Rating:  Summary: She has did it again Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: Okay Read Review: If you've followed Rochelle Alers' Hideaway series, you will love No Compromise, the 1st book in the Sons and Brothers Trilogy. United States Army Captain Michael Kirkland is at a crossroad. His dream to remain a career military man is beginning to wane. And the fact that his ranking officer has been making covert passes at him adds to his dilemma. To save his career, he decides to take six months leave to determine his next course of action. Also Michael is now desirous of some permanence in his personal life. Jolene Walker, the director of a safe haven for abused women, is dedicated to her job. She is convinced that her life is just where she wants it. Coerced into attending a private dinner party given by her best friend, Jolene agrees to entertain a male attendee who is without a date. She by no means expects this sexy, virile, intense gentleman to be her assignment for the night, but Captain Kirkland is who she gets. As usual with Ms. Alers stories, this one if filled with mystery and intrigue. Someone is trying to harm Jolene, and Michael has decided that he will be her protector. And because Jolene takes him where no other woman has, he wants to fill another role. While this story is very capable of standing alone, I implore you to go back to Hideaway, the freshman story in this collection, and begin a journey that will have you immersed in family drama like no other. Eager to revisit family members and friends, I read this book in one sitting. Reviewed by aNN

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Read Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: A Love Story Filled With Intrigue and Suspense Review: Jolene Walker, director of an agency that helps battered and substance-addicted women, spends countless hours in her office. The Sanctuary became her own private sanctuary after her marriage fell apart because she tried to save her twin sister from an abusive husband. The loss of her sister and her disastrous marriage has left Jolene cool on the subject of romance. Her life takes a turn when she meets handsome and very wealthy Army Captain Michael Blanchard Kirkland on a blind date at a birthday party. Michael Kirkland has taken a six months leave from the Pentagon. He accepted the invitation to a surprise birthday party to take his mind off of his troubles. Unwanted sexual advances from his general, a man who is determined to have Michael apparently at any cost, have caused Michael to rethink his military career. Jolene and Michael click and she finds happiness until The Sanctuary is broken into and vandalized, someone attacks her and tries to kill her; and her newest client is murdered and tossed in a dumpster. Michael attempts to keep Jolene safe as she enters the world of a sordid politician.'No Compromise' is the first of the "Hideaway" series I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent suspense-filled love story and appreciate Ms. Alers eye for detail. Vannie(~.~)
