Tainted Promises by Melinda Terranova

5.0

I started The Savage Kings of St Ivy series as a BABE Book Club monthly read and it drew me in with the drama and angst filled story and the suspense that bled from the pages. Melinda Terranova left us on a gripping cliffhanger at the end of the second book, Savage Lies, and I was eagerly awaiting the release of book three Tainted Promises to see how everything resolved.

Firstly, how did I not know that this series was more than a trilogy! I reached 85% when it finally occurred to me there was still too much angst, tension and loose ends to wrap up in the remaining pages. Which leads me to the second point Melinda Terranova does it again! She has managed to up the stakes in this suspense and action fueled storyline and just continues to gives readers more twists and turns. The plot is a rollercoaster of epic proportions as our FMC Peyton is absolutely put through the wringer emotionally and physically in this book. Tainted Promises also turns up the steam for our reverse harem and the boys each deliver in their own way. We also get to see a bit more behind the Brotherhood’s cloak of darkness and I am loving every dark drop of mystery secret societies are bringing to books right now.

Just when I thought I was going to get answers Tainted Promises slapped me with another brilliantly written cliffhanger which left me wanting more and craving the release of the next book in this amazing series.
