I absolutely loved the first book in this series, A Kiss of Lies, so I had high hopes for this book. And, it definitely met them! A Promise of More was a romantic, thrilling, absolutely fantastic read. I loved this book. It was wonderful.Beatrice was a strong heroine. She refused to be backed into a corner or forced to do someone else's bidding. And, she was clever enough to always find a way out. I really liked her. She was tough, loyal to her loved ones, and very likable.Sebastian was also great. He was very sweet and loyal to those he cared about (though he didn't like to admit to any love). I loved how protective he was with his sisters and Beatrice. My one problem with him was that he could really be an ass sometimes. I understood why he was so unnerved by the thought of falling in love, after what he saw from his parents. But, he could be rather mean about it. However, he did realize his mistakes and made sure to correct them and, overall, I really liked him. Other than that, he was just adorable.The romance was sweet and steamy. Despite Sebastian's reluctance to go anywhere near love, their feelings were still obvious on both sides. And, the chemistry between them was hot and led to some serious steaminess. I thought they were perfect together.The plot was fast paced and I was hooked the entire way through. There were tons of twists along the way, a few secrets, and enough thrills to keep me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the story and the ending tied up the romance, while leaving the mystery open for the next books. I can't wait to see what happens next!A Promise of More was a fantastic historical romance. I really liked this book. It kept me hooked and left me anxious for more. Romance lovers, this book (and this series) is one you definitely need to read.*I received a complimentary copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
