I received a copy of this for a fair and honest review. I have read a lot of vampire books in my day. They are by far my favorite of the Night Beings. I think that is why I was drawn to read this story. It did not take long for be to be pulled in the world and lives of Mare and Andre. It was so forbidden and passionate. One ancient vampire and one beautiful human woman. He wants to save her and she is doing her best to stay alive as she is being stalked in more ways than one. Is their love worth it or will she fall to the darkness that is hunting her. Grab a copy of this you will not be disappointed.
I absolutely loved this book!!! I loved the spin on vampire/human relationships. Andre is smart, driven and absolutely fallen in love with Mare. Danger and intrigue around every corner! This author definitely has a vivid imagination, and amazing talent. I’m definitely reading the rest of the series!
Loved this sexy vampire read. Can’t wait for the next one
At about 230 pages, I enjoyed reading this paranormal romance.
This was a good read. There were some slow parts but all in all a good read. The ending left me in suspense. I need to know what happens next.
Mare is a young woman whose life is in extreme danger. She witnessed a crime and testified against the wrong people. Now, they want her dead. But if they get their hands on her it won’t be a slow death that she gets. She doesn’t know it but she’s being watched by more than the ones who want to hurt her. She’s being watched by Andre, a vampire. He caught her scent and followed her. Now, he’s the one who stepped in to protect her. There is a connection between them, he can feel it. He doesn’t recognize it at first, but he soon puts the pieces together…this woman, this human female, is his mate. Piece by piece the enormity of the dangers that stalk Mare comes to light. Andre is determined to protect her, but at what cost is he willing to pay?
Dark Promise is an interesting story. The storyline moves at a fast pace, so make sure you buckle up and settle in. The story switches back and forth between Andre and Mare with each chapter. With Andre, the story is told from the third person perspective. With Mare, the story is told from the first person perspective. Everything moves quickly with this story. The romance hits hard as Andre feels a strong attraction to Mare. She feels something for him too, but I think that initially, it is more of a “hero complex” than anything coupled with her physical attraction to him. I like how the story is structured. There is the main threat that is against Mare, but then there is another that comes later. It keeps me engaged in the story and eager for more.
While I enjoyed this story, I find I take issue with some elements of the story. Mare is being threatened by someone who wants her very dead. Her brother, who has been out of town, shows up. Both she and Andre, know that these people who are hunting her are not to be trifled with. So, I find it odd and disturbing that when her brother goes out and is gone for hours, that Andre is dismissive of it. Mare seems only slightly concerned because she only says something a couple of times. Then when the situation escalates, they both remain…lackadaisical. These are not empty threats against her, but they act like she is the only one these people will target. Mare is supposed to be so “family focused” but she doesn’t act like it when it matters most. I like this overall storyline, but there are moments of where I truly question the characters and their mindset. It seems at times that they are more wrapped up in each other despite barely knowing each other. I felt Mare should be more concerned for her brother. These aren’t ordinary people that they are dealing with and I felt she should act accordingly and not simply take Andre at his word when he says “Your brother can take care of himself.” I already know that he’d have a completely different tune if he and the brother were out somewhere and Mare was by herself while they were doing the investigating. He’d be breaking his neck to get back to her if she didn’t respond to a text or phone call.
I enjoyed this story overall. It is engaging, fast-paced, the romance is fast, steamy and makes this book a solid romance and hard to put down. I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. The storyline is well done. The romance happens quickly, but what irks me is the discrepancy with Mare in her attitude toward her brother. He’s all that she has, but then she doesn’t push when she knows he could be in danger. I expected more from her in that aspect of the story. This book ends on a cliffhanger, but it just makes me eager for the next book in the series.

He’s her savior but can he protect her from the fiendish character who enjoys seeing her scared? Andre is attracted to Mere who he saves from an attack but the relationship is one that is forbidden between him and humans. This is such a romantically sweet story that will draw you in.
