Promise You by Fabiola Francisco
Review by: Alysia Promise You by Fabiola Francisco is a great, easy and fast read. Reese and Dex are very down to earth characters, they remind me of the people next door. The book is based in Nashville where Dex is an up and coming singer. Reese works for a marketing company but is very supportive of her brothers and friends who are musicians. That's where she meets Dex. Dex has wanted Reese since the first time he saw her while he was playing a gig at Riot bar. When she keeps shutting down his advances he settles to be her friend with the full intent to win her over. When she finally agrees to a date months later, he is over the moon. Reese has been burned before by a musician and doesn't trust her heart to fall again and it not end the same way. Her family and friends all tell her it's about damn time when she finally agrees to let her guard down and let him take her out. Dex promises her that he is not like her dumb ex-boyfriend and will always make time for her, even when he is on the road touring. Promise You alternates between Dex's and Reese's point of view, depending on the chapter. I enjoyed how fast you fall in love with the characters and their love for each other, even if they try and hide it. I've never had the chance to go to Nashville, but Fabiola Francisco makes it seem like its just another small town, which I love. Now for the things that weren't my favorite about the book. I felt it dragged a lot and there wasn't enough action or suspense to it. I understand that not all books have a lot of action or suspense, but I felt that this one could use a bit. I felt that the ending was in the middle and it took a while to pick back up again. ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.***
