redsrecs 's review for:
All the Pain of Promises
by Hillary Raymer
Thank you to Hillary Raymer for the e-ARC of this book!
Y’all know I’ve been obsessed with this series since book one, and this installment only deepened that obsession.
Narissa and Sol deliver everything: enemies-to-lovers tension, an arranged marriage, unforgettable “my wife” moments, and some truly incredible spice. 🔥
I haven’t really been enjoying smut much this year, but this book completely turned that around for me.
The romance? Immaculate.
The character development? Everything.
And the overarching political plot? It builds to a climax I genuinely did not see coming.

This was hands-down one of my favorite reads of the year.
The plot twists were solid—maybe a touch predictable—but given the romcom-meets-Fae-world, Bridgerton vibe, it struck the perfect balance without being too heavy.
If you haven’t started this series yet, this is your sign to dive in. And if you’re already hooked like I am—good news! Not long now until All the Pain of Promises hits the shelves!
