About this deal
For it being a second chance romance, I expected us to see them a part for a while, read about their time together from high school and slowly see them get together. I think there should have been some groveling and time taken to properly heal their relationship (one of my favourite aspects of a second chance romance), but there wasn’t much of that at all. Powerful, brilliant, and ambitious, Dominic Davenport clawed his way up from nothing to become the King of Wall Street. The last time they are together she does something that she can’t take back resulting into them not seeing or speaking for years.
We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work.Thank you so much to Monica Murphy and Valentine PR for providing me an advanced readers copy of Promises We Meant to Keep, I had such a great time reading.
As a Lancaster, Sylvie would never be permitted to marry a Donato yet he’s the only person to see the real person behind the facade.
He’s literally so sweet, not toxic at all and he actually shows that he cares for her, instead of being an emotionally constipated piece of work.
Seemed like an entirely different character compared to the Sylvie in “things I wanted to say” (which I’m happy about bc I didn��t like her in that book) but we didnt really get to SEE that change. I loved A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime, so I was very excited to read the next book in the Lancaster series! I really hope Carolina gets a book in the future and I look forward to reading other books by this author, even though Promises We Meant to Keep wasn’t for me personally! The addictive story of second chances and star-crossed love by the TikTok phenomenon, Monica Murphy . I had been waiting for Sylvie's story since I read TIWTS, and I'm happy we finally got her POV and her back story.the only reason why I’m even giving this book a star is because of Whit and Summer, a book that didn’t even revolve around them😭This spinoff was unnecessary, I feel absolutely no sympathy for Sylvie (she didn’t evolve into a better person and she definitely thinks world problems don’t exist) and the romance aspect was NOT there.
