THREE BROKEN PROMISES
Monica Murphy

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

New Adult

Monica Murphy returns with THREE BROKEN PROMISES, the third book in the One Week Girlfriend series. Jen's brother, Danny died in Iraq. Since then, Colin has taken care of her by giving her a job at his restaurant. However, he still remains distant even after all he's done for her. At night, Colin relives a nightmare that deals with his guilt surrounding Danny's death. Colin believes that it was his fault, yet Jen is determined to show him that even though she misses her brother greatly, Colin doesn't have to live hating himself.

Tired of his lack of commitment, Jen hopes to move on and make Colin realize that he needs her in his life. But Colin is dead-set on keeping himself away from Jen for as long as it takes for him to tackle his demons head on.

In THREE BROKEN PROMISES, an emotional but very flirty story of grief and guilt, Monica Murphy pens a thrilling love story between two broken souls who are unable to escape the past that connects them. Colin is by far the most complex character in this story. As his nightmares are depicted in Technicolor vibrancy, readers get the sense of his heavy grief and sense of guilt associated with the dreams. The distance that Jen and Colin must cross in order to be together is vast, however the journey is quite entertaining to watch.

Murphy doesn't hold back when it comes to the chemistry either. The sizzling tension is right there, front and center, showing readers what to anticipate when the pieces all fall into place and Colin gets over the hurdle that keeps him away from Jen. THREE BROKEN PROMISES is the perfect combination of sexy passion and a tender heart.

SUMMARY

Breakout sensation Monica Murphy returns with a hot new contemporary romanceβ€”a heartfelt story of second chances, forgiveness, and redemption. Commitment. That’s what I really want from Colin. Ever since my brother, Danny, died in Iraq, Colin’s done so much to help me, including giving me a job at his popular restaurant so I can leave my crappy waitressing job at the strip joint. But lying in bed with him every night to comfort him from his horrible nightmares isn’t enough anymore. I know he feels guilty about Danny’s death, about not going to Iraq, but I can’t keep living this double life. I love him desperately, but he’s got so many demons, and if he can’t open up to me now, then he’ll never be the real partner I need him to be. I gave him a month, and now I’m out of here. If he truly loves me like he says, he knows where to find me.
