Blog Tour – The Promise by Kristen Ashley with Giveaway

07/08/2014

The Promise

The Promise (The Burg Series #5) by Kristen Ashley

Adult contemporary. Recommend you read at least the first 2 in the Burg Series first.

I read At Peace (The Burg Series #2) in 2011. I remembered Vi and Cal and the girls, but did not remember Frankie and Benny, so I decided to do a full re-read before diving into The Promise by Kristen Ashley. Though I don’t think I had to, I am SO GLAD I did. The Promise and At Peace are closely tied together, and I think having all of the details fresh made The Promise a much richer experience. And I have to tell you–it’s old-school Kristen Ashley. The Promise fits perfectly in with the rest of the series. It feels the same. All of Kristen’s descriptive deliciousness is there in 500+ magical pages.

First, I need to say, At Peace was even better the second time around. Since I never did a full review because I read it before I started blogging, I will tell you it was a 5+++ star read, and one of my all time favorites (along with Games of the Heart in this series).

The Promise begins right where At Peace ended (though there are 2 books after At Peace, chronologically, this comes next or at least runs simultaneous). Frankie and Benny appear at the end of At Peace and The Promise begins with Frankie in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound.  Frankie (Francesca) comes from a wild and neglectful family with a mom who goes through more men than underwear. Just the opposite, Frankie has had one love, and he was murdered 7 years prior. Having no real family who cared, Frankie had loved and been a big part of her boyfriend’s family, but they held her indirectly responsible for his downfall that led to his death–or maybe it was just too hard to see her.

So for seven years, they cut her out, and Francesca just existed. But as soon as she was shot helping one of their own, that family was right back in there, admitting they were wrong.

Especially Benny.

“He’s my dead boyfriend’s brother.”
“When’d he die?”
“Seven years ago.”…
“Cause no boy who looks like that comes to the hospital every day for a girl who looks like you ’cause he’s keepin’ an eye on his seven-years-dead brother’s girlfriend”
“But he’s my dead boyfriend’s brother.”

Benny–swoon, I love him!!! Reading this book just made me keep running and hugging my husband. I totally have my own Benny. Hot-headed, possessive, protective, can fix anything Italian. Benny runs one of the most famous pizza places in Chicago, passed down from his dad. He’s always had a bond with Frankie. There was always something there. But she was his brother’s girl. Soon after Vinnie’s death, Frankie came to Benny and made a pass at him in her drunken grief. And they hadn’t spoken since. But for those 7 years, he know she was there–it just took her getting shot for him to wise up.

And he wises up the way a Kristen Ashley alpha male does it–forcing his way in.

“I’m not takin’ you home. I’m takin’ you to MY home,” he clarified.
I blinked. I stared. I totally forgot about how cool his sunglasses looked.
Then I lost my mind.
“I’m not goin’ to your house!” I shouted.
“Yeah you are”

Frankie is flash. Big hair, heavy makeup, takes forever to get ready. But she’s heart. She cares big, loves big. Because of the family she was brought up with, she never learned to love herself, so she never found herself deserving Benny or his family’s love. But Benny let her know right away where he stood. No more games.

“You’re crazy-brave, babe,” he said quietly…You’re crazy-beautiful and I ‘spect you been that way all your life. You’re crazy funny. You’re crazy sweet…Seven years I been fuckin’ up. Right now, that shit ends.”

But Frankie, being Frankie, doesn’t roll over for him. She’s drama, she’s stubborn, and that’s just what Benny likes about her.

There was so much love and family and humor and honesty in this book, it’s everything I could ever want in my stories. I giggled a lot, I had a few times where I read with touched tears rolling down my face, and a few more where I openly bawled. The core of FAMILY is very strong in this series, and this story just shows that family isn’t always blood.

“This was life. This was family. This messy, strange, awkward, crazy conglomeration of people that totally fit when they shouldn’t.”

Benny was so honest and upfront. I loved how he just laid it all out there.

“What makes you happy? What do you want outta life?”
“I…” I started, then changed what I was going to say. “Why do you ask?”
“‘Cause I wanna know if it’s in me to give it to you.”

Let me tell you, Benny was pretty hot in the bedroom as well. He was the whole package.

“Because you’re everything a man should be.” 

Likes:
  • A thousand amazing, romantic, funny, perfect quotes to choose from (too many to choose!)
  • I loved Frankie and Benny, and so many of the side characters.
  • This really felt like a Burg book, it had the same feel and pace of the other books.
  • Kristen Ashley’s amazingly detailed descriptions that bring you so far into the story you can’t pull yourself away.
  • The moments with Cal and Vi and the girls could not have been more perfect.
  • The strong sense of family throughout the book.
  • It’s about very typical Italians, I felt like I was reading about my husband’s family.
  • Great sex scenes.
  • No stupid, reckless moves.
  • How forgiving Frankie was to the family who cut her out 7 years prior.
  • A special surprise for KA fans.
  • One of the best epilogues ever.
  • We still have one more in the series!
Dislikes:
  • If I had to find one, the only negative I can find is that nothing was all that different from any of her other books. The heroes can sometimes seem interchangeable with expressions like “yeah?”, “cake” (money), “scrapin’ her off” or “got shot of her”. But I have to say, since that formula works so well for her, why mess with it? I’ll tell you this, If I ever run into a hot guy who say’s Yeah like Kristen’s guys do, I will not be responsible for my actions, and I think Mr. Ana would be a touch upset with me.
Rating: 5 Stars (leaning to 5++), 4 Heat

Flame_FOUR copy

Kristen Ashley has done it again. She has written another epic book filled with love, laughter, pure alpha hotness, amazing family and friends, a full, rich story with some excitement, and amazing romance. I couldn’t have wished for a better story for Frankie and Benny, it was everything I want in any book I read and more. To borrow a quote from The Promise:

“Been waitin’ years for this, baby. Thanks for makin’ it worth the wait.”

In 2022, the entire Tattered and Torn series released, and I loved every single one of them. I listened to them all on audio, and they each deserve a place on my Best of 2022 list, especially Fractured Sky, which I gave a rare 5+++ stars to.

They also have the most beautiful covers!

The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation. This was a quick and fun listening experience, and though it’s nothing epic, it stood out to me in 22.

I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s rare to find books about older couples and I so appreciate when an author writes a sexy one. I had a couple of issues with it, and I really struggled with the heroine’s name, James. Every time I read her name (and the female MC for the next book is Billy) my brain had to catch up for a second that it was a girl.

Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on all 11 lists (since 2012), and for good reason!
Taking the Leap by Kristen Ashley is my favorite book she has written in a while. It very much focuses on Alex and Rix and it didn’t feel like I had to remember a ton of other characters. I felt their chemistry and how perfect they are for each other. 
I love how Kristen handled a disabled hero. This is one you don’t want to miss! Have you read it yet?

After loving over fifty books by Lauren Blakely, I After loving over fifty books by Lauren Blakely, I realized something after reviewing The RSVP: I don’t like when a heroine actively pursues and seduces a man—I like the men to do the chasing.

Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @ Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @alihazelwood lived up to all the hype. I absolutely loved the smart, slow-burn romance that subtly addressed a lot of issues without ever banging you over the head with them. This is one of those books you might be able to recommend to even the non-romance reader even though it’s very much a romance. It just has that “something special”.

I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, but A Long Time Coming by @meghanquinnbooks had everything I ever want in a book. Lia and Breaker’s nerdy friendship morphed into such a great romance, but it took its time, and I loved that; I thought the pace was just perfect. I listened to A Long Time Coming with a HUGE smile on my face the whole time. If I could hug this audiobook I would!

The duet narration from @mallonerin and @j.f.harding made it even better.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is an The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is another of my top reads for 2022. 

I read the first book of the Night Huntress Series, Halfway to the Grave in 2009, and I can honestly say it’s still in my top 3 series ever, so when I saw she was writing the first book again from the male POV this time, I was a little nervous but also excited. Thankfully I had nothing to be nervous about! I absolutely LOVED it and I am so glad to hear she is continuing to do Bone’s POV for the 2nd book as well!

Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back b Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.  I am still blown away by the fact that this non-tennis fan loved this all-tennis book so much. I loved that Carrie Soto is Back tackled so many issues women in sports face, especially women of color. This powerful story really illustrated the costs of greatness, and the sacrifices one needs to make in order to make it to the top. The narration made it even better, and the tennis had me on the edge of my seat! (I don’t even like tennis!)
