Series: Port-Cartier, Book 1
Review:
For those who wish for a second chance at first love
A provocative text from a “restaurant” pops up on Lucy’s boyfriend’s phone, and she immediately knows it’s over. Returning home to Port-Cartier from Seattle to clear her head before she needs to return to work, the last person Lucy wants to see is her first love, Luke. Ten years ago, he broke her heart, too. But Luke is determined to make up for lost time, and when Lucy’s mother ends up in the hospital causing her to extend her stay, Luke gets a chance to break through the walls she has built to protect her heart.
Broken Promises is a quick, sweet, and steamy read. Anyone who loves second-chance romance and swoon-worthy men who fall hard and fast will love this story. Like many cheaters, Lucy’s ex won’t give up even though he’s the one who had an affair. His recurrent presence does little to sway Lucy, however, who is securely over that relationship. It is refreshing to read about a heroine who doesn’t blame herself for her partner’s cheating or pine after him despite his obvious lack of respect for the relationship. I enjoyed this book and its extended-epilogue-turned-novella,
Christmas Promises. Read both if you enjoy your Hallmark love stories with a dash of spice.
Audience: adult
Trigger warnings: cheating, abandonment
Recommended for fans of: second chance romance, small-town, high school sweethearts, he falls first, insta-love
Publisher's Synopsis:
Some promises were never meant to be broken…
Lucy Milburne had her heart broken a decade ago. After leaving her small hometown to escape the painful memories, she has built a new life in the big city as a second-grade teacher. With a boyfriend and possibly the best friend in the world, everything seems perfect—until it all comes crashing down during summer break. Left with no other choice, Lucy returns to Port-Cartier to mend her broken heart and face the past she thought she had left behind.
Luke Everett broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved ten years ago, but he has never stopped loving her. Each day without her has been torture, but he accepted his fate long ago. He never expected to see her again, but now that she's back in Port-Cartier, he knows he can’t let her go again.
Ten years have passed, and their lives can’t be any more different. But, when an unfortunate accident forces Lucy to stay in the town longer than she intended, old flames spark back up. They both realize some promises were never meant to be broken. The only question is, can they find a second chance at love?
