TatumWalls. I have built them high to protect myself. I had to. I got tired of being hurt and having my heart shattered. Brick by brick, I toughened myself, hardened on the outside. I don’t show affection, I don’t smile or laugh easily, but I can still hurt. My family are the only people I let in and truly see me. But I left them to chase my dreams. I’m not here to make friends; I simply want to … simply want to do the job I was hired to do. To model.
But now, the new racer for Royal King doesn’t seem to take a hint. Why won’t he just leave me alone? And more than that, why do I seem to become so undone every time he’s around?
Walls. He’s breaking them down one by one. And I’m letting him. It feels good to give him my coveted smiles. Just please, don’t hurt my heart…
Benton
My passion. I left my life in England to follow my passion: racing motorcycles. I’m keeping my focus and my eye on the prize. Not just because I want it, can taste it even, but because my dad owns the company. It’s his name and reputation on the line as much as mine, and I can’t let either of us down. “Be smart. Be wise. Then, be fast.”
The moment I see the fire in her eyes, I know I want to catch fire with her. I’ll earn every smile I can get from her. She’s my good luck charm now. She’s who I want to see when I cross the finish line. It doesn’t feel right when she’s not there, but she keeps pushing me away.
I’m here to do a job. I can’t afford to lose sight of that. I can’t let her interfere with my passion and my dreams. I can’t focus on the fact that she isn’t here. I need to win this. I need to win it all. Including her…

Where do I begin, I’ve loved Tatum from the beginning – she has always beat to her own drum and tried to live her best life, but curveballs come. She has built walls up to protect herself after losing her mom as a teenager and her dad being a complete jerk. She has a great brother & stepdad that give her a safe place to fall. She goes to model and meets Benton, but he has to break down walls she has carefully constructed. His dad throws a wrench into this, but comes full circle as a person. I’ve loved all the books so much, but these two are my favorite!
Tatum and Benton. British accent, tattoos and motorcycles? Yes! I loved watching Benton try and break down that tough exterior of Tatum’s. Tatum’s distance and fighting spirit both frustrated me and broke my heart. Someone with such a deep ability to love her family but keeping everyone at a distance called to my spirit. I love Benton’s inability to be discouraged by her antics. The development of the relationship between the two was like a balm. I have loved watching the growth of these characters since book one, and Tatum’s story did not disappoint.
Book one is still my absolute favorite in this series. And if you haven’t read it, you should definitely start here. Take the time to fall in love with Travis first.
This story is about Tatum and Benton. They meet and sparks fly. They kiss. And that’s the end.
For a whole year.
Nothing.
Then she back and they see each other across a hotel restaurant.
Then it’s game on.
I enjoyed how this story overlapped a tiny bit of Ollie’s story, but Lindsay didn’t go back and repeat anything. It’s literally just the timeline overlapping. I thought this was nicely done. Some authors don’t manage to do this well at all and it makes me want to skip pages. No complaints on this one.
This story was well written and very sweet. No cheating either.
I highly recommend this book as well as this entire series.
Lindsay Becs writing is absolutely amazing, this lady definitely knows how to make you feel. It may be sad, maybe a little mad and definitely happy tears! This book revolves around Tatum and Benton (he’s mine…yummy) Benton is this hot AF English bike racer and Tatum is a sassy model for his team. If you read book 2 you would have found out at then end of it Tatum’s little surprise which then I was finding myself speed reading to find out when that happened, Lindsay’s books are one of the few I can binge and get done in a day because her writing flows so great! If you love romance with some twists of course then check out the Always series
Again! Again, again! Such an amazing story!!!! I freaking loved Tatums story, she so lived up to her personality! We saw her as a sweet little girl and slowly she turned into the witty and smart mouthed beauty who takes no shit! I love her toughness but also her want to be cared for and cherished. She has definitely had some tough things thrown at her but she has made herself stronger for them as well. She’s super badass and fierce and caring. She’s not a fool and she knows what she wants and grabs into it with no regrets. I’m kind of jealous of how awesome she is! Her dreams are coming true as she is chosen for her dream job and gets to travel the world with an extremely successfully company. She’s got this. But in strolls Benton King, tattooed and pierced and cocky as all heck. He gets on Tatums nerves immediately and doesn’t stop pushing her until he has her right where he wants her. This man is freaking HOT! He’s literally the guy who gets what he sets his mind to. He’s also just such a good guy!!! God the things he does for Tatum and the risks be takes are so ridiculously sweet! At first their attraction is short lived, many things seem to get in the way. But have no fear Lindsay gives these two the happy ending they deserve. Not without some serious twists and heartache along the way however! I just adored their love and connection and unstoppable chemistry! They are hot hot hot are truly meant to be!! Again ALL the loveable characters are back and making this series simply the best!!! Lindsay Becs
Promise Me Always is the third book in Lindsay Bec’s “Always” series. I was really ready for Tatum’s story. After losing her mother, I was curious as to how her story would go. I love a good accidental pregnancy book! And I loved Benton- and how much he loved Tatum. I loved how Tatum matured throughout the story.
I can’t wait to continue this series~
Always and forever
Such a lovely fun story !
I loved Tatum and Benny ! Benny is such a cool charmer and fun loving marshmallowy tough guy haha
Loved him
I loved tatums character and how it developed – she never lost her strength even after finding her need for her man and I loved that .
I’m loving the always series . This group of characters are such a great mix and a wonderful family to read about and engage with !
Lindsay’s writing style is really great , engaging and captivating and leaves me wanting more! More words !!
I could not wait for Tatum and she didn’t disappoint. The book gave you all the emotions. Push and pull. Angsty. Laugh out loud. Tatum is so full of sass and I just loved her. Benton was a perfect partner. I love this family and never want it to end.
I love Tatum and Benton. Tatum knows what she wants. I love Benton. Hes a good guy wrapped in a bad boys body. Hes got the tattoos, piercing (yum), and a motorcycle. But he proves to Tatum hes a good man. He supports her with her work and in parenthood.
This is the third installment of the series, and lindsay Becs did it again. This book pulls you in and makes you think your their with the characters and you can just feel everything. Once you start you will never be able to stop
Tatum & Benny such the perfect pair. Such a sweet love story from about two people who don’t realize they are looking for there favorite person. Most definitely a feel good book to read.
I absolutely loved this book! I had so many feels while reading, and it def doesnt help that i’m prego, cause this girl was a bawling mess while reading. This series is def one of my favorites out there and I just love all the characters and that in each seperate book you still get a glimspe at how the characters in the previous books are doing. Tatum and Benton have some seriously hot chemistry together! I love their story. They def had some ups and downs and challenges and thats what I love in a good book!
I NEED MORE PAGES!!! This series is only of my favorite, EVER, and I couldn’t get enough. I kept hitting the button hoping that the book around never end!! When we found out about Tatum and her woe’s at the end of Always There I instantly knew I was going to LOVE her story! All we knew was that she was going to model for some sort of racing brand. We were let with SO FEW DETAILS! lolol
Tatum is sooooo bad a$$!!!! I love everything about her, from her sass, to her curves, to her bluntness, just all of it. She’s THE total package! And the fact that she just tells Benton to get out of her way? GO TATUM! I loved seeing so many sides to her. She knew when to be the family person and do everything for them, but they she knew how to be the sex kitten model too! Seeing her string Benton along was hysterical and exactly what Tatum needed to do! I also loved seeing the emotional, vulnerable side to Tatum. Lindsay is so good at conveying so many different emotions with her characters. We basically have seen Tatum grow, and I love who she’s become.
Then of course we have Benton. He was not AT ALL what I expected. From the beginning he had me cracking up with his cockiness, but it was the spark between him and Tatum that was sooo good!!! These two were FIRE together! From the moment we see them at the photo shoot together, I knew Lindsay was going to give us some good stuff! They had a really unique relationship, but at the same time, it was super fitting for the world that Benton lived in.
I also love that this book was a complete emotional rollercoaster. My favorite part about Lindsay’s writing is how emotional it is. And I don’t just mean sad, I mean you truly get every emotion. She does it so well! You don’t know whether you are reading something that is fiction or non-fiction because of how she tells it! That being said, there were some hard moments that, of course, made me cry. There were also so many moments where I was cracking up! The humor and the spunk between Tatum and Benton was so good! And we cannot forget our amazing Lucky Penny, Ollie and Travis. Seeing them again made this book that much better. I love getting to see their family interact, bring in some of the bombs that are dropped on us, and it’s that much better.
I desperately don’t want this series to end. I feel like it is something that can just keep going on. I feel like I’m now apart of this crazy family!
4.5 Star read!
Promise Me Always (Book 3) is the third installment in the Always series and, in my opinion, the best to date! You will need to read this series in order, in order to get the full story without any spoilers! I loved seeing Tatum all grown up, sassy and gorgeous but with walls a mile thick protecting her heart. And can we talk about Benton, a sexy-as-sin Brit motorcycle racer with tattoos and attitude for days??!! Mmmmmmmm, yummy! When these two meet, the chemistry is EXPLOSIVE, to say the least!
I thoroughly enjoyed all the push-pull in this steamy, emotional and slightly angsty, sometimes hilarious read. Tatum, who’s experienced heartbreak in the past doesn’t want or need a man in her life (or so she thinks!) and Benton has his sights set on her and won’t take no for an answer! He’s intrigued with her and is determined to scale those walls around her heart! Ms. Becs has written these characters in such a way that I was invested from the beginning and I needed to find out if Benton would succeed in his quest to fulfill his dreams of winning it all…both in his racing AND his heart’s desire!
I loved how you get updates on Travis and Ollie and that little spit-fire Penny! I can’t wait to see what future books will bring! All-in-all this one will leave you with the warm-and-fuzzies and is definitely worth the time to read! I look forward to more from this up-and-coming author!
This family will forever hold a special place in my heart. They’ve endured and overcome so much. The love, laughter, and theme of family us what always makes me devour this authors books. She has created a world that is very real and you are very much a part of. The laughter and tears always make the story that much better.
Tatum has always been a strong character from the beginning. She is a female this is feared by both males and females. But, even the best of us fall sometimes. She struggles with things, but never lets it show. She needs someone to challenger her, and with Benton she has met her match.
Benton is a tough, hard guy to get to know. He’s used to getting what he wants and he wants Tatum. They have their ups and several downs, but he becomes exactly what Tatum needs.
This book brings you back to the family that is unconventional, but so full of love and laughter. The excitement never ends, and I cannot wait for the next part to come out.
Lindsay Becs latest offering in the Always Series is Promise Me Always, and is Tatum and Benton’s story….and what a story!! I think Tatum and Benton may be my favorite, or at least right up there with Ollie and Bexley!! Tatum is a model for a racing company, and she’s off travelling and working, she meets Benton who is one of the racers and there is an immediate connection between them, Benton loves how snarky Tatum is, and doesn’t take any crap. I loved the verbal sparring between Tatum and Benton and well everybody, Lindsay gives you all the feels, from laugh out loud to crying your eyes out…she does it all…and she does it very well!! I love Tatum and Benton and can’t wait for the next installment from the AWEMAZING Lindsay Becs!! Everybody needs to read this series, you will be very glad you did!!
Omg. Im even more in love with this series. I don’t know how she does it but i fall even more in love with it. Tatum wasn’t my favorite of the characters but she grew on me this book! And Bentley *swoon* ugh the motorcycle and everything. Yup. Wipes drool off chin…. this was such a good follow up from Ollie’s story. And i love this author makes sure to keep all the other characters involved! I can’t wait for Penny’s story!
