10++ stars for this one.  The Promise takes place immediately after At Peace, and despite AP being #2 in the series & TP being #5, I would recommend reading them back to back.  I fell in so much love w/ Frankie & Benny at the end of At Peace, I just couldn't wait through two more books to read their story.  This became my all time #1 favorite KA.  Benny bumped Mitch Lawson down 1/2 a peg, and let me tell you, I did not think that would ever happen.  WOW.  (But just 1/2 a peg - he is still Detective Mitch Lawson, after all!  Let's not go crazy!)What I enjoyed about this story is that it is, for most of the story, drama-free in the relationship of Frankie & Ben.  There is some, of course.  The beginning of the story is Frankie tryin to think up reasons why she can't be w/ Ben.  But Ben is NOT having that.  His focus, his determination... it's amazing & awesome & I loved it!  The promise of Benny is just one of the best stories I've read this year.And the epilogue!!  This epilogue had everything in it that I could ever ask of an epilogue.  Amazing.: )
