First review of Promise is a Promise from reviewer Susan Sewell at Readers’ Favorite. The book will be released on December 25!
Promise is a Promise (Intertwined Souls Series) by Mary D. Brooks is an enchanting LGBTQ novel in a fascinating series. It is a romantic novel filled with hope, recovery, and renewal.
Artist Lucia Nobrega’s illustrations are fabulous and enhance the beauty and enjoyment of the story.
Lighthearted and charming, the story inspires women to achieve their dreams and warms the hearts of the romantics. It is an inspiring romantic novel that is heart-touching and uplifting and will charm everyone who is a fan of LGBTQ novels. Due to the intimacy recounted in the scenes, the story is more suitable for a mature audience.
