From the Back Cover

Metal shop worker Sarelle "Sar" McGarran is the ultimate tomboy and considers herself capable of handling whatever life throws her way. Recently widowed, she takes refuge in quiet country life until the day she stumbles upon an unconscious vampire on her property. Unable to leave the wounded man, she takes him in.
 Danial Racklan is a sexy bad boy with a complicated past and questionable motives. Yet before long, he has Sar completely captivated. He introduces her to his secret, supernatural world, in the process reawakening emotions and desires she hasn't felt since her husband's tragic death. Soon Sar finds herself drawn into a dark, dangerous reality in which her desire for Danial is second only to her wariness that he may break her heart. Yet Sar must soon face there is much Danial has kept from her, even as she begins to love him. When Danial asks her for an Oath of forever, will Sar give Danial his greatest desire?
 
When your lover is a vampire, a promise of forever takes on a whole new meaning...

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, Captivating and Utterly Dangerous May 30, 2012

By jennytwist

Format:Kindle Edition

Danial, Tara Fox Hall's vampire hero, is every girl's dream lover. Despite being centuries old, he has never lost his human qualities, and Sarelle, recently widowed, is completely enthralled by his charms.
The story opens when Sarelle finds him, badly injured and at the point of death, lying near her house. She is unable to resist helping any wounded creature, so she hides him and nurses him back to life. But loving a vampire is not easy. Danial makes demands upon her that go far beyond those of a human lover. Living with him exposes her to enormous dangers. If she commits to him the rest of her life will be lived on a knife-edge. If she gives him her oath there is no going back. A vampire oath is forever.
This is a very exciting story. The pace never falters and the suspense holds right to the end. A difficult book to put down and one which has you thinking about it long after you finish reading it.
'Promise Me' is the best vampire novel I have ever read. I sincerely hope it is the first of a series because I am already addicted.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start To This Series March 28, 2013

By Douglas C. Meeks TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

First of all I should mention the entire series with some very minor exceptions, is from Sar's point of view so if she does not know it, we do not know it.

This series starts with a bit of action as Danial Racklan becomes the target for a hunter who wants him dead for reasons Danial does not even realize and when he ends up collapsing behind Sar's home she brings him in and even though she realizes that he must be a vampire from his teeth she decides to give him blood to save his life (mainly because she finds him so desirable and she actually has a soft heart).

The story evolves into a romance from there with multilayered plots that unfold as the reader goes along in the series, many if not most are quite surprising and add to the enjoyment of the reader.

The only danger of this type of writing is that the reader can become a bit fatigued from constant stress of the life of Sar, who seems to attract angst and tragedy at every turn. I should mention that I read all three novels in 2-3 days back to back so that might not be something that would affect everyone and though stressful at time it is not depressing as many of this type tend to be..

The turning tides of the romance in this novel can be a bit confusing and Sar is continually trying to do the "right thing" but it seems to bring her as much heartbreak and sadness as it does brief periods of happiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good read March 24, 2013

By Brenda Barry (Redding CA)

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

From the very beginning to the very end I loved this book. I have to admit him being a vampire surprised me and she was not very afraid of him. Brave lady.. But I loved the whole concept. I just wanted to know his thoughts more and hope very much that there will be another book to this one. I just loved the interactions between the two of them. I don't want to give much away but there were some great lines and humor. I highly recommend you to read this book and I do hope a book two will come out. :-)
