Publisher's summary

Lying on her job application wasn’t the best way to kick off her fresh start in a small town, but Heather Smith is out of options. She desperately needs the job, or she will soon be without a place to live. Even so, Heather truly likes Elizabeth Harland, the old woman who hired her as her caregiver, and is eager to work hard, and prove she’s right for the task.

Now, if she could just figure out why a local farmer keeps casting suspicious glares her way....

Sure, Grayson McCade has his hands full with his farm. That doesn’t change the fact that he considers the residents of Harland Creek family, and he takes time to look out for them all. The second he learns a newcomer has been hired to care for Elizabeth, he worries the kind-hearted old woman is being scammed.

Acting on what he believes to be the best of intentions, he sets out to uncover the truth about Heather’s past. Will the secrets revealed tarnish Heather’s new start, before it even begins? Or will Grayson help make Harland Creek the home her heart longs for?

Awesome Listen!

Promise Kept by Jodi Allen Brice is full of all hope. I loved how the author wrote the characters and brought out their core values. The imagery was so well done. I could envision the flower fields, sense the chemistry and the need for self preservation. E. L. Beckett did a fantastic job performing the book. She gave the characters distinguished voices, so I knew who was speaking. I loved the story!

Sweet Small Town Romance!

This is the first book in the Harland Creek Series. Heather and Grayson's novella is beautifully written, sweet, funny, emotional, and heartwarming, filled with drama, and secrets. Grayson, a farmer, is handsome and protective. Heather, a caretaker, is lovely, and enigmatic. The supporting characters are amazing. I loved Elizabeth! This is a sweet Small Town Romance, and I liked the clean slow burn romance. E.L. Beckett did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Promise Made, Olivia's story, the second book in the Series.

Second Chances

Heather Smith was looking for a new beginning and was lead to the small southern town of Harland Creek through a newspaper advertisement. It was providential that she became the caretaker for elderly Elizabeth Harland as she recuperates from surgery. Right away we see the wisdom of Elizabeth and her kindness toward Heather as she recognizes that she needs a home and a job and someone to care about her.

The setting of a flower farm was so unique and gave me a sense of peace as I can imagine walking through fields of bright hues and fragrance. Heather began to take on more duties at the farm and works with the handsome Grayson McCade, who is the farmer next door. I loved seeing Elizabeth doing some matchmaking as she contrives opportunities for the couple to spend time alone doing things for the farm. She saw that both would be good for each other and love could be theirs if they could trust each other and open their hearts.

As I listened, time flew by as the story unfolded. E.L. Beckett's performance added richness to the story as she portrayed each of the the characters. The pacing was perfect and tone matched that of the story that gave it depth.

This is book one in the Harland Creek series and can be read as a standalone, but there are several other townspeople who I found endearing. I am looking forward to reading about them and returning to Harland Creek. Promise kept reminded me of authors like Jan Karon and Philip Gulley. I recommend reading this uplifting, clean romance of second chances. Once you read this book you will want to read the next one right away.

I was given a review copy of the book. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

sweet romance

The story surrounds Heather Smith and the challenges that follows her .
Grayson is weary of her when she appears from Georgia to be a caretaker for his next door neighbor. Both have trust issues.
their romance literally bloomed over time .
There is drama, catty gossipy women, new friends , and Elizabeth a woman she finally can call family.
I loved listening to this sweet small town romance narrated by E.L. Beckett. She gave each character their own voice and personality. I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.
