Promises Part 4 by A.E. Via
4.0
I’ve been waiting for Brian’s book for what seems like forever! I was dying to find out more about him! This book is more relationship driven than hunter driven although there is a couple of ‘hunts’ that happen. During one of the ‘hunts’ we get cameo appearances by some of the Nothing Special guys which I don’t think would make sense without having read those books.
Sway and Brian are pretty perfect together when they can get out of their own way. Sway is afraid to enter a meaningful relationship because he’s too afraid to love and lose. Brian is extremely sensitive and surprisingly vulnerable about his mutism because he is dismissed or made fun of by most men. They have off the charts sexual chemistry. Sway ‘reads’ Brian well…like they’ve known each other forever. He sees and understands Brian in a way no other has. There isn’t a lot of angst between them…just a couple of bumps along the way that are sorted quickly.
My favorite scene hands down is when they get dressed in formal wear…I think my heart stopped for a minute. There are a couple of other powerfully emotional scenes that I don’t want to spoil but will stick with me.
Ford surprised me in this one…he selfishly wants Brian to talk again so he feels better about Brian’s recovery. Ford put unnecessary pressure on Brian and I really think it slowed Brian’s process. There were a couple of side characters that were nasty and I could have done without them.
My only complaint is the length…this one seemed needlessly long and I skimmed a couple of scenes. This is probably my favorite of the series but it looks like we’ll have more coming in the future.
