Book Review of 'Pages of Promise' by Jessica Ashley

Hello February!

February is the month of love but sadly this month is starting with much heartbreak in my family as we had to say goodbye to our beloved dog of almost twelve years, Reagan. She's been sick the past few months and suddenly she starting having problems yesterday morning. At 1:15pm she took her final breath with just me at her side and it's taking everything I have to keep it together. I am so thankful for the love that she shared with me and our family over the years and she will be missed tremendously.

I'm sorry this is such a rough start to this review but I just had to get it off my chest. I am so thankful to all of my readers that continue to visit me here on my tiny little slice of the internet and I hope that you feel part of my heart when you're here. My reviews are so very important to me and the fact that you took the time to stop here and read my words means the world to me.

With all that said, I am SUPER excited to be sharing my review for the day. Don't let the clean in this romantic suspense full you, as this novel is incredible!

About the Book

Title: Pages of Promise
Series: Coastal Hope #1
Author: Jessica Ashley
Publisher: B.A.D. Publishing, LLC
Release Date: February 5, 2024
Genre: Christian/Clean Romantic Suspense

When Eliza's life is threatened, she turns to a handsome veteran for help.

I left everything I'd ever known behind. And that decision may cost me my life.

The moving truck hadn't even been unpacked when my fresh start went up in flames.

A frightening letter left in my mailbox and signed Always Yours sends me running to the only man in town who can help me.

Driven by his protective nature and a mission he believes comes from God, ex-Army Ranger Lance Knight agrees, despite the fact that I've made it no secret I want nothing to do with him--or anyone for that matter.

The longer we're together, the more I begin to realize that Lance is more than I gave him credit for. Something that troubles me nearly as much as the fact that an unknown man seems to have already claimed me as his.

Trouble is, my admirer has a jealous side, and it's not long before Lance is pulled into the crosshairs right alongside me…

Get your copy now and be ready to stay up all night!

Pages of Promise is a swoon-worthy, faith-based, suspenseful romance between a jaded woman and the hero determined to protect not just her body…but her heart.

My Review

Don’t let the fact that Pages of Promise is a clean romantic suspense fool you, this novel packs quite the punch, and is one of my favorite suspenseful January reads.

Eliza doesn’t trust men, which is completely understandable considering everything she’s been through in her past, but it blinds her to the honorable man that has came into her life, Lance Knight. Sadly, her hope for a new life and fresh start is quickly extinguished when she starts being harassed by an unknown stalker. Lance believes it’s God’s will to protect her and despite Eliza’s stubbornness he remains faithful to her and his calling.

I loved this novel so much. The heart pounding was almost nonstop with wave after wave of suspense that kept the pages turning until I could not put the book down. Who doesn’t love a novel like that? The character development is wonderful as the reader is allowed to see the inner struggles while also witnessing them deal with this very scary threat.

“God never fails, people do” is a quote that will stick with me for a long time, and the faith that Lance has was truly inspiring to me. This is an amazing start to a new series and I cannot wait to see what’s in store.

My Rating: ★★★★★
