Nora's Promise

Author: Sedona Hutton

Genre: Romance 

BLURB

She trusts animals more than men. He runs through women like tires. Will an orphaned child force them to change gears?

With her sister’s death, Nora’s life changed in an instant. Forced to raise her orphaned nephew, the animal rescuer doesn’t expect to be dumped and fired by her kid-hating boyfriend/boss. After her own close call and a message from beyond, Nora introduces the little boy to his handsome, fast-living absentee father.

Davey Johnson is a hot-shot NASCAR driver who never wanted to be slowed down by fatherhood. But when he finds out he has a nine-year-old son, he vows to be a better father than his old man. When his first efforts fail in a big way, he enlists Nora’s parenting help. But what starts as a chore transforms into something way hotter than a final lap.

When Davey’s sponsors clash with Nora’s vegan ways, he’s forced to choose between his passion for racing and his love of Nora. Will they be able to blend their lives or will their romance run right off the track?

MY REVIEW 

3.5 Stars

Nora’s Promise by Sedona Hutton is a slow burn romance about enjoying life as it comes even when it has thrown a curveball and to remember for every door that closes, another will open.

Davey Johnson is on top of the world. He is a nascar driver at the pinnacle of his career and has any number gorgeous women to choose from, he just needs to say the word.

Nora has just buried her sister, had her boyfriend break up with her and lost her job all in the same day. Not to mention she now has custody of her nephew. When she finds Davey to let him know he is a father, there is an instant attraction but their lives are polar opposites.

Living the fast life, will Davey be able to change gears and slow down once he meets Nora and the son he knew nothing about? Or will he crash and burn and lose everything he never knew he wanted?

An interesting story of life, love, family and forgiveness with a little help along the way from unexpected places.

I loved Nora’s sass and how she stood up for herself and her beliefs. It is enviable. At the same time however, I couldn’t help but feel that she was just a little bit prejudiced when it came to those who didn’t practice the same beliefs she did.

Davey had a lot to learn and although he was stubborn, his growth seemed natural. I love how he was willing to adapt and roll with the punches when it comes to Nora’s and Ben’s beliefs.

Overall an intriguing read. I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

EXCERPT 

Five minutes later, Davey arrived. He quickly spotted her, but spent the next little while signing napkins, papers, and a ballcap as he made his way toward her. With each interruption, Nora’s jaw clenched. By the time he slid into the seat across from her, she was simmering with irritation.

“Glad you could finally make it,” she said, her voice heavy with sarcasm.

He raised a single brow and nodded at her mug. “Haven’t had enough caffeine this morning?”

When Davey turned to look for the waitress, she shot over faster than Nora could blink.

Nora rolled her eyes while Davey laid on the charm. She had to admit he was good-looking. That is if you liked the sun-kissed blond, blue-eyed, tall, lean look. And apparently, the waitress did. As Davey signed her order pad, she hung on his every word. She told him that he’d had a great season and that she had cried after he’d wrecked in some race.

Cried? Seriously? It was a race, not a matter of life and death. Finally, she took Davey’s order for a cup of coffee. When she started to walk away, Davey touched her arm and the woman turned back. Her eyes sparkled and her face flushed as she glanced back and forth between Davey’s hand on her arm and his face. “Amber, could you also bring Nora—” he nodded in her direction “—another tea?” His lips ticked up into an obnoxious grin. “She seems to be a little short on caffeine this morning.”

After Amber pulled herself together and made her way toward the kitchen, Nora pinned a look on Davey. “It must be exhausting to be you.”
