In PROMISE OF A NEW BEGINNING…
After having her heart broken by a country music star, Savannah Braden has sworn off men. She takes a break from her fast-paced Manhattan lifestyle for a weekend at a survivor camp to rebuild her confidence and readjust her priorities. But when she meets the handsome guide, Jack Remington, she’s drawn to everything about him—from his powerful physique to his brooding stare—despite the big chip on his shoulder. Powerless to ignore the heated glances and mounting attraction, Savannah begins to reassess her hasty decision.
After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Jack Remington found solace in the Colorado Mountains. This solitary existence allows him to wallow in his guilt and punish himself for having made a decision that he believes cost his wife her life. He never expected to want to return to the life he once knew–but then again, he never expected to meet gorgeous, stubborn, and competitive Savannah Braden.
One passionate kiss is all it takes to crack the walls the two have built to protect themselves, and allow love to slip in. While Jack fights his way through his guilt, and struggles to get back into the lives of those he left behind, Savannah is there to help him heal, and together they nurture hope that they’ve finally found their forever loves.

Ms. Cole brings us the meaning of heartbreakingly beautiful with Promise of a New Beginning. She has found a way to tare you apart and of course put you back together with her words. In a way this felt like a second chance romance to me. While it wasn’t Jack and Savannah’s second chance together it was their second chance at love. I love the way they brought each other back to life in different ways. I can’t wait to see more of Ms. Cole’s Bradens.
Addison Cole introduced Savannah Braden to her readers when telling the story of Savannah’s brothers. I have waited to see her find her soul mate and was excited when I learned this was her story. Then I picked up the book and from the very beginning, I knew that it was going to be heartbreaking to read. Jack Remington is broken after losing his wife and there is no easy way to move past that. But Savannah is just the person to help Jack figure out how to start living again.
In true Addison Cole style, I was pulled in, became invested in the characters and their stories, and didn’t stop reading until I learned how Savannah and Jack would be able to come together happily. This book isn’t always easy but it is always true to itself. These two do not play games with each other, they are honest with each other from the very beginning. The attraction is what pulls them to each other in the beginning but their hearts and souls are what helps them work through the toughness of life.
I am a huge fan of the Sweet with Heat series and am always excited to meet new characters and catch up on some of the ones that appeared in past books. I love that each book is a standalone and the series does not have to be read in any specific order.
Savannah. Savannah. Savannah. Sweet. Darling Savannah. Yes. That many times. I have watched/read/listened to Savannah throughout the Weston Bradens series and she had my heart. I wondered when she would get her HEA. Now, we get her’s and it just sweet, clean and so right for her. She had been through enough and allowing herself this one piece of respite from daily life and her ex was what she needed. But she would not have guessed she would find that one man that could complete her in ways only in her dreams would be right there before her, but damaged. She knows that she can’t push love here. And she takes what she could get, but was that fair to her.
Jack Remington finds that he had been lost for years now. He finds a new reason to live on. To open his eyes and his heart, but what damage would he do before he fully comprehends that he is allowed to live and love again.
As you all know Addison Cole gives us clean, sweet with a little heat romances that don’t cloud your reading up with explicit words and conduct. She gives you romance to share with your daughter or you grandmother. Come in and open up the pages to a romance that’s giving two very different individual for different reasons a second chance to have love. Love that would last and endure.
This is one emotional book that brought on the tears. This book is packed with the feels. There are parts that are so heartbreaking,butt hen to witness the bond form between Savannah and Jack is so beautiful. The crushing pain and guilt Jack feels has turned him into a man he doesn’t even recognize anymore. It’s a journey for Jack to find the strength to face his past in order to finally face the future. With a woman who has a big heart as Savannah doe as support he may just find the light at the end of the tunnel. This book will leave you with your heart feeling full. From Jack find the strength to move, his family, and Savannah it’s a book well worth reading. I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series.
This love story is indeed full of beginnings. Savannah is starting to think she´s unable to find a true love. She believes she has this awful talent of always picking the wrong guys. And Jack is so bitter that he decided to live apart from the world, including his own family. He also believes he´s not capable or deserving of any kind of love whatsoever. But a long weekend together keep proving them wrong. The battle of their own feelings and their beliefs is a hard one. They need to overcome their self doubts and even reconstruct their love bonds after being so brutally hurt in the past. Their journey to trust and love again is so touching and moving that we feel unable to put the book down. Be prepared for an incredible and full of emotions love story. A lovely one!!

Another great story. It’s a heartwarming story with heartbreaking moments. It will suck you in from the beginning while pulling your heartstrings and taking you through emotional journey. It has characters you will love. A connection that that will keep you turning the pages. A must read and a great addition.
Jack is ready to love again!
Promise of a New Beginning by Addison Cole is the story of Savanna and Jack. Savannah is an attorney in NY who has broken up with her cheating boyfriend for the last time and has decided to go to the wild to forget him and get her head on straight. The man piloting and running the survivor camp is Jack, a grumpy, gruff man who has a lot of self recriminations and hurt behind his eyes. The two find themselves attracted to each other despite trying hard to ignore that chemistry. This is mainly the story of how Jack finally embraces moving forward following the death of his wife and how he finally embraces his family and life in general. Savanna is crucial to this decision and is his support throughout his journey.
This story has a lot of angst with some humour thrown in to relieve the crying you’ll find yourself doing. Another wonderful book in the Weston Bradens series!
I received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely.
Having read one or two of her books this author is able to transport me to this world. This one gives you pictures of healing and what love can do when allowed.
Savannah had a break up that went deep so she goes in a direction that has her crossing paths with Jack. The chemistry builds even though I think it is a push and pull especially where Jack is concerned. This will have a emotional draw on it where we see turmoils and healing. Anger does not stand a chance against love wouldn’t you say. This is one that will fill you up.
For two broken hearts could a stolen kiss lead to healing? This story of heartbreak, loss and possibly a newfound love will make smile, cry, rejoice and believe in second chances. For Savannah and Jack it will change their lives and make them question whether or not they believe in true happiness. Addison Cole has such a way of telling her love stories that make you feel like you are a part of their lives and places. Grab those tissues because you will need them for this one
Great emotional story, Jack and Savannah are two people who’s heart has been broken for different reasons. Savannah is just what Jack needs to get past his loss. You really get swept into this story and feel yourself silently hoping that they will find the love in each other that they need.
This is another wonderful story by Addison Cole. Jack has cut himself off from his family and friends, as he is suffering from guilt after his wife was killed in an accident 2 years ago. Savannah is trying to get over a broken heart, after her ex was cheating on her. What a pair, as they come together at a survivor camp, where Jack is Savannah’s guide. Can they heal each other? This is a very emotional story, but it is also a very powerful story as Savannah brings Jack out of his pain. It is also a sweet story, but a very passionate one. I cried some tears, but I also laughed out loud while reading this book. I highly recommend it.
Promise of a New Beginning was an amazing story. The story brought out all kinds of emotions. Jack and Savannah’s story will be in my mind for a long time. I highly recommend this book.
This is the story of Savannah Braden and Jack Remington. Savannah is a workaholic attorney in New York City who has broken up with her cheating boyfriend for the last time. To rebuild her confidence to keep out of that toxic relationship, she signs up for a survival weekend in the wilderness of Colorado that is owned/operated/ran by Jack. Jack is ex-military that has basically stopped living after the tragic and unexpected death of his wife two years earlier. Over the course of the weekend, the sparks between the two of them definitely fly and you just start to see small glimpses of perhaps the person Jack used to be before essentially cutting himself off from everyone after his wife’s death. Once Savannah returns to the city, she can’t stop thinking about him and he feels the same.
After they reconnect in the city, the story of Jack’s past is slowly shared with Savannah and he works hard to wrestle the demons that have been haunting him for years as well as try to re-establish some sort of relationship with not only his parents and siblings but with his late wife’s family as well. It’s a heartwarming story and will have you laughing and crying as Jack and Savannah’s relationship grows and as Jack works on coming to terms with his past and finally start to move forward.
Another great read from Addison Cole that will not disappoint. Though part of a series, it most definitely can be read as a standalone….but, if you’ve read the other books in this series, it’s a nice visit with some of the past characters we have met and fallen in love with in the earlier books.
Jack Remington and Savannah Braden meet on a survivalist weekend. Jack is the survivalist instructor and Savannah is one of the attendees. Little do the two know that the weekend will be a turning point for them both.
Jack harbors deep seated grief and anger due to the death of his wife two years ago. He has cut himself off from family and friends, becoming reclusive; living mostly in his cabin deep within the woods of Colorado. The only contact with the outside world are his survivalist training excursions.
Savannah joined the group at the last moment after a terrible breakup with her cheating boyfriend. Her plan for the weekend was to heal her broken heart, regain her self-confidence and stop enabling the men in her life.
Although both are emotionally hurting, they find themselves drawn to one another, like moths to a flame. With such a burning desire between them, is it enough to break through Jack’s wall of emotional upheaval? Is that desire also enough to heal Savannah’s broken heart? Can it be sustained after the weekend and in the real world? Finally, can desire become a lasting love and lead into a relationship?
As always, Addison Cole has written a story that runs the gamut of emotions. It is well written, with solid characters and has her trademark sweet with heat style. I guarantee you will fall in love with Jack and Savannah! I certainly did.
*I received a complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review.*
Promise of a New Beginning is the next book in Addison Cole’s Westin Braden’s series. This is the story of Savannah Braden and Jack Remington. Savannah is the daughter of Hal and Adrianne Braden, the only girl with 5 brothers and a high powered attorney in NYC but she feels like she is a magnet for Mr. Wrong and her last relationship proves that point. So she deicides to reclaim her mojo by taking part in a intense wilderness survival weekend. And that is how she meets Jack Remington. Jack comes from a big family too, was a Special Forces officer with the US Army, and has come to the woods to escape a tragic past. As the leader of the survival weekend, Jack and Savannah have sparks from their first contact. Over the course of the 4 day adventure, Jack and Savannah realize they could have a future together but first Jack must face his past demons so he can be available to embrace a happily ever after with Savannah.
Addison’s books are the perfect mix of sweet and heat. This book is an amazing stand alone story but is even better if you have read the other books in the series.
What a lovely story.
We have Savannah and Jack; she’s going through a rough patch, so going into this survival weekend sounds like a great way to get over her ex; and he’s pretty much constantly torturing himself for the death of his wife, so why not escape society and live alone in the woods?
Anyway, they meet at on of these survival weekends and realize what they feel for each other is much more than simple attraction.
I truly felt for Jack, the poor guy simply is surviving, whatever he’s doing it’s not living. He had such tortured soul, he really needed someone with lots of light, like Savannah.
She was also going through some personal stuff and boy the least thing she needed was love. Or was it?
I loved these two, and I loved how they helped each other out to heal. I also liked the others in the survival group, knowingly or not, they helped these two move on in their own ways.
There were secrets and confessions and lots of swoons. An all in all, entertaining and lovely read.
*Thank you to the author for providing a copy for which I’m giving my honest opinion*
I loved Savannah and Jack’s story. I loved the way that they each worked through what they were dealing with. Savannah was the jump start that Jack needed to get finally get past the death of his wife and the guilt that he had. I love that because of being ready to move on with things, Jack was able to fix things with those that he loved that he had pushed away. Savannah was the support and push that he needed, and Jack helped Savannah realize what love really was. Jack and Savannah may have had insta-love, and there are those that are skeptical of it, but sometimes you just know. Their story was well written.
‘Promise Of A New Beginning’ is the fifth book in the ‘Sweet With Heat: Weston Braden’s’ series, and one of my all time favourite Addison Cole book couples!
The book is about Savannah Braden, a woman who is attempting to recover from a broken heart, by treating herself to a weekend at a Survivor camp. It’s a trip that she hopes will rebuild her confidence, after hitting a low and focusing constantly on her work. But what she doesn’t embark upon, is meeting the oh so handsome, and brooding Jack Remington.
Jack too is suffering from a broken heart, and as a widow has chosen to live out his grief and upset by seeking solace from the mountains of Colorado. He feels guilty and holds himself accountable for the potential cause of his wife’s passing, constantly punishing himself and believing he has no right to be happy. But when he meets competitive Savannah he finds it difficult to resist her.
I love these two characters so much, their chemistry is off the charts, they are relatable, and Savannah is a real inspirational woman. She goes to the camp in order to try and rebuild herself, when to me she was strong from the beginning in realising she was worth more. Jack is also rugged and mysterious, and I couldn’t help but adore him. These two are the perfect match, and I love how respectful Savannah is of his late wife.
Cole is one of my favourite writers, and I love how she takes time to really develop her characters, and make them feel like your best friends or a part of your world. The book just left me feeling really good and wanting to know more about the Braden family.
This book is the perfect read for those who enjoy the sweeter romances, enjoy series and who loves love.
