REVIEW - Deep River Promise (Alaska Homecoming #2) by Jackie Ashenden

The Book
Release Date: 30 March 2021

Welcome to Deep River, Alaska

Damon Fitzgerald's only desire is to get back to LA and out of the tiny Alaskan town he's somehow inherited. But first he has to keep a promise he made to his old army buddy and look out for his friend's son. That would be a whole lot easier if the kid's mother wasn't the mayor of Deep River...

Astrid James didn't ask to be mayor of Deep River but since she is, she intends to do right by the town and her son. The last thing she needs is an arrogant outsider coming in and taking charge, no matter how attractive he is. But when Astrid starts to realize that Damon is more than just a pretty face, she'll have to decide whether she can risk her heart and her son's happiness on a man who's mission is to leave Deep River.

My Review.   4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Its always worth picking up a book by this author.  The story telling is always well written, characters are well fleshed out and grow as the story goes on and you get a little bit of spice and a good developing relationship.

Astrid is a single mum of a teenager along with being the town mayor and librarian of a small town called Deep River.  She is a strong person, because life has been hard for her and she has had no choice but to step up and look after herself and her son.

Damon is a military man who is only in Deep River on a promise from a fallen friend.  He two has his scars, but with Astrid, something makes his give them up in order that he can help her, however he longer believes that he is capable of giving someone else the love they would need in a relationship.

Both find something special with each other and they help each other in many ways, however it is not until the end that Damon makes a discovery of his own that changes everything for him.  

I really liked seeing the interconnected characters and their relationships to the main characters and glad that Damon finally figured out what he really wanted.
