I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING PASSION'S PROMISE WAS THE BOMB. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK TOUCHED ME. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL LOVE ON HOLD COMES OUT.
A Realistic Believable Romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Despite Jet's being rich, powerful, handsome, and a football legend, Cara brings out this little boy quality, making this icon of a man innocent, vunerable, and touchable. He is a man in love willing to do whatever it takes to keep Cara happy and in his life. Jet can't see that sometimes even with all his effort, he still neglects her basic need for his love, trust, and support. Cara is strong enough to recognize Jet's weaknesses and her own and to overlook his faults. She's often overwhelmed by the strength and passion of his love for her. I don't think she truly understands what she means to him goes beyond his company, family or himself. They are a fun couple and their struggles and determination to overcome personally and professionally make them an endearing couple your readers will surely treasure.
Enjoyable reading

I love reading books about woman and men in professionl roles and Passion's Promise had all of the things I love.There was lots of surprise and a happy ending. Jet's mother and stepmother had a relationship that was special like on one would have thought possible between a ex-wife and a present wife. I'm waiting for the next book that will continue this love affair.
Passion's Promise

This book was a great read. Like Ms. Townsend's first novel, this was not a romance in the traditional sense, but it was romanctic. The characters were so realistic. Unlike most romances where the hero is superhuman, Ms. Townsend allowed readers to see the hero's vulnerabilities. The contrast between Jet as a titan in corporate American and the boyishness he displayed with the woman he loved was particularly touching. I also liked Cara's strength and determination in the face of their trials. Their chemistry was strong. I can't wait to read the sequel. I think I know who's buying up all the stock, but I want to know why.
Thanks for the Promise

Passion's Promise was uplifting. I am from the Tampa area and was glad to see it as the setting for this book. The Bay Area was shown as an exciting and inviting area. I am impressed with this writer's style, as her characters don't jump into bed from the beginning. There is a genuine relationship developed before intimacy. I have a teenager who likes to read romance novels and I am not hesitant in giving this one to her. The characters are developed well and you can feel their passion growing for each other but also understand that they respect each other's body as well as careers. We all know someone who fit these descriptions. This is the type of romance that all women dream of, a strong independent minded brother with a romantic side, good looks and the wealth don't hurt either. One can dream!!! Can't wait for the sequel.
