Book Blurb

How much will she risk to save her sister?

Mae Ashton has every reason to stay in Georgia and marry the man she loves, save one—the disappearance of her sister. Although all evidence points to Hazel’s death, Mae’s discovery of a single picture changes everything. If Hazel is alive, Mae will find her. And she’s left everything to do so.

Davis Everleigh isn’t about to let Mae, his fiancée, go just because of a note that hardly explains her departure to New York City. Instead, he follows her to the city and gains employment with the man Mae believes is somehow connected to Hazel.

As Davis and Mae become further entrenched in their effort to locate Hazel, they find themselves facing a corrupt businessman and his ruthless henchman, Alberto Moretti. In a world of lies, will the truth prevail—both about Hazel and in their own lives?

My Thoughts

This book has an interesting premise, and I could identify with Mae’s desire to find her sister. The character I loved most, though, was Davis. I loved his loyalty and integrity.

The gangster angle definitely made this novel intriguing. I haven’t read a lot of books set during Prohibition, but I think I’ll definitely be reading more after this.

Hall does a great job ramping up the suspense. Every time the characters turned, there was an obstacles. And those obstacles kept me turning pages.

Some might find this book a bit preachy because it quotes several verses and goes a lot into salvation. I didn’t mind, however.

Overall, Promises Unbroken is a good suspense read historical romance fans will enjoy.
