Excerpt
Slowly, I peel my eyes from hers so I can see the rest of her. Her hair is longer, barely past her shoulders. The sheer black tresses frame her bronzed, heart-shaped face. I brush my thumbs across her defined cheekbones. Her eyelids flutter closed until my thumbs stop moving.
Her fingers slide along my waist, resting on my back, and a small smile plays on her lips.
Having her here in my arms makes all those dreams feel like a distant memory. The dreams where she was always out of my reach, yet here she is, in my grasp. With skin as soft as an angel’s song, embrace as warm as the summer sun, and scent as potent as a botanical garden.
She’s mine.

Lowering my face to hers, I take in her scent and revel in the closeness that I’m finally allowed. Her sweet breath fans over my mouth, and I lose control for a second.
I crash my lips to her soft, supple mouth. Her hands press against my back, pulling me closer to her.
Regaining my composure, I take a breath through my nose and ease the pressure against her lips. I refuse to lose contact, so I slide a hand behind her neck, holding her in place.
This is home.
Right here with her.


Featured Review
Soul Promise is the second book in the Soul Mate series. It can be read as a standalone but best if read after the first book, True Connection.
Henry just discover his wolf. He's a halfling, an abomination to some. He struggles to keep himself sane and deal with the odd threats whispered in his head. He's being targeted and worse yet he doesn't know how to protect himself or anyone he cares about. Delilah and Henry have feelings for each other but are too afraid to do anything about it. Neither one knows if they are each other's mate or not. Will they be or will their connection dissolve? With threats looming over their heads no one is safe and lives will be lost as new friends are gained. Who will be left standing in the end?
So much better than the first! I really enjoyed this installment. I could feel Henry's emotions and struggles leap off the page like they were my own. I was pulled in with the action and threats that loomed over him. I enjoyed the addition of new characters and creatures as well as seeing the familiar faces. Delilah was a strong character that packed enough punch to keep Henry on his feet. Things did sometimes happen too quickly and were easy going but overall the story was great. I can't wait to read some of the other characters. I would like to see Tristan's book. I recommend this for any YA paranormal romance fan who enjoys love stories about soulmates and a love at first sight connection.
