![]() ![]() There is some serious slow burn going on here–and it all comes together beautifully and culminates in a wonderfully satisfying ending. The heroine is a companion to an older lady, and I love companion books or books where the heroine is an outsider. Only a Promise is basically made of Elyse’s catnip tropes, plus frosting. The guy at the counter asked me how I was doing, and I think I just made Good Book Noise® back at him. It was so so amazingly good that I went to the used bookstore and basically just dumped the entire shelf with her name on it into my cart. Only a Promise was the first book I read by Mary Balogh, and I rectified that situation pretty damn quick. This review was originally published June 10, 2015. But, if you’re hoping to read Balogh without DNF-ing, Elyse wrote a glowing review of Only a Promise. ![]() NB: Welcome to Flashback Friday! If you didn’t catch it, Carrie had a disappointing experience reading Mary Balogh’s latest release, Someone to Love, due to racist stereotypes. ![]()
