashing into her life again. Roland is too dangerous a temptation but, despite her powerful response, she must not give in.
She’s not who she seems to be.
Roland has returned from years at sea to take his place as viscount and head of his dysfunctional household. Sabina’s respectable demeanor hides a secret that would utterly destroy her, but he must uncover her secrets if he is to keep her safe. The danger Sabina tried to hide from may have found her again. Can she trust him? Can he save her?

EXCERPT:
Rooftop Follies
“Every year I post a letter,” Sabina offered Roland. “I can be declared dead after ten years of silence so I post a letter every year to prove that I am alive. That way my stepfather cannot take control of my father’s affairs, which includes my inheritance.”
“I can help you, Sabina,” Roland said quietly.
“You have my gratitude, but this is my responsibility. I have borne it for ten years, there are only a few months left before I am twenty-five. Then I will contact my lawyers and finish this.”
They finished their coffee just as the tavern became louder and drunker.
“Time to go,” Roland said, pushing back.
Neither of them rushed to seek a cab, enjoying the brisk walk through an oddly snowless December night. Abruptly, Sabina stopped, her head cocked.
“Oh, listen to that,” Sabina said.
“Don’t tell me you’re interested in some second-rate musician presenting a third-rate opera?” Roland asked.
“It’s not a third-rate opera, it’s your opera,” Sabina smiled. “Rinaldo.” Roland groaned.
“God save me from French epics. A few minutes and then we must be off. I think I smell snow in the air. Mustn’t get caught in bad weather,” Roland warned.
“Music is never a waste of time,” Sabina said. “And you actually smell horse droppings but I’ll allow you your delusions.” They moved closer to the soulful violin just as a surprisingly good soprano launched into, “Lascia ch’io pianga.”
“That violinist is quite good,” Sabina whispered to Roland. “The soprano is drowning him out. If only they had a whole symphony. Once I heard the Chevalier De St. George conduct in Paris and I was never the same. Come with me,” Sabina said abruptly and grabbed Roland’s hand.
Roland let himself be led through some foul alleys and up some slippery steps, then through a building. Then, they exited a door onto a roof. She could pick up the thread of the music again, clear and sweet. Roland followed his lady to the edge of the roof and watched her take in the song as the notes floated upward into the fetid night air.
“Why up here?” Roland asked her.
“The music rises and up here, you can feel like you’re alone above the clouds, carried away by waves of heaven.” Sabina tilted her head to the notes.
“Have you been to the theater since you’ve been in town?” he asked.
“Oh, no, the duke is not a music lover, so we do not attend, which is a shame. A good orchestra raging into a symphony is my weakness,” Sabina said. The music made her foolish
Sabina could not understand the words but she felt the music. It did things to her, made her feel things that were unwise.
But it was after dark in London and no one could tell her what to do. Sabina turned and looked up at Roland’s face. He was not a handsome man but he had always been so attractive to her, from that stubborn jaw to the thoughtful eyes that looked at her searchingly.
“Would you be terribly affronted if I kissed you?” she asked.
“You didn’t ask the time before.” He grinned, reaching for her.
“Are you going to make me apologize?” Sabina responded, enjoying his hands on her. She loved his hands. He could repair her windows, handle a gun, guide a horse, hold her steady.
“No, I beg you to do it again.”
“I’m not very good at it,” Sabina warned, placing her hands on his chest.
“Well, then I think you should get some practice.” Roland bent his head down to her lips. “I humbly offer myself as a test subject.”
Sabina went up on her toes to meet his lips and smiled as they kissed. This was so right, possibly the only thing in her life that was good and hers. She opened her lips and touched her tongue to his lips, letting herself into his mouth with a delight that bordered on joy.
She heard his breathing and remembered to breathe herself as she explored the ways they could kiss. Her arms found their way around his neck and he had backed her to a stone block that she had not seen before on the roof.
It wasn’t enough. Sabina couldn’t help the frustrated noise that came from her and she slid a hand down to cup the erection bulging the front of his breeches.
“Lord, Sabina, have mercy, woman.” Roland broke away from her to gasp.
“I need you,” she breathed heavily. “I need this.”
“I’m not going to take you on a bloody roof,” Roland said, then pulled her in for another drugging kiss.
“Then I’ll take you.”
