A Promise Made is the second book in the Promise series by Anissa Garcia. The Promise series are adult contemporary romances. I never had the chance to read A Promise Kept, book one in the series, but I had no problem following along with Josh's story. I thought it was a cute romance. A little heavy on the cheese, but cute nonetheless. I think lovers of romantic romances will enjoy this one.

I have to say I ended up liking Jose wayy more than I liked Marla. In fact, I found Marla to be a little annoying, which is why I didn't love this book as much as I wanted to. I felt like Jose was so nice to Marla every step of the way, and all she did was fight him, regardless of everything he was doing for her and to woo her. It didn't bug me at first, but after a while, I just wanted to tell her to snap out of it and start being nicer to him! Because Josh was a total sweetheart. I liked how persistent he was, but I wished he didn't have to be. I felt bad for him after a while. But he hung in there, and no matter what Marla threw at him, he seemed to take it all in stride. And he certainly never gave up. I admired that about him.

In the end, I liked the story of A Promise Made. I loved Josh and I loved the plot and writing. I tolerated Marla. She brought my love of the book down a notch or two. But if you are looking for a quick read that is well done and very romantic, check out A Promise Made. Read the excerpt below and see if this book will be for you. :)
