A Cold Dark Promise takes place during the week leading up to the wedding of former CIA assassin Alex Parker to FBI Agent Mallory Rooney, who first meet in the novel, A Cold Dark Place. A Cold Dark Promise can be read as a standalone novella, but readers might get more enjoyment if they read A Cold Dark Place first.
In the midst of wedding preparations, a shadowy figure from Alex
Parker's past reappears and threatens the joy he's found with Mallory
Rooney.
Four years ago, Jane Sanders's powerful ex-husband
kidnapped their young daughter and Jane hasn't seen her since. Now, she
finally has a lead and she knows just the man to help get her daughter
back. Trouble is, he's an assassin. And he terrifies her.
Despite
his upcoming nuptials, Alex agrees to help, but it doesn't take long
for the routine operation to turn complicated-and deadly on a global
scale.
Can the former assassin make it home in time to marry the
woman he loves, or will his dark past destroy all hope for their future?
4.5 STARS
I was in a rush to read this story after getting pulled into Mallory and Alex's story in the book" A Cold Dark Place". It so SO good and I liked this one too. However I can also see that I missed out somewhat by skipping by some of the other stories in this series. It might have also helped me a bit more with all the extra people in the story and THEIR stories. But I do plan to go back and catch up on those parts. I don't think it will ruin what I know from this book though.
However, this was still a good story with Jane and her troubles. The first book introduced her and it was hard to be warm or sympathetic to her. BUT this book digs so much deeper into her and shines quite a light on everything ! This woman had hidden so much pain.
You want some unexpected dangers, close calls, romance, then this book is for you. It also comes to a really good ending.
I read this book through the HOOPLA Library App
