PROMISE MY ALWAYS is the first book in The Pinky Promise Sisterhood Series. Of course, I didn’t know that when I read ALONG CAME A COWBOY, the second book in the series. And since I enjoyed that one, I decided to take a step back and read book one as well. I’m glad I did. PROMISE ME ALWAYS is a fast read with fun characters and a unique premise wrapped around a typical plot.
Allie Richards is a widowed mother of two. When she is laid off from her job, she decides to follow her dream and open her own landscaping business. Unfortunately, the bank is not as enthusiastic as she is. When she fails to secure a loan, she enters the Shady Grove beautification contest - first prize- the city landscape contract, a new truck, and prize money. Now, all she needs is a staff to take on her adventurous project. No problem. Her Pinky Sisterhood friends jump in with love, support, and spade in hand. Everything seems to be going as planned, until she realizes Daniel Montgomery, will be following her around with a camera to document her progress for the local reality show. Daniel is the high school bad boy who’s returned to his hometown as a changed man, or has he? Other than being the reality show cameraman, he rides a Harley, owns the new local coffee shop hangout, and desires to be an author. Though Allie is attracted to Daniel, she ignores her feelings. She knows the next man she marries has to be a dependable, stable, father figure to her impressionable young girls, not a rebel turned daydreamer. Daniel’s pursuit of Allie, challenges her determination to remain nothing more than friends.
PROMISE ME ALWAYS is a fun, carefree story. Predictable, but hey, most romances are. A good read.♥
