ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
Forbidden Promises is the fourth installment in The O’Malley’s Series and while this book can be read as a standalone, I highly advise you to read the first three books since secondary characters play a crucial integral part of the story line. With that out of the way, now onto the review.
Sloan O’Malley has lived a very sheltered life even though her family is part of the Irish mafia. This life that she has now is not the life that she wants and so when the opportunity presents itself her to start over, she takes it. While she is adjusting to her newfound freedom and job, she meets a neighbor who intrigues and sparks her interest.
Jude McNamara knows that he should stay away from Sloan O’Malley. She drips with innocence and he just has no time to deal with that. Or does he? Jude only cares for revenge since he is the last surviving one of his family. In his quest for revenge, what happens when Sloan interrupts his life? And what happens when feelings and attraction collides with danger?
Forbidden Promises was indeed a real page turner. Robert’s did a terrific job blending the themes of family, romance, suspense, and revenge into the story line. She allowed readers to finally see the real Sloane come out of her shell. The once perceived little meek mouse does have a backbone and it was great to finally see that showcased in this installment. As I said earlier, yes this book can be read as a standalone but I highly urge you to read the previous books of this series to see how far the O’Malley family has come along.
