Promises

New Beginnings, Book 2

By: Michelle Lynn

Narrated by: Lynn Devereux

Do you promise you'll always be here for me?

It was a game they played, only it wasn't a game. Maggie Marks held on to Elijah's childhood promises as a way of escaping a life that was far from perfect. Elijah Lugo was her neighbor, her best friend, her family. He was everything her parents refused to be, everything she needed. He was her first kiss and a witness to more of her father's drunken rants than she could count. He was there at her wedding and then held her when it all fell apart. Elijah was in love with her, but she was afraid loving him would eventually mean losing him too.

They were no longer kids, pretending everything would work out in the end.

When Maggie's father reenters her life in an unexpected way, revealing long held secrets, her world is turned upside down and she will need Elijah more than ever.

A story of friendship and family - the promises you make and the ones you keep.

Beautiful with all the feels!

Wow, so much more of a story than I expected. It had all the feels. I love the friends to lovers story. There was plenty of heartbreak but so much love. I was so happy for them by the end. The narrator did a great job as well. I didn't realize when I started that it was book 2 of a series and it was so good I am heading to read the first one in the series!

Heartfelt Romance Between Best Friends

This is an emotional story with some sad and heartfelt moments. The main character has gone through a lot with her alcoholic father and stepmother.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life and expressing emotions.

Promises is a story of best friends that are always there for each other. The story goes back and forth a bit to reveal how things were like when they were kids and now. It is a pretty clean teen/young adult book that has great characters and a strong story line.

I'm looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

Emotional story

I loved listening to this love story that started out as friends for many years. I didn't read book one, but didn't feel lost listening to book two. Recommend this sweet and emotional story both the author and narrator did a wonderful job.

What a book!!!

Both the author and narrator were new to me on this book. I loved the story of Promises. Some promises are kept, some are broken, some are changed. This is a sweet love story that compasses so much. The author did a great job of character development and wrote an original story. The narrator did a very good performance, it was just was difficult to differentiate between the various characters. I felt this book was full of hope after betrayal and so many emotions. This is a standalone listen. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and or publisher.

Promises made, only one broken

This is the first book I've read/listened to by Michelle Lynn. It was a good standalone, clean romance with heartbreaking moments. My heart did go out to both Elijah and Maggie, but their story was a bit frustrating for me. I can't really explain without spoilers. Overall it was a good, shorter book. I think those are the hardest to write.

Lynn Devereux is a wonderful narrator. She is the reason I requested a code for this book. She does both male and female voices well and is so easy to listen to for longer periods of time.
