PROMISES . . . a story about the problem with secrets, the power of love and the unbreakable bond between sisters

Welcome back to the resort town of Sun Valley for another heartwarming story in the Sun Valley Series where you’ll find stunning mountain vistas and blue skies . . . and three close-knit sisters who depend on each other through thick and thin. “You become part of the family in this wonderfully crafted novel.”

Karyn Macadam is determined to move on from the pain of her past and embrace the beauty of her future, but she soon realizes her new beginning comes with unanticipated risks that could cost her far more than she could have imagined—perhaps more than she can endure.

Leigh Ann Blackburn is supportive and outspoken and fiercely protective of her sisters. As she plans the wedding of the season, she learns the joys of sisterhood can quickly turn as she faces a betrayal she never saw coming.

Joie Abbott prepares to wed the man she swore she’d avoid, the one who has been by her side from the beginning—the man she was destined to love. But, when a looming storm threatens everything, can she learn to trust him?

A poignant novel about family, in all its heartbreaking and splendid forms. A great reading option for fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Mallery.

Will it or won't it?

I have been waiting for this book and it surely didn't disappoint. Sisters Karyn, Leigh Ann, and Joie are back together again for Joie's wedding. Oh, the anticipation builds the excitement with this book. You won't know until the day of the wedding if it happens or not. No, I am not going to tell you.If you like books about sisters, like suspense, and love then this is a book for you. It's a wedding, what could go wrong? LOL! Read this book and find out, you will enjoy the ride you will take.

Good read.

This was a good read. It was interesting to see how the sisters faired after the last book. I still don’t particularly like Leigh Anne.

A good clean book

This book has 3 close sisters. A close family unit with struggles families deal with. It is a well developed book, with believable characters. A few twists and turns but it is one of those books that keep you going. It is hard to put down. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it, you will love the war the family works together.

Good ending

Enjoyed the last book in this series. It all came together well at the end. Will wonder about the future of one of the sisters.

The sisters weather a storm

The reality of having sisters and not always agreeing on everything rang true for me, a woman with two older sisters. I can something relate to Joie and her feelings of being a screw up. I loved how Kellie wove their reconciliation and wrapped the story up with a happy ending. I look forward to reading another series of hers. They are always heartwarming.
