Reviews for Because of You

[tarenn_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

BECAUSE OF YOU (Arabesque) by Rochelle Alers is a contemporary romance set in present day Manhattan.It is the start of a new series "The Wainwright Legacy".It is well written with depth and details. The author has done a great job with integrating the charcters from two of her previous series,"The Best Man" and "The Bridal series".This is a wonderful,interesting story of a sweet,tender romance which includes trust,longago secrets, and second chances. The charactrs are strong,determined,enchanting and engaging. It is a fast paced story,but I do wish it had an epilogue to let the readers now what happened with the court case.I would recommend this book especially if you enjoy a sweet,tender love story. This is a sweet,quick and easy read.This book was received for the purpose of review from Net Galley and details can be found atKimani Press,a division of Harlequin and My Book Addiction and More
