This was a nice quick read. I always enjoy this authors work. Lee Walker is a young woman trying to make it in a "mans" world trying to prove to herself and others she can stand on her own two feet, be successful against the odds of being a woman and part Native American. But she has a past that is haunting her, holding her emotionally back and hurting her. Sam Brown is a handsome, professional and successful business man who finds Lee very interesting, spunky and sexy. When Lee comes to work for Sam, sparks fly in all ways. They have their stuggles bringing their relationship together. I laughed, loved and cried over this story. A sweet, heartfelt, short story. It was nice reading on a cold, rainy day. I only gave it four stars only because it was a fast read, and you never really got to know all of the characters.
What do You think about A Promise To Cherish (2004)?
A fine story until two major fights which brought it down to a 3 for me.The fights were not fun to read about. This was the love of her life, but she was being stupid with stubbornness. Her actions annoyed me.The main story was good. She is part American Indian working as a water/sewer construction job estimator. She works for an unethical slob. She meets Sam who owns a competing company.It’s half the length of a regular novel.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 159 pages. Swearing language: mild. Sexual language: none to mild. Number of sex scenes: 3. Setting: around 1983 Kansas City, Missouri, and Denver, Colorado. Copyright: 1983. Genre: contemporary romance.
