Jhett
has lived on the edge for as long as he could remember - constantly teetering
back and forth between being a rock star and living a normal life. His
rebellious and sometimes arrogant attitude is known to get him into trouble,
especially with the girls who hang on his every move.
Charlie
never thought that a trip to pack up her brother’s apartment would leave her
feeling even more unsettled about the grainy details of her brother’s death.
Her quest for information leads her straight to his old hangout and into arms
of Jhett, who suspiciously knows more about her situation than he ever should.
Only a
few questions remain - Can you trust someone based on their word alone? And if
you make a promise, how far will you go to keep it?

Review
First off, I LOVE the
cover of this book. The sweetness of the beach and the sunset off set by the
sexiness of the tattoos is a perfect pair. I admittedly have a thing for guys
with tattoos so it’s no surprise that I fell in love with Jhett. I also fell in
love with the story line.
Jhett does his best to
fulfill a promise he made to Charlie’s brother to take care of Charlie if
anything were to happen to him, he also does what her brother was never able to
do; talk Charlie into being her own person and not always conforming to what
was expected of her. Charlie was able to discover herself and find love in the
midst of tragedy.
I will say I was bummed
that it ended in a cliffhanger, I’m glad it stopped where it did and not half a
chapter earlier but I will want so badly to know NOW what happens with Jhett
and Charlie. I will be anxiously awaiting the release of Promise Me Forever
towards the end of the year.

Excerpt
Panic quickly spread throughout my body.
Someone was in the house. It was my worst nightmare. Frantically, I searched
the kitchen for the closest sharp object, producing a butcher knife from the
block on the counter. I held my breath as I crept on my tiptoes down the hall.
Another boom caught me off
guard. It came from ‘my’
room. I hadn’t spent much time in there
since I moved in, because things with Jhett escalated pretty quickly. I reached
for the doorknob with one hand and raised the knife above my head with the
other. Squeezing my eyes shut with hope that I could figure out how to defend
myself, I flung the door open with my shoulder.
“DON’T MOVE! I HAVE A KNIFE!” I shouted into
the dim room. My adrenaline spiked so high, I could have been one of those
people who tossed cars around with one hand. I scanned the room furiously
before my eyes landed on a small, shadowy frame in the corner.
“Seriously?
That’s what you would do if someone broke in? ‘Don’t move. I have a knife.’”
Laughter spilled out from the mocking figure that stood in front of me. I was
so scared and confused that it was difficult to focus. I just stood there
stupidly with my mouth to the floor. “Okay, let’s just put this knife away
before you hurt someone, Rambo.”

wouldn't leave her alone until she typed it up on the computer. She already is
hard at work on ideas for her next book and hopes that the characters never
stop coming to her. Her huge imagination was always in overdrive as a child and
now she is beyond excited to put it to good use as an adult. She plans to write
