Nora's Promise
by Sedona Hutton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She
trusts animals more than men. He runs through women like tires. Will an
orphaned child force them to change gears?
With
her sister’s death, Nora’s life changed in an instant. Forced to raise her
orphaned nephew, the animal rescuer doesn’t expect to be dumped and fired by
her kid-hating boyfriend/boss. After her own close call and a message from
beyond, Nora introduces the little boy to his handsome, fast-living absentee
father.
Davey
Johnson is a hot-shot NASCAR driver who never wanted to be slowed down by
fatherhood. But when he finds out he has a nine-year-old son, he vows to be a
better father than his old man. When his first efforts fail in a big way, he
enlists Nora’s parenting help. But what starts as a chore transforms into
something way hotter than a final lap.
When Davey’s
sponsors clash with Nora’s vegan ways, he’s forced to choose between his
passion for racing and his love of Nora. Will they be able to blend their lives
or will their romance run right off the track?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
He
straddled the bleachers so he was facing her and patted the space in front of
him. Nora hesitated, but then she straddled the bleacher facing him. He took
both of her hands. “Nora, not all men leave.”
“The men in my life do,” she said, glancing
down at their joined hands.
“Maybe
you just haven’t found the right man,” Davey said, shocked even as the words
rolled out of his mouth. Where had that come from? But it got Nora’s attention.
“Maybe.”
Her response was tentative but her head lifted and her shoulders relaxed as she
spoke.
“How
about we just take this one step at a time,” he suggested, touching a hand to
her cheek.
Her
green eyes widened and sparked with surprise. “We have a this?”
“I
sure as hell hope so.” He leaned in and skimmed his lips over hers. When she
let out a soft moan, he kissed her, sweet, intense, and lingering. He drew back
only when he needed air.
“We
can’t do this,” she said. But as she protested, she nibbled on his lower lip.
“Really?”
he asked, half-amused. On a hunch, he waited her out. Sure enough, a couple of
beats later she tugged his mouth to hers for a smoking hot kiss.
When
she drew back, she slid back. “We gotta stop doing that,” she said, even though
her actions indicated she wanted something entirely different. She rubbed her
fingers over her lips like they were still burning from his kiss and her eyes
glinted red hot desire.
While
she was still a little disoriented, he pulled her in closer. “I’m gonna come
back you know.” He rested his forehead on hers. “As much as I can in between
races.”
“I
want to believe,” she said, her voice barely a whisper.

I
TOTALLY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
This
book keeps you totally engaged from page one through the very last page! I honestly had a hard time putting this book
down!
Last
year, I had previously read and enjoyed Sedona’s other book, “Cloud Whispers,” so I was thrilled to
get the chance to read her latest work.
Sedona’s
writing only continues to improve, grow, and expand with each book! I know she will be author I will continue to
read over the years!
This book
was such a fun, sweet, entertaining, enjoyable read!!!
I
loved the main characters, Nora, Davey, Ben, and Pap! They were likable, genuine, and realistic
(minus some special abilities lol)! They
all had baggage and had come from difficult pasts – but that’s what made them
real and I think help them relate to each other and easily form a bond.
I
loved Nora and Davey together – they fit well together and had chemistry that just
sizzled off the pages!!
I
absolutely LOVED that Nora was an animal rescuer. I am such an animal lover so I totally
connected to that and those were some of my favorite passages.
I
also really enjoyed the NASCAR element about Davey being the hot-shot driver. That was really cool getting a VIP insider glance
into that world.
This
book has a great storyline that flows, terrific writing style with detailed
scenes, well-developed characters, is steady paced, and keeps you completely
entertained through the last page.
I
like that this book touches on many topics such as love, romance, friendship, family,
hard life lessons, second chances, change, dedication, perseverance, growth,
humor, compassion, empathy, integrity, unity, determination, faith, hope,
forgiveness, moving on, challenges, starting over, new beginnings, fresh
starts, overcoming obstacles, and so much more!
For
me, this book absolutely worked!!! It
hit everything I look for and need when I am reading and reviewing a book!!!
I
would absolutely recommend this book, and this author as I was truly impressed
with the quality of writing, intriguing storyline, and excellent character
development! I will definitely be continuing
to follow this author and check out her upcoming books!
