Now they’re adults, and time has been kind to some and unkind to others—none more so than to Bea, the one they lost nine long years ago.   They’ve gathered to reminisce at Bea’s family’s estate, a once-glorious mansion straight out of a gothic novel. Best friends, old flames, secret enemies, and new lovers are all under one roof. But when the weather turns and they’re snowed in at the edge of eternity, there’s nowhere left to hide from their shared history.   As the walls close in, the pretense of normality gives way to long-buried grief, bitterness, and rage. Underneath it all, there’s the nagging feeling that Bea’s shocking death wasn’t what it was claimed to be.

Adeline has fallen into the hands of the very organization Zade Meadows has devoted his life to destroying — a ritualistic network of powerful men who traffic women and children. While Adeline endures captivity, Zade unleashes everything he is to find her.\n\nThe novel is split in two: the first half follows the hunt and rescue; the second follows the long, difficult work of recovery, as Zade and Adeline confront what was done to her and turn toward the people responsible.

It follows Gianna, a young, sharp-tongued woman bound to the Cosa Nostra by blood and marriage, who hides her panic attacks behind glittering dresses and a quick, cutting wit.\n\nChristian Allister is her opposite in every way: an icy, exacting man of few words whose life runs on rigid order and self-control. When his world collides with Gianna's chaos, the friction between them curdles into something neither can name or contain — an obsession born of discipline on one side and relentless provocation on the other.\n\nTold in Lori's signature slow-burn style, the book pairs biting banter with a genuinely tender emotional core, tracing how two guarded, damaged people inch toward trust against the violent backdrop of organized crime. Readers should expect explicit content, morally grey leads, and the brooding, possessive hero the Made series is known for.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjraye78jpx5p7d0e4jfaj0r.jpg","L05OgKxA00ICqG?c.TITMws:.8.8",2019,"3.38",331,[367],{"id":368,"slug":369,"name":370},"01kjraye72jn3hkdbhgtzbwwm8","danielle-lori-gnqz","Danielle Lori",[372,373,374,375,376,377,378],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":16},{"id":97,"name":98,"slug":99,"is_fiction":16},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":16},{"id":93,"name":94,"slug":95,"is_fiction":16},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":16},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":16},[380],{"id":381,"slug":382,"name":383,"position":351,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":8,"parent_slug":8,"parent_name":8},"01kn0xr8r01mx69hwpxvgvkpe2","made-hebo","Made",{"pace":60,"complexity":8,"audience":61,"mood":385,"themes":388,"setting_period":8,"summary":391,"content_warnings":8},[64,63,386,123,387],"romantic","emotional",[193,389,127,390],"forbidden-love","enemies-to-lovers","Gianna hides her panic attacks behind a sparkling facade, but the armor cracks when she crosses paths with Christian Allister — a cold, exacting man who has never strayed from his rigid plan.

When a reckless late-night comment invites him to make her fantasies real, she never expects him to say yes.\n\nJosh Hammond has spent his life hiding: behind a mask, behind a screen, behind the wall he built between himself and the father whose face he shares.

Tense, addictive, and morally charged, this entry raises the stakes in a series built to be read straight through to its explosive end.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqnc1mky0rdq0xrxjmgd7n8g.jpg","L8D*;RMJ00GZ{LxaIANu1boz0K?H","4.29",139,[887],{"id":776,"slug":777,"name":778},[889,893,897,898,899,900],{"id":890,"name":891,"slug":892,"is_fiction":16},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",{"id":894,"name":895,"slug":896,"is_fiction":16},21,"Urban Fantasy","urban-fantasy",{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":16},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":16},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":16},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":16},[902],{"id":787,"slug":788,"name":789,"position":250,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":8,"parent_slug":8,"parent_name":8},{"pace":59,"complexity":8,"audience":61,"mood":904,"themes":905,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[64,63,124,123],[355,793,127,794,389],[907],{"id":908,"slug":909,"title":910,"user":911,"work_id":4,"is_draft":15,"verified_reader":16,"featured":15,"body":918,"overall_rating":27,"depth":8,"momentum":8,"atmosphere":8,"craft":8,"impact":8,"spice":8,"spoiler_level":919,"locale":8,"feed_item_key":920,"like_count":13,"comment_count":13,"top_likers":921,"viewer_can_reply":15,"created_at":922,"updated_at":922},"01kxppkx5k5sysc5ht7rkjz242","review-of-broken-promises-by-nadene","Review of \"Broken Promises\" by nadene",{"id":912,"name":913,"username":914,"avatar_url":915,"is_system":15,"published_reviews_count":916,"books_read_count":917},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.\"Broken Promises,\" the first book in the Bad Legacy series, delivers an intense second-chance romantic thriller that will captivate fans of suspenseful, action-packed romance. It features complex and relatable protagonists.\n\nMeet Felicity Shields and Brooks Delgado. Eight years ago, they got engaged, but unforeseen circumstances ended their relationship. Fast forward to the present, where tragedy reunites them and sends them on a journey filled with danger at every turn.\n\nHow would you cope, knowing your name was on the kill list of a deranged individual, right after discovering your mother's lifeless body? This was Felicity's reality. Ironically, hers was not the only name on the list. She learns that four other women, whose mothers were also deemed notorious, were also on the list. To protect herself and the other women, she along with Brooks set out to uncover the identity of the person behind list intending to put an end to their evil plans. Brooks Delgado, security specialist, returned to Felicity's life at the perfect moment – just when she needed his expertise. His willingness to drop everything and come to her aid without hesitation showed how much he loved. Despite being apart for eight years, their love remained as strong ever.\n\nThe antagonist referred to as The Great One seeks retribution against these women for what they perceive to be their mothers' transgressions. Throughout the story, The Great One remains a mystery. However, it is apparent that they are affluent, influential, and cunning. They possess the ability to manipulate the right individuals to carry out their orders.\n\nBrooks and Felicity didn't have much time to explore their feelings due to the dangerous circumstances. However, their chemistry was undeniable throughout the story. They always had each other's backs, demonstrating how well they worked together. It was clear that they belonged together. The story was intense, tragic, emotional, suspenseful, and action-packed. It kept this reader on the edge of their seat, eagerly flipping the pages to learn the outcome.\n\nWhilst Felicity and Brooks got their happily ever after danger still lurks. The Great One's plans were far from over. At the time of writing this review I had the pleasure of reading book two and the review for that one will follow shortly.\n\nIf you are looking for an intriguing romantic thriller, I recommend grabbing a copy of Broken Promises.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxppkx5k5sysc5ht7rkjz242",[],"2026-07-17T00:11:28.000000Z"]
