Promises

by Kristy Kay

Taylor Miller led a sheltered life with her scholarly father until she chose to take a year before college and move in with her more whimsical mother. There she met the wild, impetuous Jack Rodgers who swept her off her feet with promises of a lifetime of unbreakable love, and unshakeable faith. 14 years, 2 year, and 6 tours of Iraq later Jack, now an Army Ranger, shatters all those promises in a bid to protect the only woman he will ever love from his hidden demons, destroying her completely instead. While trying to learn to live with the devastating pain Taylor meets Ian Brennan, an Irish businessman with his own dark heartache. He reminds her that she is a woman, not just a wife and mother and he teaches her to live despite the pain. Taylor soon realizes her life isn't worth living without her whole heart and Jack finally realizes that he can't fight his demons alone, but will it be too late? Are there some promises once broken that can't be forgiven?

5 Stars

Contemporary Romance/ YA


    This is an amazing book. It gives you enough back and forth between  the past and present as not to be boring. That’s where the YA comes to play in book.


    You’ll be taken into the lives of Taylor and Jack, and their family and friends. Find out how they met, and how they are dealing with a family crisis.

And how the love and friendship from some great people help the healing  begin.

    I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I hope there is another in

this series.

At first I was like huh? whats this? But the author completely cleared that up soon. It goes back and forth between the past and the present so you understand whats going on and at the same time it doesnt get boring. I like the way we get a look into the lives of Taylor and Jack and their family and friends. We find out how they met and how they deal with the drama that is their family crisis. The different POV's really add something to this and makes it all the more interesting. This is a wonderful story about forgiveness, second chances and true love.
I myself would love to know what happend to that poor, handsome guy Ian.....hihihi

Promises by Kristy Kay is an unconventional second chance romance. None of the traditional tropes I often find in romance novels are here and it was a refreshing change of pace. The story is primarily from the POV of Taylor and Jack, but you also get in the head of several other characters as well. It could get confusing if you haven't read Kay's previous book Breathe, but you could read this as a standalone if you want. I recommend to anyone who believes in forgiveness and second changes and the power of true love.

Loved this second book just as much as the first. It was great to read Taylor & Jack's story, with the characters from book 1 in the background it felt like a continuation of this groups story. Now I want to hear about Ian & William.

2nd book of the series was just as good as the first. A bit more intense in this one but it made really good reading.
