The laws are simple for witches and vampires: Falling in love is forbidden.
As interim Regent to the witches of Sterling, Chelsea Greaves has an image to maintain and laws to uphold. But it didn’t stop her from breaking the most sacred order and falling in love with a vampire. If they’re caught in a torrid affair, the witches will have her hung and burned. It’s him, or the witches—and her fear … him, or the witches—and her fear is calling the shots.
Lucien Frost always had it all as a King of Sterling. Except the girl. He spent the better part of a decade in limbo with Chelsea, and each time he watched her walk away, he lost a part of himself. But when the line is finally crossed, and Chelsea’s secrets revealed, he questions whether she’s worth more heartbreak—or if it’s time to walk away for good.
When the cost of falling in love is death, will Lucien and Chelsea risk all to follow their hearts, or will they call it quits to save themselves?
If you love fast-paced forbidden paranormal romance, vampire alphas, and sassy heroines, then you’ll love this refreshing new twist on witches and vampires in the first in the Kings of Sterling series.

Some rules are just made to be broken, again and again! Sex, violence, alcohol and bullies with a touch of death. Bit jumpy for the first book in the series. The back story was a bit confusing and would be great as a prequel. Love the story and can’t wait for the others to find loves of their own.

A CONFUSED AND COMPLICATED STORY
Vampire Lucien Frost (one of the King of Sterling town) is in love with beautiful witch Chelsea Greaves.
But their love is forbidden by the Rules that govern the town..
Lucien and Chelsea have to hide their love the best they can.
It’s not always easy…
——————
For me it was a quite complicated paranormal love story to read.
I didn’t like the first half of the book (for many reasons).
It’s only from a certain event occurring in the middle of the book that I began to get involved with this story.
I received this ARC and this is my honest review.
PS : at the end of the book, you’re going to find the first chapter of book two.
Honestly I read it and I found it very good with such an interesting character (Juliette)…
Finally I might read book two…
Chelsea and Lucian have had an on-again-off-again relationship for 7 years. Louisa is one of the Elders who are over the witches of Sterling and Chelsea is the Madame Rerent of Sterling. Lucian is the King of Sterling and of the vampires. With their relationship, they have to keep it secret. There is a rule that states that witches and vampires are not allowed to be together if found they would be put to death. Juliette is the one who is supposed to be Regent but she has been in hiding for the last 17 years. This is what Louisa holds over Chelsea’s head to control her. The one thing Lucian has always wanted from Chelsea is her trust and he finds out that she has known where Juliette has been. He asks her why she has never told him about Louisa holding this over her head. He said it was because she did not trust him with the information and if she did not trust him there was nothing left for him to give her and tells her it is over between them.
Will Chelsea realizes that with Lucian she is safe or will she stay away from him this time?
Can Lucian prove to Chelsea that he will be there to protect her always?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.
I received an ARC of this book for my voluntarily and honest review.
The book is a good paranormal romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.
I read the whole book in a few hours. It kept me intrigued and wanting to know what happens next. It felt a bit similar to Twilight in some ways, but more geared towards adults. I enjoyed the concept. I appreciated that it was a quick read, and I know this is set up as a series, but it felt like things that are likely in the book to follow should have been in this book. Additionally, it had several errors with spelling and grammar, which was hard to overlook. I will likely read the rest of the series to really figure out what happens though 🙂

Blood of a Promise has a very promising and interesting premise. Witches and vampires are forbidden to fall in love. The town of Sterling is run and financed by the vampiric Frost brothers but the laws are governed by witches.
Such an intriguing mythology and history rich story in this first of the Kings of Sterling series starts off with the promise it suggestion.
Lucien Frost is a sexy , powerful vampire who’s always loved Chelsea Greaves but what they share can get them both killed. The story is rife with tension and clandestine meetings. Such a fun and exciting ride, I can’t wait to see what happens next in Sterling and with the sexy Frost brothers.
Such a phenomenal read!!! Strong characters, awesome storyline, and plenty of sexiness!!!!
I can’t wait to read book 2!!!!!
BLOOD OF A PROMISE KEPT ME WONDERING IS LOVE ENOUGH. WHEN LAWS BECOME OUTDATED WHAT IS ONE TO DO? WHEN PAST MEETS PRESENT AND MAKING PEACE COMES AT A PRICE.

Chelsea is regent of the witches of Sterling. She is dealing with her past and having to deal with the elder Louisa. She is also hiding a deadly secret, she is in love with a vampire.
Lucien is the King of Vampires of Sterling, he will do whatever he has to keep Chelsea save from the witches. He stand by her side in all things in her life. He will not let the witches keep killing vampires due to their law not the vampires
Chelsea will have to go a lot of what she wants, if she is willing to put her fears behind her to keep the man she loves.
This was a nice read, you will be taken through the trials of two people having a forbidden relationship. You will enjoy the book.

Denied her heart’s desire for decades, Chelsea Greaves, witch, was done. Done with being held back by societal mores, done with being held back by her own fears. Chelsea was done. Fifty years had passed, while Chelsea waited, afraid to follow her heart. Well, no more! But Chelsea’s wants and desires aren’t in line with the demands of her position as Interim Regent. The laws were adamant: witches and vampires do not mix.
“He whispered, “You are my everything. My world. Nothing I won’t do for you. Forever.”” – Lucien
Lucien Frost loves Chelsea Greaves; he has since the first moment they met. But Lucien is frustrated by the stolen moments and being forced to hide his feelings for Chelsea. Lucien knows if the truth of their relationship were to be commonly known, both would be executed for breaking the laws… Those archaic, restrictive laws!
“With each step her chest constricted trying to hold back tears. Lucien would always be the one. The man that stole her heart and consumed her soul.” – Chelsea
Malevolent forces gather, altering perceptions and spreading unrest, forcing Chelsea and Lucien apart… Evil machinations slither from within the shadows, churning and turning, driving tensions between the races ever higher… Until their world is sundered anew….
A haunting tale, with characters that struggle to find peace within themselves and each other; Chelsea is frightened of the consequences of her actions, Lucien is devil may care. Will these two compromise, or will happiness be forever out of their reach?
This is an interesting story with Vampires and Witch falling in love. The author does a fantastic job developing the story and pulls you in with the intriguing story line. She gives the characters a hot chemistry and creates enough drama to keep you glued to the pages. It’s well written with detailed scenes. I enjoyed and would recommend reading.
