Book Description

Sarah Edwards loves stability, but now finds life has other plans for her. Divorced, bored, and twitchy, she’s convinced her impulsive, sometimes irrational decisions are the sign of a mid-life crisis, and the contradictory actions and emotions are giving her family and friends mental whiplash. Her abrupt resignation from her job is the final straw. But a two-week trip to England seems the perfect pick-me-up for this Anglophile and Austenite.

Enter Alex Fraser, a.k.a. the Earl of Rutherford, who although a member of the lucky sperm club, prefers to be known for what he’s accomplished, rather than a fate of birth. Despite his family’s disapproval, he is determined to work in his chosen profession of acting. He’s always preferred casual flings with beautiful women who have no illusions of marriage. That is until he literally bumps into Sarah in an Oxford pub.

Despite an idyllic week together, Sarah gets cold feet and returns to the States determined to come back down to reality. A year later, the realization of Sarah’s life-long dream unexpectedly brings Alex back into her life, in what she believes is an ironic twist of fate. Will Sarah’s decisions leave her life in shambles, or will they lead to the promise of change?

Review

"The novel is riveted with allusions to Austen and readers will see a plot unfold that is not unlike a storyline from Austen; some pride, a little deception and plenty of romance fill these pages, making the novel a fun read." -- INsite magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Read March 5, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I began reading the first couple of pages, I wondered if I wanted to read the whole book. Then I was hooked. I stayed up well into the wee hours to finish it.

Rebecca's characters were very human and like-able. Her transitions from setting to setting were smooth. There was not too much boring description of food served or clothing worn. Her love scenes were tasteful, just enough suggestion and very little graphic description. The storyline was perfect.

A very good first book and I will anxiously await the next one. Thank you, Rebecca, for a wonderful escape. I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little romance January 5, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A Promise of Change was a very enjoyable read. Rebecca Heflin has developed great characters, the pacing is perfect and the story line is captivating. I stayed up way too late reading it, and then when I finished it I didn't want it to end. A romance, yes, but a cut above the usual. Can't wait for her next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading January 1, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
"The Promise of Change," is a captivating novel. The author unfolds each character until you feel you personally know them. As each chapter closes you want to discover what is in store for the next one. This book is fun to read and hard to put down. Rebecca Heflin may be new but she is very talented and I look forward to her next novel.

It was not as an outrageous story as most contemporary romance novels tend to be. Although there are parts that require a bit of a stretch of your imagination, it is fiction. Read more
