I did the jump from The Burg #2 to The Promise because Kristen Ashley had said in promo that this should have come next. The Promise lived up to its promise; it was fantastically awesome!The story starts straight from the ending of At Peace, finding Frankie recuperating in hospital following her gunshot injury. Every time Benny comes to visit she fakes sleep trying to avoid him and his family. The Bianchis have shunned Frankie since the death of Benny's brother Vinnie 7 years ago, blaming his then girlfriend Frankie for his bad decisions in life. Since the shooting Benny has reevaluated his judgement and is ready to go full out to show Frankie that she means something to him but there's no way Frankie is going down that road. This book is written beautifully, with some of my favourite KA phraseology, characters making appearances and relationships that are just beyond lovely. The epilogue was the best one I've ever read in a KA book.
