Promise You the Moon by Lindsay Rochester: Book Review

The Book

Hunter Dawson left town nearly a decade ago with two goals: serve his country and get over Ellie James.

He accomplished exactly one of them.

Now he’s back in Starlight Valley—and Ellie is the one thing he never managed to leave behind.

Ellie James never imagined she’d be back at her parents’ house—pregnant, overwhelmed, and recovering from an abusive marriage. The last thing she expects is for Hunter—the boy who always made her feel safe—to walk back into her life.

When Ellie is in need of protection, Hunter is willing to do just about anything to provide it. A marriage of convenience seems like the perfect solution.

Publicly, they’re the ideal couple. But privately? It’s getting harder to remember where the act ends and the truth begins.

Promise You the Moon is a clean marriage-of-convenience romance set in the charming mountain town of Starlight Valley, featuring longtime pining, small-town charm, swoony kisses, and just enough danger to keep things interesting–but not too much to keep you up at night.

Book Review

Oh my goodness, this story! To be honest, I haven't read too many books with the 'pregnant, but not his baby' trope in the past, but let me tell you, this one has me fully convinced that it is one I would like to see more of. Pregnancy can be such a vulnerable time so blending that with a touch of danger and a protective military MMC, who is genuinely so in love with not only her but this baby that's not biologically his... it just added another level of tenderness that couldn't get enough of. Seriously, Hunter was a walking green flag, and I just loved the way he was with Ellie. We were given little glimpses of their history together, which only made me root for their happily ever after that much more. There was pining and tenderness... and just the right amount of danger to keep things interesting... and I truly loved it all. This one has me very much looking forward to what will happen next in this series... I can't wait. 

Promise You the Moon is a closed-door romance with kisses only, minor innuendo and no language. It is the first book in the Love in Starlight Valley, though there is also a connected prequel novella. It can still be enjoyed as a standalone.
