BEYOND A PROMISE is a book filled with lies, secrets, incest, affairs, lost loves and broken hearts. This book made my heart ache with the devastation it left behind in my mind. How can his be categorized as a romance when there was nothing romantic about it? Just when you think a romance is budding to life, it gets crushed with a murderous blow. I kept reading it, hoping that something good might come out of this disaster of a story, but it just got worst. I guess I was asking for too much. I felt that the ending was obsurd and callously cold. I refuse to throw away the book because I paid for it, but I keep it out of my sight. I do not recommend this book, it is a waste of time and money. Trust me!
