I've been an avid reader my entire life, but I just recently joined the writing world when I decided to try my hand at a romance novel. I am currently writing the eighth book in my series and I've found that I love writing as much as I love reading. I hope you enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them.

Quite interesting. Become rather routine towards the end though.

Broken Promises is the first book in the CPS series by Christy Wilson. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down once you start it. In this book, we meet Sadey, a dedicated social worker, who buries herself in her job and wants to make a difference in all of the families she investigates. In her newest case, she meets a little girl whose story hits way to close to home for her. She soon finds herself the target of a drug dealer who is not thrilled that she is sticking her nose into his business. Her best friend, her husband, and his brother, Chase, all try to help keep her safe. Chase feels drawn to protect her and this leads to feelings that neither one of them were expecting. This story has lots of action, twists, and turns. As soon as Sadey thinks she is in the clear, something else happens that changes the trajectory of her story. This book is great to read in an afternoon and has a little bit of everything thrown in their to keep it exciting!

This wasn’t the book for me. I enjoyed the characters but had a hard time staying engaged in the story.
