Promise Me

By: Sara Cate

Narrated by: Will Watt, Shane East, Kelli Tager

He let him get away once… Now he has seven days to get him back.
Fifteen years ago, Declan Barclay left for uni with plans of becoming an artist and escaping his family's heavy rule. What he didn't expect was to meet a soft and enigmatic actor in desperate need of guidance…and a friend. Declan quickly took Colin Shelby under his wing and the two were inseparable ever since.
That is until the night before graduation, when lines were crossed and everything changed.
Now, after years apart, Colin is back in Declan's life, but he's not alone. He's made a promise to marry someone else, and Declan only has seven days to win back the love of his life. There's just one problem: His family is counting on him to pull this wedding off at Barclay Manor.
With just one week until vows are exchanged, Declan must decide—stay silent and lose Colin for good, or risk everything and ask the one who got away to promise him forever.

Worth the credit

Great narration and story. Loved the ride excited about the next book. This truly was a great friends to lover’s to heartbreak to happy ending.

Be still my heart

Loved the characters, their romance had a lot of angst, but worth it in the end.

I love you Sara Cate

Cute and hot! A great story. Sara had never disappointed me. Can’t wait for the next book.

I liked this one, was more emotional than previous one

This book really made me super sad at times, not the bad kind of sad but an aching type of pain. The characters love each other but oooh they are young and still figuring themselves out and healing some internal turmoil. It was beautifully written. I feel like she is getting better and better. Her books has real depth now which makes me so invested, i love the characters development and the real life drama they move through in a not too much way, cause too much drama is yuk. This was the perfect balance 🤩

MM friends-to-lovers romance

The back and forth timelines were kind of confusing, especially when predominantly listening to the audiobook. It took me a while to understand that once a time period was introduced, it stayed that way until otherwise noted. I wish that this was more clear at the start of each chapter with dates.

I enjoyed broody Declan but really didn't understand why Colin was marrying Pierce...like, it just felt so out of character and a non-sensical plot point. I adored the second chance redemption and the "I don't want to be your f-ing friend" absolutely shattered me. The spice felt pretty tame for Sara Cate and I wish there was more...

I do plan to continue on in this series though because I need to know the other siblings' love stories!
