He always keeps his promises.
Angelina
has sacrificed everything to be with the man she loves. Forced to abandon her
family, and even her own identity, Angelina depends on Haithem as never before.
With no more secrets between them, Haithem has become the source of all her
needs. Sexually. Emotionally.
But not
even Haithem can hide forever.
While
they're sneaking across borders, avoiding persecution from everyone who would
see Haithem dead and his prototype stolen, the media fascination surrounding
Angelina's disappearance continues to mount.
For
Angelina, it's a brutal reminder of what she's left behind and the pain she's
caused to those who believe her dead or held against her will.
To Haithem,
it's a warning: he stands to lose the one person left in his life he loves
beyond measure. The hunt won't be called off until his enemies have destroyed
him, his life's work and everyone involved—including Angelina.
He has only
one choice. He's promised to protect her. And Haithem always keeps his
promises.
At the start of
Didn't You Promise with find Haithem and Angelina changing their looks
in order to hide in plain sight. With her parents going on world wide media
claiming she was kidnapped, because they thought it was the truth. But in
truth, Angelina had given up her whole life in order to stay with Haithem,
despite his lies and secrets.
So with their
disguises in place they start their trek though India, with Haithem leading the
way, trying to keep them safe, so they don't suffer the same fate as his
parents. Along the way they meet Haithem confident, hacker and security
extraordinaire Avner, who gives her a spy worthy watch, with the promise to
come to Angelina when ever and where ever she needs him, just by pressing a
button on the watch.
So they continue their cloak and dagger journey skipping
from country to country, with their end goal in sight, until one night they are
attacked and Angelina gets hurt! Which is unacceptable to Haithem, he blames
himself because all he can think about is her and keeps messing up! So he
betrays her to keep her safe, he just prays that she will forgive him when the
truth is finally revealed.
This is the second book in the Bad for you series by Amber
Bardan series, now I will admit that I didn't read the first book Didn't I Warn
You, which I have to admit was a mistake, because even though you can read it
as a stand alone, you really miss out on all of the back story which honestly
drove me mad, so I'm going to snap up that first book and re-read the second.
Despite not reading Didn't I Warn You; Didn't You Promise
plot was a gripping and thrilling read that give me goosebumps, made me cry!
The writing was smooth and I love the way it was written from both points of
view. When it came to the characters, I absolutely fell in love with Haithem,
Angelina and Avner! I loved all of the characters strength and determination.
But I will say that I found Officer Hannah Goodman just a hairs breath away
from being creepy!
I give Didn't You Promise a very well deserved 5 stars! I
can't wait to start the series all over again
“What about an apple?” I held up the reddest of the two, rotating it back and forth.
I
could practically see the thoughts
hammering his head the same way they did mine. Maybe his were less obvious, his
torment only visible because I witnessed the change in him.
“A
cola?”
He
rested a hand on my thigh. “You eat. I’ll have something when we stop.”
I
set the cooler down between my legs, keeping the apple but laying my other hand
on his.
“Hmm,”
I said.
He
glanced at me. “What?”
“I
guess I’m just disappointed.”
He
frowned hard enough to make me pity the thing that dared disappoint me. I guess
there was more evil in me than I’d known.
“Why?”
I
sighed as audibly as possible. “Someone swore to fulfill my needs later…” I
rubbed the apple against my lips, inhaling its sweetness. “But you’ve been
driving all day—and haven’t eaten since six a.m.” I suppressed the spasm
forming in my throat, and held my lips even. “Frankly, I don’t believe it’s
going to be everything I was guaranteed.”
The
brakes squeaked. We jerked to a halt behind the car stopping in front of us.
Traffic hummed and groaned outside the car. Inside, silence screamed electric.
The
hand beneath mine tightened over my knee.
I
took a bite of apple to keep from choking on a laugh.
“Is
that so?” he asked, his voice more honeyed than the fruit dissolving over my
tongue. “And to think I thought you were sweet.”
Haithem
turned my hand, raised it and clamped his teeth over the fleshy mound on my
palm below my thumb. I gasped, the sting just enough to remind me he had bite.
How easily he could chew right through me just like the apple I held, if he
ever decided to use his teeth on me.
“Now,
when I’m good and ready—” He turned
his face towards me, let me catch the wicked promise in his eyes. “—I’m going
to fuck you like you're not."
Oh, sweet Jesus.
He’d
been taking it easy on me all this time? He released my hand and pried the
apple from my fingers.
Then
ate the apple whole.
I’d
never seen someone eat an apple that way—from top to bottom, core and all.
He
ate the freaking stem.
He
actually ate the stem.
Who
eats the stem?
Apparently,
Haithem eats stems. I reached between my knees and pulled a cola from the
cooler, cracked the lid and took a gulp. Served me right. I got what I
wanted…and now I’d get what I wanted…
If
I could survive it.
