Sam just moved to Atlanta to work for her best friend's husband, Damien. Sam and Allison are BFFs so it is natural for Sam to want to be close to Allison since they just found out Allison is pregnant, right?  Wrong.  Sam can't help but be excited for her BFF but the news threw her for a loop.  Sam's past comes tearing up through the walls she thought she had built and she is having trouble coping.Sam's normal coping mechanism is sex.  Sam doesn't date people, doesn't do romance, she likes to have a night with no strings attached.  Since she just moved to town, she is feeling the stress of not having had sex for a while.  Enter Mark, one of the players on Damien's team.  Sam and Mark have hooked up twice in the past for a night of hot steamy sex - when I say hot I mean HOT!Ever since Mark met Sam, he has been interested in more than one night but he'll take Sam any way he can get her.  Mark's ultimate goal is to get Sam to try for a real relationship with him.  The more Sam hooks up with Mark, the more she starts wanting more.  She sees the loving relationship that Allison and Damien have and she starts to want that too - with Mark.  Once Sam gets the courage to approach the topic with Mark, of course, he agrees to give it a real go.Promise Me is more than just the tale of Sam and Mark's romance.  Promise Me is really about the promises you make to yourself - whether it be to be true to yourself or keep a secret to protect a friend; the promises you make to your friends to always be there for them; the promises you make to your significant other to always talk about your feelings, what's bothering you, to never leave and love one another.  Promise Me is about opening yourself up to love whether it is scary or not, whether you may be hurt or not, and love healing the scars of your past.Promise Me was very well written.  I can't wait to read more from Kristin.  I loved the zany cast of characters who deserve to live on in other books!  From page one I was engrossed in the book, I laughed a ton, cried a little, and was so sad to see Promise Me end - I wanted it to keep going on.  Kudos to Kristin for the great read!***A free copy of Promise Me was provided in exchange for an honest review.
