Product Description:
Wyoming Territory 1870 Widowed and barren, Jenna sees the newborn left on her doorstep as a priceless gift worthy of any sacrifice. She knows she'll need a husband to keep the baby, but nothing prepares her for the man who offers. Big and dark, simmering with a deadly intensity, Clint McKinnely could put fear into the devil. He certainly strikes fear into her. But Jenna soon discovers that the man behind the reputation is the one man she longs to trust. A hard man burned out by the choices he's made, Clint is looking for a reason to go on. He finds one in Jenna Hennessy. Lushly plump, sweet and shy, she calls to him on every level. When it looks as though Jenna might lose the daughter she loves for lack of a husband, Clint steps forward. Having Jenna in his home brings Clint a peace he's never known, but even as he ferrets out the secrets that haunt Jenna's nightmares, Clint keeps his own close to his chest, knowing this marriage is temporary because there are some sins a man can't expect his wife to forgive.

I was looking forward to reading this book after reading Asa and Elizabeth's story. I just didn't like this book; no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't care about Jenna and what happened to her she was way too whiny and pathetic. I found this book boring and I started to browse through it just be to done with it.

I really looked forward to reading this book and became very disappointed when half way through the book I started to skim read. I felt Jenna was too submissive she became very boring and I found my self wishing she would just shut up. She said I'm sorry on almost every page. There were too many pages written for 1 scene, and I did not feel that Clint and Jenna had the same chemistry that Asa and Elizabeth had or Cougar and Mara from the other Promises books.

this book kept every promise it made about the sizzle in its pages. A cowboy raw with exceptional feelings for his woman and family I was really touched by this story. I give this a yahoo ride-em cowboy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to like Promises Prevail, but I just couldn't connect with the characters. I thought Clint was a jerk (at first anyway) and even though there was a very valid reason why Jenna was submissive, I wasn't able to empathize with her. I skimmed all of the sex scenes and just wanted to know how the resolution of her past was going to be played out. The abuse was hard to read, but the story had a nice ending. However, I don't plan on reading anymore books in the Promises series.

Nice addition to the Promises' series that have come along. Sharp details and interesting character development.
