Secret Vows

Hideaway Wedding #3

by Rochelle Alers

In too deep... 

Music is Jason Cole's first love, and so far, no woman has ever come close. He's happiest writing and recording at his Oregon mountain retreat. Plus, the gorgeous new waitress at the local restaurant is another reason to enjoy spending time in the small, remote town-especially once he hears her sing.... 

Though she's flattered when Jason offers her a recording contract, Greer Evans says no. She can't reveal the truth-that she's there on a dangerous secret assignment. But as their flirty friendship turns intimate, everything is on the line-Greer's career, their safety and the yearning passion that could put both their lives at risk....

Beaucoup de longues descriptions des lieux, qui, selon moi, n'étaient pas pertinentes, j'ai presque décroché pour cette cause mais l'histoire est bonne en général!

[Harlequin Books]

"Top Pick! The conclusion to the Hideaway Wedding series is a fitting, warmhearted finale. As fans know, the Cole men have been wagering on their children's marital plans for years. David's son, Jason, is the only holdout, but his time has come. There is even an exciting mystery subplot chock full of undercover activities. This one's a page-turner with a very satisfying conclusion." RT Book Reviews, rated 4 1/2 stars

Incredible story!

I enjoy this author's narratives, 26 books that I have read and own many more series and individual books. I look forward to reading her works as the imagery is superb and superior. I recommend reading any book with her as the author.

Jason and Greer had a lovely told story and it is one of the best in this series to date. This book never failed to hold my attention this Sunday afternoon.

I have found most of the series, " Hideaway Legacy" books one thru eight in ebook format. I cannot hold the paperbacks any more.

Loved it

I loved the book so much that this was a reread. The story was catching and there was never a dull moment for the couple. I would recommend this book plus the other 17 in the series ( make sure you start with couple who made this family Samuel and M.J. In Best kept Secret).

Review of Secret Vows

I liked the fact that the threat on Jason's life was resolved, as well as the arms deal. Jason finding out about Greer's duplicity was rectified too easily I think. The Cole men seem to be very controlling.

[Nikia Hay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Greer and Jason's story was absolutely breathtaking. The constant suspense, and romance was exhilarating. I am sad to come to the end of the Hideaway series. Loved every book.

Great read

This was by far one of Ms. Alers best books. The book started like others I've read however, it was full of intrigue and unpredictable. I really enjoyed the entire book

[Toni · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have always loved Rochelle Alers Hideaway Series and this one didn't disappoint. I love the New Year's Eve wedding tradition and the bet between the Uncles. The bet in Secret Vows is who will get married first between twins, Ana & Jason and their cousin Nicholas
This book is more about Jason Cole, whose first love is music. He happier when he's writing and recording music at his Oregon mountain retreat. Then he meets Greer Evans at the local restaurant.
To say anymore would give away the storyline. This novel is more than romance; it's about risks taken, passion and reunions.

[Shone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again the Cole family has taken care of it own, adding another sister, sister-in-law, and aunt to the family. The love of this family the take control attitude to protect and help each other is the meaning of family. As Rochelle delves into the live of the now adult Cole-Thomas children she allows us to look back to where it all begin. Great story.

[Reshemah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book in the Cole Series was just okay to me. It lacked the excitement and thrill of the other books. I can't wait to get Chase's ...or whatever his name is...book. I believe there will be a little excitement in that one.

[Lisa G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yeah we got Jason story and Rochelle didnt disappoint. We also got to revisit with his twin Ana and her husband and the marriage of Nicholas and Peyton. I so love the Claridge/Cole family and can't wait for the next one

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Hideaway Series. Another Cole finding his way. Jason and Greer saw each other and were attracted from first sight. Greer was on a mission to solve a crime and Jason was trying to make new music. Once they started seeing each other things just came together for them.

[Jackie Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Jason Cole and Greer Evans' story. They had instant attraction and chemistry. Secret Vows was truly my favorite book of the Hideaway Wedding Series. Greer was trained to be the protector, but Jason was her ultimate protector and the love of her life. A very good read.

[Angela · Rating 2 out of 5]

This took forever to get to the point...when and how would she tell him she is a DEA agent. Then the twins nemesis dies but their is no build up to that. However, maybe he really didn't die and there is another book in there somewhere.

[Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yep. I really liked this one. An excellent read.

[Julie Alvarez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. The love that developes between jason and Greer was so sweet. Look forward to the next book in this series.

[Brenda]

Loved, loved, loved this book as well as the other two in the series! I absolutely love the Cole men and how they love their women. Summer Vows, Eternal Vows and Secret Vows are all must reads!
