Caleb Dulaude grew up extremely poor and on the wrong side of the tracks. When he was finally old enough to understand about his father’s abandonment of his mother when she was pregnant, Caleb instantly and emphatically promised himself over and over that somehow, someway his birth father would pay for his treatment of Caleb’s beloved mother.  Now a much heralded and medaled Navy SEAL, Caleb has learned everything that he needs to know to function in high society without anyone being the wiser.  In town for the wedding of one of his comrades, Caleb meets Emmie Caddington.  Attracted to her charming quirkiness, Caleb can not believe his luck when he finds out exactly who Emmie is.  As luck would have it, Caleb’s revenge might be happening sooner rather than later.

Emmie was one tough cookie – that much is certain.  Even knowing she was not the type of woman that would attract a Navy SEAL, much less one that would attract Caleb Dulaude, she forged ahead with their liaison.  Her feelings of ineptitude did not stop her from exploring the budding relationship she and Caleb were having.  Caleb grabbed my heart. I can still see a small boy yearning for his father’s love and that same boy’s heart break when realizing that the man he knows as his father refuses to acknowledge the life that he had a hand in creating.

Mary Margret Daughtridge did an excellent job of getting the emotional aspects of SEALED WITH A PROMISE correct.  I felt Caleb and Emmie’s passion, laughed at their antics, and cried when their hearts were sad.  Most of all, however, SEALED WITH A PROMISE is about acceptance and forgiveness.  Both very hard to attain but when it happens, it is glorious.

Don’t miss SEALED WITH A PROMISE, I can’t recommend it enough!
