Synopsis
Blake Bentley had a rough upbringing, never fully believing he was good enough for anything or anyone. After being left with a broken heart by his only girlfriend, Blake swore off relationships for good and turned to the only two things that made him feel sufficient - sex and firefighting.
Tessa Collins was brought up in the traditional 'perfect' family - loving parents, great sister, and amazing friends. After falling in love with Jared, her life was perfect - until he betrayed her. She has no idea that his betrayal could end up costing her more than just a shattered heart.
Blake and Tessa have been friends since high school. Never wanting to admit their attraction for each other, the two always remained close friends. Now, three years later, Blake and Tessa find themselves being pulled together by a force much greater than friendship.
Blake and Tessa have promised to be friends forever, but as fate pulls them together, they embark on a roller coaster ride of a lifetime. Will his self doubt and her insecurities keep them apart? Or will they be able to promise each other always?

Review
Have you ever read a book that you weren’t quite sure the main characters would ever get together and make it work? That was Promise Me Always. Kari March did a great job at keeping you in suspense as to if it would work out. Tessa and Blake had both of their pasts and his lack of self-confidence working against them.
Tessa and Blake had been friends since high school. Always flirty. One time, they slept together but decided nothing was going to change between them. Blake went on to sleep with everyone. Tessa ended up in a long term relationship. After being cheated on a second time, Tessa decided she had enough and finally broke it off with Jared. Blake, a fire fighter, asked Tessa to go to the formal Fire Fighters Ball with him. That night they realized that they had always felt more for each other than they ever let on.
Between a jealous, stalker ex Tessa for and never thinking he was good enough for Blake, I actually wasn’t sure if they would work out. You could obviously tell they were madly deeply in love with each other.
This book was really good. It kept me going and holding on to the hope they all would work out. They times they were together, you could tell how in love they were. Kari March did a great job with the reading feeling how they were feeling. Whether happy or sad or scared, she described it perfectly.
So do they end up together? Does all of their issues keep them apart or put them together? I’m not going to tell you. You’ll have to read it for yourself.
