Promise me Forever by Debbie Macomber
This story starts out with Joy and she's a physical therapist on private duty. Sloan is in a wheelchair and has lost all purpose to even try to get better.
With the things she does to motivate him it works and she gets him in the pool and even to work with his father and the family business. He still doesn't want to meet with his old friends
because he's changed since they hung out together. Like the seagull and the part that is similar to Sloans and how it relates to each other.
Sad story when she knows it's time for her to leave...
other works by the author are highlighted at the end and an excerpt from another story is included.
Ranieri Andretti by Parker S. Huntington
Book starts out with other listings of the authors works. Authors note and foreword.
Store starts out with Carina and in high school and she has a best friend, til she doesn't any longer because of something that happens at her father's store.
Ranieri has always been there for her until his brother does something that ends it for him and Carina. It's a family feud where he can't tell her why they had to split up til much later in the book.
I don't like that the book goes to the present, then back 20 years then to the present then back 10 years. Wish I had read it in the order it happened.
Liked the twists and turns and thought they'd be more mafia things occurring.
