The Promise by Donna Boyd

When I started The Promise, Donna Boyd’s sequel to her Desert Isle Keeper The Passion, I figured I was in for another exceptional read. I am very happy to report that I was not disappointed!

The Passion by Donna Boyd

If you demand a book that neatly ends with everyone living happily ever don’t waste your time by reading any more of this review. If, however, you’re in the mood to take a walk on the darker side of fiction please read on because do I ever have a great book for you! The Passion…

Kate MacGillvray and Alec Lachlan, both doctors, meet…
