Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
You promised me forever is a second chance book, but at the same time, it didn't feel like it. Jordan and Amanda have a history together, they were in love with each other once upon a time, they broke up, moved on with their lives and after a documentary, they got the chance to talk and see each other again. Both of them have mostly got their break up behind them and accepted it. We don't get to see a ton of bitterness from either and at the same time there is a part of them and mostly from Jordan's part, that hasn't moved on and is not ok with how things ended. The story is mostly told from Amanda's point of view, so it wasn't as easy to see what Jordan's motives and thoughts were. He is completely honest with Amanda though and that helped me understand what was on his mind.
The book felt like the usual romance where the hero and heroine meet each other after the story begins and have 0 history together. It could have simply been a new relationship that was moving on very quickly. It doesn't have any angst and it was one of the easiest second chance books to read in my opinion. I am dying to see Jordan and Amanda's friend getting a story with Sussana. That pair had a spark and I want to see if they will get a happy end. After Amanda and Jordan's story ended, the author mentioned that there is another story about them happening when they together six years ago, so you might wanna check that out too.

Excerpt:
Jordan
Of course, I’m not going to shake Amanda’s hand.
Instead I grab hold of it, that unmistakable jolt of electricity sparking when our skin connects, just like every other time we’ve touched. I pull her to me and wrap her up in my arms because I can. I’m the one who offered up the tickets so I could…what? Show off? Let her know exactly how great my life is?
I can’t lie. My life is pretty damn great. I have everything I could ever want—except for one thing.
“Hi Jordan,” she breathes against my neck, and I swear she melts into me a little. Like she can’t help herself. Like we somehow still fit together even after all these years.
Either she got smaller or I grew bigger since the last time I touched her, and I’m guessing it’s the latter. She smells familiar, yet different. Better. I recognize the scent of her shampoo, but nothing else. Her hair is longer. Thick. Dark and wavy, up in a ponytail and a little disheveled, like she’s had a long day. Her body is curvier, something teenaged Amanda would’ve never believed could happen. She still has those sexy long legs, though.
Finally, she pulls away from me, her lips curled, her eyes sparkling, nervousness written all over her face, and I watch her carefully in return, my expression as neutral as I can make it. Honestly, I’m still a little pissed over that garbage game we just played, and I’m tense like I usually am after. Her understanding gaze meets mine and I know she knows what I’m feeling. We’ve always been in tune with each other…
She’s my Mandy, all grown up. But not my Mandy anymore.
