Promise Me Forever by Sadie Kincaid
3.0

Drake James does not fall in love. He has one night stands and he does not care to know their names. Let’s play two truths and a lie. I love Sadie Kincaid, I have been waiting for this Manhattan Ruthless series forever, and Promise Me Forever is my favorite book. Ehhh. this one didn’t hit like her mafia books and I found myself being really annoyed over and over with the “relationship/situationship” between Drake and Amelia. I wanted this to be a slow burn, but it’s hard to have a slow burn after a one night stand. Then you have the boss/employee relationship, forbidden love, grumpy-sunshine? I found myself skimming a lot because I hated the way Drake would treat Amelia when he was trying to deny himself, and while Amelia didn’t take it sitting down (and I love that for her), she gave him far too many chances. I really want to love this series as much as I loved LA and Chicago Ruthless, but it’s just not happening. Maybe Elijah’s book will be better?
