Just Before Dawn

Wow! I am definitely not taking this book to the resale book store!Rochelle is a great writer. I love the way that she weaves the historical and cultural information into the stories.. I have already checked into visiting New Mexico and Arizona. Previously I did not read romance novels.They turned me off because I thought that they were a sappy waste of pulp. But.... I was looking for much needed interracial fiction one day, and the book Vows popped up. I read a few pages and was immediatelly hooked. I then had to get another and another. I finally found my way to Just Before Dawn. By theis time, I felt that I knew the characters. I felt that they could have been my relatives.. I started to see myself in some of their personalities.Plus, the sexxxy Salem character had me hotter than pepper pudding by the time my husband got home from work.Now, he buys Rochelle Alers books for me!

Just Before Dawn

Rochele Alers continues the tradition of the Cole Clan in thesecond generation of the acclaimed "Hideaway" series calledthe Daughters and Sisters Trilogy. In this episode we get to experience Sara Sterling's story. Sara is the daughter of Matthew "Mateo" Sterling of Hidden Agenda. Matthew, a close friend of the Cole family, came to Eve's rescue and later became her husband. He adopted her son Christopher and later had Sara. Now Sara, a New York district attorney, is experiencing burnout and has come back to her beloved New Mexico home of Las Cruces. She is twenty-nine years old and has left a handsome, successful man in New York who wants to marry her....Fans of the Hideaway Series will not be disappointed as once again great loving is combined with the Afro Latin culture and one comes to expect now coupled with the flavors of Navajo culture complete with the dialect and mysticism.

What Did You Expect!

Just Before Dawn was a wonderful love story. Sara Sterling really didn't think a man could make her desire him. Salem Lassiter proved her wrong. Sara coming home for some much needed rest was the start. She was mesmerized with him. I was too(smile). Sara really knew how to handle herself in and out of the court room. I loved her relationship with her mother. Kind of reminded me of the relationship my sister and I have with our mother. I loved this story. Salem Lassiter was the BOMB! His senuousness and his abiiity to know her emotions, just made him awesome. He was so attentive, he reminded me so much of Sara's father Matthew.I was so into their relationship, that the other things that happened in the story just fell into place. I am really excited about Emily and Chris's story. I can see the relationship forming and Chris is probably going to play hard to get, but Emily (if she is like her father) will definitely get her man. Rochelle has done it again.

Rochelle Alers Has Done It Again!

I have become one of Ms. Alers loyal fans, having read all of her published novels and as usual I am proud to say she is truly outstanding! Rochelle Alers, for many years has brought us many stories about the Hideaway Legacy Clan. As the Second Generation Continues with family and friends, she brings us Sara Sterling (Max and Eve Blackwell-Sterling's daughter) and Salem Lassiter.If you are a long time favorite of Rochelle Alers books, then you will not be disappointed as she delivers this in the same charisma as the others. If you are new to her work, it won't matter too much for you to read the sequels out of order and read this one.This book will offer a strong couple, Sara and Salem, the suspense of life-threatening danger, betrayal, lots of intimacy and the support of family. Both the major and minor plots will keep your interested all the way to the end. The author is extremely good in the details of Native American History, because here is a culture that has been solely tied with African Americans, the book provides such precise details, that you don't have to go to the library for the information, you can just read this book and gain so much more. Thank you Rochelle, for providing your readers with the use of your gift of writing, you are truly appreciated and we look forward to your next published novel.Here are some of my favorite published books by Rochelle Alers: Hideaway, Home Sweet Home, Summer Magic, Hidden Agenda, Vows, Heaven Sent, Summer Magic, Harvest Moon and Gentle Yearning.
