Title: Promise Me Always Author: Christine Lynxwiler Publisher: Barbour ISBN: 1-59789-355-2 Genre: Inspirational/Contemporary/Romance
Allie Richards has a dream. She wants to own her very own landscaping business. She’s a widow with two young daughters, and money is tight. The bank refuses to loan her the money she needs. Her friends, Victoria, Lark, and Rachel, the Pinky Promise Sisterhood, were sure she’d get the money, but they still have confidence in her. When Shady Grove sponsors a Pre-centennial Celebration Beautiful Town Landscaping Contest, the Pinky Promise Sisterhood insists Allie enter. They’ll even help with the work.
Allie has a plan B. If she can’t have a landscaping business, she’ll find a good Christian businessman on his way up. Then Daniel Montgomery comes back to Shady Grove and opens a coffee house. Years ago, back in high school, Allie had a king sized crush on Daniel, the town’s bad boy. He left after he was expelled from school. Daniel is better looking than ever, with a scar and a slightly crooked nose. He rides a Harley. Obviously he’s still a free spirit, with his brown hair curling at his shirt collar and his denim sleeves rolled up to show well muscled arms, and he’s the last thing Allie needs in her life. Especially since Trevor Wright, who really is a settled, sensible, Christian businessman, and just might be “Mr. Right,” keeps asking her for a date.
Christine Lynxwiler’s Promise Me Always is a fun, entertaining story about a woman who has her life planned, and is determined not to let anything get in the way. After all, if you know exactly what you want and go after it, what could possibly go wrong? Actually, a lot of things could and most of them do. Christine Lynxwiler always delivers a good story. Promise Me Always is one of her better ones.
