A Lasting Love!!

This book is the best! I love the way Rina and Cleveland finally get together. You have to get this book.

Reckless for Love

Rina Matthews is a CPA with not only brains but beauty, she along with partner Jason Harper are trying to make their accounting firm a success. With Jason's charm and Rina's skill they seem to be on their way in their business as well as personal lives, since a trip to the altar for them seems inevitable. Enter handsome, charming, wellbred, well connected district attorney Cleveland Whitney whose political aspirations will probably make the mayors office his first stop on the political trail. Cleveland is capitvated and impressed with Rina's beauty and candor.Rina has harbored unsettling emotions concerning her relationship with Jason, and the assignment in Savannah as the new accountant for Abigal Whitney seems the perfect time and place to evalute her feelings, at least that was the idea until Cleve. Rina could not dismiss her obvious attraction to the smoothly confident Cleve, neither could she overlook his blantant attaction for her. "What is a girl to do"?This must be Rochelle's early work, the story though with great potential is not as developed as her Hideaway series or other works. I was surprised that Matthew Sterling's character was one of Cleve's friends, that would truly make and interesting connection if Rochelle choses to merge the families as her Hideaway saga continues. All in all any Alers romance story is definitely worth the read.

Cleveland Whitney!

Rina Matthews was an accountant. She was contracted by Abagail Whitney to go over her finances. She would have to stay at the promonient older woman's mansion. This is were she met the handsome Cleveland Whitney. Rina was asked by Cleveland to handle his finances for his upcoming campaign. At first Rina was shocked, but agreed. Cleveland Whitney and Rina Matthews were meant to be together. I loved the way he treated her. He even told her that he wanted her and would wait until she saw the truth about her boyfriend/partner. Slowly, Rina started to fall in love with Cleveland and he with her. She would spend as much time as she could with him.I have read this book 4 times. Each time I read this book it is just as enjoyable as the first. You know it has to be good, it was written by Rochelle Alers.

Terrific any time reading . .

There have been Whitneys--black and white--on the oceanfront near Savannah, Georgia, for centuries. Until the Civil War, ownership was white, then Noah Whitney, a freeman, bought the plantation for back taxes. Since then, Whitneys have climbed the ladder of success while building a new level of black society. The highlight of the season is their famed Black-and-White Ball, held every late summer in the gloriously restored Whitney Hall. Adelaide Whitney, matriarch of the current family, hires Rina Matthews of Atlanta, to audit her financial affairs, comprising both her shares in the family's far-flung business empire and her own private philanthropic ventures. Sure of her own business sense, Rina has nagging concerns about her partner in the accounting firm, Jason Harper, to whom she is unofficially engaged. These concerns are both multiplied and ignored when Rina runs full-tilt into Cleveland, Adelaide's oldest son, who is not only heir to the family business enterprises, but as a successful district attorney, about to relinquish that post to run for mayor. The collision throws up sparks that illuminate all 200 acres of the Whitney estate. When Cleve suddenly needs an accountant for his campaign, Rina steps into the breach, and then discovers that her world has skewed because of the men she thought she could trust. Get your copy of RECKLESS SURRENDER and your iced tea, of course, kick back, and enjoy Rochelle Alers' look at a side of life and society not often exposed to the rest of the world.
