REVIEW: Crossing Promises by Kimberly Kincaid

I have loved the Cross Creek Series since book 1 and Crossing Promises by Kimberly Kincaid is a wonderful addition to this amazing series.. There have been twists and turns along with way for the Cross family, but what a ride they have been on. If you have not read the other books in the series, that is ok, each book can be read stand alone, but i would suggest reading the books in order so that you understand the dynamic of the famiy. This is the story of Cate and Owen.

Owen Cross is the oldest of the Cross brother, the one who will carry on the family legacy of farm and family. He loves nothing more that to farm, raise cattle, and work in the greenhouse. Farm and family are everything to Owen, and he would not trade that in for anything. The one thing that he struggles with is the bookkeeping, he needs to hire someone and fast. When Cate McAllister offers to help him out, he jumps at the chance. But being so close the sexy, widow might be his downfall.

Cate McAllister lost her husband and daughter in a car accident more than 3 years ago. Left with a mountain of debit and mountain of guilt, Cate is tired of being looked at with pity and sadness. She wants to be treated like a normal person. When she jumps at the chance to work for Owen Cross, she is surprised that he takes her up on the offer. The problem, she has the hots for him, and that could make that relationship phobic Cate run for the hills.

As Cate and Owen give into the attraction that is sparking around them, what starts as a no strings thing turns into something far more. But when Owen pushes for everything from Cate, and Cate drops a bombshell confession, Owen will need to decide for himself, what he really wants, and in his head and heart, what farm and family really mean to him.

I love how Owen and Cate open up to each other. I love that Owen is patient with Cate, allowing her to voice her fears and open up about her past. I love how Cate sees Owen for who is really is. I love that Owen and Cate encourage and support each other, and in the end, they get the greatest gift of all, a love that will sustain them through the years ahead. An amazing addition to this amazing series.

For Owen Cross, the only thing that matters more than family is farming. As the oldest Cross brother, the land is his legacy, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make Cross Creek a success—including hiring local widow Cate McAllister to manage the bookkeeping tasks that are growing in his office like weeds. Cate’s as pragmatic as she is pretty, and she rattles his hard-fought composure at every turn.

Cate had known a lot of things about her husband before he died three years ago in a car accident, but how much debt he’d gotten them into wasn’t one of them. She needs her job at Cross Creek, even if her boss is both gruff and gorgeous. But Owen’s a family man, through and through, and the last thing Cate is interested in is anything—or anyone—with strings attached.

As Owen and Cate join forces to right the farm, they discover there’s more to the other than the surfaces shows, and that passion can be found in unexpected places. Can Cate heal from the loss of one family to gain the love of her life? Or will the past prove too much for the promise of the future?
