Midnight Promises by Addison Beck
Matteo • Theo
….
“You’re so special. One of a kind. My sanctuary.”
….
Midnight Promises is the second book in the Sinners Lament series but can be read technically as a standalone. We do met and come back to characters and places in book one, therefore I would really recommend reading book one for a better experience.
In the second installment we met (Father) Matteo and Theo who take us on a forbiddent rollercoaster full of emotion. A perfect fit, wrong in all the ways yet with an undeniable spiritual connection. How to make it work without hurting others in the process? One with a vow to God, the other with vows to Another.
We start with sadness, a friendship, a sort of kismet, giving in, a betrayal, an illicit affair that makes and breaks them. Breaking others in the process.
It isn’t my prerogative to judge or say what is right and what is wrong. Everyone has their conscience. Yet this book is a perfect example how fear, opinions and convenience plays a big role in making the first step to hurting others and hurting yourself the most.
I have to give it to the author for the last part of the book, the work put into growth before deciding what’s next. The talks, the road to redemption and being true to yourself.
Because at the end - honesty hurts but is ultimately the most rewarding.

“His presence enthralled me, from the way his eyes smoldered as they stared into my soul, to the lilt of his slightly accented voice as he preached.” // “My name coming from his lips sends shivers down my back.” // “He has a lot of freckles.” // “Our time together is kept like a secret, whispered in hushed tones around an empty field.” // “The only thing in my life I’ve ever had for myself.” // “All the time, precioso.” // “I want Theo for his soul. If I could give him pieces of me, I would.” // “They wouldn’t know how I burn for you.” // “Trapped happily in the prison we’ve willingly entered.” // “Because they’re something of his.” // “Maybe, just maybe, it’s finally our time.” …
