To notorious bad boy Tempest Callahan, I was the overlooked best friend, an annoying sidekick to his baby sister who trailed behind him and lurked in the shadows, eavesdropping on his every delicious word. Now we're older and at the same college. Despite the very real possibility he wouldn't return my feelings, I had to try. But I didn't know his secrets when I admired his gorgeous face and his Adonis body. I had no idea how damaged you could be on the inside while appearing so charismatic and unattainable on the outside. And it never occurred to me that, during one of those evenings when I followed behind him, what I witnessed would make him want to kill me. Cruel Promise's lush, gothic scenes and deliciously dark hero can be enjoyed as a standalone. IMPORTANT: This story contains some potential triggers involving dubious consent, contains references to witchcraft (but this is not a paranormal romance), and does not include a redemptive arc for the villainous love interest.
When the first review I read couldn’t give it a spice rating cause the were uncomfortable, I KNEW I had to pic it up!!
I was not disappointed!
I’ll give it to that reviewer, the romance is definitely not for the faint of heart and I 100% urge you to read all of the trigger warnings before diving in.
As for me, I LOVED it!
2 years after being in a traumatic accident, Ardin desperately tries to move on with her life by going off to college. She soon realizes it’s the same school as her best friends gorgeously broody brother, Tempest. She has had lingering feelings for this mysterious man since she was little and now seems like the best time to make her move. Down the rabbit hole we go!
I can not recommend this audiobook enough! Liam Dicosimo did such an amazing job bringing Tempest to life. Liam paired with Veronica Landon gave me all the grumpy sunshine vibes I needed.
