NEW RELEASE….

Cape Cod Promises is the second book from the Love on Rockwell Island Contemporary Romance Series by New York Times & USA bestselling authors Bella Andre & Melissa Foster.

Fall in love on Rockwell Island…Sink your toes into the sandy beaches at the heart of Cape Cod Bay, where family comes first, good friends are around every corner, and true love is waiting beneath the stars.

Trent Rockwell has it allโ€”a thriving legal practice, coownership of the Rockwell Resort, and a big, loving family. And yet his failed marriage to Reese Nicholson has haunted him for ten long years. Now that he has moved back to Cape Cod Bay to help run his familyโ€™s resort, he is surrounded by memories of Reeseโ€ฆand he canโ€™t stop longing for the woman heโ€™d always believed was his one true love.โ€ฆ

At nineteen, artist Reese Nicholson was swept off her feet by the handsome, charming, and incredibly sensual Trent Rockwell. After a whirlwind courtship, they married and moved to New York City, where they hoped all of their personal and professional dreams would come true. But six months later, Reese returned to Rockwell Island brokenhearted and disillusioned.

For a decade, Trent and Reese carefully kept their distance. But all it takes is one accidental late-night encounter to immediately stir the desires they have both tried to bury deep. Powerless to resist the heat between them, every passionate kiss, loving caress, and heartfelt apology draws them closer together. So close that they canโ€™t help but wonder if the promises they once made to love each other forever are still true…

REVIEW
Having read Cape Cod Kisses which I enjoyed, it was a given that I would want to read Cape Cod Promises.  Stories like these pique my interest and the fact that Melissa Foster was a co-author helped to make my decision that much easier.  There is just something about second chance romances that get me going. They are filled with a range of emotions that always keeps me on my toes and I cannot help but hope that the characters that I have become so invested in will finally get their happily ever after.

Trent Rockwell and Reese Nicholson got married ten years ago after a whirlwind romance. They relocated from the Rockwell Island to New York to begin their life as a married couple.  However, driving ambition on Trentโ€™s part and fear of embracing the unknown on Reeseโ€™s part led to a breakdown of their marriage. They discovered that being in love was not enough to sustain a marriage.  As a result, Reese moved back to the island, leaving Trent behind.  Trentโ€™s way of dealing with his broken heart was to throw himself into work with the aim of building a successful business.  I guess he wanted to prove that if he could not be successful at his marriage, he could at least be successful in business. However, he would soon come to learn that being successful means nothing if you had no one to share it with.
Fast forward ten years later we see Trent being forced to return to the island at the behest of his grandfather.   He knew that returning home would mean coming face to face with the one woman who had the power to break him to the very depth of his soul.  He was determined to win Reese back in spite of the challenges he knew he would face in trying to convince her that he had changed. Will Trent succeed in his endeavours?  I understood Reeseโ€™s fears where Trent was concerned. What guarantees does she have that he had changed?  However, we know that life offers no guarantees we just have to be willing to take the good with the bad. Will Reese be willing to take this risk and re-unite with the one man she has ever loved?
The story moved at a pace that was quite fitting. It was slow but not boring. It was an engaging read with interesting characters.  We are introduced to characters that portray real human emotions. They have history making it easy to relate to them.  The love that Trent and Reese have for each other is the kind that most persons would dream of having. You could feel it emanating from the pages.
In this story, drama is non-existent and the characters were not conflicted. This story proved these characteristics are not necessary to make a story entertaining. What I enjoyed about  Cape Cod Promises is watching the characters address their issues, acknowledging their mistakes which paved the way for their healing process.
I loved the moral behind this story.  It’s my belief that readers who are married can learn something from this story. It shows that being head over heels in love is not enough to sustain a marriage. Marriage takes work and the parties involve have to be willing to put in that work and not run at the first sign of trouble.

I am so glad I read this installment and I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.

Love on Rockwell Island Book 1, Cape Cod Kisses

When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought heโ€™d return to live on Cape Cod Bayโ€”that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfatherโ€™s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, heโ€™s tempted to ignore his work for a while…and focus on her instead.

As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreamsโ€”a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.

Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didnโ€™t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?
