Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Jhett has lived on the edge for as long as he could remember - constantly teetering back and forth between being a rock star and living a normal life. His rebellious and sometimes arrogant attitude is known to get him into trouble, especially with the girls who hang on his every move.
Charlie never thought that a trip to pack up her brother’s apartment would leave her feeling even more unsettled about the grainy details of her brother’s death. Her quest for information leads her straight to his old hangout and into arms of Jhett, who suspiciously knows more about her situation than he ever should.
Only a few questions remain - Can you trust someone based on their word alone? And if you make a promise, how far will you go to keep it?
My Review:
Charlie has just lost her brother, her twin brother, to an accident. Cameron and Charlie was twin in every way, except that Cameron wasn’t afraid to leave home to get away from under their mother’s thumb and spread his wings. Charlie on the other hand, despite Cameron’s encouragement, stayed back home living the life that would make their mother happy rather than really follow in Cameron’s footsteps. But when Cameron’s death brings Charlie to San Diego, to pack up what’s left of her brother, she has to face more than she had expected to.
Charlie is a character that you can’t help but fall for immediately. Losing a twin is like losing one’s limb. To cope with that without any emotional support from her family and then to go ahead and make huge changes to her life, one has to be strong for that. And Charlie is a strong girl, stubborn, but strong. Jhett on the other hand is like a walking Adonis with Tattoos. He is the kind of guy every girl’s parents are wary of. He walks into Charlie’s life to set her free from all that had been stopping her from spreading her wings. Together they can set water on fire.
This book is an emotional bomb that can set anyone off. Characters are well developed and the storyline flows without the glitch. Somewhat predictable yet a heart-warming story of a couple of loveable protagonists. The author’s fluid writing style really compliments the plot of the story. Sarah has wisely chosen her genre and this is an awesome debut. I would love to keep track of her future works.
About The Author
Sarah Ashley Jones was raised in San Diego, California, but currently wrangles her husband and four dogs in Clarksville, Tennessee. When she's not writing she works in a pottery studio and comes home covered in paint on a daily basis. She has a slightly unhealthy obsession with cupcakes and chapstick. She is an eternal optimist and can often be found dancing and singing to music at any given time. It's rare to see her not smiling or laughing, but if you do, just bring her a cupcake and it will cheer her up.
Promise Me This is her first novel and is a story that weaseled its way into her heart and wouldn't leave her alone until she typed it up on the computer. She already is hard at work on ideas for her next book and hopes that the
characters never stop coming to her. Her huge imagination was always in overdrive as a child and now she is beyond excited to put it to good use as an adult. She plans to write as long as she has stories that need to be told.

HERE'S A LITTLE TEASER JUST FOR YOU
“Is there something on my face?” I asked, mid-wipe.
“You’ve got a little…frosting…” He chuckled as he brought his hand up to my cheek and ran the gentle pad of his thumb over my now parted lips. He inspected his work and frowned. “I don’t think I got it all…” His voice was a low growl as he leaned in and kissed the corner of my lips; trailing feathery kisses at a teasingly slow place down to the center of my bottom lip, before sucking it all the way into his mouth. He nibbled on it softly while he tangled his hand into my hair and deepened the kiss. I was leaning into him, craving more of his touch with each second that passed.
Jhett brought his other hand up to my cheek, cupped my face with both hands, and broke the kiss. I let out an unexpected whimper as he drew my forehead in to his. “Any more of that, and we won’t make it to the rest of your birthday presents,” he said between breaths.
I sat back and folded my hands into my lap. “Well, if we get to do that again as one of them, I’m all about it,” I smirked at him.
