The Promise of Rayne

 

Rayne Shelby has spent her entire life trying to earn the approval of her high-powered family, with the hope of one day managing her late grandfather’s prestigious Idaho lodge. But when she makes a mistake that puts her future in jeopardy, she faces an impossible choice: defy her family or deny her dream. The only way to fix the mess she’s created is to enlist the help of her neighbor, Levi, the apprentice of her family’s greatest enemy. And if Rayne gets caught crossing the divided property lines, the consequences will be irreparable.

Levi Harding has never forgotten the August night he shared with Rayne when they were teens—or the way she later rejected him. Despite his warring instincts, he can’t ignore her plea for help or the spark that’s ignited between them. But now, as wildfires bear down on their town and family secrets are revealed, their newfound alliance might just go up in smoke.

My Thoughts:

I absolutely loved this story!!!!

Some books you read you will like and some you will actually love, but this book was so much more for me.  It literally swallowed me heart and soul.  Even after finishing this book I found myself thinking about the characters and picking the book up to reread certain parts.  It is rich with characters that are engaging and complex, but the plot took me straight to the small town in Idaho.  The imagery literally brought the place alive in my mind and I settled in for the endearing story of a beautiful, young woman who's life is literally about to explode around her in the blink of an eye.  This story has elements of mystery, trust, grief, and love.  

Rayne's grandfather passed away when she was young, but she has a wealth of memories that she holds close to her heart.  The grief she holds is raw and real.  She has always tried to make her family proud of her and the work she does at the prestigious lodge her family owns.  Her father is governor of the state, but that has never affected who she really is.  When he arrives at the lodge to announce his plans to run again for office Rayne makes a mistake that involves their neighbor, Levi Harding, that puts everything she has worked so hard for out of her reach.  

This is a book that I would recommend to anyone.
