My Review
Yes! This is what I needed. I had been in a little bit if a reading funk. This snapped me right out of it. A romance page turner. Can you believe it? I promise, it's true. See what I did there. Made a promise about a book called No Promise. Ba da dum bum. Anyway...
Sam is such a likable character. Normally it annoys me when a character downs herself but with Sammy I get it. She had things that happen that shaped how she looked at herself. I can relate. I thought I was fat all throughout my tween and teen years.
Looking back at it now I was no where near fat but when you are young what people say to you can influence you. Sammy came on to a friend only to have him make fun of her. No wonder she thinks her body is still that of her boyish high school self.
Rick is the hot guy she crushed on. Coming off as a jerk at the beginning you come to realize he his lashing out to avoid his issues. He become the wounded heart throb.
The relationship between Sammy and Rick isn't forced. It has a natural progression. You get to know Sammy as the strong naturing young woman who's also a daddy's girl. Rick is the protector who finds himself doubting his purpose.
I love the story, the romance, and the characters. All the characters even the bad ass cat named Big Boy. Are you a fan of romance novels? This is the perfect weekend read. Oh and guess what...no love triangles.

Hi Bunnita! Thanks so much for taking time to read and review No Promises. I'm really happy you enjoyed it. I had so much fun writing about bad ass Big Boy that he is going to make another appearance in the next book in the series. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome. I love cats. I had one that was like Big Boy. She didn't like certain music so if it was played she would pull the plug out the socket.
