A Promise Kept Synopsis:
Closing her heart a long time ago, Grace Clark made a promise she’s vowed to keep. Having Hollywood heartthrob Evan Matthews move in next door with his alluring good looks, charisma, wit, and sexy smile is a temptation that runs the risk of compromising the importance of that promise.
Evan is drawn to his new neighbor. Grace is the exact opposite of the women he normally encounters. Enticing, down-to-earth, and confident, she captivates him. She has no problems facing off with Evan, and he soon realizes Grace is much more than just a challenge. He wants to prove himself to her.
Grace can see the man beyond the actor, and with more than just her pride at stake, she needs to hold tight to her promise before Evan breaks through all her walls, exposing her heart.

My Review:
A Promise Kept is the debut work from author Anissa Garcia and with a freshman work this wonderful, I see a bright future ahead of her! This story was heartfelt, emotional, flirty, and just plain fun to read.
A chance meeting sets Grace and Evan on a path to a beautiful love and, for Grace, a necessary healing. Grace’s heart was broken years earlier with a horrible loss and she now vows to keep a promise she made on the night her world was forever changed. It’s a promise that has kept her happy, but also single. She’s optimistic she will one day find the man willing to take the chance on her, give her the time she needs to be able to open up and take things slow in order to find a lasting love. Enter Evan. It didn’t matter that he was a wildly popular movie star and can have any woman he wants because once he sees Grace, he only has eyes for her.
I really enjoyed the pace of Evan and Grace’s relationship. It has a very real and believable feel with honesty and caution. I appreciated that immensely. There was a ton of emotion between them as well as a delicious building attraction and tension that I loved. Watching these two go from friends to lovers was so beautiful and touching,
I also really enjoyed the trio of friends both Evan and Grace have. Their banter was so fun to read and I sure hope we get to read more of them!
Thank you, Anissa, for a wonderful read!
