Private Passions

I loved this book. I like the fact that Rochelle gives you an update on previous characters. When I first read of Chris and Emily in Regina's story, I was pleased to see that she brought them closer together in Sara and Salem's story. I could not wait for this book to come out. This story was well worth waiting for. I could not put it down. I liked how she kept Chris and Emily's marriage a secret at first. It did present some conflict. She also brought drama and mystery into the book with the murder of Emily's old friend. I love to read her books. I continue to enjoy books with the Cole's and Kirklands and all other related characters. Rochelle is great. There is never a dull moment in her books.

Rochelle Alers', "Private Passions", never excludes readers from the genuine fears, needs and desires of journalist, Emily Kirkland and Senator Christopher Delgado-Quintero, whose lives are under continious public and private scrutiny. These childhood companions' platonic relationship changes abruptly when the pair confess their love to each other in Oco, Rios, Jamacia. Unbridled passion erupts as the lovers secretively marry and continue to pursue their very public lives. Alers' continues to create romances where the characters strengths and characterizations are meshed to perfection. Please read all of her previous books.

What could you expect from Rochelle Alers latest book? Nothing but the best. In Private Passions Rochelle has finally linked the Coles, Kirkland and Sterlings into a family. Emily has had a crush on Chris since they where kids spending summer vacations together. She shared her first kiss with Chris and no other man could excite her the way Chris does.When Chris hears that Emily is engaged to another man he drops everything to go and reveal his love to her.The author keeps the reader turning pages with love, passion and suspense. It was nice to get an update on all of the characters from her previous books. I encourage all die hard romance novel readers to go out and experience the Hide Away series you will not be disappointed.

I have been waiting for this novel since I read the last one and I was not disappionted. Ms. Alers has done a wonderful job continuing the Hideaway Legacy Daughters and Sisters Trilogy. This page-turner wonderfully tells the story of the very beautiful and successful Emily Kirkland and the equally handsome and intelligent Christopher Delgado, whose parents I fell in love with in "Vows" and "Hidden Agenda". This book has the right mix of romance and suspense to keep you glued chapter by chapter in the tradition of the Hideaway series. I have re-read the others and expect to do the same with this one.If Ms. Alers isn't your favorite romance writer, it's because you have never experienced her work.

The last installment of the Hideaway Daughters and Sisters Trilogy was great. I wasn't sure how I would word this review, but I can only tell you that if you don't read this book you will definitely miss a treat.Emily Kirkland has loved Chris Delgado since she was twelve. Chris has loved Emily just as long. Emily was a successful journalist and Christopher was a Senator for the state of New Mexico.Emily never thought in a million years she would actually marry her long time love, but as fate would have it she did. Emily also loved her work as a journalist and was one of the best. But, Emily is assigned to Chris' rival for the office of Governor and now they have to keep their marriage a secret. Emily also finds herself a witness to scandal. Christopher himself has some demons to slay. Together they learned so of the much precious lessons this life has to offer.I loved the way Ms. Alers combined all of the other characters from the Hideaway Legacy and Daughters and Sisters trilogy. There were so many lessons in this book that it really gave me joy reading it. The way she healed the hurt between Chris, his father and even his mother was wonderful. It was so well written, it seemed so real. I love the way Ms. Alers includes a scripture in the front of the book. Each scripture she chooses is inspired by God. Ms. Alers is one of the most talented and seasoned writers in our time. I am always excited about anything she has written. To get a full understanding of this book you must read Hideaway, Hidden Agenda, Vows, Heaven Sent, Harvest Moon, Just Before Dawn in that order. If not for yourself, these books make wonderful gifts.
