5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartwarming Story from the Quintessential Storyteller 2 Oct 2000
By Maudeen Wachsmith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
One of the first romances I ever read was a Debbie Macomber book so I credit her with my current love for the genre. With RETURN TO PROMISE I am reminded just why I enjoy her books so much. She's able to weave a story so seamlessly and make it so heartwarming.

Jane, a physician, and Cal, a rancher, have been married several years and have two young children when Jane's father breaks his hip and Jane returns to her California hometown for a few weeks, children in tow. When she is in California, she realizes it is no longer her home and yearns for her new hometown of Promise, Texas.

Meanwhile, Cal is lost without Jane. Although he was a bachelor for many years, he has come to rely on Jane so much and finds himself feeling lonely. When complications require Jane remain in California, he finds himself a bit resentful.

Nicole Nelson has just returned to Promise with one thing on her mind - to seduce Cal. She doesn't care that he's married - it just makes the game more challenging. When she hears Jane is out of town, she figures she has more of a chance to succeed in her malicious endeavor. Nicole's actions seem rather innocent at first - but it soon becomes evident that she has an ulterior motive in mind. Will Cal and Jane's marriage survive this invasion?

We also meet many of the people of Promise, but readers who haven't read the other Promise books won't feel left out. What a skill it is to write a sequel like this and make it stand alone!

RETURN TO PROMISE reminds me of Jan Karon's "Mitford" series - a heartwarming story, set in a small town, with many endearing secondary characters.

After reading RETURN TO PROMISE, readers will be anxious to read the stories featuring the other residents -- Lonesome Cowboy, Texas Two-Step, Caroline's Child, Dr. Texas, Nell's Cowboy, and Lone Star Baby.

There is rarely a better reading experience than a Debbie Macomber book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Return to Promise 22 Oct 2000
By K. Morgan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
A fan of the Heart of Texas series, I had to read this book. And needless to say I wasn't disappointed. Once again the characters are real and their situations are real. Debbie Macomber did an excellent job of conveying the emotions of both Jane and Cal. She wrote of both their feelings--Jane's wanting to be reassured and Cal's "she already knows, I don't need to tell her" attitude. Even Nicole in her quest for Cal seemed real. I loved the confrontation between her and Jane at the book store. Go Jane!!!! I love these people in Promise, Texas and Debbie Macomber for creating such wonderful people to read about. This is real life with a happy ending!!!!

P.S. When's the next Promise, Texas book???????? I'm ready for it!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to Promise 1 Oct 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I've read the other Promise stories and, granted, this one isn't typical. But I found it very real. The difficulties in Cal and Jane's marriage are definitely believable; they stem from small frustrations and careless moments, as marital problems so often do in life, and are exacerbated by the death of Jane's father. Jane's grief, too, is very believable. And Nicole, the woman who tries to break up Cal's marriage, might be a bit cliched but let's face it--cliches have a grounding in truth. Overall I liked the story a lot and I found the emotions genuine. I thought the resolution worked because you can believe in these characters and in the love they have for each other, despite the fact that daily life has gotten in the way of their expressing that love. Macomber's fictional Texas town is less idealized in this story but in the end returning to Promise is a satisfying experience.
