Promises and Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller is a dark romance book. The story is between Elena Ricci, a mafia princess and Kal Anderson, a doctor who works for Elena's father. This book is a twist on the mythology story between Hades and Persephone but also a little bit of a beauty and the beast as well. I enjoyed the story and the characters, Elena is suppose to marry another man, when Kal kills her fiancee and forces Elena to marry him and he immediately whisks her away to his little island. Elena and Kal had a previous relationship that I kind of wish we could have read what actually happened between them, like if that had been in the Prologue or there was a flashback to that event, instead we kind of have to fill in the blanks. There was a lot of spicy scenes and Kal and Elena's sexual chemistry was off the charts but I would have liked a little bit more character and storyline development. Otherwise it was a really enjoyable book and I look forward to reading more books from Sav R. Miller. I would rate this book with 4 stars.
Favorite Excerpt:
“But don’t say I ruined you when we know damn well it’s the other way around.”
She grunts, threading her fingers through mine, increasing the pressure on her neck. “How did I ruin you?”
“You consumed me from the moment you approached me at that cocktail party years ago. I’ve not even thought about another woman since.” I’m close, so fucking close, my hips picking up speed as release barrels through me. “Now, be a good little bitch and come for your husband.”
★★★★☆
