So glad that I still decided to give this book a try, even though ‘Things we wanted to say (but never did)’ was such a disaster. This book made up for it and made me even more excited to read more Monica Murphy books in the future!
When she’s sold to a Medicare-eligible magnate with the highest bid, Sylvie gives the most intimate piece of herself to the only man she’s ever loved, before accepting her fate. Until one day she runs into him at a wedding. He's older and still unbearably handsome. Their undeniable connection draws them together. Her mother is very much a psychotic demon. I hated her in all the other books and despise her even more in this one! The things she did to her family and especially her children is unforgivable and so disgusting. So glad that she got what she deserved at the end and won’t be a bother anymore. Karma wins once again! What I thought would be a straight forward story of redemption turned out to be so much more. This story shows that love can overcome it all. This story can be read as a standalone, it takes place in a time line differently from “things I wanted to say, but never did”.The spicy scenes also weren’t too much or took up too much of the plot which I liked. They were actually quite hot and well written if you ask me! After Sylvie’s toxic mother forces her to marry a man 50 years older than her and leave behind the love of her life, Sylvie and Spencer don’t speak for three years, until they meet again at her brother’s wedding. Addictive, angsty and unforgettable . . . their chemistry was explosive' 5***** READER REVIEW Read more Look Inside Details Monica is really started this one off with a bang. This story has this rich aristocratic feel throughout it. It’s filled with darker tones, and top notch angst. It’s definitely different then anything else in the Lancaster world we have seen so far, and I was loving it. Thank you so much to Monica Murphy and Valentine PR for providing me an advanced readers copy of Promises We Meant to Keep, I had such a great time reading.
The contradictions of Sylvie’s personality are what makes her the most intriguing to me, I think. Combined with the dichotomy of the ever-patient yet fierce Spencer, the duo’s romance is an emotionally charged, coming of age story full of tender moments and explosive couplings. Ah, the lies we tell ourselves. It’s almost embarrassing, how easily I believe myself when it’s the furthest thing from the truth.’ Bold, brazen, depraved, and delicious! Their chemistry is complicated and consuming. A beautiful mess - equal parts twisted and magical' 5***** Reader Review But then I did the unthinkable and betrayed him in the worst possible way. I thought I lost him forever…This book was quite unlike any other romance I’ve ever read, from the characters, to the way the whole story was structured, it was truly one of a kind. When Whit gets into trouble one night, Summer invites him in. Tends to his wounds. Lets her guard down, just for a moment . . . Their relationship is also so well developed! Considering that it’s a second chance romance makes it even better! They had chemistry and love for one another from the get go and how their relationship developed in the past was also so endearing and not weird or overboard! It was just so cute and it made sense!! It just made me enjoy the book even more.
Intense and fabulously consuming. I loved every heart-pounding, gut-wrenching, over-the-top sexy moment' 5***** Reader Review Read more Look Inside Details You say you love me again and I’m never going to let you go. It doesn’t matter what happens. I’m by your side until the day I die.”The booktalk will start the last day of each month ( new members who have read the book in the past are very welcome to join). Books that are recommended can not be older that 2 years. I have been in love with you for so long, I don’t know how to stop. I will do whatever it takes to make this work. On the surface, Sylvie Lancaster is the stereotypical “poor little rich girl.” However, on the inside she’s vulnerable, broken. Despite their truth, no one believes the outlandish claims she makes leaving her lonely on top of everything else. Intense and fabulously consuming. I loved every heart-pounding, gut-wrenching, over-the-top sexy moment' 5***** Reader Review If you read things I wanted to say, then you remember Sylvie. I am one of those people. I have been waiting for her story for a while now, and it’s nothing I could ever imagine.
Great Deal
