Maggie, a widow whose husband died overseas, is a hardworking mom, raising her young son and working in her cafe. Her brother-in-law, Jake, just out of the military, comes to visit, and to help Maggie any way he can, honoring his promise to his brother. What Jake didn’t count on was having feelings for Maggie that went beyond those of just a brother-in-law. This romance has its ups and downs, and a tense moment or two, but promises to be a sweet read. It’s a nice story, with likable characters, and no villains to spoil it.

A younger brother was smitten at once with Maggie, in the service, and killed before Alex was born,Jake now retired from the service, keeping a promise to his brother to look after them. Taking care of Alex for awhile, till he got a job. She had her hands full will the diner, and.now catering, plus being in a wedding. While Alex wanted someone to play catch with.
A house with a barn, big enough for parties and more kids. Could this time, turn to be a family affair. Good enjoyable finding love and family.

Truly a Sweet Promise
Sweet Promises was a really enjoyable book. It was sweet that a brother wanted to honor a promise to his brother, that should anything happened to him as he fought in the middle east, he would take care of his wife and little son. What a delight that he truly fell in love with them both, and they also felt the same!

Interesting
I like the energy Maggie has, and the enthusiasm she puts into everything. Just found her a bit annoying, in how she doesn't ask for assistance when she miscalculates. Enjoyed the relationships in the story. Liked the ending.

Jake and Maggie . She was a service widow with a six year old son . He was the brother of her deceased husband who was retired after 20 years at age of 38. He decides to visit them as he had promised brother to take care of them . Sweet love story/very tame one !

Romance at it's best
Being an army brat myself, so glad that Maggie has gotten her forever love and that it's someone who can understand what she has been through and needs not only for her but for Alex too.

I started this series last summer and just found this book and the next to continue the series. This is what I consider a beach read. Simple, doesn't take much effort to follow along and it is entertaining. Good book and narrator!

3.5 stars, enjoyable read. Guessable plot, but still an enjoyable read. It can be a read alone book, but follows well as third in the series.
