I have read this book over and over again. For some reason, this is my favorite book written by Ms. Alers. I have read ALL of her book, but, this one has a special place in my heart. Vanessa & Joshua were an outstanding couple in this book and very much in love. They seem to have that chemistry that just attracted each other. Yes, they had problems, but what couple does'nt.In the end, it all worked out for the best.Ms. Aler is a fantastic writer, and I loved the way she really exceeded my expectations with this one...

Since reading this novel, I have read every book that Ms. Alers has written! The characters are vivid and real, the love and devotion that they share is awesome. You know she spent time researching the locations in her books, the detail makes you want to pack your bags and go on vacation! A suggested read if you want action and adventure to go along with the romance...

Vows was the first book I read of Ms. Alers. I founded the cover interesting because the gentlemen appeared caucasian. So I'm thinking an interracial love story. OK. But once you start reading you find that he is part African Amerian & Cuban American. But the color thing isn't as significant as the suspense, mystery and the love that these two are destined to have. I have read other books of Ms. Alers but Vows is the one I have read and re-read several times. This is an Excellent book and I would enjoy seeing this turn into a move for BET.
