Promise Me This

Wilder Family, Book 3

De: Karla Sorensen

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, JF Harding

Imagine this: an author with a raging case of writers block finds an unexpected source of inspiration in her grumpy, gorgeous new roommate. Sounds amazing, right? Except that new roommate is my childhood best friend. And Ian Wilder has been off-limits since I was five.

It's been over a decade since I've seen him, but when I return to my hometown after years away, Ian's exactly the man I remembered. The same guy who gave me his coat on a playground when we were kids and promised he'd take care of me forever. I need a quiet place to work with this deadline looming. I need a place where my daughter can unwind. Enter Ian with an offer I can't refuse: his spare bedroom.

It's an easy yes. Except now, the problem is I can't stop thinking about him, and these thoughts? They're wandering out of the friend zone. I keep imagining very creative ways to rip off his clothes. And Ian starts giving me looks of his own, the kind that make my heart race.

One night, we cross a line we can't uncross. The lines have blurred, and our friendship is hanging by a thread.

Imagine this: a woman falling for her best friend. And she has no idea if he feels the same.

The Sequel

It draws you in because the first book was great as well! Now the sequel is great!

Poignant and emotional

Showcases love in all forms: that if a patent to child, a child to parent, siblings, best friends and romantic love. It holds laughter and joy, as well as grief and loss. Truly what life is like in family who lives and loves and grieves and celebrates as one. Beautiful book. Phenomenal series.

Life-long friends turned lovers

I enjoyed this friends to lovers story. Harlow and Ian were best friends from a very young age all the way through high school, then lost touch for many years. After they run into each other again it’s almost as if no time has passed. They both feel an attraction, but Ian is afraid to cross the line and risk losing his best friend. But who better to fall for than the one who has been “your person” for basically your entire life? Ian is a great guy with a bit of a stoic exterior, but Harlow is the one he lets through that. The way he bonded with and looked out for her daughter was really touching. I loved the HEA for all of them. Excellent narration in this one, too. CJ Bloom does a great kid voice and I can always count on JF Harding to give a swoon-worthy performance.

I had to wait until chapter 30 for any spicy action! WTF!

really good story. but so many words! the longest, slowest burn! as with all the books in this series, totally worth it. that being said, it's a trial. an exercise in patience with lots of frustration!

Very Nice Story

I enjoyed this story. I got lost in the minutiae sometimes. So many minute details I didn't need and didn't seems to move the story along. But, hey, I couldn't have written the story, so kudos! Overall a sweet and finally HEA.
