Amazon.com Review
Bestselling author Debbie Macomber continues to delight readers with her heartwarming Heart of Texas series with Return to Promise. Back on familiar ground, Macomber reintroduces us to favorite characters from earlier volumes, including Cal Patterson and his wife, Jane. Married for several years, Jane has severely cut back her medical practice to raise their two small children while Cal continues to ranch. But when Jane and the children take an extended trip to California to nurse her ailing father, Cal becomes the target of an attractive newcomer in town, hot-to-trot Nicole Nelson. Jane returns to Promise as rumors surface about the time Cal spent with Nicole while the cat... uh, Jane... was away. Disagreements and doubts escalate, leading to Jane and Cal's separation, Jane heading back to her parents' home in California with their children. Alone, Cal is forced for the first time in his marriage to think, really think, about what he wants and needs his life to be. The prolific Macomber answers fans' cries for "more, more, more" Promise, Texas, with her true and sometimes painful portrayal of life and love after the initial rush of hormones passes.--Alison Trinkle

 Plot too cliche, 2008-04-10
The plot was just extremely cliche. Happily married husband and wife with 2 children. Wife and children go out-of-town. Sexy girl in town now interested in husband. Both are seen together and gossip around town starts. Wife and children get back and wife is the last to know about girl and husband being seen together. She automatically assumes he cheated on her without knowing the context. Miscommunication, assumptions, and jumping to conclusions ensue and causes their marriage to be in jeopardy. This is such a typical plot. I rolled my eyes many times at how cliche the book progressed.

 I don't think so either, 2005-07-06
I have read other books by Debbie Macomber and thoroughly enjoyed them. However, in my opinion this one did not measure up to her previous works. Maybe if I had read the previous titles in this series I might have liked "Return to Promise". However I found the childish misunderstandings and lack of communication between Cal and Jane quite ridiculous. In my opinion, this book read like a soap opera.

Pretty Good., 2002-06-13
This was an enjoyable book, but I can't give it 5 stars because the whole book was all about 2 Dr Jane and her Husband. But, worth reading.
