The Promise by Lesley Pearse

4.0

This book picks straight up where Belle ended. Which was an amazing book, I think this one helped building my book addiction. I've always been a fan of Lesley Pearse and she did a brilliant job again.

Belle had a tough life. She lived in a brothel ruled by her mother and was kidnapped for witnessing a murder. She's taken abroad and used for prostitution.

During all of that suffering she meets Etienne Carrera, yum. Who unfortunately works for the wrong people, the ones who took Belle. However, he manages to always be her real savior. There's lots of obstacles for them to work... But the connection they experienced cannot be forgotten! Plus, Etienne is freakishly hot, just saying...

And we have Jimmy, oh so sweet Jimmy. The love of Belle's childhood, he fought to get her back, he fought to get her love. He never gave up on her, that's really admirable. He's really sweet and cute, he's quite a catch.


Belle posses the hearts of two amazing men Jimmy and Etienne but only one of them posses her heart as well. In a time of war, we have to fight for the love of our life.


The heart wants what the heart wants


I love Lesley Pearse's novels, she's a marvelous writer, I will never get bored with her books, that I'm sure of! Brilliantly written, believable, strong and powerful characters. I wasn't able to let go of this book. It's really good.
