New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan concludes her steamy contemporary stand-alone series with a secret that no one saw coming.Nate Brady and Myra West have been keeping a secret, though not just from their group—also from each other. Getting married when they were barely adults wasn’t in the cards when they made their plans for their future. Divorcing one another … another amidst pain and heartbreak wasn’t either.
Years have passed, wounds have scabbed over and scarred, but their anger remains.
If the two can open themselves to the impossible, they might be able to take that second chance. Only they’ll also have to fight their fears, the lies between them, and the desire they thought long gone.
Except they aren’t alone in their secrets, and if they aren’t careful, they may just be taking them to their graves.

This is book 4 in the Promise Me series and I would absolutely read them in order as the events in the other books lead into this one. In this one we finally get Nate Brady and Myra West’s story. Nate and Myra have been keeping a secret from their friends and family, a big one. They had been married when they were barely adults, and it ended in divorce and a pain that neither has truly gotten over. And even though it has been years since everything happened, the scars run deep as does the anger they feel towards each other. But when they keep getting thrown together, they are forced to have to figure out a way to at least be in each other’s company. But when lies are exposed now they have to figure out if they want to try to move on from the past and actually get the life that was denied to them or if their time has passed.
I think this one was my favorite in this whole series. These two have always given off this vibe from the beginning that they knew each other but I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be in the way that it was! When they find out the truth about what happened so long ago, my heart broke for them both. Not only did they already have the odds against them just due to their age but to have deal with that as well? It broke my heart for them. These two characters have a strength to them that I loved but they also have heart. They will do anything for those they consider their family, and that is always so hard to find. Myra and her family-this woman has a spine of steel! And a beautiful soul that comes across regardless of what they say. There is so much more to this story than just a second chance, and I loved every bit of it.
I just loved this series! Hands out it is the best series writen by Carrie Ann Ryan (at least for my taste).
This last book is so fun and delicate to read, Myra and Nate have met so young and they were fast in knowing they were in love with each other.
Now, years later and divorced (without anyone of the group knowing) they are faced with a blind date… This idea of the Pact Sisters is so good! It gives so much story to tell!
This is a great story and an epic ending for this series and you should read them all because they are really good books!
I loved it!
This is book #4 in the Promise me series. We find Nate and Myra again, who have a past together, they got married and divorced without telling anyone, not even their beloved ones. I hoped they could have their second chance, and here it is, and I loved the way they put the pas aside and are able to move on.
An incredible story, with many emotions and twists and turns. I’d like to have read it at once, if I had the time, because I was really involved and wanted to know what would happen next.
Don’t miss this series!
This is the fourth book in the Promise Me Series! Nate and Myra’s story is finally here and this has been my absolute favorite of the whole series. This is a twisty turny story with some heartbreak but in the end love prevails for Nate and Myra just like it did for the rest of the Brady brothers and the Blind date pact group of friends.
This is the 4th and concluding part of the amazing series and is Nate and Myra’s journey. These two have a past which did not end well, but their love for each other has never diminished. They have both been keeping secrets from their friends as well as each other. Nate has been suffering from debilitating migraines since he had an accident which he is learning to live with, while Mayra is afraid to reveal her huge secret to her new group of great friends who support each other in case they abandon her. This is a beautifully written tale which is an emotional roller coaster journey, as well as having angst, suspense, mystery, secrets, heartbreak, passion, fun, humour, and love which all leads to a wonderful 2nd chance romance story. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all.
I enjoyed this book. The author writes with such emotion and really touches mine. The twists in this one are so realistic. Parents can be a joy but some are the opposite. Same with families. Loved the ending. I received a n advanced copy of this book and freely leave this honest review.

Nate and Myras 2nd chance grabbed my heart
intense emotional broken heartstopping love story
all the feels
Wow… finding out Nate and Myra’s history was a shock and definitely explains the animosity between them. I enjoyed watching them move their relationship forward and find love again, even through all the hurt and history.
Received an advance copy from the author.
I liked seeing Myra and Nate find their way back to each other. Not everything is as it seems and seeing them going through the pain, guilt, anger, and their longing broke my heart. The story flows well and takes you on their heartbreaking journey. I loved their friends though and how everyone is there for each other.
4.5 Stars
Another really good story in this series. Loved Nate and Myra and their journey!
From Our First is Nate & Myra’s story and is the last book in the Promise Me series. I think this book was my favorite of the whole series. It is very well written and has a great storyline with strong characters. I am happy they got their HEA and feel like it was a great way to end the series.
When I finished book 3 of this series, I was like WTH… How could it end like that. I was desperate to know what happened between Myra and Nate.
From the start of the series Myra and Nate disliked each other, but you just didn’t know why. And when you read their story, it was actually sad that they lost so much time together due to a misunderstanding or due to Myra’s parents meddling. As they didn’t want her to be with someone like Nate, beneath their status.
I liked the fact that when the truth was finally revealed, there wasn’t a long dragged out back and forth of who was more wrong. They talked it out and see where they would go. And seriously anyone could see they still had feelings for each other.
This series was definitely an amazing read. Reading about these four women and their struggles, but also about the Brady men and their issues. Loved every minute of it and looking forward to seeing what is in store next for this author
I needed this book STAT!! Nate and Myra held so much mystery and the hints we would get in the previous books had me itching for From Our First! It was everything I could imagine and more. Carrie Ann Ryan has given us her magic and made my heart skip a few beats. The story just pulls your heart apart. You want to cry and make everything better. I loved this circle of friends from the beginning of this series. There are secrets that you never expected that will be revealed.
From Our Frist will steal your breath away! You can easily get lost in this story and make you want to pause real life for just a moment! Get this book asap friends. You don’t want to miss out!
From our First is such a fantastic second chance romance and a wonderful addition to the Promise Me series. Once again we have the opportunity to spend time with this tight knit group of friends and family members that have such an amazing bond and are always there for each other.
This is Myra and Nate second chance at a happily ever after but they still have to work through their past baggage and trust issues and forgive each other because after everything fell apart for them years ago due to a misunderstanding, it is now their chance to finally move forward. Can they put it all behind them and give into those feelings that have been there all along? Read this heartwarming story and find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!
From Our First is a powerful and emotional read. Sometimes life gives you a second chance to make things right. Nate and Myra have been keeping a secret from everyone, all that remains is anger. Can these two find away to have a second chance that they deserve. This is a beautifully emotional book, love and heartache, friends and family this is a book for everyone.
Finally! We have been teased from the start of this series that there is something between Nate and Myra but it’s kept just out of our reach…until now. From Our First is the last book in the Promise Me series and it certainly goes out with a bang. The intensity of emotions in this story is strong. It’s filled with heartbreak, manipulative behavior, anger, romance, and explosive chemistry. This story was bittersweet in so many ways. From Nate and Myra missing out on so many years with each other to knowing that this is the final story in the series. I sincerely hope we get to revisit with these characters down the road.
As I started the journey between Nate and Myra my heart hurt and my head was drowning in secrets. Their story is tearing me apart as the lies, truths and secrets are finally divulged. From Our First is one of those stories that has your heart firmly lodged in your throat for a great deal of the book. It has your emotions all over the place and has you teetering on the edge of your seat and unable to put the book down as your heart and mind crave the answers and outcome to ensure their happiness. It will steal your breath and have your pulse racing as the chemistry and draw between these two skyrockets. A story that will make you cry, smile, frustrated and everything in between.
We finally find out why Nate and Myra knock verbal lumps out of each other! The past hangs heavy between these two and their present is coloured by distrust and hurt. This book is about healing wounds, finding love and what a difference family can make in making us feel valued and cared for. If we don’t have that network to surround us, life can indeed be an icy place!
I was delighted to spend time with the Pact ladies and those devilishly handsome Brady brothers!
4.5 Stars for From Our First ( Promise Me #4)
This is the last book in the Promise Me Series and Nate and Myra’s story is the perfect one to finish the series on, it’s a romance about a couple with a history and a past that didn’t end well……
This was a book that touched me on so many levels, finding out the history this couple shared and the whole story behind he breakup broke my heart but as their story unfolded I found myself falling hook, line and sinker for a couple who will have a hard time forgiving and forgetting.
Myra’s friends are determined to find her love so they set her up on blind dates but truth be told she is not ready to start a relationship and she finds herself struggling even more when she finds out her date is Nate, is fate be giving this couple a second chance at love ……
This book has so much going for it, it’s has twists and turns, it has a couple that need to get to know each other all over again and is a love story about putting the past and the hurt behind you . A wonderful captivating read that rounded this series off well.
This is book #4 in the Promise Me series. It’s a second chance/enemies to lovers romance. It’s for sure a roller coaster ride of emotions, with so many twists and turns you won’t see coming. As usual the story flowed easily and the chemistry is off the charts hot. I love the pact sisters and the Brady brothers. I loved that we finally got Nate and Myra’s story, they may be one of my favorites of the series. What a fabulous ending to a fantastic series. It is definitely a series you want to pick up.
