Promises Part 4 by A.E. Via

5.0

This is a slow moving love story, with richly detailed characters, subplots and genuine intimacy between two men.

Brian King was a favorite of mine when he was first introduced. He spent over 20 years in the US Navy, honorably discharged after a horrific ordeal at the hands of the enemy. He no longer speaks, and he has spent four years learning ASL.

Sway Hamilton is a nurse, he takes care of his mother, and is learning to live life without his twin. He is a natural caregiver.

Brian and Sway meet in book 3 in very unconventional place. In fact, they first have sex together in book 3! But they never exchange names, and would be hard-pressed to pick the other out in a lineup. This is my biggest complaint about book four, their first smokin, hot sexual interaction is at the end of book 3. I really think the author should’ve included it as a prequel in this one.

It’s a Via book, so of course there will be some silly drama, but that didn’t change my feelings about this love story. 

Once again Aiden Snow does a superb job with his the voice acting in the audiobook.
