The trip that was meant to save Annie and Jeremy’s marriage brought it to near ruin. Now Annie has returned home, frightened and confused. Jeremy, too, is frightened—and angry. What will it take to save their marriage?
It’s clear. Jeremy needs to forgive—Annie needs to forget.
A promise is made. A tragedy occurs. A second honeymoon is disrupted. A chance encounter brings David Andrews back into Annie’s life.
Annie is determined to remain faithful. She’s made a promise she intends to keep—Jeremy’s Promise.
A.R. Talley, gives you a believable look at the struggle of one couple to reconnect and heal their marriage, with dialog which sweeps you into the moment as if you were there with them, experiencing both their pain and recovery. Kudos to the author who has once again produced a book I couldn't put down, as well as one I felt compelled to read multiple times. ~Donna Dech

My Review
It 's a story romantic, tender, on the power of love that can forgive anything but is very realistic, with real problems, isn't the classic perfect love story.
Annie has recently lost forever Jeremy, her husband who loved her so much. Annie in her whole life has always been in the middle of two men: David and Jeremy. After David had broken her heart she married Jeremy. Her husband loves her deeply but think do not deserve her and was married as a second choice. After four children and some economic problem their marriage is in crisis. Annie threatens to ruin everything and flee with her great love but Jeremy brings her back home. Their marriage, however, does not restart, there are many problems, it is difficult for Jeremy forget everything even though he loves her so much. When everything seems to have solved, Jeremy goes away forever. Annie has to live with the pain and must grow their own four children. She, however, had made a promise to Jeremy: if he had not been there longer, she would have to marry with anyone who wanted but not with David. Jeremy had also made Annie a Christmas gift in advance, a wonderful cruise that will participate with her dear friend. On the ship will meet again David: she will be able to resist?
Jeremy is a sensitive man and very much in love, put aside pride to recover his beloved wife. After Jeremy's death, Annie finds his diaries and realizes what he did suffer, how felt hurt, abandoned, rejected. How can keep the promise and love another man? Annie, despite her mistakes, has always loved Jeremy: she felt attracted to a dream, a quiet economic but her only wish was that her marriage work.
This is the second book in the trilogy: advice for a more engaging read, is to read before David's Song, the first book. I can not wait to read the latest novel, Annie's Choice and find out what will be the decision of Annie.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
EXCERPT
“Okay, Jeremy,” Terry said, “Tell her.”
“What?” Jeremy asked, bewildered.
“Tell her how you feel about this other man in her life.”
Jeremy was silent for a long moment. I didn’t know why he hadn’t launched immediately into a tirade about David Andrews. All I did know was I didn’t want to hear it.
“Well,” Jeremy said, more subdued, “I think she knows—that anyway.”
“No, Jeremy, you have to tell her.”
More silence.
“Annie, look at him,” Terry said. I shook my head. I couldn’t look at him. “Annie,” Terry said with measured patience, “Look at him.”
I wiped the back of my hand across each cheek and slowly raised my head. I looked across at Jeremy. His face was red and silent tears ran down his cheek.
“Tell her,” Terry said, gently prodding.
“I’d rather die than have you be with him,” he said, his voice so strained I had to hold my breath to hear him. “Thinking of you—with him—it’s like having a thousand shards of glass lacerate my heart. It’s bleeding me to death.” His lip quivered.
