My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this small town romance story. This is the first book in this series and it is a great start. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world. Their story is one present and past. Phoebe and Laurent made a promise to each other, if they weren’t married at age 40 they would marry each other. Forty years to the present, Phoebe asks Laurent to marry her but she can’t fall in love with him. Easy, right? Phoebe is about to find out how hard it is to keep that promise. I enjoyed watching the growth and chemistry of these two. They are strong characters that made the story for me. They made the story easy to read and hard to put down. This is a story you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.
