Where We Promise
by Ashley Munoz
MISSED OPPORTUNITIES ~ MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE ~ MC CLUB LIFE
Having devoured the first two books in the Stone Riders MC series, I eagerly picked up "Where We Promise," ready to delve deeper into the story of Jameson and Penelope. While it certainly satisfied my curiosity about their past and present, it also left me with some lingering questions.
The life Penny leads with her mother, moving from one MC club to another, is undeniably intriguing. Ashley Munoz paints a vivid picture of the MC Club "family" and its hierarchy, making it easy to get absorbed in this world. The author's decision to include bonus scenes was a smart move, adding much-needed complexity and depth to the story, setting the stage well for the final book in the series.
However, I found myself struggling with some aspects of the plot and character development. The idea that Jameson never realized how much Penny loved him seemed far-fetched, and I felt his character lacked the backbone that was so compelling in the earlier books. Penny's relationship with Luke also left me puzzled; it wasn't clear what drew her to him or why she stayed with him.
The narrative took a turn for the rushed after the baby was born, with too much telling rather than showing. This shift made the latter part of the book feel less engaging and somewhat disconnected from the meticulous build-up we had seen earlier in the series.
Despite these criticisms, "Where We Promise" remains a solid read, earning a three-star rating from me. It's not as gripping as its predecessors, but it still holds value for fans of the series. Here's hoping the final book delivers the payoff we've been waiting for.
