Sanctuary Cove by Rochelle Alers

Sanctuary Cove by Rochelle Alers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I feel like this book should be read either poolside or while on the beach. It was pretty good and I look forward to reading the follow up story which you can find an excerpt of at the end of this book. Keep in mind that this is a romance story while glimpses of pain, honor and a whole lot of Southern Tradition. I am a big fan of this author and I enjoyed this book.

Here I Am by Rochelle Alers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am a big fan of Rochelle Alers, and this was a good read and if the ending had been better it would have been five stars. I am sure that there will be another book because this one started where the last one ended. With Jordan and Aziza's wedding.

The story was hot and well written. I can not wait to see who will get the next story although I am guessing that it will be Brandt's sister.

Sweetest Temptation by Rochelle Alers

The Sweetest Temptation by Rochelle Alers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Sweetest Temptation is the second in a trio of novels by Rochelle Alers, this one is about Faith Whitfield who is the owner of the a wedding cake shop. I liked the story but feel that she could have developed the story a little more. The substory never developed at all. Why was someone threatening Ethan's cousin?



I am big fan of Ms.Alers but this is not her best (Please read Stranger in My Arms, No Compromise, All My Tomorrows, Renegade, Careless Whispers, just to name a few).



You should read the book but read a Long Time Coming first or you will be missing a big part of the story. If this book is your introduction to this author I beg you to pick up another book by her. Try Secrets Never Told or any book in the Cole/Kirkland family and friends series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I enjoyed this book, the entire series was very romantic. This is the first book in the three part series, Kyle, Duncan and Ivan have been best friends since they were kids. They are all grown up now with successful businesses that they operate out of a jointly owned renovated Brownstone in Harlem. This story focuses on Kyle and the very unlikely woman who meets him see the world differently.

Secret Agenda by Rochelle Alers

Secret Agenda by Rochelle Alers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was finally able to finish this book, the delay was not the quality but the fact that I had lost the book in this wasteland I call a bedroom.

Diego was just as I imagined him to be intense and driven. There was not as much action in this book as I would have suspected. But it was a good read and I have never been disappointed by Ms. Alers. I hope that she brings back the action in her stories though.. Think Stranger in My Arms or Renegade both have a lot of action in it.



All in all this is a 4 out 5 stars.

Sweet Dreams by Rochelle Alers

Sweet Dreams by Rochelle Alers

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was too short and not as detailed as her others. I wish there was more to it than this. It was not a bad read and does not alter my view of the author whom I consider very talented and I am a big fan

Lessons Of A Lowcountry Summer by Rochelle Alers

Lessons of a Lowcountry Summer by Rochelle Alers

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I have a few favorite authors of contemporary fiction and romance and Rochelle Alers is definitely high on the list. I know that when I pick up a book written by her I will not be disappointed and I have never been.



I read Lessons Of A Lowcountry Summer when it was first released a few years ago. I came across the book today while searching for another book and decided to re-read it and write the review.



This book has three main characters Dr. Hope Sutton, Theo Howell and Rebecca, all of whom lead lives of some priviledge and sucess. Hope is a columnist who helps everyone with their relationship problems only to be faced with her own. She catches her "perfect" man with another man and then finds she has a medical condition that will require surgery. Hope packs up and heads to the Gullah islands to relax and heal her spirit and prepare for her surgery.



Rebecca is a trophy wife is tired of the family drama and being unappreciated. She leaves her family for a vacation to find herself and almost finds herself having an affair with a older man. Rebecca's husband is a typical workaholic who had an affair with another woman and thinks he's losing Rebecca because she no longer falling in line with what he wants her to do.



Theo Howell is a screenwriter who gained custody of his two half-brothers and sisters whom he barely knows. Theo is not only struggling with learning how to care for three teenagers he is learning how to love them despite his spite for the way their mother abandoned him. Theo has help with the kids from Helen his live-in housekeeper. Brandon, Christian and Noelle are a handful and they decide that their brother needs a woman and they are gonna help him get one.



I love this book and I had forgotten that some parts of the book are really sad but there is enough drama in parts that it makes up for the sadness. I recommend this book and give it five out of five smiley's.
