Dirty Little Promise

***4 ‘Million Billion’ Stars*** Ahhhh...Emma FINALLY made a choice. Okay. That probably came across badly, but let me at least explain before you all come at me with pitchforks. I don’t have many, if any triggers, nor are there many tropes I don’t like...but there is one that toes that line. The Love Triangle. I don’t hate it, but it most definitely isn’t one that I absolutely enjoy ~ and it doesn’t matter if it’s done by an author I absolutely adore ~ they just make me feel...meh. So, I was meh about Dirty Little Secret and as I’m sure you’ve figured out, slightly meh with the first portion of Dirty Little Promise. I say slightly because I really did want to see Emma finally make a decision and once she did that I went from meh to happy (because she made the right one IMHO) and honestly enjoyed the rest of their story because Emma and her chosen one finally got to go all in with their relationship and dear lord are there some smexy and swoon worthy moments between them. There are, of course, bumps in the road and a couple of those bumps were all kinds of crazy, but made sense and were unravelled and resolved well by the end of the book that brought them even closer. And though this couple gets their HEA, their story complete, there is still the loose end in regards to the one not chosen and what his fate will be. Thankfully we will be getting his story next and I’m definitely looking forward to it. But I must be quite honest and say that it’s Quinn’s story I’m really looking forward to. Of all the crazy characters we’ve met so far, he is the one I’m loving the most and cannot wait to spend more time with him! ~ Copy provided by InkSlingerPR & the author & voluntarily reviewed ~

Dirty Little Promise By: Kendall Ryan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Review by Kristie K A scintillating conclusion to what Dirty Little Secret began, Kendall Ryan definitely satisfies with Dirty Little Promise… Dirty Little Promise picks up right where we left off in Dirty Little Secret. The second installment of the Forbidden Desires series, and the conclusion to the story of Emma and Gavin, Ms. Ryan delivers a truly decadent tale. Learning of Gavin’s dark secret sends Emma running scared, and unsure of where she really stands in his life…or his heart. Though the answers she seeks are not easy to hear, Emma cannot deny the fire that burns in her veins for Gavin Kingsley. Giving him another chance won’t be easy, but her heart won’t let her walk away without a fight. Gavin bares his soul to Emma…the good, the bad, and the truly ugly…and prays that she won’t run away screaming when she learns the truth. When she accepts him, and decides to try again, his hardened heart opens just a little bit more. So many obstacles stand in their way…and hearts are bound to be broken…but the question is…who’s? Ms. Ryan has done it again. Dirty Little Promise is just as good, if not better, than Dirty Little Secret. Watching these two overcome devastating secrets, revelations, and truths was heart-wrenching and beautiful. Knowing that someone was going to get hurt, no matter what the outcome, hung over my heart the entire book. As always, this book was written with so much thought, heart, soul, and love. You can feel it with every word you read. From the storyline, to the characters, to the writing itself, Kendall Ryan hits it out of the park with this series. Kristie K
