Promise Me

What d'ya do when one of your favorite authors offers a free Kindle to the reader with the best Amazon review of his latest book ... but you don't have the book - and the book store is a one-hour round trip away? Try this: Go to Amazon. Find an application called Kindle for PC. Load the program, buy the book and start reading 15 minutes later. Ya gotta love technology. I even forgot I wasn't reading a real hold-it-in-my-hands book! Wow, what a book! I set out to do here what I do with many of my reviews - tell you the author is gifted at his craft, weaves words into visual and sensual and emotional images to make the reader feel as if she's right there living the narrator's life, and creates characters as real as your next door neighbor or as surreal as an angel dropped in your midst. Sure, it's all true. Anyone who has ever read Evans knows all this, right? Hmm, what can I say to grab your attention and Evans's? In the opening pages of _Promise Me_, the author hooks us with two things - jewelry from old lovers and a secret. Readers with any of these in their pasts - jewelry, old lovers, or secrets - are instantly drawn in and pulled back to their own stories. All readers are propelled forward - a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a page, a chapter at a time. Along the way, Evans leads his readers down a path strewn with love, sadness, hope, disappointment, trust, betrayal, adventure, and more. As with his other books, the story keeps drawing the reader in, offering a roller coaster ride with peaks and valleys, twists and turns, and a 'Whew! We made it! What a ride!" kind of ending. Don't be misled into thinking, "Oh, another Christmas book. La-de-da. How many more can he write?" _Promise Me_ is fresh and new and spellbinding. I locked myself in my room until I finished it - and, believe me, it was worth it! Just think, Richard, if I win that Kindle, I can read all your books this way - maybe even my own someday!

The day my family vacation started this book was released. I was like "Oh Yeah" I will pick it up at one of the bookstores in the airports. Wrong- every layover I raced around trying to find the book- no go. Got to my destination and the first thing I said to my sister (Whom I have not seen in 10 years) is I got to go into town to the book store. Richard Paul Evans new book is out. Off we went. We spent four days on the beach in FL and first I read the book in a matter of hours, I loved it and hated for it to end. So I told my sister Debbie "you have got to read this". She did and she then shared it with my sister Paula, who read it and shared it with my sister in law Pat, who read it and shared it with my neice Miranda who read it and I brought it home to my daughter Shelbie who also read it. We all love it, cried over it and wanted to share it with someone we loved. I had everyone sign it and will always keep it as the best memory of our family vacation.!!! The only thing that could have made it better was to have it read to us by Paul himself. lol We have a new family tradition to read and share all Richard Paul Evans books. The hard part is not to go out and buy our own and read it before our turn. Great book, make it a your family tradition! Karina Richardson Facebook user

Good book

I'm a fan of Richard Paul Evans. His stories seem simple but they are profound. Promise Me made me cry a few times. I guess it was just the end (no spoilers) that made me cringe. Anyways, I'm always looking forward to more of Richard P. Evans' stories!
