5.0 out of 5 stars A First Class Book From A First Class Writer, December 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Gentle Yearning (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
Ms. Alers has written a love story that stood through the test of time and like fine wine it just got better and more valuable. An agapy love is what this story is about. It is sensual and moving. I think Ms. Alers get better with each story she tells, and at her caliber I did not think that that was possible.

Now let's talk about the cover of the book. The female model looked the part of the character that Ms. Alers painted for the readers through her description of Rebecca, yet the male model was no where near the portrait of Daniel that the author describes. However, the female model makes up for that short coming and the story itself is just too explosive to be held back by a mere photo.

I read the male model's review of this book and frankly I disagree with his comment. The book is the complete opposite of his description "horrible". It's more like exceptional, fabulous, first-rate, splendid, and even breathtaking. I personally was overwhelmed with the compassion the characters had for one another. I couldn't put the book down until I had completed it. It's all that and a bag of chips, dip, cherries, and a diet coke. Need I say more? This critic gives this book a full circle, two thumbs up and a high five with five out of five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars DA BOMB!!, July 13, 1999
By 
Betty Holloway (NEWARK, NEW JERSEY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gentle Yearning (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
NOW I KNOW WHAT THE KIDS MEAN WHEN THEY COIN THAT PHRASE!!.

COULDN'T PUT THIS ONE DOWN AND FINISHED WITHIN 4 HOURS.

GIRLFRIEND ALERS CERTAINLY KNOWS HOW TO GET THE HEART PUMPING. SHE HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE YOU BOND SO MUCH WITH THE CHARACTERS THAT YOU RIDE THE ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS WITH THEM.

HER LOVE SCENES ARE INCREDIBLE, AND SHE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT US IN THIS ONE. DANIEL IS THE MAN TO DIE FOR. HE SURELY KNOWS HOW TO MAKE A WOMAN OUT OF A GIRL.

KEEP IT UP MS ALERS AND GIVE US SOME MORE!!

This is a great book about two people who have loved each other for years, some of those years they were apart and this book deals with loss and rekindling a love too strong to deny.
