Jared's Promise

Jared’s Promise by Barbara McMahon. This is Jared Montgomery and Jenny Stratford’s story.

Jared and Jenny’s characters are dealing with some really tough emotional issues and situations. Jenny has been hired to care for Jared’s friend’s orphaned baby. There is definitely an attraction between the two. Jenny wants love, romance, and a family but Jared never wants to marry again. Will these two break down their barriers and take a chance on love?

I loved Jared and Jenny’s characters but there were timed I wanted to knock some sense into Jared. Jared’s neighborhood, Mrs. Giraux was a great addition to the story. The ending pulled everything together.

This story bought to my attention how important it is that we watch what we say. We may get into the habit of complaining about something and really don’t mean it the way it comes across. We don’t realize the effect that could have on others.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

JARED’S. PROMISE By Barbara McMahon
Jared barely escaped death ten days ago, thinking these steps to his apartment would kill him. His sister hired someone to watch the baby. A friend who was in bind, now dead, as girlfriend was, that’s how his name ended up on the birth certificate, so his wife and family in states wouldn’t know. Jenny needed a job for the summer, and New Orleans sounded perfect. She came from an orphanage, and wanted to make a home for the baby. He was meeting his lawyer, to find a home as soon as possible for the baby. Could he do this for his best friend, and what about Jenny. The smiles from the baby and Jenny were melting his heart. Choices, for the three were to be made, making this a delightful story, as Barbara’s always are. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
