My Review:

I have read books by Lisa Phillips, but Expired Promise is the first book I have read by Emilie Haney. While it is the third in the series, it easily stands alone.

While I understood where Andi was coming from, trying to prove herself made her an unlikable character. I don't have patience for people who rush into dangerous situations without considering the outcome, or how it will affect others.

Jude was an okay character, but I didn't connect with him either. The story's beginning was slow, but once it hit its stride, there was plenty of action and suspense. Family secrets contribute to the intrigue of the story. 

Read for:

• second chance romance
• family secrets
• character-driven story
• strong family ties
• more suspense than romance

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Fire. Family. Faith.
A female fire-fighter and a hero ATF agent get a second chance at love, but when she's targeted, will the secrets of the past destroy them?

She’ll stop at nothing to protect her family.

Probie fire-fighter and EMT Andi Crawford loves her job, but when her family becomes the target of a dangerous drug cartel, she’ll have to choose between firefighting and protecting her family.

Even if that means accepting help from the one man who broke her heart.

The last thing he wants is to return home…

Superstar ATF Agent Jude Brooks never thought he’d return to Last Chance County—and especially not to uncover information about the Crawford family, the family who rescued him as a teen. The last person he wants to see is Andi…mostly because of the love he still has for her.

But working together to uncover the truth ignites all their old feelings and suddenly, he has to decide…the love he can’t forget, or a future he wants.

But what happens when the past shows up to destroy it all…

A romantic second chance at love suspense with a strong-but-wounded hero, a woman in danger, a found family and a fight for justice with a surprise twist!
