Recommendation
I’ve enjoyed this series and Promise Me This is no exception. It’s a sweet love story of two opposites: the preppy, rich player and the tatted-up girl who doesn’t sleep around. They’re friends who would banter and flirt, but an accidental weekend away together gets the sparks flying. Nate and Jessie heat up the bedroom, but he’s holding back. This is one of those predictable romances, but I enjoyed the drama of Nate’s family and the passion Nate and Jessie shared. It’s the perfect quick weekend read. [October 2014]
Publisher synopsis
A new love will test the boundaries of passion between a privileged boy next door and the tattooed, blue-haired girl who helps him embrace his wild side…
Nate has developed quite a playboy reputation around campus. It's not that he doesn't respect or trust women; he doesn't trust himself. The men in Nate’s family are prone to abusive behavior—a dirty secret that Nate’s been running from his entire life—so Nate doesn't do relationships. But he can’t help himself around one girl…
Jessie is strong, independent, and works at a tattoo parlor. Nate can’t resist getting close to her, even if it’s strictly a friendship. But it doesn't take long for Nate to admit that what he wants with Jessie is more than just friendly.
With Jessie, he can be himself and explore what he’s always felt was a terrifying darkness inside him. Even when Nate begins to crave her in a way that both shocks and horrifies him, Jessie still wants to know every part of him. Testing their boundaries together will take a trust that could render them inseparable… or tear them apart.
