Promises to Keep

All of my reviews can be found on novelgossipPromises to Keep is the second book in a series, I reviewed the first book earlier this month, The Promise of Provence and adored it Book two was just as delightful giveaway on my blog now This begins right where things left off in the first book, Kat is still in France and trying to settle into her new life with Philippe She is so changed from the woman she was in the first book, she s much calm, centered and sure of herself and I really enjoyed see [...]

Promises Kept Delivered More Than Expected Honestly speaking, I was somehow prepared to get less, just because it is number 2 in the series Well, here is the good thing This part could be well read as a standalone one It does not actually assume any prior knowledge of the characters involved.Personally, I was slightly comfortable reading this part, as it started off as a normal life case, relatable to most people No troubles involved in the beginning.However, the story quickly evolves this time [...]

Really enjoyed this book Good way to continue the story.

Following up on the decadent love affair with France for middle aged Katherine Price and her own newly found chance at loves comes Promises to Keep telling the what comes after the Happily Ever After.Promises to Keep is the second book in the Love in Provence series and continues the story begun in book one, The Promise of Provence It also continues my deepening love for this story and the narrator I found the first book thoughtful, engaging, and a decadence for the senses, but this book solidif [...]

NOTE I reviewed series to date, so this review covers both The Promise of Provence and Promises to Keep It s a big universe Everything happens Somewhere, says Doctor Who The Doctor, The Widow The Wardrobe But I would answer that just as in this episode, and in the Narnia stories it s based on, sometimes it s the Somewhere that makes everything happen To an extent, that s what occurs in both The Promise of Provence and Promises to Keep, the first two volumes of Patricia Sands Love in Provence ser [...]

4.5 StarsI m reeling from the way this book has ended, to the extent that I know I need to read the last book in this trilogy sooner rather than later, as I need to know how the story continuess the book has arguably ended on a big cliffhanger, which is not my preferred ending, but in this instance instead of completely annoying me as it should do, my only thought is wow, didn t see that coming and I need to find time to read I Promise You This Well before you actually get to the ending there is [...]

Patricia Sands does it again I was privileged to receive an early copy of Promises to Keep and with a story this wonderful, you want to share it.When we left Katherine, she had been swept away by the south of France, Philippe and the possibilities of starting over What we didn t know are the secrets lurking behind this gentle man and his mysterious past We follow Katherine through another journey of love, trust and a promised life in jeopardy.I found myself being swept away again by Patricia s b [...]

Romance Novel set in ANTIBESThis review first appeared on our blog, where Patricia also talks about her love letter to France tripfiction romance no In front of her was a postcard scene from Provence in June An enormous field of golden sunflowers glistened with an intensity that was hard to believe, as if someone had plastered a Visit Provence poster smack in her face To one side was a classic mas, with its outbuildings, the shades of the yellow gray limestone farm structures softened by the mid [...]

I have just finished Promises to Keep the second Patricia Sands book in the Love in Provence Series It was fun to catch up on the main characters again and see what had been happening in their lives I did not enjoy it as much as the first book however, perhaps because I had not been to the Provence villages in this book, the way I had in the first book, so it did not stir memories for me of our visit to France But I was very happy to be reunited with the same characters, and I look forward to re [...]
