Tanner's Promise

The Harlow Brothers, Book 1

By: Kaylie Newell

Narrated by: Rebecca Gibel

Tanner Harlow is a talented landscape designer, quietly building a name and a solid future when he finds himself needing to be the temporary guardian to his 11-year-old half-sister. Tanner loves her, but he can't see himself as a father figure or imagine how he's going to build his business during his busiest season with a child in tow. But his newest client - his high-school crush, who still makes his heart pound - has a proposition that will help them both, as long as Tanner can resist the tempting lure of the girl next door.

Elementary school teacher Francie Tate moved back to Marietta to be close to her ailing father. She plans to settle in and fix up her little bungalow before the school year starts, but she definitely needs help with the neglected yard. She's shocked when the landscaper she hired turns out to be a classmate. Tanner used to be shy in school, but he isn't the same kid anymore - he's tall, sexy, and has the most striking brown eyes she's ever seen. When Francie learns of Tanner's need for child care, she impulsively offers to watch his half-sister for the summer in return for some landscaping and renovations around the house.

It seems like a win-win, but Francie didn't bargain on falling in love.

Slow

There is not much to this book. It is quite boring with very little substance to it. There is not really anything wrong, just seems like a very immaturely written book. Personally I would not recommend it.

4 stars

I liked it but I didn't love it. It just seemed to drag a little but I'd definitely recommend listening to it though. I really liked the especially her voice for the 11/12 yr old sister Maddie. Dual povs but I really wish authors would use a male and female narrator.

Absolutely loved this book

what a wonderful book! The characters are loveable. The storyline is great. No cheating. No back story of the H sleeping with every woman that he comes in contact with. The h is not a virgin at 26. Just an all around great story. I can't wait to read the next two books.

Compassion & Love

This book was really sweet. Tanner is trying to do his best and help raise his little sister after their mother dies. This is sort of second chance since he falls for a classmate from high school. A lot of turmoil is brought up from the past to shed light on our main characters.

Short and sweet

This book was a sweet, feel good story. Listened to it working one day and it is light and happy. Glad I listened to it.

All the feels

Super fun, light, quick romance that will melt your heart. Perfect quick read for cozying up with. Great narration.

Cute

A sweet, charming, heartfelt and beautiful romance. I enjoyed and adored this story. Narration was fantastic.

A prettyGood good book

I enjoyed this read and I would recommend it to mature adults due to language and sex scenes. The story was quite enjoyable. I will probably end up reading more in the series as well.

Need a booster shot of HOPE, this is it

Great story, reminiscent of the great Carolyn Brown. I will be listening more from this author. Great find. I slowed the timing on the narrator and liked it more.

Enjoyed this story.

What's with all the cuss words? Really limiting her audience. Won't read another. So sad.
