The intensity of theses men is out of this world. Cole especially!! Austin and Cole are the middle of a life and dear situation. Most Austin life.
Still this book is not enough to satisfy my need for this world. That has captured my addiction of drama.
Is there any doubt that Shantel Tessier can suck you into a book? I Promise You is no exception, so hang on while you go in deep again with the GWS. You will definitely need to read book 1 first, I Dare You. There were so many answered questions in this book but damn if there are even more questions that I need answered now. What a ride this book takes you on. I can’t wait for the 3rd book now. Gah, so many questions and I don’t want to give any away …but wtf was ‘the girl’ , whose baby, wtf is Liam up to…. Deke and Becky …. what have you done Shantel? *emotions all over the place*
First off… if you didn’t read book #1 I Dare You, you need to! I Promise You picks up where I Dare You left off.
Shantel did an amazing job blowing my mind again.
This dark romance is full of the angst that I love.
I was totally on the edge of my seat nail biting. Love the characters! Love the story line! I can’t wait for the next book!
Solid 5 star read
Holy freaking crap!
First off make sure you read I Dare You before starting this book!!
Shantel did it again with this book, it was absolutely amazing! There were so many things I never saw coming, twist and turns everywhere. I don’t want to spoil anything so I won’t say too much.
I loved every minute of this book, I highly recommend reading it and anxiously awaiting the next book in this series!
I Promise You is the second book in Shantel Tessier Dare Series and what can you say but Incredible. The story continues with Cole & Austin but as told in Cole’s POV making it even more edgier and angsty. You will be on the edge of your seat as you turn the pages to see what happens next. There are so many twists and turns that will have you gasping out loud, putting down the kindle to take a break but when you come back the story only gets better and more intense. The only two words I didn’t want to see was The End because you don’t want it to end at all.
Secrets on top of secrets are still being kept.
This book begins at the ending of I Dare You, so make sure you read that book first!
I loved this book. The book is split into three POVs. We get to see Cole, Bennett, and Deke tell their side of the story.
This book reveals more information about the sharks and then presents new secrets. It basically just sucks you into this world more and has you needing Bennett’s and Deke’s books immediately.
I’m nervous about their books. Don’t get me wrong. They are going to be AMAZING!! But…oh man… I know they are going to be intense, suspenseful, and more secrets will threaten to destroy their world before anything gets better!
-An ARC was given for an honest review.-
I Promise You is the second book in the Dare Series and should be read after I Dare You. This was full of lies, deceit and so many twists and turns. Questions from the previous book were answered but now I have more! Can’t wait to read the next book!
I Promise You was another delicious read in the GWS series by Shantel Tessier. It answered many questions that weren’t answered in I Dare You and provided insight into scenes we weren’t necessarily privy to in the first book. I loved being in Deke and Cole’s head and could not get enough of these boys!
Anyone who knows me knows that I loved I Dare You so when I saw that the author was making a book two I could not jump on this fast enough. I loved learning the secrets of the accident and being in Cole and Deke’s heads but would consider this a 1.5 novel or a companion novel as it really wasn’t a book on it’s own. It did however, definitely hype up Deke and Becky’s drama and the anticipation of their book. Now I cant wait for more! ~Ratula, 4 Stars
WOW!! I was seriously speechless when I finished & had to take some time to think how I can tell u how fantastic a book this is without giving anything away!! Shantel has found her calling with dark, demented stories. She can write twists & turns so well, I think she may be the best ever!!!! OMG we begin this book with the huge gut wrenching incident that had us wondering how could she end IDU the way she did. I literally sat there going what, how, what at the end of the prior book & I’m doing this again, but also wondering what the next story is going to give us. The multi POVs in this story lets us see what so many people are thinking. This GWS group is demented, dark & willing to do whatever they want at any point. Cole is one dark alpha out to protect those he loves no matter the cost. I could not put this book down & was not ready for it to come to an end. I highly recommend this book. Must, must read by far!!!!
OMG! That’s what I said to myself multiple times while reading as I was also picking up my jaw. Before I go any further, it has to be said, you need to read book one, I Dare You, before you read this one! If not, you will uncover some spoilers from book one for yourself before you even read it. Although this one picks up where the cliffhanger in book one left off, there are quite a few flashbacks to pivotal plot points from book one.
Told through the POVs of Cole, Deke, and Bennett, we get so much more back story into the Great White Sharks (GWS), their history, things they’ve done, and how everyone is interconnected. If you’ve read I Dare You and thought some bombs were dropped during that storyline, boy are you in for a shock! There are so many more secrets that come to light in I Promise You. Some of them are real doozies, too.
I was not much of a fan of Deke during I Dare You. After reading I Promise You, and getting Deke’s POV, I am liking him a little more and am also intrigued about who exactly he is and what makes him tick. I really hope he gets his own story so this can be explored. Book two ends in quite a cliffhanger revolving around Bennett, another GWS who seems to be more of a mystery than originally let on. I can’t wait to see what happens next with him and the message he got at the end of this book.
All of the main characters are days/weeks shy of graduating. They are all 18 but are still in high school. Due to that and the violent and sexual nature this storyline often takes, it won’t be one for everyone. However, if you enjoy this genre, the writing is so good and the storyline so mature it is often easy to forget the age of the characters. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more from the GWS!
*I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is my honest review.*
This is the follow up to I dare you and answers quite a lot of questions I had from that.Cole and Austin’s story is fast paced,action packed and as with book one had my head spinning.What else I liked is that you also get more of Deke and I can’t wait for his book.
When I read I dare you when it came out, I fell in love with all the characters , the story and the games.
This time round it’s the same, I fell in love with them over again. Your feelings and emotions will be all over the place throughout the book.
This book is told by three povs, Cole, Bennett and Deke.
If you haven’t read I dare you then I suggest you read that one first as you will be completely confused reading this one as it goes through the events of what happened in book one. People may think that it’s repetitive but I like that the author did this as it refreshes you of what has happened.
In I dare you, we saw the dark side to Cole but in this book we see a more humanised, lighter version to him. The way he is with Austin and how she is getting the respect she deserves.
I dare you was filled with lots of consequences, blood shed, retribution, and a love reunion just waiting to happen.
I promise you was full of dramas, lies and bombshells that will have you double checking what you just read. I know that I did that towards the end of the book.
I’m dying to know who a certain shark is sleeping with?
More on The huge bombshell between deke and Becky that I didn’t see coming.
Shantel has delivered yet another book i have loved, I am left wondering what on earth she is going to do next. I can’t wait for deke book coming up next.
*This is book 2 in the Dare series and you Must read book 1 first.
Cole, Deke, Bennett and Kellan are the GWS- Great White Sharks. They take what they want, when they want. They hunt, kill, and destroy. Cole wanted to play with Austin, break her. But then he did something far worse- he fell in love with her. The Sharks all still have their secrets. You may think you know everything- but your wrong.
I absolutely loved loved loved this book. It was dark, twisted and oh so good. This book is in mostly Cole’s and Deke’s point of view, and you get a glimpse of what goes on in their heads, and the secrets the sharks harbor. I feel deeper for Cole, and LOVED seeing Deke, and cannot wait for his book! I may end up rereading both I Dare You & I Promise You just to stay with these characters and try to piece everything together. If you like Dark YA romance reads then you need to read these books! 5 out of 5.
“I can be your f*cking god – merciful. Or I can be the f*king devil – ruthless.”
The sharks are back, and still as dangerous as ever. I Promise you by Shantel Tessier is gritty, raw, and just sinfully good. With an all male, all shark, multi-POV, you get more of the world you loved, with twice the dark details. Even knowing some of what was going on from already having read the scene from another perspective in I Dare You, I was reading completely on the edge of my seat. You think you know this story, but you can’t, and you don’t. Expect jaw-dropping revelations, eye-opening surprises, and so much more. Get ready to fall for this world all over again. The lust, the angst, the danger, the brutality, this book checks off all the boxes!
I Promise You picks up after I Dare You filling in some of the blanks, answering some of the big questions, but in all actuality creates MORE questions. What really made this story for me was having it from the guys’ POV. I loved seeing the change in Cole that only Austin can bring, and his realization of what she means to him. His reverence and devotion was EVERYTHING. When Cole loves, he loves hard and brutally. Getting to know the guys better and the history and the tension of the group adds so much to this series. This book does end in a heart stopping cliffhanger that has me dying for the next installment! Immerse yourself back into the world of deception, calculation, lust, and murder. The game has changed, and you’re not going to want to miss this! Enjoy babes, xo.
I Promise You is book 2 in the dare series.
PLEASE PLEASE read book 1 first I dare you. As you really do need too.
What a book it is woah! This book I feel like I been put through the ringer my feelings. This book is told from 3 different POV Cole, Bennett, Deke. we get answers that were left from book 1 I don’t want to go into details as you really don’t want to spoil things for anyone. Just know it is MUST read with great characters you will either love or hate them or love to hate them I really like these guys I can’t wait for more. Very well written and sucks you in from the start.
I really think this is Shantels best series to date so far
This book kept me up just to see what would happen next. I loved this books and can’t wait for everyone to read this book! If you have read I Dare You then you know the GWS, and know how they are, and then you know this book with be action packed with all them.
This is the 2nd book in the series and Wow what a mind twisted thriller this is told in a 3 POV you have Bennett, cole, and deke telling their story of what happened when Austin was shot and a little back history! Loved the drama and I’m more ready to see more from dekes book!
You’ll love this book, I Promise You
*I PROMISE YOU IS NOT A STANALONE YOU HAVE TO READ I DARE YOU BEFOREHAND*
I Promise You is told mostly in Cole’s POV, with some chapters dedicated to Deke’s POV.
I Promise You offers all the dark, angsty, sinfully deliciousness as I Dare You.
Secrets are revealed, but also more lies and deceit. THE DRAMA! LOVE IT!
I didn’t think it would get much better that I Dare You, man was I wrong.
Can’t wait for If You Dare!
If you liked I dare you, you’ll want to get your hands on this gem. This book was nothing what I expected it to be. It was sooo much more. Shantel totally outdid herself with this. So many twists and turns-just when I thought I had a character figured out, she threw another zinger in there. You must read I dare you first. Cole and Austin had quite the rough road to get to where they are. I can’t wait to see how their story continues in Deke’s book. Plus there is so much more. This book was AMAZING. 5 stars isn’t enough.
I started this book with so many questions and ended it with more. While most of the ones from I Dare You were answered in this book, I promise you opened a whole new door and raised a brand new batch of WTF???
I loved seeing Cole in love and so honest and raw about it, its going to be fun watching him discover this new side to himself.
Another bonus of this book is……. I CAN NOT WAIT to see how down, dirty and ruthless Deke is capable of being…..I have a feeling it will be epic.
So looking forward to see what the Sharks get up to next and how they navigate these new waters.
