Promises, Promises Book 1: Promised Vow by Rye Cox

 

Promises, Promises Book 1

Our impending vows were supposed to be fake…

Moving home to Kither Springs to help my sister with her baby wasn’t a hardship. I love being with my family, but a few months of sleeping on the couch really takes a toll on you. I desperately needed to move out, but while I was away, my hometown became ‘viral famous.’

A rush of people had clamored to our town, looking for a taste of small-town life, which means less housing. When an apartment finally becomes available, I’m not the only one interested in it, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing…

Ryker is all muscles, adorable frowns, and gooey brown eyes I want to melt into. I know better than to hit on a straight guy, so I offer to be roommates instead. It’ll be just like college.

But then the old landlady insists she only rents to couples, which leads me to blurting out that Ryker and I are engaged… future husbands-to-be. To my utter surprise, my former classmate goes along with the not-so-little white lie.

Now we’re pretending to be in love while I try not to fall in love for real.

Promised Vow is book 1 of the Promises, Promises series set in a small town with meddling neighbors and a tight community of friends and family. This book has size difference, bisexual awakening, opposites attract, and a very clingy cat.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Sam moved back home to help his sister with her newborn baby. On her own with the only help from their grandfather, there was no way Sam was going to help them out. The three of them have been a tight unit since the loss of their parents many years ago. But after months of sleeping on a very uncomfortable couch, Sam is relieved to learn that an apartment has opened up and he could finally have a place of his own. This is where he runs into Ryker who is looking for an apartment as well after staying with a friend for a while. There is one apartment and both readily agree to be roommates. But when the landlord, an old lady, insists on only renting to couples, well Sam makes an impulsive decision. He blurts out that him and Ryker are in a very serious relationship and are even engaged! Now the two of them will have to be pretend to be very much in love if they don’t want to get kicked out. But neither expect the pull they have with one another. The more time they spend together and get to know one another again, the harder they fall. And it’s only a matter of time until this fake relationship becomes real! Sam and Ryker were utterly adorable. I loved their dynamic and how these crazy circumstances really brought them together to find a love they have both been looking for. Super cute story! You don’t want to miss this!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
