When we were kids, we made all kinds of promises. We promised to always be best friends, to always put each other first, and that no matter what, no one would come between us. Little did we know that life had its own plans.
We grew up and reality set in. We realized that not all love lasts forever, and some promises are meant to be broken. It’s ironic that the promises we made as kids, the ones we thought would hold us together, might just be the very thing that could tear us apart.



MY REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Laugh as Much as You Breathe, Love as Long as You Live

This book was not what I expected.  Not at all.  It’s Nikki Ash, so it’s hot and steamy romance with a nice dose of angst, some fantastic humor and the traditional HEA, right? Nope. Not even close. I think Ms. Ash may have just created a new genre where women's fiction meets beyond-steamy romance. It might better be described as “rip my heart out, tear it to shreds, chop it up in a blender and toss in a grenade for good measure" romance, because it certainly did all that. And for that, my bruised heart has a few choice words for this author once it gets over the emotional hangover.  But the other side of it, that balances things out beautifully, is the reminder of what a precious gift love is, the beauty of hope and healing, and the magic of wishing on a shooting star. 

This story is like nothing else in the romance genre today, and it is unforgettable. It’s devastating and heart wrenching, and it's uplifting and inspiring. Ash balances the pain, loss and fear with compassion, optimism and the promise of new beginnings. Yes, it will put your heart through the wringer, but it’s so fresh, unique and different that it’s absolutely worth going on this journey.  Ash’s talent and skill truly shine in this phenomenal work that is easily her best to date. I hesitate to take up a spot of my list for top five books of the year, but I think Unbroken Promises rightfully earns a place there.

I’ll admit that I was apprehensive about reading a book with anything that deviates from the typical H/h romance, but I’m so glad I didn’t let that keep me from reading this book. I put on a brave face and dove right in and I was in love with these characters by the end of the second chapter. I thought I knew how things would resolve but I couldn’t have been more wrong. In many aspects it was a challenging read, but the reward was unparalleled. Ash held me prisoner with these very real, vulnerable and eternally endearing characters and I was helpless to do anything but devour the book in one setting. Although their story is poignant and heartbreaking it shows that there can be blessings from pain, contentment from sorrow and beauty from ashes.  Tragic.  Authentic.  Heartbreaking.  Inspiring.  Unique.  Uplifting. Unforgettable.  Don’t miss it.

This book deserves a lot more than 5 stars!! If you buy one books for the rest of the year, let this be it!” -- Melissa Schaub
“I was unprepared for the magnitude of this experience. Hands down this is the BEST book Nikki Ash has EVER written. MMF reads seem to be all the rage right now but this one is MORE than that and so beautifully unique. It is SO different, it needs its own category.” -- Cali Gals Book Blog
“Wow, just wow! Talk about an emotional roller coaster; I haven't both laughed and cried over a book in a long time! Do Not Pass Over this book! Even if MMF isn't your thing, this book has the potential to be a life changer!" -- Kori Dickens
Delilah is a naturally gorgeous woman. She has beautiful hazel eyes that shine with every emotion. Her body is beyond sexy with a soft yet flat stomach and a round, perfect ass. And her plump, kissable lips leave you wanting to press your mouth to hers over and over again. She’s never paid attention at school, but so many guys over the years have wanted to get between her legs. Cole and I have threatened the shit out of several of those fuckers who’d talk about wanting to take her out, knowing they just wanted to get in her pants.
“You’re just saying that because you’re my best friend.” She rolls her eyes and her fleshy lips turn into a pout. Without thinking, I lean in and press my lips to hers. “You’re beautiful,” I say again. “I’ve thought about us all being together again more times than I can count, but do you understand if we do this, it will change everything?”
“Maybe that’s okay,” she says and turns her head to look at Cole. “None of us are dating anyone, so we aren’t hurting anyone.” She shrugs. “Sex is supposed to be with someone you love, and I love you two, and no matter where life takes us, I know I will always love you both.”
I glance over at Cole and see he’s frozen in thought, so I say what I’m thinking. “I love you too, sweet girl, and if this is what you want, I’m down, as long as we make one promise.”
“What’s that?” Cole asks, finally speaking.
“All of us or none of us.”
