Loved this one! Great and fun read. Highly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for my ARC.

An Island Promise was just what I wanted it to be. Formulaic and uncomplicated in all the right ways.
I loved the main character Belle although the depth of her obsession with a 2 night summer fling from 10 years ago was a bit odd especially when so quickly cast aside. Her relationship with her friends and the exploration of how friendships change over the years felt very true to life. Things rarely go exactly as we plan when we are young but life can still be exciting and fulfilling (if you can go and find romance and a rich man in the sun).

I requested this book without even reading the outline because I've become to love Kate's work and this is her back to her very best. I instantly fell in love with Belle - she's warm, kind, and in desperate need of a break. So when moving to Ibiza brings her into the world of Serenity and Spirit, but also the gorgeous, rich hotel owner Caleb, will she find love with a man who has been through so much heartbreak?

From the moment I started reading the prologue, I just wanted to keep on turning the pages. This book has everything you ever want: loving, selfless families, new beginnings but I did find a few things that I suspected would happen and they did. I feel like this book needs a sequel to answer some of the questions I have but this is Kate back to her very best. I love books involving the Med, event planning and friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Characters like Gem who really tested my patience - wow she can be so horrible!

If you want a book full of promise, love, forgiveness and moving on then this is the book for you.

Please do a sequel!

Another great escapist novel. Made me feel like I was in Ibiza. While the storyline is predictable, the character development is strong. Looking forward to the next book.

Belle goes on holiday to Ibiza with her 2 best friends when she's 21. They do all the usual things and promise to go back 10 years. It doesn't go the way she thought when they do go back

An island promise Well where do I begin? I have been so excited about this one and it has delivered on every level. I have been so caught up in this one – I devoured the whole thing in just one sitting.

Belle, Gem and Laurie went on vacation to Ibiza, for a week, when they were 21, where they had a lot of fun, clubbing, partying, drinking, When they were leaving they decided they would come back in 10 year. 10 years later, they meet at a friend's wedding, and decide that they would go back.
Kate Frost takes us along on their journey's and a lot can happen in 10 years. They really haven't kept in touch much, so it will be interesting spending time with each other. They aren't the carefree girls they were 10 years ago, being back, makes each one see who they are now, and they face the reality they hadn't before. Life has a way of doing that, I enjoyed my time with them in Ibiza, and I did enjoy watching their journey unfold, as they took each day as it came, and made the decision, to become the person they are meant to be today.
I received an ARC from Boldwood Books through NetGalley.
