Broken Promise by Tara Thomas

Broken Promise (Sons of Broad)

by Tara Thomas

Charming on the surface, Kipling Benedict’s attitude doesn’t show his cutthroat mentality. But there’s one woman who is able to see through him to push past his hardened heart and open him up to love. That is, if he can keep her safe from the powerful man that is out to destroy them…

Haunted by her sister’s unsolved murder, Alyssa has always wanted to be the best detective, to put cases to rest so that other families don’t have to go through the pain of never knowing, like hers did. But as Alyssa digs deeper into the threat that hunts Kipling and his brothers - and brings a massive, deadly revenge plot to light - they must both find strength in their love if they are to stop their powerful foes, and keep the Benedict Family and their loved ones safe, once and for all.

I enjoyed this one quite a lot. In fact, I think it may be my favorite of the series. We finally find out the identity of the "Gentleman" and all the "hows & whys" of it all. Both Kipling --- god awful name BTW. Every time I read it all I could think of was a kipper (lol), and Alyssa were likable main characters. I continued to like Jade as well, and I really hope we see a novella featuring her HEA at some point.





That said, I had a couple of issues that lowered my rating a bit. Both took place right near the end. I was a tiny bit annoyed that the author never told us what happened to Kipling when the gentleman had him. When they are saved, he appears to have just a concussion and no outward signs of injuries. Then all of a sudden he is almost dead, in a coma, and spends weeks in intense physical therapy?? For what exactly?? A little more detail was definitely needed. The other issue was, we are told Jade got shot, but then she is perfectly OK sitting in the hospital waiting room, and her being injured is never brought up...like AT ALL. Both those issue did have me lowering my rating a bit.

Apart from that, this was a really good book and a really enjoyable series.
