Broken Promise ended this series with some excitement, and I enjoyed it. I never felt fully involved, though, and I think that's partly because the pace was very slow in places. Also, there were quite a bit of grammatical errors that made my reading flow difficult. Hopefully those errors will not be in the final version.
I also think that this author's writing just doesn't really work for me - the story was good, as it was in the previous books as well - however, I didn't really feel the characters. And I also didn't really care very much for any of them.

Kipling and Alyssa finally have their chance. Lots of secrets get revealed in this next installment of the Sons of Broad series.
I would recommend reading the other books in the series. Some references may not make sense without reading them first. But it’s still readable as a stand alone.
This is suspense and romance all rolled into one. 5 stars!

Alyssa and Kipling have a love hate relationship. They are brought together by a resourceful orphan. There are a lot of very good twists and turns to this story. I would definitely recommend this book.

Broken Promise is the third and final book in the Sons of Broad series. I have enjoyed this series and I enjoyed the way the author took the story and the characters. A solid Romantic suspense, I would read this series again and will recommend it to others

I was lost from the very beginning of this book, too many references to events and people. I had a very hard time getting into the book and it was like a bad part time job that I really had no interest in but had to attend anyway. I had high hopes from the description but sadly that was more interesting than the book itself.

This is the last story in a series of 3. I have not read the first 2 books and that made it hard to follow the characters backstories. I did like the book and will watch for new releases from this author

Rating 3.5.

Broken Promises was my first Tara Thomas book. In an attempt to bring readers who hadn’t read the first two books in the series up to speed, Thomas spent a lot of time recapping the backstory and introducing characters featured more in the other installments. Yet, at times I was still confused over who everyone was and what had happened previously. I especially felt I needed to know the whole story of the past interactions between Alyssa and Kipling, especially his arrest at her hands.

I also felt Thomas’s writing was clunky at times and just didn’t flow as well as it could. That being said, I still found the characters interesting, the story was very suspenseful and I did want to see Alyssa and Kipling find their happily ever after. I recommend reading the first two books first and suspect I would have rated this one higher if I had been familiar with the entire series.

Alyssa was tired. Trying to protect the missing women and the corruption in the police department has left her weary and not knowing who to trust. Finally giving into her attraction for Kipling. He listened to her and made her finally take a breath and simply enjoy life. Will that all change as danger continues to look closer in the shadows? This suspense is nerve wracking as you stay up long into the night to find out who is behind the evil that has plagued them for far too long.

Broken Promise is the final installment of a series by Tara Thomas. I had not previously read the first two installments so was a bit lost about some of the backstory. That lack of exposure did not prevent me from enjoying or wanting to read more. I will definitely be reading the first two novels as soon as I can. Characters were well written and likable. There is a definite heat and attraction between Kipling and Alyssa. I really connected with Alyssa. Her conflict between doing what she has always thought was right and moving forward hit home for me. I have to highly recommend this book. I loved it!

Broken Promise by Tara Thomas is the third and final book in the romantic suspense Sons of Broad Trilogy set in Charleston, South Carolina. This book highlights Kipling, the oldest brother, and police detective Alyssa Adams. They have history, not really that pleasant history, but there is an undeniable attraction as well. Alyssa is the only one he can turn to when his half-sister is kidnapped. What follows is another gritty, suspenseful, fast-paced story in a gritty, suspenseful, fast-paced series. "The Gentleman," who has been targeting and terrorizing the Benedict family for so long, is back, as evil as ever. Charleston is back, too. You feel as if you are there, enveloped in the atmosphere.

As the eldest of the Benedict brothers, Kipling will stop at nothing to protect his family from a threat that aims to destroy them once and for all. Broken Promise is a well-written, fast-paced book with lots of twists and turns. Even if you haven’t read the first two books in the series, the flashbacks Tara Thomas provides are enough to help you understand, and feel, the danger. I recommend you read the entire series to fully enjoy and appreciate all the backstory and the tales of the other brothers, but Broken Promise ably stands on its own, with good character development and well-thought out plot and scenes. And while this story focuses on Kipling and Alyssa and the current danger, it answers all your questions about “The Gentleman” and very nicely wraps up all the storylines.

I enjoyed Broken Promise. The atmosphere is lush, the danger seems real, and the attraction between Kipling and Alyssa is steamy. But the best thing, the thread that runs throughout the entire series, is family – just how important family, and those brought into the family circle – is and what lengths they will go to to protect and care for each other.

Note I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher St. Martin’s Press via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

This book is so interesting. It starts off catching your attention and doesnt let it go till the very end. With a good mix of suspense and romance this keeps you intertained the whole way through. Its better to read this books as a series because it will help set the story better. I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book for my honest review

All I can say is wow! When I got this from netgalley, I found out it's part of a series. I had to start at the beginning before I read Broken Promise. I'm glad I did since each story builds on the next. I could not stop reading this, in fact I read it in one day. I never saw the twists and turns this story took, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story!

Broken Promise – Tara Thomas
I was fortunate to receive this novel as an Advance Reader Copy, in exchange for an objective review.
Kipling Benedict is the eldest of the three Benedict brothers, whom are the heirs apparent to the large shipping company bequeathed to them by their father. Set in beautiful Charleston, SC, Kipling has seen both of his brothers marry, but after having his heart broken at a young age, he has vowed to remain single, despite his hidden interest in Charleston PD’s Officer Alyssa Adams.
Alyssa Adams has an agenda of her own. After losing a sister to murder when she was 15 years old, she has made it her life’s work to avenge her sister and to protect society, a story she shares with Kipling over an impromptu cup of coffee one afternoon. As they talk, they discover a connection between them – a company named ‘Finition Noire’.
Soon, a young woman who proclaims to be the Benedict’s sister – Jade - goes missing, and Kipling receives a call from an individual who claims to have her. He joins forces with Alyssa in attempts to find her.
As the search for Jade intensifies, we learn of ‘The Gentleman’, and a clue left behind by Alyssa’s sister all those years ago, that ties into the present as Kipling & Alyssa give in to their chemistry and search for answers and for Jade. Just who is ‘The Gentleman’ and why does he have it in for the Benedict family?
I absolutely LOVED this book! Non-stop action and suspense, and some great reveals into the motivations and backstories of individual characters and how they became to be. It kept me guessing – and guessing wrong! Great read!! I will be watching for more from Tara Thomas!!

As the third and finally book in the series I loved how the author brought it to a close. This last book has it all....lots of suspense....romance and characters that I loved.

This is the third book in the series. I did not realize this when I started reading it. It was not too bad catching on to the characters. The book was full of action. There was something going on with every turn of the page. I enjoyed the way the author gave us glimpses of the past. It explained what made this man they call The Gentleman so evil and vindictive. It also helped us understand the characters and how they are connected. Alyssa must work with Kippling to try to get to the bottom of his sisters kidknapping and the past death of her sister. Along the way they get closer and develope romantic feelings for one another. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it. I received a free copy from Netgalley for my honest opinion.

The Kipling brothers have so far proven themselves to be everything their detractors wish they were not. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. and am looking forward to the next.

Broken Promise is a well written thriller. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. The author is new to me and I will be reading more of her books. I recommend reading prior books in this series first for background. I had not read them and was confused a few times.

This was pretty good. It's part of a series and I didn't read the other books first, so i was a little lost at first but it turned out ok. This was suspenseful and had romance to it. I liked the writing style and it flowed smoothly. The characters were great. I liked the mystery and it had me on the edge of my seat at moments.

A good storyline and interesting characters,it would have been better tho if I had read the previous books for more background to references made in the book.
