Where We Promise by Ashley Munoz

5.0

---

Obsessed. Oh my lord, I’m obsessed. I don’t know what Ashley put in this book, but I absolutely devoured it. Jameson & Penelope bring ALL the feels. And I do mean ALL of them. I mean their history, their love, all of it is so good. All Penelope wanted was for Jamie to notice her. From their first interaction, I could tell he was so far gone for her. It was so clear that Penelope had always been it for Jameson, but how in the world did she end up pregnant with Luke’s baby?! I needed to know what they heck happened between them. I couldn’t put it down. There are so many twists, and this one hurt. Pining on both ends, but never managing to figure it out until their hands are forced? There was so much working against these two, and I hated that so much turmoil is what brought them together, but they are so meant to be, and I am LIVING for their love. I really enjoyed Penelope and Natty’s friendship, partly because we get to learn more about Natty after she’d been such a mystery the last few books, but also because Pen just needs people in her corner, and I love Natty for her. And Jameson? Swoon. I love that man.

Beyond Jamie & Pen though, we get the continuation of the overarching story with the Stone Riders and everything that has been happening in the first two books, and my jaw dropped. I literally had to message Ashley in the middle of the night because I was panicking and couldn’t put the book down, but also didn’t know what else to do or who I could talk to.

And I need an honorable mention for Harris because THAT MAN DESERVES THE WORLD. The way he made me cry more than once in this book?!?!?!

This entire series has been so masterfully woven with all the twists and turns, yet is full of so much heart,  love, and spice with all the protective, possessive heroes (anti-heroes? whatever they’re considered, I love them) and their ladies. I love the found family we have in the Stone Riders, and I can’t wait for more.
