Country singer Savannah Webb enjoyed some success in Nashville before her career plateaued. Today, thanks to some decisions she’d like to do over, she’s single, pregnant, and alone. Yet she’s determined to survive the holidays and safely deliver her baby girl and then place her in a loving, secure home—something she never had.

Former Army Ranger Finn Campbell has signed on for a stint as a contract soldier while investing in a new tech startup that could be his future, but there are never guarantees for a soldier in the Middle East. Before he’s due to fly out on his mission, Finn decides to spend his leave at the Campbell family’s Montana ranch.

Finn is shocked to instead meet Savannah, housesitting for his family, so late in her pregnancy. Their bond surprises them, and he promises to be her support until she no longer needs him. But their growing attraction complicates their short-term agreement to share the ranch for Christmas, and opposing commitments are tugging them apart. Can they find a compromise—and more?

A Soldier’s Promise is the third title in The Calhouns & Campbells of Cold Canyon Ranch series.  Savannah and Finn’s romance shows, quite frankly, how a person can grow and change from who they once were.  We met Savannah in Bear’s Heart (the second title in the series), and frankly, at that time, she wasn’t the nicest character I’ve ever encountered.  She’d made choices that not only affected herself but others as well, choices made without their knowledge.  Present-day Savannah is reevaluating her life, her choices when she finds herself pregnant, her baby’s father has been killed in an accident, and she is, once again, having to make choices that will affect her unborn daughter’s life.  For now, she’s house/dogsitting, her career put on hold as she decides her future.  She’s about to encounter a man who will factor into those decisions, a man who truly sees her and has the ability to change her life forever.

Finn has made an impromptu visit to his family’s ranch in Marietta, Montana, before heading overseas on assignment.  The last thing he expected to encounter was a very pregnant, lovely woman housesitting as a blizzard bears down on the area.  What started out as simply helping Savannah will quickly turn into emotions neither had expected and choices to be made that will change everything, should they take a few risks and trust the feelings that have exploded between them so quickly.

I enjoyed A Soldier’s Promise very much, not only for the lovely romance, but for the life lesson that I think we need to see… that there are times when the person we once were can change, can grow into a far different person when they face the choices of their past and consiciously made the decision to do better, to change their actions for themselves first, and others second.  The growth of Savannah was such a delight to see.  As would be expected, we saw her very differently in Braden and Josie’s story.  I really liked this new Savannah, proving that nothing or no one is cast in stone forever. Their story is well-written, emotional, full of life changes for them both, and familiar faces from the earlier stories in this series.  If that sounds like your kind of romance, then you’d love this one.
