Midnight Promises Book Review

I was really behind in writing all my reviews and I was still reading at a crazy speed.  I needed to slow down and write some reviews.  Luckily, I got to spend some time over the weekend to do exactly that.  I wrote two reviews one day and saved two for the next day and I was caught up.  That also meant that I had the week scheduled with all my posts.  I have been so behind on doing anything for the blog because things are still so up in the air.  I am hoping that I will be able to settle down and figure out where things are but until all of the boxes are unpacked, I don't know if that is going to be possible.  Luckily, I have my reading to distract me.  I started on Midnight Promises (A Sweet Magnolia Novel) by Sherryl Woods right after finishing the last book in the series.

When Elliott Cruz first courted struggling single mom Karen Ames, it it was a romance worthy of any Sweet Magnolia fantasy. The sexy personal trainer made it his mission to restore Karen's strength—physical and emotional—and to charm her children.  Now, a few years into the marriage, colliding dreams threaten to tear a few years into the marriage, colliding dreams threaten to tear them them apart. Elliott's desire to finance the business opportunity of a lifetime with their hard-earned "baby money" stirs Karen's deep-rooted financial insecurities. It's the discovery that their brother-in-law is cheating on Elliott's sister—and thinks it's justified—that puts their irreconcilable differences into perspective. Will their own loving fidelity be a bond so strong they can triumph against all odds?

It was a great book with lots of things going on at once.  There was the drama with Elliott and Karen trying to find the best compromises in their marriage after they were both used to living their own lives.  There was even more drama with Adelia, Elliott's sister, when her husband has cheated and disrespected her for the last time.  There are so many things going on that it is hard to say what my favorite part of the book was but I can tell you that I loved it.  It was a great escape from all the unpacking and moving that is still going on here which was perfect for me.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did when you pick it up at your local library or bookstore!
