**I received a copy of Sullivan's Promise from Random House-Ballantine and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions expressed below are not solicited in any way.**
Sullivan's Promise by Joan Johnson encompasses several of the authors series of books and this is Ryan Sullivan and Victoria Grayhawk's story. I have not read any of the previous books so I am at a bit of a disadvantage not knowing the background of the blended families. For me there were several distracting moments but the book is very good and very good.
Ryan Sullivan had a one night stand with Vic Grayhawk that gave both of them a surprise with little Cody. With Victoria head to college and not wanting to raise a child Ryan manned up to become the dad he's always wanted to be. When Victoria completes her studies her once a month visitations with her son aren't enough. When an accident happens with Mike Ryan's brother he's faced with needing her assistance to care for Cody. Is there a possibly of both Ryan and Victoria discovering that they can fall in love and become a couple?
Victoria Grayhawk works tirelessly protecting the bears and wolves in the surrounding area. Even though she loves her time with her son she wants more. But when Ryan's brother is attacked and wounded by a Grizzly he asks her to help with taking care of Cody and the house while his mother stays with Mike. She starts to wonder if Ryan could be the person she's always loved is there a possibility of a forever after?
There are several stories being wrapped up with all of the families in the series but not having read those stories I don't want to ruin the story lines by being wrong.

I don’t know where to start to do justice to this story. I’ve read most of this author’s books especially all the series and books that are connected to these characters back to Captive and I have recommended these books to so many people I know so when I read this book it both warmed my heart and broke my heart. This is such a strong story with so many answers. All the many characters are so relatable that they just come to life. This book did the same.
Ryan Sullivan is so responsible that even his one night stand makes him take action. He doesn’t know he was with Victoria Grayhawk until later in the story. Victoria at the same time doesn’t know that her one night stand would so change her life. As both of them deal with the issue of Cody the story brings in so many other characters. This author has the unique way of going full circle, Ryan’s mom Darcie has unfinished business with Angus Flynn. Matt and Jennie and King Grayhawk’s outcome are some resolved. So may other open questions are resolved in this book. The overall story warmed my heart. The ending is good but saying goodbye to so many of these characters felt like I had attended a funeral. I feel like I lost friends. I feel like there might be further stories involving Ryan’s brother Mike and sister Amy Beth but I don’t know if any of the other characters will be in further stories. This is the one story I would have hated to have missed. It ties up so many other books and gives a updated picture where the characters are currently. As always I can’t wait to see what will come next.
