The Promise of Rayne

Written by Nicole Deese

Narrated by Kathleen McInerney

Rayne Shelby has spent her entire life trying to earn the approval of her high-powered family, with the hope of one day managing her late grandfather’s prestigious Idaho lodge. But when she makes a mistake that puts her future in jeopardy, she faces an impossible choice: defy her family or deny her dream. The only way to fix the mess she’s created is to enlist the help of her neighbor, Levi, the apprentice of her family’s greatest enemy. And if Rayne gets caught crossing the divided property lines, the consequences will be irreparable.

Levi Harding has never forgotten the August night he shared with Rayne when they were teens—or the way she later rejected him. Despite his warring instincts, he can’t ignore her plea for help or the spark that’s ignited between them. But now, as wildfires bear down on their town and family secrets are revealed, their newfound alliance might just go up in smoke.

Reviews for The Promise of Rayne

[TAMMY OBERLIN · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was my favourite out of all the books I’ve read by Nicole Deese thus far. It had romance, mystery, intrigue, philanthropy, and more. I’m hoping there is a book after this one and I’m going to look for it.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was quite good.

This was a very intriguing story! I can’t wait to experience another one of her books!

[Ann Bush · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked the story - very Romeo and Juliet. It was interesting that it involved a fire storm. I don't know if the story was just badly edited, but a large part of chapter 24 was repeated.

Absolutely enjoyed following this book along!! I listen to audiobooks while cleaning houses and I didn’t want to turn this one off

I enjoyed this story very much but it's been a couple days since I finished reading it and I've already forgotten most of the details. There was definitely a Romeo and Juliet vibe going on but without the tragic ending. Levi and Rayne were likable enough but theirs wasn't the kind of earth shattering love that breaks your heart and wrecks your emotions. I enjoyed the story while I was reading but it was easily forgettable.
