I really enjoyed this trilogy and this 3rd and final book is the best. It's an action packed thriller/suspense. In each book I tried, in vain, to figure out who The Gentleman was. What a surprise! A great story from start to finish I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Broken Promise was an enjoyable and engaging read. That had plenty of twists and I really liked how this story developed.

However, I did find the pace of this story a little stilted. But the suspense and intrigue were still there and all the loose ends from the previous stories were neatly tied up.

Solid 3.5 stars

This series was spell binding from the first page. Finally finding out the end and finishing it was well worth rhe turmoil and tension this book put me through. I can't express how much i recommend this book.

Aside from some really confusing feelings I read it in one sit and liked the book. It was a good thrilling adventure. The characters were good, the story arc built up very good and I think mostly the questions got answered in this final book. Although, it still leaves out some points that I pesonally liked to have an answer for. Good book.

Charleston Police Officer Alyssa Adams is a police officer because her sister was murdered.
Kipling Benedict is a uber mega wealthy handsome man that Alyssa hates.

There are 2 books prior in this series that I did not get the pleasure of reading but that's ok because this book wrapped things up nicely and I was able to follow everything.
Kipling finds out he has a 1/2 sister and she has now been kidnapped. Alyssa is the one on the force that has to help him. There is a madman that has Jada and he will do everything in his power to destroy the Kipling family.

The book was good, there was a little disconnect between Kipling and Alyssa and that relationship seemed forced but it was a good book.

Received this book as an ARC for my honest review.

I have chosen not to read and review this tile. While the blurb drew me to the story, I was not engaged with the characters or the way the story was written.

I appreciate the opportunity to review this early title and am looking forward to the next title through your company.

Thanks,
Laura

At first this book really piqued my interest. It was entertaining, the writing was well done but i couldn’t get into the plot. I believe the reason had more to do with the characters then the actual overarching story.

I didn't love or hate the characters. They were ok but i wasn’t feeling any real connection. For me I really need it to get thoroughly into the suspense part of the book.

But again Tara Thomas is clearly talented. Her writing was smooth and engaging. I think that if I felt more connected to the characters this would definitely been a 4.

My rating 3.5

The most enjoyable part of this book is the clever and novel plot line. I feel like so many stories I have read lately all have the same general plot, just told a slightly different way. This book is the exception. A great starter as our main character David arrives at his cousin's home to find her rocking an unknown baby. We quickly find out that the mother has been found murdered, so David begins to investigate to prove his cousin is innocent or not. Other creepy things begin to unfold in this small town that lead into the mystery. A great fast paced thriller that was a great read!

It was a solid read; certainly not a bad book at all, but I just wasn't entertained enough to sit and read continuously. It took me a while to finish because I could easily put it down and it not draw my attention enough to read. Very likable characters, and I understood the story even without reading the previous two installments of the series.

This is the final book in the Sons of Broad series and what a thrill ride it has been. You do need to read this series from the beginning with the three prequel novellas that sets the scene. There is an overall story arc that you need to follow throughout the series. Definitely worth the read.

This book had me on the edge of my seat begging to know hat was going to happen next.

It had so suspense and thrill that it honestly left me reeling once I finally was done.

I loved the characters in particular
Kipling and Alyssa just had this chemistry that was undeniable.

And I loved watching how the two of them interacted. As they uncovered more and more secrets and made the story so intricate and crazy.

This was such a well written story and had such relatable and well developed characters that you won't be able to put it down. With you making guesses every turn.

A five star review from me!

This book wasn’t for me. I decided not to review it on my site or any of the major retailers/Goodreads.

First book read by this author. Kipling and Alyssa must work together to find the clues and locations for their kidnapped family members. Good story line and suspense.

Ebook from net galley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

4 1/2 STARS!

An explosive conclusion to the mystery that's been haunting the Benedict family! If you've been following along with the series, you will recognize both of the main characters of this story. Kip has been flirting with sexy cop Alyssa throughout the series and it's finally time for him to make his move. We weave through more mystery and chaos before finally discovering who The Gentleman is and to what lengths he's gone to and why in his quest to ruin the Benedicts. Really enjoyed the series and felt like this was a fitting ending!

Charleston police officer Alyssa Adams pledged her life years ago to helping victimized women and to bringing justice for their families, and in this book we find out where her passion came from. She had an older sister she adored that went missing a decade ago and was never heard from again. She's determined to one day find out exactly what happened to her, and the way things are shaking out with the Benedict case, she might be getting closer than she ever though possible!

Kipling Benedict can't deny a major attraction to Alyssa every time she's been around during this family trouble of late, so any opportunity to get up close and personal with her is a pleasure ... but this time, he really needs her help! Turns out their long-lost sister that they only recently learned of has now been taking by whoever it is that's torturing their family. He needs Alyssa to help him figure out who it is and track her down before it's too late!

Alyssa never got over the loss of her sister. She disappeared with out a trace. This is the reason she became a police detective. The case she comes across now involves the Benedict brothers. Especially Kipling. As the case gets deeper and they get closer the secrets they find out makes this case more confusing. They will work together to get to the bottom of this.

This story has twists and turns on every page and it was a great read

** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review**

Officer Alyssa Adams and billionaire Kipling Benedict are explosive together in the third book in the Sons of Broad series.

There is so much going on in this book that it keeps you on your toes following who are the bad and who are the good persons. It really helps if you read the previous books if you want to follow all the other characters and at some stage I will do so, so that I can properly understand the relationships of all the characters.


Tara Thomas certainly writes a story of intrigue and I was completely engrossed in this book from beginning to end. The plots of some of the characters are extremely devious and that just adds to the excitement and the unexpected ending.

A very enjoyable read.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The publisher approached me about this book several months ago and I was happy to oblige.  The synopsis seemed like it could be read on it's own even though it was part of a series. After about a third of it though, I was wishing I had time to read the previous ones in the series.  Since my schedule was so tight, I couldn't stop to do that so I pressed on.  

The love story was very nice.  I especially liked the scene in the church at the beginning. The hot looks, the unwanted stares, the introspect of feelings long kept at bay.  The love story works, but the mystery and stalking didn't work for me.  There wasn't enough interaction in this book with the antagonist and there didn't seem enough sincerity in Kipling's worry or desire to find his missing sister.  It was more about solving Alyssa's sister's death.  I know these two lines intersect, but I felt it was lacking in the worry and hurry you would normally find in a kidnapping.

There are a few things that bring this one down for me to a 3 of 5 stars. First off, it can be read as a stand alone only if you want the romance and to see a guy work very hard to protect his "damsel in distress", which in fact isn't helpless.  If you want to engage in the mystery, you really need to read the whole series.  It isn't so much to gain perspective on the other characters as it is the build up of the final take down in this one.  Since I felt there was a lack of emotional entanglement in the kidnapping plot, that brings it down also.  Again, the saving grace is the romance.  That part was well done.  So final take, read this series from start to finish.  I've been nice enough to provide all the links too.

This is the third book in this series by this author. This is a romantic suspense story. This book is the final instalment in this series and holds all the answers. This book is packed full of suspense with lots of twists and turns. This book will keep you hooked till the very last page. Amazing characters with an amazing story.



Highly recommended series

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Intense and thrilling read with a first rate plot and realistic characters ! Fast paced with unexpected twists and turns ! A must read ! I highly recommend ! Thanks to #Netgalley and #St.Martin'sPress for the digital copy in exchange for my honest review ! #BrokenPromise

This is my first book by Tara Thomas, so I haven't read the previous books in this series, but I felt I could follow along fine with Broken Promise. I loved the premise for Broken Promise. Alyssa is a police officer, whose sister was murdered when she was younger. The case is still unsolved. Kipling is the eldest Benedict brother; all of whom are very rich. Alyssa and Kipling have a bit of enemies to lovers thing going on, and they grow closer as they work to investigate Alyssa's sister's murder and the kidnapping of Kipling's long lost sister. I liked the suspense, and I really liked how the story was building up in the beginning. This story could've been really awesome, but I think the writing wasn't quite up to the task. The story was still good, so I'd still recommend it. Things just started to drag a bit, and the characters started making stupid choices. Alyssa being a police officer, you would think she'd be better at making intelligent decisions, but that isn't the case. There were a few chapters that take place in the past, that didn't really add anything to the story. Those chapters could've been explained in real time. The characters also lacked a bit of depth; a little bit too surface, but I did enjoy the romance aspect. There's a couple hot scenes between Kipling and Alyssa. I'm on the fence about Tara Thomas, but I think I'll give her books another go.
