***4.5 Stars***
This was a fun read, it did drag for me at times ~ though it could just be a whole “it’s not you, it’s me” situation ~ but overall it really was a great read. Sweet, smexy, cerebrally challenging at times, but fun.
I ADORED Promise and Ivar. Promise is calm, cool, collected and even though she takes the more logical route, she has a huge heart when it comes down to it. Ivar has been put through the wringer and though he’s not as close to the edge of insanity as he once was, he’s still dealing with the after affects of his hellish journey. But regardless of all the chaos inside him, he protects those he calls his own and has honor and loyalty etch on his very soul.
As for their journey to their HEA. From the moment they first collided ~ which was definitely NOT your usual meet cute ~ to their mating to where we leave them at the end of the book, I enjoyed the entire ride. Part of it was that the angsty/drama was low and that stemmed from the fact that Ivar and Promise actually communicated, whether it was verbally or with other methods ~ which were hella smexy ~ there were no major mind games going on. They were also perfectly matched in practically every way and where they didn’t match up, well it just made it that much more fun and I loved watching as they fell in love with each other.
Lots happened in this baby and I really like the direction the whole Quade/Ulric/Key/possible world destruction thing is going. But, what I really love about this series are the characters and getting to hang out and watch them all interact with each other. Logan and Garrett are still my fav’s ~ and I cannot wait to watch Garrett finally fall and get a mate ~ but Benny isn’t too far behind because he was hilarious. And as for Adare and Grace...I want to see what it will take for them to see what everyone else already has. Then there is Hope and Pax and Drake and the revelations that happened in this one has me wanting to know just what the future holds for them.

Though he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar Kjeidsen’s soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely fathom. One vow keeps the deadly immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for him. To do that, Ivar needs the help of a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's way too soft.
Dr. Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never figured out the human beings inhabiting it. Her function is to think—and not feel—until she’s touched by a vampire who’s nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .
Release Date: June 25th, 2019
