[b:One is a Promise|34091798|One is a Promise (Tangled Lies, #1)|Pam Godwin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1492642130l/34091798._SY75_.jpg|55106704] by [a:Pam Godwin|6474204|Pam Godwin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1545404751p2/6474204.jpg]
Genres: Adult, Erotica, Mystery, Romance, Suspense.
5 Full Stars!
Every now and then you read a book that just has every element in it that captures you in such a way you can't let it go.
This is one of those stories.
I am a big opponent of 'Cliffhangers'. They irritate me. I want my HEA. I want completion.
So giving this 5 stars is a miracle, a true phenomenon for me.
And it Deserves every star I gave it. Maybe more.
Color me flabbergasted!
Yes, I expected it to be good. I expected to enjoy it. It is written by [a:Pam Godwin|6474204|Pam Godwin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1545404751p2/6474204.jpg]
so my expectations were high.
But I knew going in that is was a 'To Be Continued' story, so that brought my excitement down a level or two.
My objections to the unpleasantness and offensiveness of a 'Cliffhanger' was Shot Dead and Demolished.
This story ConSumeD Me!
It took NO prisoners.
Superbly written. I didn't find any editing errors.
Fast paced. No unnecessary words. No repetition.
Outstanding characters. I could not get enough of ALL 3 mc's. They are all outstanding and you connect on a level that absorbs your every breath.
I didn't read this book.
I Inhaled It! And it Devoured my Soul!
This isn't just a story. It is a Masterpiece and for the 1st time in my life, I am completely okay with a story being in 3 full length parts.
The intimacy is adult and erotic.
Filled with passion and emotions.
The mystery that clings just between the lines keep you questioning and on the edge.
By the end you get some answers and the Blow Your Mind. You will be destroyed and left feeling like ruble on the floor.
Expect a massive 'Book Hangover' after reading this.
I know! A cliffhanger. But do not let that keep you from reading this beyond Excellence story.
It is just that 'Remarkable'.

Spectacular. I need gin and a dark room where I can rock and occasionally lick windows! Better still I need my mum to come and hold me and play with my hair.
I don't know what it is about Trace Savoy but me and him don't get along. Sure he is as fit as a butcher's dog, blonde, hung, part Viking but...he had my heckles up. I couldn't stop thinking of him as Mr Burns in The Simpsons. I really, really don't know why. For the record, I don't fancy Mr Burns.
Now Cole Hartman - that is a horse of a different colour. He had me swoony woony in total love with him. I want to have his motor bike riding babies.
Stand out character and a huge well done to Pam Godwin on creating the feisty, no nonsense, grab them by the balls Danni Angelo. I want to be her when I grow up, apart from the heart break stuff and having to put up with arrogant, super twat Trace. I want to be a belly dancer and have the best put down lines for jerks ever.
One woman. The love of her life gone. She attempts to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes of her life. Hot air balloon and all.
I awaited for the inevitable, it played out perfectly, and not at all how I expected it to, leaving me breathless and feeling a bit sick!
Best bits:
"In that flicker of time, with something as inconceivable as a look, he claims me, owns me, and ruins me for all others. It's a look so defining it puts quotation marks around mine, his, us, and forever."
"A real kiss is more than the motion of mouths. It's an inspiration. A creation of something unfathomable and timeless."
"The size of your bank account doesn't make you classy. It's the dignity you carry yourself with and the respect you show others. If you have an ugly attitude and belittle those around you, it doesn't matter who designs your suits or how posh your penthouse is."
"I'm comfortable here, lying on the floor in a pool of regret. I've grown addicted to sadness. It's familiar, reliable, effortless."
"Love isn't a choice. Nor is life. We connect, or we don't connect. We live, and we die. There is no forever."
"Where souls touch and dreams swell."
I'm desperate for more Cole and need to study blonde Viking like men so I can rid myself of the image of Mr Burns.
