I loved Dex and Reese. They are such loveable pair, so sweet and romantic. I love their chemistry and the way they communicated with each other each once they both had time to settle down, they really were a breathe of fresh air, with no extra drama. 😉
I highly recommend Promise You if you like a sweet and sexy country singer who puts his girl before his career then you’re in the right place and Dex is the guy for you.
She friend zoned him. It was the safest thing she could do no matter how much she wanted him. He wanted her no needed her and if friends was all she would allow he was all for it until his friend said You need to woo her man. Suck it up and stake your claim. And a staking is what he did. Great story of friends to lovers and this author does it with bells on. With some of our old friends along for the ride we get to be apart of these two becoming one working thru their past to claim their future. We get to ride the roller coaster of emotions and celebrations. It’s one of those stories the resonate in your heart as you see the pain, the awareness, the recovery. This author enjoys writing stories that are based in realism, high on emotions, with healing and hea as the result. It isn’t always an easy one but like this one it will touch you in some way.

My Rating: 4.5 stars ******
Oh Dex… Although multiple times I was calling him Dax in my head. Maybe just too much Vanderpump Rules or too excited for Veronica Mars? Either way, I loved all 3!
I get Reece being scared and not wanting to be involved with a musician but I think Dex went above and beyond showing that he’s not a regular, one night stand searching for rockstar. He might have been once but once he saw Reece and then got to know her, he was hooked.
I don’t think I read the first book – not enough sleep, I can’t remember, but I need to learn about Jason’s story. I think that will help me truly appreciate this world of the Nashville stars they have going on.
A beautiful heartfelt love story that will leave you believing in soulmates. Rex works hard to gain Reese’s trust and love and when he does they are explosive. A fantastic read.
Lighthearted quick read with lots of feel good feels and even some giggles!
Dex and Reese were smart, realistic and relatable characters as they are instantly attracted when they meet. Despite their attraction, their friendship comes first as they both have been burnt in the past.
Can they have more than friendship.
I knew the answer but their slow burn attraction, banter and journey made for a swoonworthy read.
3.5 stars!
Sweet tale of friends-to-lovers. The chemistry and blindness between the two characters concerning what they have, made you feel as if you were a friend on the sidelines waiting for them to realize what was beyond obvious. If you love a hard working, country musician and a stubborn, sassy girl, then these two will keep you entertained. The friendly remarks, unconditional support and teasing were sweet and their intimate moments were steamy, yet filled with so much emotion. You feel each tumultuous moment as they experience them. Enjoyed this book and the easygoing nature of all the characters.
Promise You is a spin off from Rebel Desire and I now need to read this book too! This is Dex Monroe and Reese Stone’s story.
Reese is over dating musicians and guess what Dex is. Yep, another musician. Promise you is angst driven so get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions. Dex and Reese are friends now what happens when they take the next step? You could feel the chemistry between them.
Dex is starting his career singing. Reese has sworn off musicians, now what? We get front seats to reading about them falling in love and all the trials and tribulations that happen with falling in love. Dex is chasing and Reese is running.
This is my second book that I have read by Fabiola Francisco and I really enjoyed this book. Now I need to make time to go back and read more from her. Because even though you can read this book as a standalone I always want to know how everyone got together and why they interact the way that they do. 4.5 stars.
PROMISE YOU

This friends to lovers by Fabiola Francisco was such a heartwarming romance and had me smiling and laughing.
Dex and Reese were so cute together. The foundation that their relationship had was so strong. Faith made Reese finally take the leap and give Dex the chance to prove that all musicians weren’t the same.
The whirlwind romance between Dex and Reese is not to be missed. Hot, up and coming country musician gets all his wishes and dreams through Reese and never sacrifices his beliefs. Dex is so swoon worthy. You will fall in love with the characters and this book! A must read.
I didn’t want to put this book down once I started reading it. It is absolutely amazing, I truly felt like I was in the story watching Reese and Dex fall in love. I felt all the emotions and connection they have thru my kindle.
Another swoon worthy music romance gem from Fabiola Francisco. This story is about Dex and Reese. Reese falls in love with Dex music and is at first a hidden away fan. But Dex notices her and soon a friendship forms. There is attraction there but Dex is usually not a relationship man and Reese has been hurt badly before. But one day the attraction can’t be denied and a romance blooms. But it’s anything but simple. Life gets in the way and they struggle to hold on. They have to decide if love is worth the risk. Get ready to root for this couple. Dex is so swoon worthy. Reese is stubborn and strong and great female lead. I guarantee you won’t be able to put this book down.
Fatally Friend- Zoned!!
Franciso weaves such an entertaining and engaging romance with Promise You. Plucking all the right heart string with this perfect score of angst, hope, and self-discovery.
Reese has sworn off relationships with anyone in the music business, and that includes her sexy romantic, caring and oh so scrumpdillyicious best friend Dex. Did I mention he was a talented songwriter and musician?
I have to say I am a bit torn with Reese. She is so determined not to be the recipient of a broken heart that she fails to see she is the cause of it for someone else. I really enjoyed her character but at times I wanted to shake some sense into her! When she finally does give her heart a chance .. Magic
Dex is all the right ingredients for the perfect book boyfriend. His tenacity was a total turn on. His career was just beginning but he knew without his BFF by his side it would not be the life he truly dreamed of. He also knew to love Reese could cost him his dream but sometimes you have to take a chance.
This is a bit of a spin-off from the Rebel Desire gang – A fabulous series if you have not yet had the pleasure. This is a standalone
Dex, a musician, wanted Reese the moment he saw her. Something just told him she was special, but she was also guarding her heart, having been hurt before by another in the same business. Add in the fact, she has a sibling in a band and she has firsthand experience with that life. Deciding he’d rather have her than lose her, they instead become friends,.
Reese has been hurt before, and though she’s very attracted to Dex, she’s scared to act on it. As they become friends, fighting the pull to him grows harder, especially as he’s setting out to prove he’s different than anyone she’s ever known. But Reese is as determined to resist as Dex is to insist that they belong together.
Who will win the fight for the future? Will Dex be able to convince Reese they belong together? Can Reese admit her feelings for Dex and take a chance by risking her heart and their friendship if it doesn’t work out?
One-click now and follow along as two people destined to be together must work through one’s past hurt in order to get the HEA they deserve. I enjoyed the fact that Dex was the one who was so sure they belonged together and did whatever was necessary to show Reese he wouldn’t hurt her. She needed convinced and he was patient while giving her that.
WHY am I just now finding Fabiola Francisco?? I am so sad I am behind in her writing! I fell in love with Promise You in the prologue. Reese and Dex were pretty dang perfect! There were a couple of times I wanted to shake Reese, but Dex’s patience with her was beautiful! There were some slow parts of the book (for me), but overall this is a FIVE STAR read!
This was a very enjoyable book. Reese and Dax are best friends. The kind of friend you call when you need a mouse taken care of. But Dax is hoping for so much more. But he is also a singer and about to have his life changed. Reese is afraid that his new life won’t have space for her in it. These two have amazing chemistry. I absolutely love these two together and wanted to throw my kindle when something bad goes down between them. Will love overcome everything and these two will get their happy ever after? A well written gripping enjoyable book from beginning to end.
Promise You is my first read by Fabiola Francisco. I was glued to each page! This book has chemistry, amazing characters, and a story line that you want more of. I love the chase. But I adore when the characters finally give love a try. Promise You is a swoon worthy romance story that will keep you reading late into the night! I have a new author that I added to my go to list!
This is Dex and Reese’s love story, a slow burn to an inferno. They started off as friends and developed true, loving feelings for each other. I was routing for them and loved catching up with everyone from previous books. Never give up on the person you love the most. I highly recommend you read this book. Get your copy May 1st.
This was a wonderful friends to lovers romance that not only had off the chart chemistry but also had two perfect characters that the reader could not help but fall in love with. Finding romance is always hard but add in the music industry and time apart and you have a combination of items that can make or break a relationship. Through it all Dex and Reese not only get closer but when they take their friendship to the next level the emotions and worry about crossing lines that should not be crossed shines through. This was a great read and I look forward to reading more from this Fabiola Francisco.
