The Promise of Tomorrow by Candice M. WrightMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Running From a Dangerous Past
I would probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This contemporary reverse harem has some quite dark and gritty moments. It’s subject matter includes things that might trigger an adverse response in some people, as there is discussion of the effects of child abuse, torture and rape. If this subject matter would cause a negative emotional reaction, I would suggest that you give this book a miss.
This book follows Eden, a 21 year old stripper, who ran away from her police officer step-father when she was 15. She has been living quietly, using a false name and ID ever since, until Eli and Noah, who work for Malcolm the solicitor in the two previous books in this series, are sent to uncover her whereabouts. Taking the word of a retired police officer, it never occurs to them that revealing Eden’s whereabouts could put her in harms way.
After Eden is run off the road, Mason, the bouncer at the strip club where she worked, insists on keeping her safe. Eli and Noah feeling terrible for their mistake also want to help. This starts a long game of cat and mouse, with false leads and alibis creating confusion and torment.
I liked Eden, she was strong, despite her history. She loved stripping as it gave her sexual power from a place of safety, plus she just loved to pole dance. She was really brave in the way she grabbed onto her happiness with the guys, despite what other people may think.
All the characters were interesting with complex backstories and I also liked that the harem didn’t snap perfectly into place instantly. There were hiccups, which I really liked as they had to be worked through.
It was interesting seeing the characters from the previous books in the series all interacting and giving each other friendship and support. It also gave a little taste of what came after the HEA for those characters.
This book takes you on a bit of a roller coaster emotionally, but it’s worth the ride. It keeps you interested through a complex plot and intriguing characters. It’s well worth a read.
