Promises
Shy and self-doubting, Alexandra doesn’t ask much of life. She exists quietly in a small seaside village in Wales, working in the local library and keeping company solely with ‘Roger,’ her vibrator. When Roger breaks down, she must go to the city to seek out his replacement.
Alex’s visit goes spectacularly awry when she stumbles into the wrong hotel room, where she enjoys a blissful interlude with the room’s rightful occupant, Solomon, who she initially mistakes for a vivid dream. Sol’s skills quickly render Roger obsolete, but Alex isn’t about to let a man—not even one as gorgeous as Sol—get under her skin. Relationships are not for the likes of her.
Sol, a notorious playboy and multi-millionaire hotelier, isn’t about to let her go so easily—not until he’s had his fill of her. Posing as a simple carpenter, he rents the house next to Alex in Brindley Bay. His plan is to conquer her quickly and return to his real life in a week or so. But Alex is nothing like his other women. For a start, she’s not interested in money. More than that, serious money makes her extremely uncomfortable. And she values honesty above all else. Before he knows it, Sol has promised to love her forever—a promise he fully intends to keep.
But what will Alex do when she inevitably uncovers the elaborate skein of lies he has spun, simply to bed her?

Alex lives a quiet unassuming life, working for a library, burying herself in books and drinking wine out of a tumbler. Her mother nags at her constantly... to get married, have children, and to have a breast reduction. However, Alex isn't interested in romantic relationships, and would rather settle for "Roger" her vibrator, and a good erotic romance novel. When "Roger" is out of commission, she heads to the sex shop to pick out a new vibrator, and then to the nearby hotel to test it out...
In her excitement, she winds up in somebody else's room. Lucky for her that somebody is handsome, multi-millionare hotelier, Solomon Avery.
Solomon comes home to find a strange woman sleeping in his hotel bed. Thinking she is somebody else, he climbs in with her and gives her the best sex of her life. Conquest over, they return to their lives.
Only thing is, Solomon isn't ready to let go of Alex just quite yet...
Promises by Ellen March is an erotic romance with some of the hottest sex scenes I have ever read in a book. I mean really, they are out of this world! There is never a dull moment between Alex and Solomon. Either they are screwing each other senseless, or close to throttling each other out of anger. The passion is all consuming, making this book a page turner!
This book will not disappoint fans of erotic romance! 5 stars!

Because the author emphasized on the lusty side of the relationship, I didn't believe the romance. But this is erotica after all. Why give you flower when I can give you orgasm, right?
The hero's transformation was like: jerk didn't do relationship - sex sex sex - lovey dovey let's have baby.
And I just couldn't like the heroine. We all want a heroine we can relate to, not some supermodel Mary Sue slash Martha Stewart, but what does this heroine has except big breasts? She's thirty two years old, working in some dingy library to escape her mother. What did she do before that? It was mentioned she had some university degrees, why didn't she had a good paying job before and why did she waited that long to escape if her mother really that unbearable? And she's a slob. Is that supposed to endear her to the reader, the fact that she couldn't pick up after herself? The author mentioned that she had a volatile temper, but I think she was just plain rude. She was insecure because of the constant put down from her mother, but there's no resolution to this problem from the author. No confrontation or forgiveness.
Well, she did grow up near the end, but I've lost interest by then.
