My Review:

Rating 5/5

A Brother’s Promise is part of the Bliss, Texas series but was good as a stand-alone. I do not feel as though I missed anything by reading it as a stand-alone.  The book was well written and the pacing was perfect.  The characters had depth and were easy to connect with.  The book drew me in from the beginning and I could not put it down until I finished.  I loved seeing Mick, the loner cowboy, become wrapped around his niece Sadie’s fingertips. She was such an adorable little girl and full of personality. 

Mick had promised his sister to take care of Sadie if something happened to her and her husband.  So not only was he devastated by his sister’s death, but his life had been turned upside down trying to adjust to taking care of a young child.  Christa was so supportive of Mick and kept reminding him to keep the faith.  She bonded instantly with Sadie and was able to relate to her and her parent’s death.  Christa helped Mick and Sadie with their grief and helped them grow to be a family of their own.

I enjoyed seeing Christa and Mick’s relationship slowly change from neighbors to more.  Mick’s past relationships made him weary and he had doubts Christa would be interested in him but eventually he overcame his doubts.  This was a new-to-me author and I found the book to be charming and easy to read.  I look forward to reading future books by this author. 

I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review.  All opinions and thoughts are my own.
