A Million Promises: An Unhinged Romance: The Legacy Contract
Some promises are made to be broken… but the ones that come with a price? Those are the ones that change lives forever.
Savanna Heartz never expected to cross paths with Kairo Steele again—the reckless young producer from Compton who built his empire off beats, bullets, and bad decisions. She never imagined that a simple business deal—a few haircut appointments—would pull her into his world of money, power, and dangerous promises.
But when Kairo presents her with a million-dollar contract—not for music, not for business, but for his legacy—Savanna is faced with a decision that could change her life.
One million per child.
A secluded mansion to carry them in peace.
A contract to keep their arrangement airtight.
It’s business. Nothing more.
Except Kairo is not a man who plays fair. Not in the streets. Not in the industry. And definitely not when it comes to the woman he wants.
As their lines blur, so do the dangers around them. His jealous wife won’t let go, his enemies want his head, and the past they’re both running from is more connected than they ever imagined.
When love, lust, and loyalty collide, one thing is certain—not every promise is meant to be kept.
A Million The Legacy Contract is an intense, unfiltered hood romance packed with power moves, obsession, and a love so deep it could destroy them both.
Are you ready for Kairo? Because once he locks in, he doesn’t let go.

Starts With a Bang
I wasn't sure if this was a serial or not, but it definitely is, so if waiting for a story to unfold over several books isn't your thing, bow out.
That's where I'm stuck. The overall storyline is toasty, warm and a little of butter. The writer is very capable, so even when the characters are a little teeny tiny bit bird brained, you care. The characters aren't ratchet or unintelligent, but they do feel low vibrational plate-ish😄.
#CastofCharacters
The characters have low goals and concerns. They are caught up in Social Media things; likes and clicks determine their moves. We are watching a Kevin Gates or Cardi B/OffSet style drama. I vaguely care about those empty headed plays in real time, but there is also a murder mystery to watch unfold.
#JadedWife
Prime example Jada aka the wife aka wifey Podcast interview response: "yeaaa my man may sleep with other women but they are the accessories and I'm wifey" ...me: 😐😮💨. She's vapid but I get it. She's the other woman in the story so she's not meant to have depth but others respond as if that was top tier diss and now I'm back to confusion-land.
#BigMoneyMMC
I love a good cheating trope it usually brings the angst but Kai tells us upfront he doesn't love his wife (good reason), he has zero need for her but she's good for his image, or something, so it's complicated. Also, he's not very unhinged here. I'm guessing it'll come out in other books. He's possessive, but not the "I don't even see any other girls, but you" type dialed in, but more in the "I gotta have you way".
#BrownSkinGreenEyeBBW
We have Vannah aka Savannah a thick'ems beauty with a singer for a BF. She seems really lackadaisical about her man and not feeling him, but instead of breaking up with him because he gives nothing, I guess he does something for her social media image.... or something. Is she willing to risk it all for her childhood sorta friend turned game changer?
#PlotisPlotting??
So that's the story set up. A lot of some things but their focus feels immature goals. They don't move like adults with power about to muck something up. Instead it gives childish Social Media checkers not chess energy 😄. Some of it really does feel like a Cardi B-OffSet argument playing out on the pages.
#StoryPace
Like with all serials, the pacing throws the book off. We get an entire book of build-up. Some aspects don't quite go anywhere yet, and the buildup feels unnecessarily stretched out to reveal a good abrupt ending to lead into Book 2. So just when it starts to get a little intriguing BAM! it ends. Book 2 didn't take long to release so hopefully the full set will be done by Summer.
Overall:
It's not a bad read. It's the perfect book to pull out in between reads. I will prefer to get the full story versus waiting for each book to drop monthly or weekly. That will improve the enjoyment for myself.

signed & SEALED!!!
This book had me gagging every chapter! My imaginary pearls? Gone. My edges? Snatched. Kairo Steele set the bar so high for book baes that real men could never. I thought I wouldn’t like Savannah (because she had my man 🙄), but baby, I love her! Big Vannah, not the little one. Even Kairo’s mama had a point—he needs to pick a side (Savannah, obviously). Monet and Savannah’s friendship…Chef’s kiss. But the real villain? Jada. I’m sick of her and her bad, butch-built body. She has to GO. This book was WILD, crazy, and everything. 5 star read, Book 2! I am ready ..!!! Robin did her BIGGEST one!

March 26, 2025
hat ending left me completely SPEECHLESS! A CONTRACT THOUGH!!!
First off I really don’t care too much about an arrogant and cocky man! You know the kind that feels they poop don’t stink! Well that’s what you got from Kairo. This man knew he was that ninja -Lol!
He went for want he wanted and he always got it. Like me knew he was that person and it didn’t help that women made him feel as if he was. The money, power and respect he had was different! Like everyone was slightly scared of him in a weird way - lol! However he did get the woman he wanted - Savanna! He met his match when he connected with her, but that proposal/contract, babe I wasn’t ready and money is not a factor to him at all. Kairo lived and believed that money can and will get him everything he wanted and needed! But that wife of his Jada. I just don’t like her 🤣 she mad and hurt behind her own action. Girl BYE!!!!
Can we talk briefly about his mother? Listen, she’s been keeping a secret on how his father past, but when that comes out and I believe it will, he is going to be a force to be reckoned with and she’s not going to like it. But the way she hello him with that contract! I was not ready for that and the fact it’s not the first one - 🫣🫣!
I’m not going to get on Jada to much as she a HOT DANG MESS!!!!
My girl Savanna had a lot of baggage she kept to herself - her mother death! Listen, I honestly don’t know how I would’ve responded finding out how my mother was killed. She knew her mom wasn’t perfect but all in all she was still her mom! But that father, he needs to be punched in the throat - lol! However guilt is no joke and another form of karma. Gully played a big factor with his actions. Savanna made a name for herself and was doing well to be so young and a man on her arm. That man there - lol. He do so confused and needs to figure it out -lol Until she reconnected with Kairo, who started to flip her world upside down but in a good 😝 to certain extent! I just pray she make the right decision and not allow money to make the decision got her. She’s feeling him just as much as he’s feeling her and both are masking them feelings.
There is so much that can still be f discussed about this read, but know that I’m ready for that Part 2!!

Book Review 📕:
Like where do I start OMG ROBIN!!!!!
I love the story lines the characters development. Kairo is something else. But I understand him he gets whatever he wants; I also think that further down the road it’s not going to be a legacy contract with Savanna. What I mean by that is it’s going to be a mutual as in they both gonna wanna be together and not trying sneak and mess around anymore. But first thing first we gotta get Jada miserable ass out the way. She’s only looking for herself and her image. That’s messed up on what she put kairo through. I’m very interested in what went down with savanna mother and the pastor? Like what did pastor Ron wife do? Who killed pastor Ron and savanna mother? I wanna know what savanna father hiding; where he gets the money from. On snap! Who has the baby savanna mother was pregnant with??? I love savanna she’s a fucking boss bitch not letting Jada see her sweat. I believe Jada is about to go after savanna hard due to her having her own and she don’t need a man for anything so there’s going to be a jealous streak. Savanna need to leave Keenan and Julius be; that chapter in relationship is over. He’s just too chick shit to see it. I love Kai he’s so possessive . I need more unhinged in book 2 from Kai and the what’s going on in the streets with Kai illegal business. Can’t wait for book 2 add me on the list… Book is done ✅

Cliffhanger
Okay these ppl are nuts and pass the point of being unhinged.
Kai- why does he want to be a father so bad?
Why didn’t he leave his wife? Ok he claims it’s for image but at he’s street dude and producer why does his image even MATTER when HE OPENLY CHEATS ON HIS WIFE AND SHE OPENLY DISCUSS HOW HE CHEATS. Makes no sense.
Savanna- She wants to portray herself as some bad b$tch but she chooses to settle simply because the man is “nice” and “brings her clients”?
Also she gave in so easily to Kai. It honestly didn’t take too much.
She’s acting like she’s out smarting him but really she doesn’t come across that bright to me. No offense but you’re a side to a married man and “your boyfriend”.
Idk I didn’t care for the story at first but good thing the author pointed out how unrealistic the story is.
I’ll probably come back strictly because I not find out more about the cliffhanger.
Also for this man to be so gangster he could have just offed Jada instead of allowing this lady to hold you hostage. Especially when it’s clear she’s using you and after that huge lie she told.
But it’s all image right?
Makes no sense because most producers are behind the scene not in front of the cameras so the image usually wouldn’t matter. As long as they aren’t doing anything nefarious.
Anyway this was an okay read.

Too stunned…1000/10 ⭐️
Robin had me holding my breath the entire time with what she penned.
Kairo Steele is a mystery. A man on the edge but holds all the weight and power in his hand. He needs a real queen to stand with him and give him what his hearty truly desires. Because what he got ain’t even scratching the surface of his standard.
Savanna Heartz has overcome A LOT! Experiencing a gruesome and traumatic event as a child has warped her in ways unimaginable. Yet, she’s a success and also young and free. She has a man, but heart wants more.
Kairo has complications to his situation but he comes at Savanna steady and strong, applying all the pressure. I am impatiently waiting on book 2! 😩🤦🏾♀️

Pressure .. applied
Savana really went through a lot at a young age …Losing one parent and then the other one checks out .. definitely a lot to deal with. Seems like a whole bunch of secrets on both sides will definitely be revealed.
Kairo applied the right pressure and was not letting up … I feel like he definitely met his match.Meanwhile he tryna make Savanna his one and only and Jada not trying to give up the spot 🥴 sis def ain’t going down without a fight …. She low down for what she did … she made her bed not she gotta live in it . I can’t wait for what WE all know about Kenann to come to light cause 1+1 … let me head to part 2 cause with this contract I KNOW it’s about to be messy

A new book bae
I absolutely enjoyed getting introduced to Kai Steele. This book has the perfect balance of unhinged and romance all in one. Kai is something else but I have a feeling he is not prepared for the energy Savannah is going to bring him. I have a feeling what is supposed to just be a contract is going to turn into much more. Getting Jada out the picture is not going to be easy either. Can’t wait to see how this story develops in part 2.

3.5 stars. It was an okay read. Started off really good then it kinda went downhill. For starters, the number of times Maybach was mentioned was unnecessary.
Another review described this book perfectly when they said it was a “low vibrational” read. If you’re interested in the cheating trope with no real depth to the storyline, go for it.
Also, how are y’all calling this serial cheater “book bae”?! STAND UP!

March 26, 2025
hat ending left me completely SPEECHLESS! A CONTRACT THOUGH!!!
First off I really don’t care too much about an arrogant and cocky man! You know the kind that feels they poop don’t stink! Well that’s what you got from Kairo. This man knew he was that ninja -Lol!
He went for want he wanted and he always got it. Like me knew he was that person and it didn’t help that women made him feel as if he was. The money, power and respect he had was different! Like everyone was slightly scared of him in a weird way - lol! However he did get the woman he wanted - Savanna! He met his match when he connected with her, but that proposal/contract, babe I wasn’t ready and money is not a factor to him at all. Kairo lived and believed that money can and will get him everything he wanted and needed! But that wife of his Jada. I just don’t like her 🤣 she mad and hurt behind her own action. Girl BYE!!!!
Can we talk briefly about his mother? Listen, she’s been keeping a secret on how his father past, but when that comes out and I believe it will, he is going to be a force to be reckoned with and she’s not going to like it. But the way she hello him with that contract! I was not ready for that and the fact it’s not the first one - 🫣🫣!
Not going to get on Jada to much right now but she’s a HOT DANG MESS and FAKE 🤣🤣
My girl Savanna had a lot of baggage she kept to herself - her mother death! Listen, I honestly don’t know how I would’ve responded finding out how my mother was killed. She knew her mom wasn’t perfect but all in all she was still her mom! But that father, he needs to be punched in the throat - lol! However guilt is no joke and another form of karma. Gully played a big factor with his actions. Savanna made a name for herself and was doing well to be so young and a man on her arm. That man there - lol. He do so confused and needs to figure it out -lol Until she reconnected with Kairo, who started to flip her world upside down but in a good 😝 to certain extent! I just pray she make the right decision and not allow money to make the decision got her. She’s feeling him just as much as he’s feeling her and both are masking them feelings.

Not going to get on Jada to much right now but she’s a HOT DANG MESS and FAKE 🤣🤣
My girl Savanna had a lot of baggage she kept to herself - her mother death! Listen, I honestly don’t know how I would’ve responded finding out how my mother was killed. She knew her mom wasn’t perfect but all in all she was still her mom! But that father, he needs to be punched in the throat - lol! However guilt is no joke and another form of karma. Gully played a big factor with his actions. Savanna made a name for herself and was doing well to be so young and a man on her arm. That man there - lol. He do so confused and needs to figure it out -lol Until she reconnected with Kairo, who started to flip her world upside down but in a good 😝 to certain extent! I just pray she make the right decision and not allow money to make the decision got her. She’s feeling him just as much as he’s feeling her and both are masking them feelings.
There is so much that can still be f discussed about this read, but know that I’m ready for that Part 2!!

Just like her mother
Savanna is dumb asf and obviously didn’t learn anything from her mom’s situation. The whole book I kept waiting for her to get some sort of backbone but it never came.

Keep Going Robin!!!!!!
A Must Read ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was so good. it actually shed light on some pretty serious issues like mental health, love, obsession, family dynamics, trust, betrayal, power and control, self-discovery, body dysmorphia and a lot of other topics that often hide behind the surface of our community.
First off, the writing was strong, the story was engaging, and the themes were bold. What really stood out to me was how Robin tackled **mental health and ADHD in adult Black men. Normally, discussions around ADHD focus on kids, but **this novel actually explores what happens when it goes undiagnosed and untreated.
And then there’s Jada Kairo’s wife, his greatest adversary. Jada is manipulative, vindictive, and borderline unhinged, driven by the fear of losing Kairo to Savanna. instead of stepping back, she plays dangerous games using deception, secrets, and psychological manipulation to hold onto her place in his world. And honestly, while reading, I couldn’t help but ask myself 🤔is Savanna really the “good girl” here, or is she walking a dangerous line?
At first, I was humming “Why do good girls like bad guys” by DMX, but now? This isn’t your typical love story. it’s layered, complicated, and full of real moral dilemmas. Savanna is a woman drawn into the storm that is Kairo Steele, a music mogul and a gun smuggler whose empire thrives on both brilliance and shadows. And let’s be real 😮💨who doesn’t love a real bad boy? Their entanglement isn’t just about romance; it’s about survival, dominance, and love teetering on the edge of obsession.
What sets this book apart is its unfiltered look at the realities beneath the beauty of our community: Down Low men: Exploring the silent struggle between identity and expectation.
Mental health in high-pressure worlds, The lifelong effects of trauma, ambition, and generational cycles of pain.
Forbidden love; When desire becomes dangerous.
Untreated childhood ADHD in Black men: The ripple effects of neglecting mental health in boys who grow up powerful, yet emotionally wounded.
Body dysmorphia in Black women and the burden of unrealistic beauty standards and how they shape our self-worth.
Contracts that own lives The million-dollar agreement between Kairo and Savanna is both a sort of lifeline and entrapment.
At its heart, I’ll say that A Million Promises is not just another romance novel, it’s also psychological warfare novel where we see that love is lethal, survival is calculated, and trust is a rare commodity. Robin delivers a book that is both brutal, beautiful. A must-read for those who crave romance that doesn’t just entertain… it exposes truths.

I was a little hesitant to read this book. In the contents section, you can see there are more than two POVs, and I normally don’t care to read POVs that aren’t the two love interests. I stuck it out though and actually liked the additional POVs. They provided a lot of context for something that happened in Savanna’s past.
As for the rest of the book, nothing really happened. It’s just setting the foundation for the series. We learn about the characters’ backgrounds and the dynamics of relationships in this book. I’m sure shit will start popping off in the next book.
This book isn’t terrible or anything, but idk if I’m going to continue the series. I don’t feel attached to any of the characters, and Kairo and Savanna’s relationship doesn’t have any depth. I think if we spent time with them growing feelings, I would be more receptive. Lowkey, I’m more interested in Pastor Ron and Anisa’s storyline. If I ever continue the series, it’ll be because of them.
SOME OTHER THOUGHTS
(CONTAINS SPOILERS)
* Jada lying about being on birth control and Kairo cheating on her aren’t equivalent to me. One is deceptive and the other is just plain disrespectful. Kairo said it was a lie for a lie but this 🥷🏾 ain’t even lying or secretive about his cheating, so that’s not even true.
* Kairo was described as a YN in the author’s note, so I was expecting him to be in this early 20s. Mannnn this 🥷🏾 is over 30. He ain’t no YN. He just ignant 😂
* I really liked that Savanna didn’t out Keenan when Kairo was fishing for information

Something off
I love the plot, this has great potential to be great. But what the hell are these?
“Because as fast as he came? He was already leaving.”
“And then? I tucked the letter and the money away.”
“Because the truth was? I was excited.”
“But deep down? I knew she was right.”
“And my son? My son didn’t believe in forgiveness.”
They were ruining the flow of the book and I rushed to the end before I DNF’d. So many unnecessary questions marks. These would flow better as regular sentences. I was like huh. What is this? Anyway about the characters. Vanna annoyed me a little keeping her dead weight boyfriend around. She’s an entrepreneur. She’s not married to him. He doesn’t satisfy her sexually. She suspects he’s gay. They don’t have kids. So why does she stay with him? There is literally nothing keeping her there. It’s even clear she doesn’t love him. Then he threatens to break up with her and she doesn’t react. Man he would’ve got a “peace” before he finished the sentence. I guess it was to keep the story interesting. FMC has a man, MMC has a woman. The cliffhanger doesn’t have me wanting to run to book 2. This was actually my second attempt at this book but I wanted to really give the book a try. I didn’t enjoy it only because the flow was ruined and FMC was a little annoying.

Let me tell y’all something right now—this book? Yeah, it had me in a CHOKEHOLD from the first page. Savannah and Kairo might’ve known each other from back in the day, but when they locked eyes again as grown folks? Whew! The chemistry was undeniable, and baby, it was giving fated.
Now listen—Savannah had a man, but Kairo? That man did not care at all. I love a main character who moves like consequences are optional, and Kai was on go mode the moment he saw her again. The way the universe kept aligning things between them? It was giving divine intervention with a sprinkle of chaos.
This book is messy in the best way, and I’m not even mad. I refuse to spoil it because it deserves to be experienced page by page. One of my homies put me on, and now I’m passing the blessing along—do not sleep on this read. Grab your snacks, cancel your plans, and dive in. You’ll thank me later.

Absolute great read
This story caught my attention at the cover then when I started reading I was stuck and couldn't stop til the end. Sav, needs to stop pretending because she knew her so called boyfriend waa on the low and that's not where she was supposed to be anyway. It's funny how she and Kario lives reconnect and in more ways than one, can't wait to discover who killed his grandfather and her mother.
Jada knew she messed up years ago but thinking she was still secured in her marriage was a joke, she tried to intimidate Savannah but our girl held it together, loving the way the story flowed giving a little back ground of the past at the right moment in the book. This series is a must because it will have you in a grip lock wanting more, trying to guess what's going to happen next.

Whewww chileee that ending was something else 🤯 & definitely unexpected! Kai for sure goin lose his 💩 when it comes out. Also his mama seems like she may be a little unhinged herself 🤣
Kai is very cocky but it works 🤷🏾♀️ Savanna couldn’t stand on business even when she tried! Now that contract?! Baby I would’ve signed that paper so mf’n fast 🤣 I mean at this point she ain’t got nothing to lose! Now I am very curious to see what Kai does with Jada. I understand not wanting to divorce her cause he don’t wanna give up half of his fortune buttt being the street man he is, I know he can make sum shake with getting rid of her. Whewww, I can’t wait to see how this whole situation plays out!

When the Secrets Start Falling
This book was good and I’m sure there are soooo many secrets that is about to tie Kairo and Savannah in a way that neither is prepared for!!!..
My heart ached for Savannah’s dad to show up, but still leave her with so many unanswered questions with his cryptic note!!!…
That contract though, I would be spread eagle so fast!!!…
I hope Savannah is not going to ignore the 2nd sign that her man is into his best friend because baby, the moment I walked in a room and even what she seen, I would have turned around and not looks back!!!…She is for his image, because he is definitely doing in the closet!!!…

Too Busy
This book was a first from this author for me, and while the storyline had potential, the execution was too busy. The multiple character viewpoints, including two dead people, started to be a lot. Then Kai, was not a MMC that I wanted to root for. There was no BDE just FB Vibes. Savanna didn't wow me as a FMC either. She was focused on the wrong thing the entire book, even when the signs were flashing neon rainbow lights right in her face. Overall, the storyline seemed busy, and these characters didn't give me a lot to root for, so I am going to stop right here in the series and move on to something else.

I’m here for all the drama and the intrigue
Honestly this was an easy read. At first I struggled with Kairo being a married man pursuing a beautiful, successful, entrepreneur who was about her business but dealing with some demons from the past. Mind you, Savanna is also in a relationship with a weak tail up and coming singer (he so sorry). These two seem to be draw to each other but there are more sinister things happening in the background that stand to end things before they begin.
