Oh my!!! What a beautiful beginning!!! I love the setup of Drew and Skylar's story and I am so looking forward to reading the rest of their story. Sky and Drew are so very different. She not only loves Christmas, she completely believes in the magic of the season. Whereas Drew can't even bring himself to say the words Merry Christmas, he so completely doesn't believe. I just know that the rest of this story will be just as fantastic as every other book I have read by this author!!!!

This is part one of a two part series telling Drew and Skylar's story. In this part Skylar is 18 to Drew's 21. Skylar has been in love with Drew forever but Drew has put her in the off limits zone until she's 21. On her way home for the holidays Skylar makes an unexpected stop in Vegas and ends up on Drew's doorstep. The attraction between these two is off the charts but he's determined to make sure nothing will happen between them for another 3 years so they come up with a plan..... This is a very well done story and I can't wait to read how everything turns out. I recommend this one.

Whenever I pick up a Violet Dike book it is like enjoying time with an old quirky friend that always makes me laugh. Do note that this novella ends in a cliffhanger and the second part will be released Valentine's 2017. If you are looking for a quick light read, with all the good feelings of Christmas, I'd book this book at the top of my list. -Spoilers below- At first I wondered if the main man,Drew, would be "alpha" enough for my tasks in romance novels, but I enjoyed getting to know his soft side first. And, there is a hallway scene that is absolutely steamy, while still managing to be innocent. This section of the novella alone gets 5 stars! I did submit a request to the publisher to read and voluntarily and honestly review an I corrected advance reader's copy of this book.

Before That Promise: Drew and Skylar by Violet Duke is book one of two in the Unfinished Love series. Skylar Sullivan has been attracted to Drew Lawson since she started working at his brother’s security office. Drew sees Skylar as the girl of his dreams but has declared her off-limits for the time being. Skylar’s flight home happened to be grounded in the same town where Drew is working. Between a hotel mix up, a giant secret hanging over their heads, and a little holiday road trip, these two help each other rediscover memories from their pasts that were important and start making new ones to look forward to remembering in the years to come. This was a fun and entertaining story with loveable characters that you want to support and cheer on hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written, authentic and complex. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I genuinely enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book to other readers.
