Forbidden Promises by Synithia Williams
3.0
3.5 stars.
This book was a bit too soap opera-ish. I am not a fan of sisters going after the same guy. There is just something too taboo and too much of a violation of girl code. Travis is best friends with India's older brother AND he was married to India's sister. Everything else India had to say about how she loved Travis first felt like an excuse. I could have worked with the triangle if her father didn't have this svengali hold on everyone around him.
I also didn't like how Travis never confronted Grant Robidoux for taking his family land and never telling him about all the shady things he was doing behind everyone's back. The author didn't really develop that and it should have been discussed.
At least Travis and India loved each other, the other matches seem more about appearances than actual connections. So in the end, I was satisfied with them choosing to be with each other.
