Product Description
Orphaned at birth and shuttled between foster homes, CIA agent Merrick Grayslake has made a practice of not letting anyone get close to him. But he finds that his emotions are at risk when he is introduced to Alexandra Cole.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Friends to Lovers, March 22, 2007
By ASmoothJazzReader (Little Rock, AR United States) - See all my reviews
Ex-CIA agent, Merrick Grayslake is attending the wedding of his friend, Michael Kirkland when he intervenes in an arguement between Alexandra Cole and a former boyfriend. Merrick and Alexander decide to become "friends" in order for her to introduce him to various museums in the DC area. While both agree they do not want any type of realtionship, to ever get married or have children, they can see this "friendship" working. Alexander finds herself attracted to the mysterious, dangerous and handsome man while Merrick finds himself attracted to the petite, feisty and talkative cousin of his friend. The interplay between Merrick and Alex was great.

Ms Alers has thrown in humor, mystery and romance to bring back the Cole and Kirkland families. As always the families come together for a wedding, a birth, and family business, therefore, you get an update on the senior members from Florida and New Mexico. This was an enjoyable read and I am looking forward to what family member will be next to keep the connection going.

Ms Alers was one of the authors that got me hooked on reading African American romance with connecting families and she has not disappointed yet.

4.0 out of 5 stars (RAW Rating: 3.5) - The wait is over..., May 1, 2007
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
Die-hard Rochelle Alers fans have waited patiently for the next installment in the Hideaway Legacy, and with the much anticipated publication of STRANGER IN MY ARMS, the wait is finally over. Readers were teased with the mysterious Merrick Grayslake in No Compromise, but finally they are given the chance to get to know and fall in love with Merrick as they have done with all of Alers' other heroes.

Merrick, a retired CIA agent, has come out of seclusion long enough to attend the wedding of his good friend Michael Kirkland. Before the wedding starts, he rescues the spoiled and pampered Alexandra Cole from the clutches of an overly amorous acquaintance who can't seem to take no for an answer. Alexandra is not only grateful to Merrick for his help, she also finds herself attracted to him. But, when Merrick proposes a friendship between them, she declines because she will be out of the country for several weeks. Not to be put off, Merrick puts another offer on the table, one that Alexandra will be hard pressed to refuse; an offer that will challenge both in every way, but one that has the sweetest rewards.

I'll admit, I was one of those die-hard Alers fans who couldn't wait for the next Cole/Delgado romance, and when it was finally released, I was so excited. I purchased it immediately, and put aside everything else to read it. Imagine my disappointment when it didn't live up to the standards of excellence that I always hold Alers to. While I enjoyed the romance between Alexandra and Merrick, Alexandra's childishness and petulance was extremely nerve-wracking, and a dilemma that Merrick finds himself facing has a dramatic build up, but an anti-climatic ending. In spite of this, I still am and always be a fan of Alers.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 Stars!!!, March 31, 2007
By R. A Rippy "rarippy" (Shelbyville, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ms. Alers has done it again with this 12th novel in the Hideaway Series! This book gives the details of how Alexandria and Merrick met, their courtship, marriage and about his past. The ending was incredible! I wonder now will she write about Diego Samuel Cole-Thomas who takes over as CEO of ColeDiz International, Ltd. The brief storyline involving him makes me want to know more!
