Description:
New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love wraps up the exciting Slye Temp romantic thriller series with FATAL PROMISE, Gage and Sabrina’s story that readers have been asking for since the beginning.
When a rogue CIA assassin threatens her Slye Agency family, Sabrina goes after him before he can harm another person on her team. She’s armed, dangerous and in no mood to take prisoners, but the lead she follows exposes the tip of a deadly international threat and adds a new name to the rogue agent’s hit list… Gage, Sabrina’s former CIA handler–and lover.
Gage has waged war on Sabrina’s emotional walls over the past year after she returned from being betrayed during a bloody mission that left her suspicious of everyone in the agency, starting with him. There’s a contract on her head, but keeping Sabrina safe until he can terminate the threat is easier said than done. As one of the deadliest operatives he’s ever met, Sabrina bends to no one’s will. No woman has ever gotten to him the way she has and he wants her back in his arms, but that isn’t going to happen unless they survive this mission. With only one hope of stopping a megalomaniac from starting a third world war, survival depends upon Gage convincing Sabrina to trust him in every way, including her heart.
*This is the final book in the Slye Temp series, but there will be a new romantic suspense series – HAMR Brotherhood – which will include Slye Temp characters who still have more story to tell.
Review:
Fatal Promise by Dianna Love is the 6th and final book in her wonderful Slye Temp series. I have been waiting for a long time to get Sabrina’s story. I love this series, which is no surprise, as Dianna Love is a master at Romance Suspense. It is sad that this will end this series, and I will miss all the Slye Temp characters that we have come to love. However, Dianna promises us a new romance suspense series in the near future, which will include some of the Slye Temp characters.
Sabrina has been in love with Gage for a long time, but she refuses to listen to her heart, as she feels she cannot trust Gage. Gage loves Sabrina, and does everything in his power to convince her of his love and loyalty. But each have their own secrets that they must protect. Will they ever be able to totally trust one another?
Fatal Promise begins when Sabrina decides to go on her own to receive some information on Rikker, the hated villain in this series. But it is trap, and Sabrina is captured. Gage goes to the Slye Temp team, to insist that they let him help them rescue Sabrina. Josh and Dingo, who have been friends with Sabrina since childhood days, do not trust Gage, but they want his resources. In the rescue attempt, Sabrina is pulled to safety, but Josh is then captured during the rescue. What follows is an exciting pulse pounding story that will not only bring everyone from the previous books together to help save Josh, as well as to try to prevent a possible world war. Sabrina and Gage will risk their lives to fight off an evil enemy. We held our breaths often, wondering if one or both of them would survive. I loved Sabrina and Gage together, as their chemistry was scorching hot. Throughout the book, we watch them trying to control their emotions, which continued to pull them toward each other. We also knew the chances of them ending up together were slim.
Fatal Promise was an exciting action filled suspenseful story that was very well written by Love. The ending was a frantic race to the finish, and I absolutely loved the epilogue that closes this series. If you love romance, suspense, fantastic characters, great couples, bad villains, excitement, and fun, then you need to read this series.
Thank you Dianna Love for giving us an ensemble book, and bringing so many things to a satisfying conclusion. I look forward to your next Romance Suspense series.
