Promises, Promises

Written by Erica James

Narrated by Charlotte Strevens

'I Must Stand Up for Myself More', promises Maggie Storm, who spends her days cleaning houses for people who often have more money than manners. Married to a man with as much sex appeal as Mr Blobby, she dreams of a life straight from the pages of a romantic novel.

'My Head Must Rule Over My Heart', promises Ella Moore, who, determined never to let her heart get the better of her again, is recovering from seven wasted years of failing to win over the daughter of the man with whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life.

'No More Women', promises Ethan Edwards, who, to distract himself from the depressing sham of his marriage, is a repeat offender when it comes to turning to other women for sexual consolation. But when Ella appears unexpectedly in his life, he finds himself turning to her for very different reasons...

“Poignant with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.” HEAT

"James is a seasoned champion of the genre...Promises, Promises has an extraordinary deftness of touch, coupled with some searing insights into both how relationships fail, and can work." DAILY MIRROR

Reviews for Promises, Promises

[auntieknickers · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This tale of two women and a man who each change their lives has a few darker elements than some of James's early books, but was still very enjoyable. James is a keen observer of the behavior both of nice and not-so-nice people. It wasn't completely obvious how it would all end, so I stayed up till 2 am to finish the book. If you like this kind of book, this is one you will like.
