Book exchanged for an honest review:Lady Adele of House Berron is orphaned as a young child due to the actions by House Targhe. Many families were devastated by these actions.

Rafe upon meeting Lady Adele wonders if she really sees him. Rafe allows Adele to call him Finn but his deceit tears at his very soul. Lady Adele's safety is Rafe's utmost concern especially considering that they are being followed by unknown factors. Will Lady Adele be safe? Who is following them and why? When will Rafe tell Adele the truth? Your answers await you in The Promise.I was throughly delighted with this book. It had the right blend of action, suspense, drama, and romance. My two favorite characters were Lord Rafe and Lady Adele. They embodied several wonderful qualities:strength, courage, sense of humor, and humility. I think the author did a terrific job at telling this particular story. I will definitely be on the look out for the next installment.
