The secrets of the Rich and Dangerous

Would you consider the audio edition of Because of You to be better than the print version?

Yes because the audio version vocalizes the emotions and attitudes of the characters. It also paints a clear picture of the environment surrounding events within the story.

What other book might you compare Because of You to and why?

I would compare this book to the book titled: Secrets Never Told- which is also written by Rochele Alers.

Which character – as performed by Kevin R. Free – was your favorite?

My favorite character in. This book is the adopted son. Even though he was raised in the world of high society, he did not allow his intelligence and moral character to be tainted or deminished.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

While visiting his parent's home Jordons ishowed Aziza where she could go to rest privately and not sleep with him. I thought that action spoke volumes about his character

Any additional comments?

This book is a must read, And since it is part of a new series, I'm looking forward to the next book. This author is a great writer.

Enjoyable Read!

Because of You is my first read from Rochelle A. I enjoyed the storyline and feel that this book ended abruptly. I was hoping the last chapter would better lead into the next book. I didn’t feel a hunger for the next chapter or story, but I’m glad there are two books that follow. I am looking forward to the sexual harassment trial…

Good listen

I am lukewarm about this story. The premise sounded interesting but in narration the dialogue was stiff and too formal in places. This was a decent book by R Alers. I’ll keep looking at her titles

Great!!

I really liked this book and would recommend this book. I wish this book was a movie or TV show. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. I thought he was adopted. I never thought he was passing. The couple was great together and very fast at getting to know each other after her experience with men.The narrator was not good with the female characters . I would like to hear about the wedding and Jordan getting to know his other family. I still don't get why his Grandfather was mad at him for something his father and other Grandfather did.

I'm all into those Wainwright men now

Well I have to say I'm loving those Wainwright men. So the high powered, very very rich young lawyer, Jordan Wainwright falls in love at 1st sight with a very beautiful, intelligent multilingual, divorced lawyer, Aziza Flemming brings all the faults of her ex & his juvenile behavior into the relationship. Both bring baggage of past relationships & family secrets some which were never to see the light of day😮 Anyhow, these 2 are as different as night & day, well its said opposites attract go on a world wind love affair. And in the end they find a footing they can stand on, a sound foundation.

Kevin Free one of my favorite narrators, Lawd I love his voice bought each character alive. Thank Kevin. Rochelle Alers my new summer read, I love her work.
