She's waiting for her prince to come ... but was he right beside her all the time? Kristina Rose Maher wants to know why fairytales never happen for fat girls. Certain that diner cook Jeff, handsome and fit, will never want her as more than a friend, she stuffs down her attraction to him. But when she finds herself facing a life-altering weight loss surgery, she discovers she's willing to do whatever it takes to embrace life--and love--to the fullest. Jeffrey Berkley can't bear the thought of losing the friend he's only just beginning to realize matters so much to him... no matter what size she is. But he is also terrified that helping her reach for her dreams will also mean finally reaching for his own--and letting down his family's legacy in the process. Both Kristina Rose and Jeffrey must learn to love themselves before they can find a way to make a promise to each other. Will they finally be able to lay their heavy burdens at the Lord's feet, and trust him to bring the happily-ever-after they both crave? Don't miss this sweet tale of faith, love, and gastric bypass!… (plus d'informations)

This is a very sweet romance but it is also so much more! Main characters are dealing with major issues of body image, family expectations, diabetes, responsibilities of friendship. You know from reading this that the author has experienced some of these herself, especially gastric bypass, as they are very realistic! I love Kristina Rose, the main character, who decides to have gastric bypass due to health issues. She is very engaging and you can't help but like her. There are some great supporting characters too so you just know that the rest of the books in this series are going to be good too. Can't wait to read more about some of the other people. Really good read!

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

When you can see pieces of yourself within a story, you know that you've found something special. Ms. Storm spoke from the heart with Love's Promise. Kristin and Jeffrey could be any of us. The wounds run deep and the insecurities are at times hard to bear, but the message of hope and solidarity adds to the power and integrity of an uplifting journey. We all need a little help, that voice of encouragement to inspire us to push through and never give up. Love's Promise is that voice. ( )

Love’s Promise is a wonderful book about real life. I believe that’s what makes this so special. It’s not a book about a young, thin beautiful woman who has everything and falls in love with a prince. This is more real life with a woman over weight, not too happy with life and yet she decides to do something for herself and comes out a real winner. The main character, Kristina Rose, decides to have gastric bypass surgery. As she is going through the healing process many things start to become clear to her. She realizes her best friend, Jeffrey, is more than a friend. Her mother who she has little use for shows up and they still have issues.

This is a very good Christian book about real life. Author Melissa Strom writes from her heart and you can tell when you real this book. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher for review purposes. ( )
