About Promise
Amelia is an only child. Her father is THE Vinnie Gallo who used to play professional football. She is his little princess. She has always wanted a little brother or sister, but it was not meant to be. She decided years ago that she wanted to have more than one child, since she knows the downfalls of being an only child. She is close to all of her Gallo cousins and enjoys going to family dinners at the family bar.
Reed is one of six children born to his parents. There are three girls and three boys. Perfect mix. He has always wanted a big family just like his. He has grown up on a ranch his entire life and has never wanted to leave it. He loves his family, but keeping secrets in it is not always easy. Everyone is in everyone’s business.
Amelia and two of her girlfriends take a quick trip to Vegas. Reed and two of his guy friends also take a quick trip to Vegas. What are the chances these two meet?
Well lucky for Amelia, her friend Cassie hooks up with one of Reed’s friends. Then her other friend hooks up with Reed’s other friend. That leaves her and Reed as a pair. They decide to have a drinking contest. Yeah, how do you think that turned out?
The next day, the girls are hanging out at the pool, recuperating from the night before. They guys show up in their cabana. Everybody pairs off and heads out leaving Amelia and Reed in the cabana together. Reed is surprised the girls have a cabana, but he has no idea who Amelia is.
Later that night, everyone meets up at a nightclub and the drinking commences again. Only this time, Amelia and Reed will not just have a hangover from the night.
Everyone flies home, after a rough start to the morning. Amelia is in denial and waiting on Reed to take care of everything, since his brother is a lawyer. But it is not quite that easy. Especially when circumstances change. What happens in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas.
When Reed comes to Chicago to deliver the papers to Amelia for signature, she has to tell him. When he finds out, things change for him. Everything is put on hold. He flies home to South Dakota and tells his parents what is going on. They take it remarkably well and even tell him they knew it was just a matter of time before he left.
Next thing Amelia knows, Reed is her next door neighbor, her security guard, and her cowboy to ride whenever she has the need, which is all the time. He rubs her feet for her. Makes sure she eats. And her family seems to truly adore him.
But will Reed be able to win over Amelia? Or will she send him packing?
Impressions
I love Amelia. She reminds me so much of me growing up. Being an only child is hard. Yes you have cousins, but it is not the same as having a sibling. You have to entertain yourself. You cannot screw up because there is no on else who could screw up worse than you. But you become strong, determined and self sufficient. And that is exactly what Amelia is.
Reed is determined to win Amelia over. He does everything to support her. And he is a bonafide cowboy. Save a horse, ride a cowboy, girl!!! Especially since he is so into you he cannot see anyone else. Yeah, it may have been a fling, but he is all in.
I did have to laugh at Amelia when she and Reed were talking about how many kids they wanted. She said she wanted two or three. He said he wanted six, like his parents. I thought she was going to pass out. Yeah, I get it girl. Hard to imagine six kids after being an only child.
Narration
Jason Clarke is always a dream to listen to, but his cowboy-ness is the best. Samantha Brentmoor is at the top of favorite female narrators and this story proves why. She handles so many female voices in this story with all of the cousins and Amelia’s mom and gram, plus Reed’s mom. Way to go you two.
