DIDN'T YOU PROMISE
Bad for You #2
Amber Bardan
Releasing June 13th, 2016
Carina Press/Harlequin AU
He always keeps his promises.
Angelina has sacrificed everything
to be with the man she loves. Forced to abandon her family, and even her own
identity, Angelina depends on Haithem as never before. With no more secrets
between them, Haithem has become the source of all her needs. Sexually.
Emotionally.
But not even Haithem can hide
forever.
While they're sneaking across
borders, avoiding persecution from everyone who would see Haithem dead and his
prototype stolen, the media fascination surrounding Angelina's disappearance
continues to mount.
For Angelina, it's a brutal reminder
of what she's left behind and the pain she's caused to those who believe her
dead or held against her will.
To Haithem, it's a warning: he
stands to lose the one person left in his life he loves beyond measure. The
hunt won't be called off until his enemies have destroyed him, his life's work
and everyone involved—including Angelina.
He has only one choice. He's
promised to protect her. And Haithem always keeps his promises.

EXCERPT
EXCERPT
“Did you do
everything I asked?”
Avner’s jaw
set. “Of course I did.”
“I needed
to ask—” I held his gaze tighter than I’d held his shoulder “—because I need
you to look at me now, and tell me that if the time comes you’ll do what has to
be done.”
He took a
breath, then his jaw pulsed.
There were
few people close to me I didn’t fully own. Avner might have been my only true
friend. The only man with whom I’d argue. We’d argued about this. He’d refused
my requests. Avner had the balls for that. Perhaps that’s what made him so
crucial.
“Yeah, I’ll
do it.”
My spine
relaxed a fraction.
“I still
say there are too many things that could go wrong, Haithem.”
My gaze
drifted to the door once more.
Yes, there were.
Far too
many things that could go wrong with this plan. The one contingency I’d never
repeated to Angelina. One that could only work if she never suspected. It’d
destroy her, but if we ever found ourselves on that road, that terrible one-way
road, we’d already be beyond salvation.
Nothing, no
part of all the good I could only hope would vindicate our actions, trumped
her.
She had to
survive me.
If
everything went to hell, I could live in hell, as long as she was all right.
She’d never forgive me if I had to go through with this. I’d told too many lies
already. Even this planning broke the honesty keeping us together after
everything I’d done.
But better
to be with and not need, then need and be without.
So I
planned for the worst.
“Do you have that other thing I asked for?”
“Right
here.” Avner patted his breast pocket.
The door
opened, and Angelina stepped through. It took work to keep the air in my lungs.
She’d never been sexier. Not because she appeared different—I’d love nothing
more than to strip that disguise away—it was the way she looked at me.
Angelina
looked at me the way a woman does who knew and owned her own self.
She knew
and owned me too.
Yet, I
couldn’t help the questions clenching my guts—what had it cost to get us here?
How much of her innocence had been lost? And how much more was yet to be
broken.
CAT'S REVIEW
"Didn't You Promise" by Amber Bardan. So, once again, Ms. Bardan has taken me by surprise. After reading the first book of the series, "Didn't I Warn You", I was thrilled by the intensity of the story and the characters and was anxiously awaiting this book. Well, she's done it again! Ms. Bardan has me wrapped around her little finger when it comes to this series. Our characters - Haithem and Angelina work so well together. He's the type that I really shouldn't like but absolutely love and she is sweet and a touch naive yet her ability to love and the strength of that love is mind blowing. They don't have your typical relationship but, Ms. Bardan works her magic, and, as the reader, I don't care. Together they are perfect - their love is intense and passionate. "Didn't You Promise" is filled with action, secrets, sexy scenes and love. I couldn't put it down and read it anxiously turning each page to see where we would go. Don't miss out on this if you enjoy a bit of mystery with two very sexy characters that live and breath only for each other - but highly recommend you read book one first. (received copy for honest review)
