Book Review: Promise of Punishment

He's the memory that burns like poison. She's the obsession that devours his control.

Fable
They say angels only exist in heaven.
They’re wrong. Some are born into hell and learn to survive.

I was seventeen when I saved a beautiful stranger from dying in an abandoned garden. He promised to kill the villain in my nightmares. Instead, he shattered my life.

At twenty-three, I’m still running from the evil in my past, and the stranger who betrayed me. He’s back. Colder, and in a position to destroy me again.

I hide in a gilded mansion where elites play, falling for a masked man who makes my body come alive.

But some prisoners earn favors.
And some saviors keep deadly promises.

Wes
They say monsters are made, not born.
They’re right.

Cruelty came from my father. Survival came from the girl who healed me when I was meant to die. She was a glimmer in the darkness, then she betrayed me. Or so I was told.

Now she’s standing in front of me, a grown woman with haunted eyes and a hatred for me I don’t understand.

She doesn’t know I’m the man behind the mask, bringing her desires to life. She doesn’t know I own her world.

I was once saved by an angel, and I failed her. This time, I’ll keep my promise and reveal who I truly am.
Even if it makes her hate me more.


My Review

Just one lie is all it takes to tear Fable and Wes apart. Wes is determined to make Fable his and find out why she hates him. The more time that Fable is around Wes, she can't deny the attraction. 

"Good angel, I purr and drink in her beauty. Every time you obey me, you'll earn a reward."

OMG. I love this book so much.  Fable and Wes are brought together by sorrow of circumstances that neither of them could truly control. They were just trying to navigate through the darkness the best they could. Two lost souls that were drawn to each other. 

I did get the influence of The Secret Garden reading this book. This made me very happy as this was a big reason I was drawn to wanting to read this book. Get ready to have your heart wrecked.

Meet Tara Gallina:

Tara Gallina writes across various romance genres, from new adult and college to small town and fantasy. While most of her books are steamy, she's also penned a few sweeter titles.

Her stories blend angst, tormented heroes, a hint of humor, and the occasional tear. Many of her books come alive through settings inspired by her travels.

When she's not writing, she loves to visit gardens, New England in the fall, European castles, and Caribbean beaches. She has a fairy garden, a Lady Lair for writing, favors the color pink, and only drinks wine that tastes like melted sugar.

She lives in the Sunshine State with her husband, where she raised her two sons who are now adults. Her writing journey began in 2014 when she signed with a literary agent for a young adult retelling. Since then, she's moved on to publishing steamy romances and hasn't looked back.
