Private Passions

I loved this book. I like the fact that Rochelle gives you an update on previous characters. When I first read of Chris and Emily in Regina's story, I was pleased to see that she brought them closer together in Sara and Salem's story. I could not wait for this book to come out. This story was well worth waiting for. I could not put it down. I liked how she kept Chris and Emily's marriage a secret at first. It did present some conflict. She also brought drama and mystery into the book with the murder of Emily's old friend. I love to read her books. I continue to enjoy books with the Cole's and Kirklands and all other related characters. Rochelle is great. There is never a dull moment in her books.

Great premise but falls short

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.

Great

Rochelle Alers has another great with private passions. Emily and Chris sercretly marries. The chemisty between the two is great, and I love their arguments throughout the book. Another that you don't want to miss

another satisfying read!

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.
