Katia's Promise
(Shores of Indian Lake #4)
by Catherine Lanigan
Adult Contemporary Romance
May 1st 2015 by Harlequin Heartwarming
Katia Stanislaus is a top insurance agent in Chicago, but her company is about to fold if she can't pull off a miracle. She convinces her boss to relocate to Indian Lake where she lived as a child and broke the heart of the one man whose account would be enough to save her job and her company. The only problem is that Austin McCreary has been a near recluse since the day Katia left him. Austin won't take her calls and appears set on revenge for the pain Katia has caused him. Just seeing Austin, catapaults Katia back to the time when she was 16 and so very much in love. But it was just a teenage crush, wasn't it?
I will admit that I haven't read the previous books in this series. Katia's Promise is the fourth book in this Shores of Indian Lake series but each book can stand alone and is not dependent on the others. Although, the couples from the previous books were in this book and I could tell that they would have meant more to me if I had read the books in order.
Katia and Austin have a past. Things didn't end well between them. Well, actually, they didn't even end. Things just dropped off abruptly and there was no closure which left many unanswered questions. That left two people with a lot of baggage to work through when they connected again.
I always enjoy the Harlequin Heartwarming line because I know I am going to get a sweet, clean romance. This was a gentle romance to settle in with. Austin and Katia go around and around and around before finally figuring things out in the very end. Austin and Katia need each other and they are good for each other. Knowing that the whole book while they tried to battle their demons was a bit like torture! haha. I found myself becoming a bit impatient with them, but all's well that ends well. :)
This is a clean romance with no content to disclose. (yay!!) I will be keeping this author and the rest of the books in this series in my sights for future reading!
