A Soldier's Promise

by Cheryl Wyatt

"My name's Bradley. I'm eight and have cancer. I want to meet a Special Forces soldier more than anything. Well, almost anything. Having a family would be nice."

Customer Reviews

A Sweet Story I loved!!!!!!!!!!

I loved A Soldier's Promise. That sweet man, so conflicted and hurt, but so honorable and kind. And the teacher trying to do right by her little student. The thing is, we always know, if we're reading a romance that it's gonna be happily every after, right? But Cheryl Wyatt set this book up so we just didn't know, sure the hero and heroine would find a way to be together, but there was more at stake than them and Wyatt didn't necessarily give us all the easy answer, or then again, maybe she did. I'm not telling. But I PROMISE she's going to give you a story that's going to be hard to put down. I now that because I didn't get to bed last night until one a.m. And it's not like I just was determined to find out what happened and I defied good sense. Oh, no, Cheryl is sneakier than that. I just read and read and read. Then I put the book down and saw the clock. I was all the way gone into A Soldier's Promise. A beautiful story.

A wonderful debut!

I loved this debut novel by Cheryl Wyatt. It was a touching story with lovable characters. It's also a book that makes you laugh as well as cry--which for me is the sign of a great book. Definitely an inspiring story with laugh out loud moments. I highly recommend this book. And I really look forward to Cheryl Wyatt's next Love Inspired book due out in March!

Couldn't put it down!

I loved this book. It kept my attention through the whole thing. I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters and the humor, but also the sensitivity in the writing. Great job Cheryl Wyatt!! This book is highly recommended. I can't wait for more!

A story with warmth, hope, and humor

Cheryl Wyatt's debut novel A Soldier's Promise is a fast-paced tale filled with warmth, hope, and humor. Teacher Amber Stanton is in the midst of adopting Bradley, a sick, neglected student when pararescue jumper Joel Montgomery makes Bradley's wish come true, and in the process gives Amber a wish or two of her own. Don't miss this feel good, delightful story of two people who seek God's will for their lives and discover God will give them all they need to recover from their painful pasts and to fulfill His purpose in a way they never dreamed possible. I look forward to reading Wyatt's next book!

Humor + romance = a great debut book

Romance, adventure and humor collide in this memorable debut novel from author Cheryl Wyatt. Special ed teacher Amber Stanton has a special place in her heart for a student, Bradley, who is battling leukemia. When a visit from non-profit organization Dream Corps brings a Special Forces soldier into both of their lives, Amber takes a leap of faith and opens the lines of communication, and her heart. Little did pararescue jumper Joel Montgomery know that diving out of a plane in spite of his dislike for his hometown would land him in a relationship with the sweet and funny Amber. There's a reason Joel hasn't visited Refuge in years - being there dredges up painful memories best left buried in his past. Can Joel reconcile his past or will he lose his future with Amber? Will Amber find love again? This book packs a doozy of humor and romance into a small package. Cheryl has a way with witty repartee and it shows in almost every line of dialogue.
