Twisted Promises by Lilian Harris
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.
The narration was so good. Jason Clarke is one of my favorite narrators so this was a treat for me. Ramona Master also did a great job in bringing Iseult’s character to life.
I enjoyed this story more now than when I read it and I think that’s due to the audiobook.

* I read an arc of this book.*
I was very excited for Gio and Iseult's story. Their chemistry was off the charts like i imagined it would be. Their banter was murdery and i loved it.
Iseult delivered on various aspects for me. She was bada**, fierce, lethal and fiery. She was also a lonely one who had a lot of love to give but no one worthy of having it. I did appreciate Iseult journey from being this stoic, grumpy, unfeeling person to being someone just as stoic and lethal when need it but now she could be truly herself with Gio and let herself feel whatever she felt.
Gio was everything and more. I swear the men Lilian writes has one purpose and that is to swoon me off my feet!
Gio was nothing if not consistent since the very beginning. He met this red head woman who tried to un alive him at first sight and he just couldn't help but fall for her spell.
He was persistent and consistent in showing Iseult that he was there to stay and that nothing would keep him away from her and that's part of reason why her pov got frustrating for me because while i loved how stubborn and hard headed Iseult was in the beginning, it then became tiresome when i was 50% into the book and she was still being so resistant towards Gio even after everything that happened and what was said. It got very frustrating because when Gio would give her himself, she would just think they wouldn't go anywhere.
I feel like the fallout of their relationship when it comes to Patrick, Iseult's dad, was too much just because it could've been avoided. She knew Gio was different and since her sister didn't wanted to get married, she could've done something sooner however i did get why she was afraid to commit.
I loved seeing the family together again. Sophie is as always the life of the party.
I loved the bits we got from Hunter and i'm very interested in reading his book and why the hell he went missing.
Gio' mom secret was honestly a bombshell... like what? I didn't see that coming and apparently neither did Lilian but I'm super intrigued and excited to learn more about him and hopefully he will leave his niece alone. Speaking of, that moment Sophie saw Adriel she just knew. I love how intuitive she is and i can't wait to see her relationship with him.
