This Thanksgiving dinner is one for the record books.I know when I open a book by Anne Rainey, I'm in for a treat. Sam's Promise doesn't disappoint. The writing flows and had me from page one. I became invested in the characters and thought about Sam and Julie even after I closed the book. Yeah, they really stuck with me.Sam and Julie are great characters. Both have big hearts, even when Sam doesn't want it to show. I loved how he made it his mission to set things right. I also loved how he made himself very available to Julie. No guessing he wanted her.Julie wants to please. I loved how she keeps him at bay. She makes him work for what he wants. That's the other thing. When he decides what he wants, he doesn't take no for an answer. His determination is darned sexy, not to mention the descriptions Ms Rainey gives for Sam. I could visualize him easily and can describe him in one word -- yum.I also want to mention the brothers. This story isn't just about two characters. Yes, Julie and Sam's romance is at the heart of it, but there are great secondary characters in his brothers. I'm hoping there will be more stories with these guys. In a few pages, Ms Rainey describes them all well, making them distinct and memorable -- especially the twins.If you want a story with heat, heart and a holiday slant, then this is the book for you.Originally posted at LAS Erotic Romance Reviews
