Trent Rockwell has it all—a thriving legal practice, co-ownership of the Rockwell Resort, and a big, loving family. And yet his failed marriage to Reese Nicholson has haunted him for ten long years. Now that he has moved back to Cape Cod Bay to help run his family’s resort, he is surrounded by memories of Reese…and he can’t stop longing for the woman he’d always believed was his one true love.…
At nineteen, artist Reese Nicholson was swept off her feet by the handsome, charming, and incredibly sensual Trent Rockwell. After a whirlwind courtship, they married and moved to New York City, where they hoped all of their personal and professional dreams would come true. But six months later, Reese returned to Rockwell Island brokenhearted and disillusioned.
For a decade, Trent and Reese carefully kept their distance. But all it takes is one accidental late-night encounter to immediately stir the desires they have both tried to bury deep. Powerless to resist the heat between them, every passionate kiss, loving caress, and heartfelt apology draws them closer together. So close that they can’t help but wonder if the promises they once made to love each other forever are still true…
As much as I love and (often) devour the most drama filled romances, there are times when I just want to read one that is about two characters overcoming the odds while working through their emotions and fall in love. That is what I loved the most about Cape Cod Promises. There isn't the typical monkey wrench that separates the couple until they get in through their think skulls that they belong together. Nope, in this book, Trent and Reese know from the get-go that they belong together again. It is just a matter of working through 10 years of pent up emotions, fears, and frustrations that stand in their way. Rather than fight and bicker, they have heart to heart conversations that allow them to lay their hearts on the table. And I loved every bit of it. Cape Cod Promises was so beautifully written. The characters were realistic and lovable. Both learn and grow from their past mistakes. Absolutely a fabulous romance from start to finish. I am a big Melissa Foster fan and this series has sparked my interest in reading a Bella Andre book to experience her writing before starting the third book in the series to see just how well their writing styles mesh.
