The altar was supposed to be the beginning of their forever.
Instead, Devyn Stone watched the man she loved fall in front of her, turning their wedding day into a bloodbath. They honored the promise. They said the vows. But the truth that followed them down the aisle proved that some secrets don’t stay buried just because forgiveness has been given.
Azani is fighting to survive, and Devyn is left with more questions than answers. The enemy they thought they understood is only one piece of something much bigger, and the families responsible for the promise that bound them together are still carrying secrets capable of destroying everything they’ve fought to rebuild. But Devyn isn’t the same woman she was when this began.
She has spent her life being promised, protected, and kept in the dark. She survived the blood oath, betrayal, and loving a man whose secrets nearly cost them everything. Now, with her marriage, her family, and the future she never expected hanging in the balance, surviving isn’t enough anymore.
Her grandmother once taught her that women wield power differently. They don’t always announce themselves. They don’t have to charge into war to win one. Sometimes the most dangerous moves are made quietly, long before anyone realizes the game has changed. Devyn has finally learned how to play.
As old enemies resurface, buried loyalties are exposed, and generations of choices come due, Devyn and Azani must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for the life they’ve fought so hard to have. Because this time, love isn’t the only thing worth protecting.
I loved this series, so much. It had it funny moments, but I loved how Ciara Nashae let Azani show his emotions. Throughout the series all I wanted was for Dev to step up, and at the end she did just that. She made sure to have her husband back. I'm sad to see it end, but I appreciate the way that it ended. O and let's not forget I love the fact that Viv and G got their happy ending along with their baby girl. Hats off to you!! Another great series in the books.
How can I put an order in for a man like Azani? Baby, this was a man! I absolutely loved him. The way he loved, his vulnerability, and how hard he fought for his marriage made him one of my favorite MMCs. The author did such a good job writing this romance. Two people who had lost the loves of their lives somehow found genuine love with each other, and I believed every bit of it.
My only issue with their relationship was how much Azani had to fight for it. Devyn was determined to hold on to her anger, and I just wanted her to fight for him the way he constantly fought for her. Our man deserved that same energy.
Azani must’ve liked being stressed because Asad should’ve been gone a long time ago. Keeping him alive just gave him more opportunities to make everybody’s life miserable.
I really enjoyed this series. The family history was complicated, the romance was beautifully written, and Azani was everything. I just wish Devyn had spent a little less time being angry and a little more time appreciating the man she had.
A little underwhelming.. idk i started getting a bit bored.. Devyn character pmo so bad in the begging. Too much pride and ego. She been acting like she’s the only one who lost something. Even if Azani had killed Syncere unbeknownst to who he was to her then what ? Her not taking and trusting Zani word is what led up to the him almost losing his life. Anywho .. didn’t need everyone pov .. felt like fluff .. what happened to shadow or Asad i can’t remember saying that Sani would still be watched when they die .. i wanted more action; more boss moves; a little bit of shock value.. along with the love scenes… anywho nice series overall.
I don't even have the words to describe how much I enjoyed this series it was that good. Dev had me worried a little with the way she ran from Azani when he just wanted to love her. But once her eyes opened and she got out of her own way, omg it was on from there. I loved how everyone got the ending that was meant for them . Im.sad to see this series end I'd love to hear more from them and the others who love them. G . Especially him and Vivian need a book and his mom too .
The wrap up was good. Dev was getting on my nerves early on with all of the back and forth. Not trusting Azani but taking Asad's words over her own husband? Smh. The other members of Sector 2, obviously have books, I will be getting those. I felt bad for everyone losing Reagan. That pain was palpable. The relationship between Asad and Azani was just weird. And for real his wife should've been the one to kill him. She was so weak and pitiful to me. Vivi and G being together was sweet.
I normally do not leave reviews, I just read them lol. This book has brought every emotion out you could have. I loveeee that the author really took her time with Character development and growth. It wasn’t all about spice but it was mixed with real events and emotions. Ms. Author Bravo. I may reread again!
Ciara NaShae’s storytelling skills are elite, and she has officially gained a forever fan in me. What an incredible conclusion to such a captivating series. This was such a beautiful, well written conclusion to an unforgettable series. Her storytelling is top tier, and I will definitely be picking up more of her books! 📚🔥
Ciara, oh my lord what a great series! When I say every question was answered , every twist and turn was finally addressed. Every enemy was taken care of. What growth did Dev get. I love how much she grew. I love how Vivian, Antoinette and grandpa finally was able to be free. Just a great read in my opinion . Now Im getting ready to read your first series 🤗🤗🤨🤗
Baby I’m so happy for my girls !! Zuri , nanna and Antionette, because I was about to handle Asad myself!!! The tears I cried reading this was so pure sadness but joyful tears immediately after! . Thank you for a great ending.
Now I found this author randomly and have been hooked ever since, this series tho omg I can’t put into words how amazing it was honestly just read it and see. I can’t wait for whatever else is up her sleeve.
I enjoyed the ending, although it was way too many point of views. I would have liked to see more of Vivian with Geneva and Alonzo on the page instead of being told about them possibly meeting. I'm glad Azani and Devyn got their happy ending though.
This is a MUST READ SERIES….Azani and Devyn really took me through allllll the feels but one thing about it…he did not play about his Promised Bride…I highly recommend this 3 book series…now I gotta backtrack to where it all started since …1000/10
This was such an amazing epic series. It was so very well written it was emotional. It had so much depth a great story. This whole series was a 5+ stars.
OMG!!! My heart is so content. 😌 This was beautiful on every level. I don't want to put too much and give anything away, but WOW....what a masterpiece. 🤧🙌🏾
I’m glad we got a chance to see duke crazy Azz and Assad got everything he deserved by the hands of dewyn between buns and justice who has the most babies
Devyn was working my nerves in the beginning but she finally came around! I honestly could’ve done without all of the extra POVs but I still enjoyed the story nonetheless!!
This wrapped up really nicely. My only draw was the Shadow kill was so anticlimactic. Outside of that, this was good, it was refreshing to see Dev finally grow up. Much better than book two. And Nanna and G! Yasssssss finally!
First and foremost Azani is really one of them ones 😌🤏🏾. Even with Dev stressing me the hellll out lol he never stop fighting for her hat man loves her DOWN okayyyyyy! They both lost something they will never get back and still found that raw, passionate love with eachother. It took sometime but everyone who crossed them got exactly why they deserved! Regardless of all the secrets that were revealed , they still got the love they deserved! This was my first read by this author and won’t be my last.
