Cooper's Promise by Caitlyn O'Leary

4.0

I received a copy in return for an honest review.

No matter the length of a story, Caitlyn O'Leary gives you one you can't help but enjoy. And Cooper's Promise is no exception. Brenna and Cooper have known each other for years but Cooper is struggling to see Brenna as more than his best friends sister, or is he? In an effort to distance Brenna from his heart he hurts her. But with a stalker having her firmly in his sights, has Cooper's efforts to protect his heart cost him more than he ever anticipated? I really enjoyed Brenna. She went after the man she wanted. She uprooted her life and found a way to have the future she wanted while getting to know the man who held her heart. But she can't force Cooper to "see" her. She also refuses to beat a dead horse so after one too many painful slights, she decides to make a change. Can she believe in Cooper's change of heart once he finds out? Ms. O'Leary gives us a strong female character who makes her man work for it. Brenna may love him but she will not allow Cooper to blow hot and cold forever. This story is well written and allows us to see what makes Cooper tick. His past has reared it head in ways he doesn't expect but he is determined to fight not only his demons but also for the woman he loves. The journey that Ms. O'Leary takes us on is well articulated and believable. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Brenna put Cooper through his paces and they fight for their happily ever after.
