Promise Me Always

Promise Me Always by Kari March
18656877
Description:
Blake Bentley had a rough upbringing, never fully believing he was good enough for anything or anyone. After being left with a broken heart by his only girlfriend, Blake swore off relationships for good and turned to the only two things that made him feel sufficient - sex and firefighting. 

Tessa Collins was brought up in the traditional 'perfect' family - loving parents, great sister, and amazing friends. After falling in love with Jared, her life was perfect - until he betrayed her. She has no idea that his betrayal could end up costing her more than just a shattered heart.

Blake and Tessa have been friends since high school. Never wanting to admit their attraction for each other, the two always remained close friends. Now, three years later, Blake and Tessa find themselves being pulled together by a force much greater than friendship. 

Blake and Tessa have promised to be friends forever, but as fate pulls them together, they embark on a roller coaster ride of a lifetime. Will his self doubt and her insecurities keep them apart? Or will they be able to promise each other always? 


My Thoughts:
Sigh. This book reminds me in a way of my own relationship. Sometimes you find that your best friend is even better when they are more than a friend. I loved this book. It was sweet and I just couldn’t put it down!!

Blake Bentley is hot. Of course it helps that he is also a fireman, all those muscles sure don’t hurt anything!  He has only found love once in his life and when his heart is crushed by her he decides that he doesn’t need that in his life anymore.

Tessa Collins is a kind, trusting, loving person. However, sometimes those are not good qualities. When her ex proves to her yet again that he cannot be trusted she falls back on her friends that she has always trusted. One of those friends is Blake.  Even with the betrayal fresh in her mind and heart Tessa can’t help but feel the connection she has always felt around Blake.

When they are pushed together will they finally allow their hearts to take that leap of faith? Will it be enough to protect them both or will the past come back and rip them apart forever? It takes a drastic situation for them both to realize what fate and their friends have been saying all along. Sometimes your best friend is your best lover.


I can’t say again how much I really loved this book. If you have read the With Me in Seattle series by Kristen Proby you will love this book as well. It is part of a series, but is just getting started and doesn’t leave you hanging. I love how the other characters in this book will get their own stories told. I hope we see more of Blake and Tessa in future books!
