Long Time Coming (Arabesque) This book was great. I seriously loved every part of it and just couldn't put it down. I didn't know I could get the next one earlier so I waited until July lol

Beautiful Story

This is the first time reading a book from this author. I loved this story and the characters.Micha and Tessa make a wonderful couple... I will recommend this book to my friends.

Once again...........

Long Time Coming is a great read! Ms. Alers makes you believe in love just when you thought you had given up. This book reinforces that love finds us...we don't find it. As always Ms. Alers writes romance with much grace and class!
