A love story that will break your heart. Perfect for fans of Karen Swann and Lulu Taylor.
Some bonds can never be broken
One terrible moment changes everything for teenagers Kate and David. Brought together during the darkest of times of the Troubles, a spark of hope is ignited between them – a hand held in the darkness, a promise whispered. Neither of them will ever forget those moments.
It’s another ten years before they meet once more, and their lives are now so different. The promise they made to each other on that fateful day still binds them, but now they have so much more to lose.
Have they missed their one chance at happiness? They only way they will ever know is to risk everything to be together. Is that too high a price to pay for love…?

My Review:
The Promise is a beautiful, emotional book that manages to be both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
I love a story of forbidden love and this book was no exception. I felt quickly drawn into the story and into the lives of the characters. The book is set in Ireland and follows the unrest caused by religious divide there. This is something I remember seeing on TV as a kid or hearing stories of from my dad who was posted there so the story seemed very more real to me.
The blurb promises an emotional read and the author definitely delivers on that promise as I often found myself welling up as I read. The author has an amazing way of making the reader feel like they are actually there watching everything unfold and that they know the characters so I felt every twist as if it was happening to me which I thought was very effective.
Overall i loved this book and have continued to think about it long after I’ve finished reading. It’s a beautiful love story which has more depth to it then I was expecting which I really enjoyed. It’s also a story of hope both in the sense of what the reader hopes for the characters but also, maybe, hope for peace in Ireland one day.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper for my copy of this book. If you’re looking for a book to curl up and escape into I highly recommend this one.
