This book is brilliantly awesome!! Hope & Evan’s story is one of my best reads for 2018, It is as if you were watching a Netflix (..hence don’t forget the tissues!)
If you’re looking for Whipped Hunks/Daddies you gotta have to read this authors’ work. You will definitely love them all
Omg! This book! I’m not an emotional reader, but this book had me in tears several times! It’s just so much! Such an awesome story! The ups. The downs. Evan and Hopes story is more than I could have imagined! I can’t wait to see what’s next with all the characters! I fall in love with them more and more with each book!
ALL THE FEELS!!!
Stayed up past my bedtime because I needed to finish the book and find out what happens to Evan & Hope!
Sooo much love, sadness, forgiveness & HAPPINESS!
Grandmama was even better in this book if you can believe that! Love that crazy Old Biddy!
Last few chapters did me in. Cried a few times so have tissues ready! 😉
Wow! These two have been through hell and back to find their HEA. I cried ALL the tears!! And yes, this has many heart-wrenching scenes, yet there’s still humor and hilarious antics… I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read about little Carissa next!!
Wow!! This book has so much to love! It is book 3 in the series, and I love that we get to continue to see characters from the first 2 books. The story of Evan and Hope is definitely a rollercoaster ride, to see what they had been going through and fighting to get to. I shed so many tears, both happy and sad, as well as laughed and sat in the edge of my seat. J.E Parker has done an amazing job with this story!!!
Hope and Evan’s story gave me all the feels. Talk about true passion, chemistry and romance! The characters are well developed and easily relatable. While their story is not all rainbows and butterflies, it will not disappoint and HEA is guaranteed!
Hope is a soft and sweet but strong social worker that has devoted her life to helping others. Working in a women’s shelter, she is stuck in limbo. She is still grieving, stuck in the anger and sadness of the loss of her brother. She lives with the only man she has ever loved, Evan. But they are not together which is a terrible situation that is edging towards unbearable. Evan came back from Iraq completely devastated that he had broken his promise to Hope. He is stuck in his anger and sadness and a mountain load of guilt. But push comes to shove when Hope forces his hand, if he doesn’t do something she will walk away and never come back!
How do you convince someone to read a book that completely broke your heart and put it back together? I have been waiting for Evan and Hope’s book ever since we met them in the first book by J.E. Parker Every Moment with You. If there were ever a pair of soulmates, it would be Hope and Evan. This book is absolutely amazing. I did cry in a couple of places but I was more consumed by the anger of grief, the unfairness of what life has handed to these two amazing people. Ms. Parker has written an amazing love story that deftly handles the aftermath of a soldier who returns from war to the woman he was meant to be with.
This was another wonderfully written book by J.E. Parker. It was such a beautiful story about heartbreak, sacrifice, strength and love. I can’t even begin to describe how touching this story was to me. It’s a very moving and unforgettable book. Definitely one you don’t want to miss.
Is it bad I was tearing up starting at the dedication? Feels ominous.
OK, book done now. Wow just wow. I don’t know that I’ve ever cried that much while reading a book ever. I ran out of Kleenex. Let that thought sink in, I ran out of Kleenex. Hope and Evan are my favorite. Very beautifully written and absolutely amazing. I would read this again and again. Once I buy more Kleenex. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
What can I say about this book to make you understand how amazing it is? JE has done it again!!! I had read the first two books, and absolutely loved them. I didn’t think I could love a book more, but boy was I wrong!!! I read this so fast as I didn’t want to put it down!!! Talk about an emotional roller coaster. One minute I’m bawling my eyes out, and the next I’m laughing so hard I’m crying.
I’m so enthralled with JE’s writing style, it just pulls me and keeps me attached to the book and characters. She also knows how to throw a huge twist in each book to throw you off, as you think you know what’s coming but you don’t!!! I love the humour put into each book, and I love how strong the female characters are, and how in tune the male characters are with their feelings. As wel as, how much they love their women, and how protective they are of them! *SWOON*
I love each character and how it all builds with others in the book, for the set up of another book.
Can Evan get himself straightened out for the love of his life before he loses her for good?
Can Hope open herself up again for Evan to let him in?
Can they make it work this time around?
This is a 5 Must Read!!!
PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP WRITING JE!!!
I totally loved this book, but prepared to do some hard crying. I stayed emotional throughout the whole book. I loved how close Ryker, Evan and Hope were. Hope’s brother and his best friend sure loved her so much! My heart ached as Evan felt so guilty. I felt Hope’s pain as Evan keeps trying to stay distant but he sure is possessive if anyone wants to be with Hope. Will he ever be the same again? Will he ever tell Hope that he loves her? This book completely gutted me but also left me feeling like they had so much love. I highly recommend this book.
Loved this book. Made me laugh and cry. Fantastic.
WOW! Another amazing read from J. E. Parker. I think this one is the best one in the series. The plot was off the charts. I was hooked from the very beginning. The story-line flowed smoothly throughout the book. Of course there were times when I had to put it down because the words were blurry because of my tears. The characters were well-developed and exceptional. They were easily relatable. The chemistry between Evan and Hope could be felt. The interaction between the was very emotional. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book….
This was a wonderful book that had a twist. It made me smile and cry. It showed that life does not always turn out how we want it to, but the road we end up on can still lead to happiness. I was provided an ARC in exchange for a review.
“I know I should let you go, but I can’t. I swore I’d take care of you, and that’s what I plan to do. Because despite the walls between us, you’re still the love of my life.”
This. Was. Amazing! I have loved this series, but this is my favorite!! This has all the feels – humor, love, friendship, anger, sorrow, heartache – it’s all here. On top of that, there is plenty of steam too!
Evan Morgan has known Hope and her brother Ryker forever. Ryker was his best friend. Hope was his forever girl. He made promises to her – he even pinky-swore – and he broke every one.He’s the reason for her heartbreak. He’s done nothing but hurt her, time and time again, by pushing her away. He should leave. Let her move on to someone she deserves, but he can’t bring himself to do it. He needs her, and he promised to take care of her. The guilt he carries is heavy and if she finds out the truth, he’ll lose her forever. Hope is his, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. He only hopes he can fix himself before she calls it quits.
Hope Peterson was happy. She had a great family, the best big-brother anyone could ask for, and the love of her life as a best friend. When tragedy strikes, everything changes. Even though he’s distant, she still loves Evan with every fiber of her being. But she’s growing tired of him shutting her out. She knows he’s holding back but she can’t be this close to him and not be able to have him. If she walks away, she’ll never survive. But, then again, if she stays it may destroy her anyway. Can she convince him to fight for them, or is it too late?
There was so much emotion in this book. My heart broke for Evan, and for Hope. The rest of the characters had their own emotional roller-coaster going on too. I was happy. I was sad. I was angry at Evan. I was pulling for Evan. I was laughing at Grandmama and her antics (Lord she’s a pip!)
If you haven’t read this series, I highly recommend it! Evan and Hope’s story is truly wonderful. Please don’t miss out!!
Wow. What another fabulous book by J.E. Parker!!! If you have not started this series yet, go now! I promise you will not be disappointed. Hope and Evan’s story is beautiful and emotional! Make sure you have the tissues handy because you will need them lol. I love this series and the characters in them ( especially grandmama) and I know you will too!
Here I sit, surrounded by tissues, chocolate, and empty glasses. My mascara is ruined. Why I chose today to not wear waterproof is beyond me because it is long gone. I look like the happiest trash panda in the world right now all because of this book. I thought J.E. Parker’s writing was incredible before, but this book, I have no words. Mind blowingly epic is the closest I can think of. I cannot say enough how absolutely amazing Every Promise You Made is.
I probably (definitely) looked insane while I was reading this. I went from full on ugly cry sobbing, to laughing hysterically, to sobbing happy tears more times than I can count. The terrified look on my husband’s face as he slowly backed out of the room when he walked in on me reading is one I’ll never forget. This book hit me THAT hard. I went into this already fully attached to these characters. This entire crazy family is one of my favorites, but nothing could have prepared me for how much I loved Evan and Hope.
Their story is one of the most powerful and emotional stories I have ever read. Their love is one of the biggest most epic loves I’ve ever seen. These two will steal your heart and take over your world when you read this and I promise you will love every second of it. I can’t even begin to try to explain the magnitude of how incredible they are together. Between them shattering my heart and putting it back together and the tight knit bond of this giant family I never wanted this book to end.
I’m dying for more in this series now! I can’t even pick who I’m most excited to see get their story out of all the amazing characters in this series, all I know is I need more!
Wow if I could give Every Promise You Made more than 5 stars I would! This book was an emotional roller coaster! It was heartbreaking watching the push and pull between Evan and Hope was impactful, it made me cry seeing how hurt each character was and how guilt couldn’t allow Evan to move forward. I was hoping for a happy ending, I smiled and laughed at the antics of the crazy characters. Highly recommend this book! Can’t wait for book 4 in this series!
Absolutely amazing. I couldn’t put it down I read it in a day and a half if you’re looking for an amazing story to read hoping Evans story is a must-read
You know the feeling when you start to read a book and you just know its going to rip your heart apart, but you’re only 8% in and you just have to keep going – this book!
OMG!!! What can I say, early predictions were right – I cried big ugly tears with this one!!! That said, this story is heartbreakingly beautiful, so well written and just incredible. Evan and Hopes story is one that will stay with me for a long time, you get totally lost in their world. It was fabulous to catch up with their extended family and friends from previous books too, particularly Grandmama and Shelby, who had me laughing out loud at their antics!
I know this is where I should be giving you a brief run down of the story, but believe me – you need to read and experience this for yourself!
This awesome book deserves way more than the five stars I am allowed to give, you need this on your TBR now!!!
