One is a Promise by Pam Godwin
3.0
3.5 stars. This was so frustrating! This was solid for a good 40~% of the book and then things started descending into madness. This wasn't an issue where the writing was bad and the writer is a fumbling mess, I just expected better from Pam Godwin.
The characters were engaging in unnecessary push/pull and their personalities became extremely inconsistent and this is A HUGE pet peeve of mine. I hate it when characters say they'll stand strong on something and then back peddle spectacularly shortly after! This happened so much with the heroine—she makes up her mind to rebuff the hero's advances, and then caves in a second. Her wishy-washiness felt immature and the author could've done better with this.
I did find it believable that.
Normally, I'd jump right into the next book after that cliffhanger, but the wishy-washiness, the character inconsistency makes me a bit hesitant. I do want to see how this plays out, but I hope the plot and the character development gets tighter.

the heroine is plausibly in love with both of the heroes. Sometimes it's obvious that one is "more" loved than the other, and it's not the case here. And I also found both heroes to be equally compelling in different waysNormally, I'd jump right into the next book after that cliffhanger, but the wishy-washiness, the character inconsistency makes me a bit hesitant.
