Review: Rochelle Alers does it again. Private Passions is another addition to the Coles, Sterlings, Kirklands and Delgados saga and another masterpiece. Ms. Alers' novels will leave you breathless. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Emily and Christopher from beginning to end and so will you. If you're a fan, run out and get it. If you're not a fan, after reading this beautiful story you will be. Take a chance -- you'll love it!

Summary: Extrordinary!
Review: 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.

Summary: Great premise but falls short
Review: This book had a great premise. The idea's were excellent and for the most part, I enjoyed the book. However, there was just to much family information. Is all that necessary to keep up with the main characters. Must the reader have identified to them every relative in existence with the Coles, Delgados, Stricklands and Kirklands and must we know what they are doing or how the came to be. If Ms. Alers had left some of that out this book could have been better. The other aspects of the book I did not like were the character of Emily and how she tied things up to quickly and neatly in the last 3 to 4 pages. I agreed "Chris", she said she loved him but didn't much act like it. What 8 month pregnant women who claims to love her husband and unborn child would go to a meeting with a very powerful man and expect everything to go O.K. That was completely stupid!! She was also just on the annoying side with her "independent woman" thing. Like I said the premise was good, the idea of trying to have a marriage in secret with two people that are in the public eye but it could have been put together better had some of the other things I've mentioned been different. This is the second book I've read of Ms. Alers and I hesitate to grab another because I don't want to read about the endless list of family members but after a time, I probably will. By the way "No Compromise" was a very good book and had just enough information to help you understand connections but not an overload.

Summary: another satisfying read!
Review: This book was awsome! I've been waiting for this for a very long time. Needless to say, it was well worth the wait. Rochelle always amazes me with her ability to link the stories of her characters. Her stories are always so believable, and I can hardly wait for the next one. I finished this book in two days!
If you haven't read this book, what are you waiting for? If you have read this one, and haven't read the others, I suggest you get them and read the whole story while you wait for her next masterpiece.
