This Christmas, a childhood promise comes calling…
Clementine Hardy always wanted to be a librarian in her Marietta hometown. But at thirty, she fears she’s become too predictable—so she quits, books a European vacation, and accepts a research job in New York. Then on her birthday, a hunky piece of her past arrives, drops to bended knee, and proposes in front of half the town.
Bad boy celebrity chef Jude Harlow is done with the bright lights and late nights. He sells his Manhattan restaurant and volunteers in Africa to clear his head. A year later, he’s a new man with a new goal: find the girl from summer camp—the most practical woman he knows—and collect on the pinky promise they made when they were twelve.
Clem won’t marry a guy she hasn’t seen in nearly two decades, no matter how attractive or how talented he is in and out of her kitchen. But why does he have to look more delicious than the chocolate creations he concocts for the Graff Hotel? More delicious than anything in New York?
My Review:
A pinkie swear promise leads to happily ever after.
When Clem and Jude were twelve years old, they made a pinkie
promise that they would marry at thirty, if they were both still single. Now Jude is ready to settle down but it’s bad
timing for Clem. She is just about to
start living her dreams. Clem plans to start
a job in New York and wants to travel. At the last minute, Clem’s plans change, due
to a family emergency, and Jude is there to help her through it and their
friendship becomes more intimate. But is
it enough for a lasting love?
This book took me through a wide range of emotions and it was hard to put down. I was so glad to see how Clem and Jude finally found their happiness together. There was also a fun chocolate display competition in the book which led to several late-night cravings.
