One Hundred Promises
(Aspen Cove #4)
by Kelly Collins
Aspen Cove, Colorado, isn’t on Lydia Nichols’s wish list when she finishes her residency at Denver General Hospital, but life delivered several surprising blows. Her long-time boyfriend, who was also her boss, moved on with a nurse and took Lydia’s job with him. No boyfriend. No job. No options. As a favor to her sister, she arrives in the small mountain town for a temporary job as the clinic doctor. Her first question when she gets there is ‘how fast can I leave?’ That is, until sinfully sexy Wes Covington comes into the clinic seeking care. With him around, Lydia may have found a reason to stay—for now.
Wes Covington left his demons in Denver. Working for his family’s architectural firm, he was tired of being almost—almost good enough, almost rich enough, almost loveable enough. He abandoned his penthouse, his high-paying position and his Porsche for simple, small-town life. All he wants is to restore his ancestral home and find a good woman who’ll love him for who he is and not what he’s worth. When Wes meets Dr. Lydia Nichols, he likens her to a hellion with a halo. She’s the perfect mix of sassy and sweet, cunning and compassion, but she’ll never be his unless he can convince her to stay.
Love blooms when the timing is right, but will Lydia surrender her chance at love or can Wes convince her that everything she’ll ever want or need is right in Aspen Cove?

Favorite Quotes:
Making sense of her life was like trying to eat steak with a straw. How had it gone from gold to lead in such a short time?
Men were like Bluetooth. They connected to you when you were nearby, but searched for other devices when you were away.
In soiled jeans and a flannel shirt, he was straight off a mountain man poster—a cross between a geriatric Brawny model and grizzly bear.
He looked between the sisters. They were as different as the sun and the moon. Sage had curly red hair, green eyes, and was the size of a leprechaun, while her sister resembled Malibu Barbie.
I’ve never had sex in a jail cell. If we get caught, I’ll rock your world.
My Review:
I giggle-snorted and smirked my way through this delightfully amusing and entertaining tale. Ms. Collin’s prodigious wit and humorous observations were in top form and sparkled throughout. Clever wordplay, snappy banter, and convivial teasing were deftly woven into engaging and well-crafted storylines that cleverly knitted in threads from the previous books without causing confusion and still allowed this installment to standalone. I adored Lydia and Wes; they brought out the best in each other and may well be my favorites of all of Aspen Cove, although they do have stiff competition as the community appears to be populated with the quirkiest of residents.
