Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses Book 1)

Product Information

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a dark and twisted romance inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth.

Elena is drawn to that darkness, in much the way I think Persephone may have been drawn to Hades, and we see her accepting and reveling in his attentions. There is wholehearted consent here. She is never forced to accept or play along with any of his kinks, they happen to be hers too. A sexually repressed Boston elite Mafia princess finds freedom in Kallum’s more dark sexuality. We see her retaking her agency throughout the book, through her active role in sex and in her eventual acceptance of their marriage.In 2018, Sav put her lifelong love of reading and writing to use and graduated with a B.A. in Creative Writing and a minor in Cultural Anthropology. Nowadays, she spends her time giving morally gray characters their happily-ever-afters. Kallum’s personality might be hard to swallow for some readers, I’ll admit that, but I found myself coming to like him. He’s a man who lost his mother young, was rejected by his family, and fell into the Mafia world when he had no other option. His penchant for violence grew from being forced to do hits for them and then was nurtured by his career in medicine. He grew up in loss, violence, and darkness, much like Hades. To him, Elena is a piece of sunshine in a dark world that he desperately clings to. The book certainly brought all the feels, and elements of all characters. Throughout the novel, the story is smooth and generally moves along well. At the end of the day if you are looking for something that you have read similar to this before and don’t mind another, then this will satisfy you. If you are looking for something more than just an average read, that you will want to engage with, then this is also something you will enjoy. Details About Promises and Pomegranates by Sav R.

Having two people immediately thrust together who don’t necessarily know anything about one another but have to find some way to work through it creates the kind of tension that leads to great stories and interesting romances. Each person has to find a way to compromise and fit together without giving up the most essential aspects of themselves. Learning to respect and support one another during difficult moments and this, oftentimes, unwanted situation.

The Author Resource Round Table on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/116489?group_id=26989 Warning: this book contains very explicit depictions of sex, including kinks like knife play, breath play, and blood. If any of these make you uncomfortable, probably best to stay away from this book. Doctor Kal Anderson assumes his heart worked at some point in his life. But at thirty-two years old, the organ in his chest seems to play a mechanical role at best. His cold, emotionless existence gives him an edge as a fixer and in-house physician for the Mafia, while his judgment is impartial and complication-free.
