Personal

Michael and Jolene........made my heart lurch.....oh what passion they had for one another. Another excellent read. I love this series..............All of those Coles/Kirklands/Sterlings leaving me longing for a life that's not in my reach.........so I've learned to live through them. Ms. Alers...........you're the best!

She has did it again

I would just like to express my gratitude for Mrs. Alers, because once again she has captured my heart as well as my mind with another captivating and passionate story from the Hideaway Legacy. These characters seem to truly come to life and become one with you. You get the sense that you actually know these wonderful families she has created. Of course I loved this book, but then again, any book written from this series, I love. Michael was a splitting image of Joshua, be he was not as controlled. That I liked about him a lot. I liked Jolene's character as well, because she was independent and her own spririt. She made it quite clear that she did not base her sole existence on a man. The book was very intriguing and kept me in suspense. I am highly looking forward to reading about Tyler's story. I am sure it will be well written as well. One thing I am curious of though, is whatever happened with Arianna?? Did she marry that Morrocan designer boyfriend she had been dating or what??? None the less I am pleased with what I have been given so far. Again thank you Mrs. Alers. You truly have been blessed with talent. I wish you nothing but the best in the future.

An Army of One!!!!!

To my delight Rochelle debuts her Hideaway Sons and Brothers trilogy with Michael Kirkland, Vows still remains my favorite of the Hideaway series. We get a glimpse of Michael in Just Before Dawn, Sara and Salem's story as well as Private Passions, Emily and Chris' story, but now, the spotlight is on him, a few years older and facing a major career indecision. CPT Kirkland's career with Military Intelligence has been his driving force he has definitely proven to be his father's son in many ways. Ms Jolene Walker, Executive Director of the Sanctuary, a program dedicated to victimized women, a program that holds more than a special meaning for Jolene whose passion behind her work contributed to her failed marriage and now only that passion for her work drives her. Michael has taken a six month leave of absence from the military to decide the direction of his career, he is invited to a party by an old friend he met while on assignment in Japan, and even though the party has a couples theme Michael elects to make a solo appearance. Jolene has a comfortable date set to attend the party with, however, an emergency changes her plans and couples her with the sexy fine, Michael Kirkland, where needless to say fireworks are about to explode. Michael is immediately captivated with the model gorgeous, Jolene and she equally with the tall greeneyed soldier, a soldier who begins a mission to capture the heart of the women who makes him lose all control. Jolene is afraid of exploring the strength of her emotions for Michael, she has guarded her heart since her divorce and has no intentions of repeating past mistakes but somebody should have warned her about the relentless pursuit of the Cole-Kirkland men when they have their prey targeted for capture. When Jolene's life is threatened, Michael becomes her protector and avenger in true Kirkland fashion. This book is worthy of the Hideaway legacy, 379 pages was not enough. I am patiently waiting on Tyler's story at 39 his time has come. Thank you Rochelle, you do have a way with words.

Wonderful Read

In Rochelle Alers first book of the Sons and Brothers of the Hideaway Trilogy we are introduce to Michael Kirkland and Jolene Walker. Michael is so much like his father in attitude, love of his job, and love of his woman.After deciding to take a six month leave from the service Michael is trying ot figure out his future. He had planned to make the army a lifelong career. Now he just doesn't know. Within the first week of his leave he is invited to a dinner party for his friend's mother. This is where he saw her walk in. Michael is instantly attracted to Jolene before they are formally introduced. And when he discovers that she will be his dining partner he is determined to learn all about her.Jolene Walker is the executive over a center for abused women. After losing her twin sister to domestic violence she puts her heart out to help women get away from their abusers. When she meets Michael at the dinner party some of her priorities change slightly.The relationship between Michael and Jolene is truly a love story in the making. At first Jolene does not want to get involved with Michael because her first marriage ended when she had to choose between her job and her marriage. But Michael is determined to break all the barriers that she puts up and make her his wife and mother of his children.If you have read any of Rochelle's books you will know that there will be alot of passion and romance as well as alot of action. And she does not disappoint us in "No Compromise," as Jolene tries to help a victim of domestic violence.I can't say to much without giving away the story line. But if you want to read a book that is so good and has so much love that you will lose sleep on, I urge you to get this book. Also you will get caught up on other members of the Cole, Kirkland and Sterling family. Thanks Rochelle for keeping the legacy going.
