I Promise You by Shantel Tessier
4.0

I loved diving back into the world of the Sharks! This story picked up right where the first left off (before the epilogue) and alternates between the POVs of Cole and Deke.

I fell harder and faster for Cole with this book. His redeeming qualities really shined through and showed how he was truly capable of loving, caring and protecting. The lengths he went for Austin were never ending. I was so happy to see him stand up for what he believed in and cared about, even if it meant crossing his powerful father and anyone else who stood in his way.

Deke, one of my favorite side characters also stepped up his game in this read and proved himself not only as a loyal friend but also a lover. He was truly the glue that held the gang together (or helped weed out the bad apples) and he proved his unwavering loyalty time and time again!

This read was full of suspense, deceit, lust, violence, betrayal, love and uncertainty! It did get confusing at times with so much going on at once and numerous characters going rouge but smoothed out in the end with clarity and jaw dropping satisfaction. The next installment of this story cannot come soon enough!
