Product Description

Three siblings estranged by secrets...reunited by love.

Lord Lambeth is uncharacteristically captivated by Marianne Cotterwood, even though she's off-limits and keeping secrets. Determined to unravel her mystery, he keeps close watch.

Alone in the world, Marianne wishes she could remember her life before the orphanage. The only "family" she has is a warmly eccentric bunch of pickpockets and thieves. Marianne's inborn grace makes her a natural at mingling among the wealthy while looking for valuables, but then Lord Lambeth catches her in the act....

Yet someone else is interested in Marianne's secrets, as well. A dangerous shadow from her past is closing in, and Lord Lambeth is the only man she can turn to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as good as Book #1...., September 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Promise Me Tomorrow (Mira) (Mass Market Paperback)

The basic plotline of these books is great: 3 siblings go missing after their parents are killed in France. When they are adults, their grandmother begins a search for them and each one's story is a book in this trilogy. The first book about the youngest child, Alexandra, was excellent. She was a fabulous heroine who gave the hero, Thorpe, a run for his money. Promise Me Tomorrow was not nearly as intriguing but it did have its good points: the storyline was excellent, the pace was very fast, in fact, it was a page turner. But the characters were a little flat and not developed enough even though they were very likable.There was good chemistry between hero Justin and heroine Marianne and the romance scenes were hot! But this story just didn't have the depth achieved in the first one. Ms. Camp has given us a preview of Book #3 at the end of this one, which will of course feature sibling number three, John. He already made a brief appearance in this book (near the end). See if you can guess which one he was. And it looks like his love interest will be the ever-likable Nicola, who appeared in this book and the first one. I'll be looking forward to reading the next book because this one just wasn't up to snuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, July 21, 2000

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Promise Me Tomorrow (Mira) (Mass Market Paperback)

Marianne Cotterwood loathes the aristocracy because of their arrogant way they look down at the masses. Having grown up at an orphan factory, she knows first hand what the pats on the head with the haughty look means. To assist the elite with their alms to the poor, Marianne steals their valueables.

Marianne's occupation is interrupted when Lord Justin Lambeth discovers her trying to rob Lord Batterslee. Instead of turning her in, Justin offers her an opportunity to become his mistress. Outraged by his conceit, Marianne vows to destroy her "benefactor." As the duo plays a game of cat and mouse, they fall in love. However, she is from the wrong side of the tracks (or is she) and neither one trusts the other.

PROMISE ME TOMORROW is an entertaining historical romance that will thrill readers with its battle of the sexes theme. The story line is a lighthearted romp that focuses on the chess match between Justin and Marianne although the tale contains a serious subplot involving the relationship between the wealthy and the poor. The two lead characters are charming and intrepid while the secondary cast provides depth to their war. Candace Camp has written an amusing tale that will please her myriad of fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Promise Me Tomorrow, July 5, 2001

By	geekeagle "book lover" (Montreal, QC CAnada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Promise Me Tomorrow (Mira) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the second book of a 3-book series. The first one is "A stolen heart" and the third book is "No other love". The characters of her books are vividly written and seemingly alive. I have read all three and this book is just incredible. The story of the series is about three brother and sisters who were separated since they were young. Will they find each other? Read the whole series and find out for yourself.
