Ryan and Savannah’s story is one of my favorites! They did not have an easy start but so glad for their HEA!
I read a few reviews where readers were upset about the profanity and yes, but this definitely is but it is still a good read. This Is Rayan and Savannah’s story. In book 1 they have grown to love each other from a very early age. They made promise to each other, but those promises weren’t kept. They are both hiding their secrets – secrets that are keeping them apart. Little do they know, if they just came clean, they’d have a second chance. Book 2, The Way We Were is an emotionally driven story. Finally all the answers from book 1 are given. Ryan and Savannah fight for their happily ever after in spite of secrets that they withheld.

This novel had a lot of good moments, a lot of sweet moments, and a lot of amazing moments that just brought a warm smile to my face; however, there were the times were it would lull and I would think about placing it down in favor of another, but in the end I’m glad I stuck it out and finished it.
Wonderfully fantastic… The book set was amazing… It had a lot of details and juicy scenes to them… The characters and their personalities match them perfectly… The plots and the storylines was very descriptive and amazing…I would recommend this Boxset to anyone!!

I really enjoyed this this duet. I love Ryan and Savannah together. They had such great chemistry.
This is a heartfelt story with humor, sexiness, and times where your heart will just cry and not stop. I couldn’t stop reading because I felt everything for Savannah and Ryan. I love that it’s in a box set because there was no way I couldn’t continue after the first book.

The Pinkie Promise Duet gives you both of Ryan and Savannah’s stories in one place.
I have devoured all of the Enigma Series, and Ryan is one of my favorite heros. He is so protective of Savannah, even in their younger years. It’s not surprising he grew up to be a detective.
Savannah is just trying to keep her head above water, and survive. She is strong, fighting for the life that she wants.
They made so many promises to each other when they were young, but circumstances got in the way.
This duet is emotional and heartbreaking. It is full of secrets and so many twists. Prepare to have the tissues ready.
I love Shandi’s writing, and highly recommend this duet.

There’s so much I love about this boxset . There are places where I just broke out laughing, places where I felt pain and asked why? There were places where my heart grieved, and places where I was rooting within saying, Go get ‘em.
But there also were places when I cringed. Too many of them. I’m not a fan of excessive cursing just as I’m not a fan of authors filling pages with bedroom scenes that add nothing to the plot. I found myself skimming over a lot of both books due to this.
OBSERVATIONS (some spoilers)
4 Stars for plot and emotional draw
1 Star due to crude language taking away from main storyline along with unexplained gaps.
3 Stars total.. 4-1=3
Why so self-righteous Ryan? You told her you found someone else. You sent her packing, so quit blaming her. All this was VERY frustrating to read. He needed to man up. He chose to do what he did. Not her fault.
What….. at the end of the second book we find Damon on trial for shooting Ryan????? We need more detail. There would be lots of space to develop the story simply by doing away with all the unnecessary filler copy of F bombs and cursing G_d.
We are teased about Brax getting mugged (or did they mean robbed). Ryan felt there was more to the situation than a run of the mill petty crime…. he had ‘that’ intuitive feeling… But we’re never told what it was. I wondered if it was connected to Damon???? Don’t know, it’s not explained… or if it was, it must have been one of the skimming parts so I missed it. The mugging/robbery and Damon on trail for shooting Ryan takes place at the end of the book… No, it’s not a cliffhanger. It’s just not explained.
Another gap with Savannah’s mom…. what happened the second time she disappeared?
Was Chris in the story just to ki11 him off? What purpose did that fill? If he was that concerned about Noah, he would have known about the abuse and have taken Noah out of the mom’s grasp.
One too many Alex characters…. got confused when Ryan called FBI Alex for information. Then I realized he was not the criminal Alex in the story.
Good writing, and good editing…. found a couple of typos but that was about it. This author is talented. She knows how to bring together emotions, both positive and negative, as she lures the reader into wanting to know what’s going to happen.
WISHES:
The text was too crude with all the cursing and swearing. Wish I didn’t have to skip over a lot of the text. I’m interested in a well developed storyline and the unnecessary foul language hindered my reading.
