By: Duckie Mack

Narrated by: Kevin Earlywine, Curtis Michael Holland

Jason loves his life as a stay-at-home dad, but being a divorced single father wasn't part of the plan.

Besides his kids, pies are his passion. He makes and sells his creations at the Heartcraft Market, but it's not enough to live off of.

After his father's recent health scare, Nico is determined to help revive their family diner. Then he meets Jason, whose pies are as sweet as he is, and an idea begins to form.

Jason's kids are everything to him, but his bed feels empty at night. Nico has always wanted a family, but he has yet to find a man that he could build a life with. Can a few pies lead to the promise of a future together?

Pies & Promises features two men whose love for family and food brings them together and has plenty of heart and heat baked in. The Heartcraft Market series features interconnected standalone novels that can be enjoyed on their own.

Cute. A little too sweet.

The story was cute. Fun to follow their love but it was too neat and overly sweet. Mills spice.

pies and promises

Was cute, story moved fast, didn't seem to have any meat to it, like the writer was trying to finish fast.

just fun

Audio Review
Kevin & Curtis do a beautiful job in making this book come to life. There is no over narration just simply put beautifully done. What a great way to enjoy a low angst story that just has you smiling from start to finish.


Now, this is how you do a single dad romance! Where yes, there is some hesitation but not to hinder the developing relationship. Nico is one of those guys who are all in from the getgo and make Jason able to move forward at his own pace. Then the kiddos they are as big as part of the story as the relationship, and for me, that's the way a single dad romance should be. Kids are a major part of their lives and should be. Without their support, this relationship couldn't have worked as beautifully as it did. It's such a beautiful story.

Sweet as pie!

It was so fun hearing Nico and Jason brought to life! Curtis and Kevin are a great team :)

Wonderful story.

I absolutely loved the connection between these wonderful men. They needed each other and figured out how to put their lives together. I love the two children that gave their love so freely. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves mm family story with a happy ending.
