Customer Reviews

"Well, I Liked It!"

The storyline of this novel reminds me of "The Best Of Everything", a movie I saw on T.V. and now have on D.V.D. I read this book then I stopped, after a few months passed I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad I did. To the other reviewers: What's so bad about this book?

Whispers better left unsaid

In Careless Whispers, Ms. Alers tells us Dyana Randolph's story. Dyana is a young woman who after being burned by deception of mistaken love and stood up at the altar, Dyana decides to hide away from love should it ever come along again. After leaving home and moving in with her unmarried aunt, Dyana launches herself into her work at Pinnacle magazine. She also feels safe with the magazine's publisher, Michael Dalton, an older man and a fatherly figure, who is also widowed. Dyana feels obligated to Michael and helps him out as a hostess after hours and serves as his date on many occasions. However, good intentions, Dyana and Michael are the brunt of many office whispers of a romantic involvement between the two. The whispers are not only cruel, but they are careless whispers that are untrue. After Michael decides to retire, a younger and renown journalist, Nicholas Bradshaw takes over the businesss. Nicholas is smitten with Dyana and becomes enamored of her. Although he has heard the whispers, he sets out to form his own opinions. Nicholas thinks its strange that Dyana is drawn to Michael and there are some doubts, but Nicholas also gives Dyana the benefit of the doubt. After several encounters, Nicholas is not only drawn to Dyana, but Dyana's heart unthaws and she begin to see Nicholas as a love interest. Can love possibly be in the picture for Dyana, who desperately wants to love again? Can she get pass the most ultimate betrayal by her first love? Will Nicholas be the man to break the barrier or will their love be destroyed by "careless whispers?"

Alers Is My Favorite!

I searched high and low to find each novel written by Ms. Alers. I felt a loss when I came to the end of another and estatic when the next arrived (mail order). Careless Whispers was no exception. Well done!

Another Great Book By Alers!

I really enjoyed this book. Nicholas Bradshaw was something else, he made my blood boil in more ways then one. But I think Dyana handled him very well. The book was really good, a must read!Much love to Ms Alers

Believe half of what you hear and none of what you see...

Writer Dyana Randolph would rather let her friends and co-workers think she's having an affair with her much older boss than get involved with a man her own age. The grapevine and rumor mill are full of stories of how Dyana has slept her way from steno pool secretary to editor at the magazine publishing company where she works. Nothing could be further from the truth. When her mentor retires and Nicholas Bradshaw, a younger, award-winning journalist, is named to head the magazine, Dyana begins to ponder her future. For the first time since she was left at the alter by her first love, she's attracted to a man. Sparks fly and the inevitable happens. But Nicholas has heard the "careless whispers" and seen what he thinks is evidence of an affair between Michael and Dyana. Can he apply his journalistic objectivity to his personal life? That's the question...
