Product Description
Product Description
Jared Thomas has lived his whole life in the small mountain town of Coda, Colorado. He can't imagine living anywhere else. Unfortunately, the only other gay man in town is twice his age and used to be his teacher, so Jared is resigned to spending his life alone.
Until Matt Richards walks into his life, that is. Matt has just been hired by the Coda Police Department, and he and Jared immediately become friends. Matt claims he is straight, but for Jared, having a sexy friend like Matt is way too tempting. Facing Matt's affair with a local woman, his disapproving family, and harassment from Matt's co-workers, Jared fears they'll never find a way to be together-if he can even convince Matt to try.

By the end of the first page I was hooked. Sure,Marie Sexton's writing makes for an easy read but she also tackles the grit of human emotions, fears and joys.... add real life drama and you have a compelling read. A real plus is Promises is published by Dreamspinner press and comes on quality paper, good font and your purchase is a good investment of money and time .... though I found myself picking the book up at every available opportunity. Highly recommended.

Jared is a young gay man living in small-town Colorado, helping to tun the family store rather than be a teacher for fear of local anti-gay sentiment. He lives a virtually celibate existence. Then, into his life comes Matt, the new policeman in town and the two quickly become firm friends. Jared hopes and suspects that Matt is gay but Matt insists he is straight. The core of the story is the evolution of the mutual attraction, turning to love, between the two men and the complications, tensions and pain that come with that. It is a lovely book with two compellingly attractive heroes - attractive both physically and as personalities, and a story that is both realistic and enthralling. While the basic formula is familiar, its treatment is done with originality and skill.

This book is a really pleasurable read. The characters are beautifully written and brought to life, and the romance of their story unfolds wonderfully. Plus there are some really hot scenes - always a bonus!
Often books of this genre can be a bit disappointing, with implausible scenes and repetitive sex. This is not always a bad thing but every now and then it's a treat to find a gem like this with a real plot and real characters.
Try it - it's fab!!!

A joy to read
A beautifully written and surprisingly touching story. The characters are completely endearing - flawed, funny and somehow familiar. Read more

A well written, expressive and charming story. Once I began reading, I couldn't put it down until I'd reached the end.
