100 Promises, Why it’s Your Next Read

From dirt bikes to monsoons, rafting trips down the Colorado River and days rope swinging at the creek, 100 Promises creates and idyllic desert escape that is a must add to your summer reading list!

Picking your next beach read can be so…. beachy. And don’t get us wrong, we’re all for a summertime crush or a beachside fling, we’re just sick of the same five beach towns being featured in every romance novel. That’s why 100 Promises sparked our interest.

With plenty of the same summer hits: like bonfires and fireworks, beach parties and boat rides, 100 Promises plays to all the best motifs of the genre. But with an added element of high-desert culture: monsoons and dirt bikes, country dive bars and rodeos, it has a lot more going for it than just sand… it has red rocks for goodness sake!

And in the eternal (paraphrased) words of Carrie Underwood, “don’t buy a fruity little drink because you can’t shoot a whisky.” For a small town country romance that still does summer right, there’s no better option than 100 Promises.

Still need more convincing? Read the synopsis:

Hiding in her ex’s truck, that’s the last place anyone would hope to see Sydney on her wedding day… but it’s the first place they’ll look. Luckily Clayton’s the one to find her. He’s always been the one to find her. And while he’s not exactly happy to see her, he’s also not that mad about it.

But as the two trade off memories of their past, they realize that time’s not the only thing they’ve wasted in the high Arizona desert. Now this runaway bride and her childhood sweetheart have to decide if theirs is a first love worth chasing back after, or if it’s something better left in the dust of his old red dirt town.
