As Rina makes the drive from Atlanta to Savannah, pausing in Macon for breakfast, I can see the landscape in my mind s eye. From Alers descriptions, I can almost see the Greek revival fa ade of Whitney Hall, feel the sweltering Savannah heat and hear the ocean s roar. Stories about the traditional Black and White Ball and its history were intriguing. The chemistry between Rina and Whitney is believable. The author slowly builds upon the attraction until it simmers to a low boil.
Secondary characters are very well defined and add support and information to the main plot line.
These are characters I enjoyed spending time with. Attentive Alers fans will catch a glimpse of Matthew Sterling in is pre-Hideaway series days. Enjoyment of one of my favorite stories was somewhat marred by numerous production errors. There are several instances of typographical errors, repeated lines, words that run together. Reckless Surrender is early Rochelle Alers.
