This is book 2 in the sworn sisters series.
This is a very emotional read.
This story is all about second chances. The writing is amazing and it gives you all the feels.
I enjoyed reading about the characters journey of now she deals with everything throughout the story.
Highly recommend
I enjoyed the first book in this series, but I think I liked this one even better. Sam was hard to like at first but then I realized what she’s been through and how much she’s grown and I grew to like her more. Probably the best part of this book is her relationship with her friends (the Sworn Sisters). A very enjoyable read that encompasses lots of emotions-loss, love, friendship –I look forward to more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.
Samantha is a divorce attorney and she’s seen how infidelity can cause devastation in a marriage but she never dreamt it would happen to her. Blindsided by her husband’s confession and leaving her, she retreats to a small seaside town to lick her wounds and heal. Her best friends since high school, the Sworn Sisters, offer support and their undying love. But it’s not her girlfriends who occupy her thoughts but a local lawyer. He’s changed his name but she’d recognize him anywhere. They reconnect and there’s an attraction she can’t deny. But will he leave her like he did all those years ago or will she be the one to leave him for the lure of a partnership in the big city?
Sworn to Remember is a story about forgiving your past and finding balance in all facets of your life. The trials Samantha go through and how she works through them is told honestly with just the right amount of dramatic tension. Her growth is immense in this story yet all her pain drew me closer to her. Out of all the Sworn Sisters, Samantha is my favorite. Her spunk and passion remind me of a dear friend of mine. The romance between Samantha and Michael is slow burning but once they got together, they were electric. He pushes her to be a better person and to deal with her pain before it eats her alive.
An emotional read, Sworn to Remember will tug at your heartstrings. Highly recommend!
My Rating: 5 stars
Betrayal by the one you love and struggling to finding the meaning in your life, leads divorce attorney, Samantha to escape to the beach. With the help of her close friends from high school days known as the Sworn Sisters she discovers truths about her self, life and a new love. A beautiful story of friendship, romance, and discovery. This is part of a series but stands as a excellent read on it own. I am going to read the one before this and then look forward to the others.
A great story with engaging characters that will tug at your heart strings as Sam and Michael take that second chance. Not only a love story but a story about finding oneself and true happiness. Loved it and think you will too.
this was actually a really great book! she needs to leave town after finding out her husband cheated on her. she just wants to think and relax. only seeing a hot lawyer might just be more than she can handle. read to find out what happens.
Sworn to Remember
(Sworn Sisters Series Book 2)
by Maria Imbalzano
Sworn to Remember, is the second book of the Sworn Sisters series is an emotional read, with rough and real-life issues, forgiving the past and finding a balance. An intriguing story filled with betrayal, friendships, conflicts and a slow burning romance that will tug at every readers heartstring. Can be read as a stand-alone; but is even better reading the first book of the series, as each play a key role as the story begins to unfold; thus, helping to fill in the back story of the characters.
Author Ms. Maria Imbalzano has given her readers another excellent book that is well-written. Ms. Imbalzano has a writing style that is easy to understand, with vivid details, and brings out the true emotions of the characters so her readers can feel the emotions for themselves. The author creates amazing characters that work well together in a storyline that her readers can relate with. A book that is well worth reading. I absolutely enjoyed this book.

Could not put the book down to go to bed. Was worth the loss of sleep. Great story, characters, and look forward to reading more by this author.
Samantha Winslow felt she had the perfect life. She couldn’t ask for more. She did everything her family could dream she would do and more. Then every thing started to disappear and a new reality set in, Samantha’s reality.
Michael McCain is a very laid back attorney who works hard and plays even harder. He loves his time away from New York and now at Crescent Beach. He couldn’t ask for more, until his past meets his present.
Samantha has dealt with so much frustration once getting the news from her husband that life is about to change and fast. With his move and career change she is forced to come to terms with some new choices and some out of her hands.
I won’t spoil the surprise of what the biggest changes are. What you want to know is whether this book is a good read. It is and more. The plot, characters, & setting, are so compatible thst you will want to read this from beginning to end in one sitting if you like a good contemporary romance novel.
