Personal

Catching a quick glimpse of someone elses review of Renegade almost made me not read it. But being a die hard Rochelle Alers fan I'm glad that I followed my own mind and read Renegade. Renegade was an excellent book. Gabriel and Summer were hot. I loved the whole story. I loved the way Ms. Alers kept me abreast on the lives of Martin-Parris, Matt-Eve, Joshua-Vanessa and David-Serena. I knew that the series had to end........but I was not ready to let go. Renegade truly touched my heart in the end when all the brothers/friends came together and hugged. Ms. Alers ended the book with grace. I'm left with an ending that I can handle. I know there will never be anothr series like this......thank you.

Wonderful for the last of the Legacy

Rochelle Alers has done it again and she left more to be desired from this book. The sad thing is that this is the last book of the Hideaway Series and I would love to read more. The book has wonderful charactes, great suspence and it is a real page-turner. You won't be able to put it down. It is a really good book.

From Drama to Love

DEA agent Summer Montgomery, code name Renegade, poses as a drama teacher for her newest assignment at Weir Memorial High School in Boston, Massachusetts to stop an illegal drug ring. The five-foot-eight beauty with large, deep set, dark brown eyes has always been able to keep her distance from any man while undercover, until she meets Gabriel Cole.Gabriel Cole, a multi-award-winning musician, who is also working at the high school in the music department is mesmerized by Summer's stunning beauty and intelligence. As a famous musician, he's used to women lusting after him, but Summer is different. Summer is everything he has been looking for: smart, sexy, ambitious, talented and determined. Summer, with her take charge, strong and self-sufficient attitude, pulls Gabriel in with an invisible bond that will link them together forever. He loves the combination of curiosity and desire he feels every time he's around Summer. She makes him feel the intensity of loving one person completely, and the desire to create and raise a family with her. He wants to make Summer his wife, but Summer is holding something back. Will Summer tell Gabriel about the double life she's leading? Or will her dangerous masquerade ruin both of their lives?RENEGADE, the last in the Hideaway series by Rochelle Alers, and completes the legacy with style by including the characters from the previous Hideaway stories: HIDEAWAY, HIDDEN AGENDA, VOWS, HEAVEN SENT, HARVEST MOON, JUST BEFORE DAWN, PRIVATE PASSIONS, NO COMPROMISE, HOMECOMING. The tightly-knit Cole family stands up for one another, and Ms.Alers incorporates Summer and Gabriel into the long time trilogy with passion. The Cole females are treated with love and respect by the Cole males and RENEGADE keeps the love and warmth going with Summer's and Gabriel's love story. Summer and Gabriel will do anything for each other. Rochelle Alers writes about both characters with insight and emotion. Summer's and Gabriel's love is riveting and compelling. When Summer realizes she has fallen in love with Gabriel, she stills holds back, not wanting to tell him about her DEA life until her assignment is over.I consider Gabriel a combination of an alpha hero and a beta hero . He feels he needs to protect Summer, but he's also treats Summer with love and patience. He doesn't rush her into the relationship. He allows her to move at her own pace. Gabriel is there to comfort Summer after she confides to him about her brother died from a driving by shooting. Respecting Summer is a huge part of Gabriel's personality and makes him the fantasy man every woman wants, but few are able to find in reality.Summer is the challegne Gabriel needs in his life. She make him work toward having a caring and lasting relationship. Apart Summer and Gabriel are amazing people, but together they are superb. With one glance they know when the other person is upset or hurt by something or someone. Summer's only conflict is telling her boss she wants to leave the a

Sorry it has to end

I have really enjoyed the Hideaway Series. I did not want this novel to end. A great book from a great author.

It was inevitable.

Grammy Award winner Gabriel Cole has lived a non-conventional life, so I immediately thought this book was titled for him. But he's not the one, Renegade is the code name for DrugEnforcement Administration agent Summer Montgomery.Because of a family tragedy, Summer has dedicated her life to drug enforcement and is a legend in her own right with the DEA. Her existence has been consumed by her mission, but she now yearns for a normal life without the deception and the constant danger. Gabriel, a loner and a confirmed bachelor has obtained phenomenal success with his illustrious music career. But he is at a crossroads in his career and his life, and as a result, has settled on Cape Cod to figure things out. Assisting with a musical grant awarded a Massachusetts school system, he offers his services at a local high school in the area. Summer's current assignment with the Boston DEA division is at the same school. Their fiery encounters have them wondering if destiny is manifesting itself, encouraging them to put a rein on their wanderlust?RENEGADE is the final book in the HIDEAWAY series and readers are very aware that this is the last course eclipsing what has read like a multi-course meal. The writing is fresh and crisp and it soothes the palate like the aromatic coffee from one of the ColeDiz International Ltd. coffee plantations. Throughout the series Rochelle Alers has embodied the essence of the family unitand has ensured that the spirit of the Hideaway adventures will never end. Readers reminisce with the Coles, Sterlings, Kirklands and their offspring. I read this book in a melancholic mood because it is the epilogue of a wonderful legacy. As I turned the last page I thought, RENEGADE and all it culminates can be summarized with words from one of William Shakespeare's poems... "parting is such sweet sorrow". Thank you Rochelle for all the vicarious days with your HIDEAWAY series.Reviewed by aNN Brownof The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
