Promise Me Always by Kari March Review

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

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?

Review

Promise Me Always follows the story of Tessa and Blake, it is told from both of their POV’s and it covers both the past and the present. Tessa and Blake are friends, they have fun together, they share things with each other, and they have the promise of always staying friends. But is it really what they both want?

The first few lines in this book sucked me in “You’re worthless. A f*ing accident. You don’t deserve S*t.” I wanted to know more about the person that had been told this all their lives and what made them honestly believe that this was true. Blake is the little boy who grows to believe that this is true. He feels like he isn’t good enough, he doesn’t deserve happiness and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve someone as amazing as Tessa.

Tessa is the sweet girl who gets trampled all over by her ex, she should have seen it coming but she didn’t. Tessa gets hurt and turns to the one person who is always there for her, her sister. But going to see her matchmaker of a sister soon turns out to be the best thing that could happen for her.

Blake wants Tessa, Tessa wants Blake and an event that they attend together soon makes them both aware of how they are feeling. “I f*ing wanted this girl. No, I needed her and I was going to do everything in my power to f*ing make her mine.” Things seem to be going well for these two, although jealousy can be a nasty thing….. One night is all it takes for things to go wrong. “She loved me by the grace of God and I had just destroyed everything”

Ex’s resurface, more pain is caused, friendships are tested, relationships are pushed to breaking point and is it possible that love conquers all?

Kari March did an amazing job with this book, I loved this book. I look forward to reading the next book.

“Promise Me?” “Always, baby girl. Always.”
