This book picks up where that stunning cliffhanger in Cruel Lies left off.
The plot and storyline still just as intense.
Still gripping and utterly captivating.
Ms. Summers writing style is perfection.
It had me holding my breath and my heart roaring.
The twists and turns are freaking mind boggling!
I fell more in love with Caspian than I already was.
And Willow has a piece of my heart.
The lies going on and the secrets being kept are nerve racking.
The suspense and drama are thrilling.
Usually for me book 2 of a duet isn’t as impactful as bk1.
But that is absolutely not the case here!
Everything was just as dynamic and explosive and the previous book.
With some holy amazeballs I did not see that coming moments.
I’m so freaking thrilled and excited to have discovered Ms. Summers.
I will definitely be reading more of her books!

Satisfying conclusion.
What a relief to get to the end. So much intrigue, lies and betrayal. Willow and Caspian were both broken characters with so much darkness but who brought light to each other’s lives. I really loved their story and hope we get to see a little more of them in Lucian and Eilish’s story.

Whoa!!! The second book did not disappoint!!! The danger is real now for Willow and Caspian will defy his father if needed to save her. We finally find out what made Caspian into the man he is today and
that just makes you like him more and more. Caspian will not give Willow up and now he must work behind his father's back to save her, find out who killed his brother and make sure she is safe. The more they dig they find years worth of secrets and intrigue and once it starts to unravel no one is safe.
I love the pulse pounding twists and turns and and the love that could not die between Caspian and Willow. So good!!!!!!!!!!I received this ARC from Bad Boy Updates.

Cruel Promises gives us the much anticipated conclusion to the Cruel Secrets duet- and Faith Summers drives straight back into this mafia, new adult/bully arrangement marriage story with a bang. It’s soapy and dramatic and full of twists- just like I’ve come to expect from this author and her intense stories.
There is just so much promise to this story- and it certainly was entertaining. From the volatile relationships of our leading characters, all the action and drama relating to their family secrets and past pains, the dynamic ensemble secondary cast, and all the emotional turmoil and intensity- well, it’s a great combination for an addictive storyline. But, at times this story didn’t quite deliver for me- this conclusion felt rushed in places, with key elements glossed over, and at times things felt overly drawn out- there’s just a lot going on, and with a bit of a tighter focus this would have been a slam dunk for me. That said, I still enjoyed the read- and there’s plenty of that aggressive, dark and dubious dynamic between our main characters that kept me invested. Certainly looking forward to more from this author.

For me, Cruel Promises, scratch that Cruel Secrets Duet deserves 10 million stars. I know I sound corny but this story had everything I could hope for in a book and more;

wild ride
Wow crazy! After the end of the first book I thought the betrayal and destruction couldn’t get worse as Willow and Caspian look for answers but I was wrong. As it gets closer to Willow’s birthday and her marriage to Caspian things are coming at her from all sides that she has to lean on Caspian and forgive him for his betrayal. And once she does and they open their hearts to each other they are unstoppable.
It was a wild ride reading this duet but I absolutely loved it!

I had a hard time getting through this one. I’m frustrated because I typically really enjoy this authors brand of dark mafia romance.
This just missed the mark for me hard. I was trying to hang in there but when the h was continuously overcome by body betrayal syndrome it just all went down hill.
