TITLE: Cruel Promise
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
AUTHOR: Daniela Romero
TROPE: Brother's Best Friend, Sports Romance
TYPE: Standalones (Boys of Sun Valley Book 4)
POV: Dual POV
MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 / 5
Cruel Promise is part two of Dom & Kasey's story. I liked a lot about Dom & Kasey's relationship, including the struggle to understand their feelings towards each other and other family twists that kept things interesting. I have always been a fan of a good cliffhanger that left me frustrated with the wait for the next book while also showing how invested in the story I was, but the ending of Cruel Devil and Cruel Promise felt more like an abrupt end, just an abrupt stop with no closure. The first two books in the series did a much better job with the endings. The author's notes at the end of the book say that part three is coming to Dom & Kasey's story, but honestly, I hope the spinoff series Boys of Richland does a better job of the endings. For these reasons, I am giving Cruel Promise a rating of 3.5 / 5 stars.
