There are some complicated emotions and questions running through this story. Questions about how long the grieving process can take and what “moving on” can mean, how one can earn a second chance and when one is demanding too much from a mate, how do you convince someoneA really great use of a detective character and a fated mate in a paranormal story. Remi and Peter have an amazing, instant connection and the idea of Peter needing Remi emotionally/physically for balance and for protection from the coven was a really interesting plot device. you really care. Jeremiah and Kristoff have some real barriers to their HEA, but that makes it all the hotter and sweeter.
Kristoff is not only the Beta for the Tolliver pack but he is also Peter’s uncle. To add to that, he has been in love with the alpha, Jeremiah for years. Jeremiah has ignored that Kristoff is his mate until Kristoff leaves and Jeremiah realizes exactly what he is letting go. As these two come together, an enemy comes forward that is determined to destroy them.
I absolutely LOVED IT!!!!! It was AMAZING!!!! I loved every single character and how the story progressed. I loved how Jeremiah finally realised how much he needed Kristoff and never gave up getting him back. I could feel every single emotion from the characters. No matter what happened they stuck together and got their HEA. The intimacy between them was SEXY & HOT. I could not stop reading. I can not wait to see what happens next. Deja Black well done on an amazing book.
3.5*
This second book is in my opinion a little more angsty than the first, in previous books I thought that Kristoff was icy and closed off, where as Jeremiah was strong and loving even when still grieving his wife, but even in the first 10% of the book, we find that Kristoff is in fact a sensitive wolf who feels guilty over being distracted, by the way Jeremiah has been pushing and pulling over the attraction between them, leaving him feeling as the only choice left was to leave. I get that to some degree Jeremiah is still grieving but his wife died many years before, so he has been a bit of a jerk to Kristoff and his feelings. I would have liked it more if Jeremiah had come for Kristoff before learning of the threat, rather than Kristoff being left feeling that the threat is the reason he came for him. Overall though this is a book in the series worth reading.
I thought Broken Promises was a great book. I liked the werewolves in this story and how they live for a long time. I was expecting kids, not grandchildren, but that was ok. I think I got into the series in the middle and I didn’t have a problem enjoying and reading this book. It was an interesting romance and I thought it developed neatly. I loved their romance, Kristoff and Jeremiah definitely had sparks and I loved how they figured it all out. I would recommend this book.
