Promise Me is the third book in the Trust Series.

OUR REVIEW

❤❤❤❤
This is the 3rd book in the Trust series you should read the others first so you don't miss something or past events.. With that said, this book was great from start to finish. In this book we follow Sam, Allison's best friend through her trying to cope with her past and learning to open up to the possibilities of love.

Sam has moved to NC for her job and is trying to get a grip on the fact that her bff is married and pregnant. She is also trying to get a grip on being a little jealous of her friend. Sam uses guys for her benefit, sex only no strings, kinda like a man..

In comes Mark, you will fall for him just like I did, hook, line and sinker. After a night of sex with him he somehow got under her skin. After a year of bumping into one another at functions for his football team, Sam contacts him when she moves to NC. Only for sex, granted it's hot sex, melt your panties hot sex. He is the man of almost all womens dreams in bed. He wants more and hears it all the time from Sam that it's only sex nothing more. But that's just not working for Mark, he wants more, and he thinks Sam needs and deserves more.

"I'm not asking you to be my damn girlfriend. I heard you the first fifty times when you said you didn't do that. Call it whatever you want, but we will be exclusive. When one of us ends it, it's over. I'm not a booty call for when you're in between men, Sam. I'll keep you satisfied, but you're exclusively be mine to satisfy anytime." ~ Mark

Never thinking she wants or deserves more, no matter what anyone says, but when Mark becomes more than just sex can she handle it? Will her past she's buried so deep she's forgot about it sometimes come back to haunt her? Will Mark be the man to stand by her through it?

I loved all the books in this series but I think this is my favorite.

Mark is the perfect book boyfriend in my book!

BOOK TRAILER

EXCERPT:

I received a couple of catcalls as my body moved to the music. I knew the best thing was to always ignore them as I let the music take me over. My hips swayed, and my hands went up in the air. The third song started playing, and a light gleam of sweat coated my skin. Some unwanted bodies had tried to get close to me, but I knew how to keep my distance from strangers without losing my rhythm. It was freeing. I was lost in the beat when familiar hands came around my front. I knew it was Mark.

His mouth came to my ear. “Hey. Wanna dance?”

Mark pulled me to him. Our bodies joined, and we began moving together. His head came down and kissed the exposed part of my neck, and I tilted to the side to give him full access. The crowd had thickened and was pressing in on us. The pulse of the music drove us. We moved until we were both a hot mess, and neither one of us had said a word through multiple songs of the most hip-grinding, dirty dancing I had ever done.

After nibbling on my earlobe, Mark said, “Let’s say bye to the boys, and then I’m taking you home. I think all these assholes got the picture of whose bed you belong in.”

Turning to face him, I kissed him hard as his hands stroked my back. His leg went between my legs, and we started moving again. Our hot tongues danced with each as our bodies moved as one. We were both sweaty and hot. We were about to be a sexual explosion out here if we didn’t leave soon.

Pulling back barely, our lips still touching, I responded, “Now, all the girls who were hanging around, hoping for a shot with you, know who you’re taking to bed tonight.”

He grabbed my ass, bringing me closer to him, and it only increased my sexual need for him.

Mark bit my lip and then said, “I like you a little jealous. Let’s go before I lose my remaining bit of self-control.”
