So glad that I still decided to give this book a try, even though ‘Things we wanted to say (but never did)’ was such a disaster. This book made up for it and made me even more excited to read more Monica Murphy books in the future! the heroine was just too much.... I really understand that she had a traumatic childhood but man u don't need to treat the people u love like that 🤡 Couldn't connect with her and I don't understand why she handled things like she did But then I did the unthinkable, and betrayed him in the worst possible way. I thought I lost him for good…” Monica is really started this one off with a bang. This story has this rich aristocratic feel throughout it. It’s filled with darker tones, and top notch angst. It’s definitely different then anything else in the Lancaster world we have seen so far, and I was loving it.

Her mother is very much a psychotic demon. I hated her in all the other books and despise her even more in this one! The things she did to her family and especially her children is unforgivable and so disgusting. So glad that she got what she deserved at the end and won’t be a bother anymore. Karma wins once again! Just so yk, the story fully evolves about Sylvie and her relationship with her mother, more than the romance itself. The story behind it, is quite original, i just didn’t like the conclusion, it was too rushed.From start to finish you are hanging onto every single word. For the last 24 hours this book was my entire life. I ate, slept and breathed this story and this couple' 5***** Reader Review They fell deeply in love while at Lancaster Prep - where Sylvie's parents ran the school. Their relationship was a whirlwind of passion. But Sylvie committed the ultimate betrayal. Until one day she runs into him at a wedding. He's older and still unbearably handsome. Their undeniable connection draws them together.

The weight this story holds goes beyond anything I could ever imagine. Not only with Sylvie living with the knowledge and assumptions by herself, but then to be blatantly screaming for help in her own way and not being hard? Just crushed my heart. I loved A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime, so I was very excited to read the next book in the Lancaster series! Promises We Meant to Keep is a second chance/brother’s best friend romance that follows Sylvie and Spencer from Thing I Wanted to Say, But Never Did. Im glad she found Spencer Donato who has always been there for her. The thing is that for years she used him and never took him serious. As the story starts, they reconnect again and they get to have a second chance. This is the third book in the Lancaster prep series, I would say you should read things we wanted to say but never did first just then you can understand Sylvie and a character and person more this book just explains her and her relationships better. It's basically set 2-3yrs after things we wanted to say but never did and what happened to sylvie afterwards. The main story is about Sylvies relationship with Spencer being dual pov and how they reconcile also ✨️spoilers✨️ how they get married at the end. There is a sub plot about Sylvies relationship with her mother but that also gets kinda stale and dull.The contradictions of Sylvie’s personality are what makes her the most intriguing to me, I think. Combined with the dichotomy of the ever-patient yet fierce Spencer, the duo’s romance is an emotionally charged, coming of age story full of tender moments and explosive couplings. If you read things I wanted to say, then you remember Sylvie. I am one of those people. I have been waiting for her story for a while now, and it’s nothing I could ever imagine. I absolutely LOVE this book. I love Syl & Spence. They were EVERYTHING! True Soulmates, from the moment they met. Their love ran deep! And their chemistry - HOT🔥🔥🔥!!! Addictive, angsty and unforgettable . . . their chemistry was explosive' 5***** READER REVIEW Read more Look Inside Details From the bestselling author of A Million Kisses In Your Lifetime, this is the addictive Lancaster Prep novel about second chances and star-crossed love . . .

I really hope Carolina gets a book in the future and I look forward to reading other books by this author, even though Promises We Meant to Keep wasn’t for me personally! The ending felt a little rushed, but was ultimately satisfying. And while the story wasn't fully what I had hoped for, it still hit the spot.This didn't really do it for me. Maybe it's because I haven't read the rest of Lancaster Prep, or really a MM book in quite some time, but this was just flat. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either.

Knowing the “why” to justify people’s actions, is a luxury some take for granted. Sometimes, there isn’t one. And that’s terrifying. While other times, you just don’t need the “why”.

It was so cool to be inside this world once again!! If you read book one on the series, we all know that Sylvie was kinda the villain in that book, which made me hesitant to read her story. The spicy scenes also weren’t too much or took up too much of the plot which I liked. They were actually quite hot and well written if you ask me!
