From the Inside Flap
"You know why I'm here," Martin said without preliminaries. Parris couldn't help but smile. "You were always direct, weren't you, Martin?"
"That's the only way I know to be," he replied, unsmiling. "I want you and I want my daughter."
She successfully concealed a shudder. "Why now and not ten years ago? What took you so long to come after me?"
Martin rose to his feet and walked over to the expansive window that covered the wall. Martin Cole, Parris noted, was a man who would only grow more attractive with age.
"It took me a long time to get over your deceit. It was only a few weeks ago that I paid someone to find you."
"Why?"
"I want a wife."
Parris ran a hand over her hair. "You wanted a wife ten years ago."
"Wrong." He frowned. "I needed a wife ten years ago. Now, I want you." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Anything for Parris,
By Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hideaway (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Hideaway", what a great book!! I thoroughly enjoyed the romance, the intrigue, the mystery. Martin Cole was one determined man. He knew who he wanted and went after her. Martin did not stop when first given the cold shoulder by Parris. Luckily for Parris, he did not! Martin was Parris' lifesaver. But to Martin, Parris was his heart, his soul, his everything. Martin was willing to sacrifice whatever was necessary in order to win Parris and her love. Throughout their story, Martin indeed was Parris' backbone. He was there when she needed him.Parris was a cool, intelligent woman who not only captured Martin's heart, but she had his soul as well. Parris was given the blunt end of the deal. Through no fault of hers, she had to suffer the lost of a loved one for many needless years. However, true love can outlast any stumbling blocks as shown by Martin's and Parris'story. "Hideaway" will not leave you bored. In fact, it was a fast read and every page makes you want to learn what happens next. "Hideaway" is the beginning of a new series by Ms. Alers. One I look forward to reading. Well, this is all for this one. I will continue the review in "Hidden Agenda" and "Vows", as well as the others. Thanks, Ms. Alers for some great and exciting reading.

SHE WILL SINGE YOUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL AND HAVE YOU ASKING FOR MORE MORE MORE!!THIS IS A LOVE STORY TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME. AND PARRIS SURE DID GIVE MARTIN A TIME TO TEST THEIR LOVE. ROMANCE LOVERS, MARTIN IS THE MAN!! HE'S SEXY, HANDSOME, TRUE BLUE TO HIS WOMAN AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS WE LOOK FOR IN A SINGLE MAN. WAIT TIL YOU GET TO THE PART WHERE HE DISPLAYS JUST HOW GREAT HIS LOVE IS!! I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO BE MAD OR GLAD. BUT AT ANY RATE, HIS DECLARATION AS TO WHO IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM HAD ME SAYING "MERCY MERCY ME!! I KNOW MS. ALERS IS ONE OF BLACKBOARD'S FAVORITE AUTHORS, AND IF SHE ISN'T SOMETHING IS DEFINTELY WRONG. HER CHARACTERS ARE SEXY AND TO TOP IT OFF, SHE HAS A WAY OF DEVELOPING THE PLOT SURROUNDING THEM IN SUCH A WAY THAT KEEPS YOU TURNING THE PAGES AND REGRET TO HAVE THE STORY OVER. DIRECTLY AFTER READING THIS BOOK, I IMMEDIATELY STARTED ON "HIDDEN AGENDA". AND AGAIN!! SHE WREAKED HAVOC ON MY LIBIDO. THIS TIME WITH MAT STERLING AND EVE BLACKWELL. MY MY MY. COULDN'T GO TO SLEEP UNTIL I HAD FINISHED THE NOVEL. GIRLFRIEND ALERS GETS BETTER AND BETTER. JUST ORDERED VOWS IN ORDER TO FIND OUT ABOUT THAT FINE AFRICAN-LATINO BROTHER JOSHUA, AND HOT ON THE HEELS OF THAT ONE I INTEND TO READ ABOUT DAVID IN "HEAVEN SCENT." MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU MS ALERS. KEEP ON GIVING OUT ENJOYMENT VIA YOUR PEN. YOUR DEVOTED FAN!!
