Promises Series

That's a Promise, Book #1

BLOGS REVIEW

I promise you this book is full of heartache, laughter and many sensitive topics that we may or may not be able to relate too. Josie is one of the toughest girls with all the dealings she had to deal with throughout her life.
The prologue hooks you right from the beginning and although heartbreaking we want to know the story of so much more that goes on with Josie, Seth, Blake and so many other characters in this book. You will notice that the book goes from past to present, but this is done so that you can understand what is transpiring and why. I would have loved to see POVs from either Blake or Seth on many of these chapters to get their side of the story.
Seth and Josie have been inseparable, BF since they were six years old as they got older and feelings change so do their relationship. Josie had one of the worst nightmares no girl wishes to go through and Seth is the only who can bring her out of her enclosed shell she hides behind. They both hide feelings for one another so that they don't ruin the best friendship you could ask for.
Josie meets Blake and knows that she could love him since he makes her feel safe. I've said this before and I will say it again. You can love more than once in your lifetime and the feelings of that love will not be the same and what she had with Blake will always be different than what she had with Seth.
The secondary characters stories are an added bonus. I love Brooke, Brandon and all the other characters. I especially love Dad and Daddy. My heart swoons for their story.
That's a Promise has Seth promising Josie one thing and Blake promising another. You will see lies, betrayal, protection, laughter and the forgiveness throughout this book. Losing Seth was harder than losing Blake in this story and that epilogue leaves you gasping for book 2. Warning you will want to read this series in full once you start reading this book.  

That's a Lie, Book #2

That's a Lie (Promises, Promises #2)

BLOGS REVIEW

Oh my, Seth is back!! Yes, this man is beyond awesome. He is not only Josie's BF, but he loves her broken and with her flaws and all. Wow, I thought there were twists in the first book, but there are even more in this one. Yikes, you are on pins and needles with the turn of events that transpire in this book.
Josie and her lies. She hides the truth from Seth, Blake and her family and friends. I love that they can see right through her though. I love that Seth has returned and he will stop at nothing to get Josie to stop hiding and come out with her feelings.
Blake oh Blake, while I like you to a point haha you are just not meant for Josie. You are sweet and kind, but your lie itself is so wrong. Josie forgave you even after this and you promised her to be there and once you found out another secret she had been hiding you vanished. Ok, ok, I get Seth broke his promise too, but she had chosen you and you left. You may be a romantic, but this is so not Josie and needs to be spontaneous with her. Inquiring minds though do want to know what is inside that tin? What tin you say? Read the book and find out. LOL.
I love love that this was told from a dual POV and we got to see the questions that arose in book 1 since we got the background now. This made the book so much better and answered so many questions I had.
I would maybe love to see a novella on Brooke and Brandon. Yes, we know the story behind them and what transpires, but with the way her parents are and the struggles that they had with a situation as well. It would be nice to see and feel what they went through.
Really, you leave us wanting in book 1 and now you really left us wanting and gasping with that epilogue in book 2. What? Why? Haven't these two ok three gone through enough heartaches, lies and traumatic drama. Cruel I tell ya.  

That's a Relief, Book #3

That's a Relief (Promises, Promises #3)

BLOGS REVIEW

Ok, I just need to say that this title is so deceiving until the very end of the book. As you read book 3 you ask yourself, "why the heck is this called, 'That's a Relief'?" with the stories and twist that unfold in this book. It is anything, but relief. Holy smoke, the twists that occur in here left you speechless and wanting to know if there really is a HEA for Josie in sight. Just when it seems to be looking positive for her we get a lasso thrown at us.
Josie cannot catch a break when it comes to her nightmare. Seth will stop at nothing to show her that yes, he is being protective, but for her own good. He fights his own depression and demons to keep her safe.
Well we finally learn what was in the tin Blake left Josie. Oh my, so sweet and he could have made her a happy women, but no one has her full heart like Seth. Don't get me wrong, I think Josie and Blake loved each other, but it wasn't the full on love that she needed. Blake I would have said no as well with what you did to that book, sweet but you don't touch a women's book like that. haha. Echo oh Echo you are really meant at the right time when you appear.
I love that Brandon and Brody didn't let their father's experience or Blake's time with Josie ruin the great friendship that they have. Yes, we all want to know a little more on Brandon and Brooke (even though we know what transpires we want the inside story or maybe life in Seattle), but inquiring minds really want that story on Brody and Breanna. Blake may blow a gasket, but I think Brandon would accept it.
Book Nerd got her wish in Vegas! So awesome and how Seth pulled that off is awesome. It was a relief that Seth and Josie finally got a HEA in the epilogue, but my oh my the negatives they had to go to get there. I truly hope we get to see more on them and the other characters. Maybe a spin off in Seattle as they adjust to something new.
I highly recommend this series to anyone and will inform you that you will want to purchase all three so that you are not left hanging with your mouth open wanting to know what happens next. So glad I got them all at once! A must read in my opinion if you are a book nerd like Josie and I.

Excerpt Real The Eagle by Jillian Dodd


EAGLE_EXCERPT.jpg
Prologue
Two men are seated in a large room with ornate gold leaf bookcases and a deeply toned, hand-painted mural covering a large, domed ceiling. The mural features the Archangel Michael in a battle with Satan. It was painstakingly created for this room based on the Baroque painting, “The Fall of the Damned,” and it took an artist three years to complete.
Although one of the men seated owns the home this beautiful room is in, he is not sitting in a place of power behind his mammoth hand-carved mahogany desk, but rather both men are seated in matching wingback chairs covered in the softest of plaid cashmeres and are situated near the room’s French doors, which overlook the estate’s vast grounds.
“We have some loose ends to tie up regarding Montrovia,” the owner of the home says after taking a sip of amber-colored liquid from a heavy crystal tumbler.
“We shouldn’t have trusted the girl,” the other man says.
“Easy to say in retrospect, especially considering she came very close to succeeding. If she would have become Queen, it would have made things much easier for us. We will prevail, regardless.”
“What is our next course of action, then?”
“We continue with our plan,” the owner states. “Although, I’m afraid there will have to be a few slight variations.”
“Does one of those variations have to do with why the Eagle wasn’t present at our meeting today?” the man asks, the understanding of an unusual event earlier in the day showing in his furrowed brow.
“He isn’t doing what he promised. Now that he controls the world’s most powerful military, he seems to have forgotten who put him into power.”
“That was a very expensive endeavor.”
The owner of the home nods in agreement. “One of which we are not reaping the reward from. So, I’m afraid we have no choice. We must liquidate our bad investment.”
The man sets his drink down, trying to keep his hand from shaking, knowing it could just as easily be him if he dared to cross the man in front of him. “But he’s our friend.”
“Something he has also forgotten. Do it. And I only want the best, for obvious reasons.”
“Sadly, the best is dead.”
“Are you referring to The Priest?”
“Yes. He was killed after the Eagle’s father hired him for a hit then double crossed him.”
“I don’t believe he’s dead. Find him.”
“I’m sure we can find someone equally as talented—”
“I want The Priest and no one else,” the owner interrupts.
How in the world am I supposed to hire a dead man? he thinks, but he doesn’t dare say.
“It’s going to be dangerous for us to even try to find him, but I will see what I can come up with. What if he is still alive, but says no?”
“You will make him an offer he cannot refuse. And see if he will give us a group discount regarding the outstanding Montrovian situation.”


The assassin known as The Priest enters an empty bar in France. The hole-in-the-wall drinking establishment is supposed to be open this afternoon, but the owner just hung the closed sign on the door.
“What is this nonsense about an offer?” the assassin asks, freaking out a little. “Everyone thinks I’m dead. We’ve worked hard to establish ourselves here. How did they contact you?”
“Through a secure network. I left a few trusted assets in place in case we ever needed the money.”
“We could be traced though that.”
“No, we can’t. I’m good at what I do. Are you interested in hearing the offer, or not?”
“It doesn’t matter how much it is. I’m not interested.”
“So are you saying that fifteen million dollars wouldn’t sway you?”
“Fifteen million? Who the hell is the target?”
“It’s a series of three hits, but they have only revealed the first one.” He whispers the man’s name.
“You’ve got to be kidding. No way.”
“This money could set us both up for life.”
“We’re already set up for life. Sort of. Besides, I retired. With good reason.”
“They will go as high as twenty.”
“You know how well-guarded a man of his stature is.”
“Are you saying no because you don’t want to do it, or because you don’t think you can do it?”
“Whether or not I can do it is not the question. I always complete my tasks. However, in this case, getting away with it would be another story. I’d have a whole country after me. And they’d find you first, since you are the one brokering the deal.”
“You don’t trust my skills?”
“All I know is that I’m lucky to be alive. It’s been over six years since I was double-crossed, and you know as well as I do, that when Lara was killed it should have been me driving. I had gotten careless with my cover.”
“That was four years ago.”
“Two years after I was presumed dead. Men like that never forget. For all we know, this could be their way of setting me up.” He pushes himself away from the bar. “No. We can’t risk it.”
“If we could get them to twenty-five million, we could buy our own island and live in paradise forever.”
“We already live in paradise, my friend.”
“I’m tired of running this bar.”
“This bar is your cover. Hiding didn’t work before. Hiding in plain sight is. And we will continue to make it work.”
“Whatever,” the bartender says, his disappointment showing in both his expression and gestures. But he does as told—logs into a secure network and declines the offer.
He’s surprised when there is an immediate response.
“They just offered thirty million.”
The assassin closes his eyes. The thrill of the hunt is something he craves, but he can’t.
He shakes his head no.
The bartender relays his decision, then his eyes go wide with shock.
“You need to see this for yourself,” he says, handing him the laptop.
The assassin reads the instant message.

Thirty million is my final offer, but I suspect it’s not about the money. I have other information that may interest you. The first target is not only a powerful world leader, but he is the legacy of the man who double-crossed you six years ago.

He’s rereading it again just to be sure, when another message pops up.

Does that change your mind?

The assassin drains the beer in front of him. “Tell the man that it most certainly does.”

BLOGS REVIEW 
The title of this book could not be more accurate for Blake and Mike. I wasn't even in the relationship and what they were feeling and going through was wrecking me.
Mike and Blake for the past two years have been putting off their feelings for one another do to their work relationship and some other issues (not saying what read the book hahah).
Just when the opportunity is brought forth for them to maybe begin something you are thrown a wrench and slowly crashing along with them. Can both Mike and Blake guide each other with what they are going through in life and make a go at a relationship or has that option been towed away with the broken car parts? Bet you'd like to know.
Most of us can easily relate to this story regardless of your relationship selection you choose. The question you ask yourself is do you put yourself out there or do you just continue to have those feelings for someone and not say anything? It can be a tough decision and especially with the little twist Blake throws us. Wow, did not expect that one. Lips are sealed so go grab this book and get wrecked right along with us
