Saying “I Promise” is the easiest thing to do, its just two tiny words.
No one warned me of the weight they hold, that they not only have the power
to make something, to give hope, or show devotion.
They can destroy everything, cause so much hurt, ruin lives.
Every promise holds a toll, if I had known what mine would cost me,
I would have walked away.
Now I have to pay the price, watch the consequences of my actions unfold. Witnessing someone I love crumble after breaking my oath
isn’t the hardest thing I’ve endured,
it's being forgotten by the one person that I could never forget.

Forgotten Promises is a captivating and heartbreaking read that will surely move you emotionally. I found myself yet again caught up in Blaire and Ethan's journey. I must say that Elle Brooks has some serious writing skills. Forgotten Promises is flawless and holds you captive. The story continues to explore tough topics and situations. But what I loved was that it's also funny and wity.
Forgotten Promises is book #2 in the Promises series and should be read only after completing Promises Hurt (Promises #1). Since Promises Hurt ended in a cliffhanger, Forgotten Promises picked up right where the first book ended. I was quite apprehensive and excited about continuing this story. Mainly because my heart is still in recovery mode. I knew this would be a roller coaster ride.
If you thought the first book was emotional then prepare yourself! I totally adore Blaire and Ethan. Their journey is heart-wrenching. These two young people have to deal with so many emotional issues. But the way they endure it together is touching. Although the life around them is pure chaos at times, the love and affection for each other is what keeps them going.
This continues to be a highly emotional read that leaves a weight on your chest. You will cry tears of hurt for Ethan and his pain, but also cry tears of happiness. It's an empowering story of survival, trust, love and healing. Elle Brooks is definitely on my list of go to authors. I love her writing. It's makes me feel and crave for more.
I wasn't planning on falling for Ethan Jamison, hell I wasn't planning on our paths ever crossing. He’s the most popular guy at school and a complete player. Me; I’m the perpetual good girl, trying to carry out one last request. But when you make a promise, how far do you go to see it through?

It’s a running joke that I’m a terrible liar, if only people knew the truth. My whole life has been spent making excuses and deflecting questions. I was pretty good at it until Blair Thomas entered my world. She saw through the mask that everyone is so willing to accept. She makes me want to tell her all my secrets, but can she promise to keep them?
