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,long ago 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 at Kimani Press,a division of Harlequin and My Book Addiction and More aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: From the author of the bestselling Hideaway novels comes the first in a dazzling, sexy new series, The Wainwright Legacy, chronicling the lives and loves of two prestigious New York families. High-profile lawyer Jordan Wainwright is an expert at uncovering the truth for his clients. But he guards his own secrets closely, especially those surrounding his adoption by the powerful Wainwright family. Meeting attorney Aziza Fleming at a party, he's captivated by her ambition and sensual warmth. Although Aziza insists she's not looking for anything serious, their casual dates spill over into sultry, pleasure-filled nights. Aziza has been burned twice before--first by a bad marriage, then by a harassment case that nearly destroyed her career. Sophisticated and irresistibly sexy, Jordan could be everything she wants, if he proves to be the trustworthy man she needs. However, he'll have to choose--between keeping a decades-old secret, or embracing their newfound passion. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Because of You was what I thought it would be -- easy-to-read, chick lit type romance; a beach read. My disappointment is that this is a completely forgettable book . I gave this author a chance, but am unlikely to return to her.
The H and h are very likable. They are both accomplished adults (a very nice change to what I've stumbled across lately). He's white and she is black and that is not an issue except with one relative, and she overcomes this easily. There's a little bit of baggage brought to the relationship (because who doesn't have baggage in their life?), but the story isn't bogged down by either of their baggage. (This was also a nice mature change to read about, characters & a story line that accepts baggage and moves on rather than be weighted down by it.) The "bad guy" didn't add to the story, though I think he was meant to -- I kept waiting for him to cause a big confrontational climax to the story, but he was like a 4th of July firework that was set off, but ultimately fizzled away without a bang.
As there are three Wainwright brothers, I suspect there will be two more books in the series. If you can borrow rather than buy this book and if you don't want to be moved by a chick lit story (because sometimes we have free time to spend on a book that we will forget about the next day), read this book, but don't expect much from it.
Personally, even when I am interested in a simple plot, straightforward, light-read book, I still want to be moved to laughter or tears or heart ache or frustration to a turn-of-events that eventually untangles itself or surprise. If I am not moved one way or another, I feel like I've wasted my precious reading hours. Especially when there are far too many TBR books piled up around the house. ( )
