Month: July 2014

Video Trailer: Burnt Promises

Burnt PromisesBrooklyn Rosen had high moral principles and was raised properly. Married for over fifteen years, those standards went out the window along with her fidelity when she met Bo. After becoming a self-proclaimed home wrecker, Brooklyn left behind her marital home, along with the damage caused by her emotional wrecking ball. But the whispered remarks followed.

In “Burnt Promises” (Brooklyn and Bo Chronicles: Book Two) we learn what shaped Brooklyn, the trials of an unhappy marriage and a deep abiding love that would not be denied. We meet a troubled, spiteful wife, who does not want to become an “ex”. Will Brooklyn and Bo survive, or will all be lost to a bitter woman?

Burnt Promises, the contemporary romance by Brenda Perlin, is available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.

Don’t forget, you can cast your vote for trailer of the month on July 26, 2014 at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
