Customer Reviews

Why Secrets?

I really enjoyed this book, lots of humor, believable and lots of romance. I just didn't understand why Craig had to keep hiding the secret about why he needed to marry? The story was great without all that extra drama, I think the author could've made him honest to begin without taking away from the story.

Is He For Real?

After seventeen years, Renee Richards gets a call from the last person she thought she would ever hear from with the strangest request she has ever heard. Craig Thompson is the best friend of Renee's brother who died seventeen years ago. She always had a crush on Craig, and on the day her brother died, a 16-year-old Craig asked a 12-year-old Renee to marry him...when he was ready. Well Craig is ready now. He is to inherit $3 million from his grandfather, but there is one stipulation: Craig has to be married in order to get his money, and he really needs that money. Renee is running from an ex who stole money from her and is now threatening her life. So when Craig calls with the outrageous proposition, she agrees for her own safety. Will this marriage of convenience turn out to be true love? For the most part, the story in Promises Made flows really well. There are a few instances where the story seems somewhat disconnected, but overall it has a nice flow. The characters are very likeable and with them Layton brings in a hint of everyday, real life humor. There are several secondary characters that help make the story. There is also an element of suspense that keeps the pages turning. Promises Made is a really good book. Reviewed by Tenecia for Urban Reviews
