I knew the moment I met Analise Walker, my life, my soul would never be the same.We’d met by chance, a random encounter having her crash into my life when I least expected it. Our whirlwind romance was instant, my craving for her insatiable.

In the end, we’d always managed to emerge. Together… Stronger.No matter what tragedy found us, we knew as long as we had each other, we’d rise above the debris, push beyond the pain and heartache. Analise and I were unstoppable. We were survivors.Until suddenly… we weren’t.When the tremors of fate pull you under, what will you sacrifice?

Wow!! What an amazing read The Sacrifice is. Kate Benson has really pulled it out of the bag with this one, I'm a massive fan of The Promise Series but this is definitely my favourite book so far. It will have you on the most emotional rollercoaster you can imagine, laughing and crying from one page to the next as we see Drake and Ana deal with everything life is about to throw at them and the sacrifices they may both have to make.

Kate Benson has once again blown the ball right out of the park with this book. The Sacrifice is book six in The Promise series. You will be on the edge of your seat from start to finish. This is one hell of a gripping and emotional rollercoaster of a read. This is a must read.

~5 ++++ Stars~
There are no adequate words to express how very much I loved this book!!!! I don’t think there are enough stars to give it. It’s at the very top of my list of all-time, favorite novels. It’s an amazingly beautiful and emotional book! I don’t believe a book or characters have affected me or found such a special place in my heart as Drake and Ana have.
Ana and Drake broke my heart in this one. I got to see sides of them I never even realized were there. Ana has kept her illness so hidden that I, like Drake, had no idea she was in the state of mind that she was in. She’s dealing with all sorts of issues, I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to spoil a thing. What she is trying to overcome is expressed in a very realistic way. It won’t be an easy or quick fix, and Benson’s pacing is perfect. I got to see a side of Drake I never knew existed. He is dominant and strong, yet I saw that even he has a breaking point and a weakness, and that’s Ana. It’s a story in which two broken people are trying everything to make it back to one another….whatever the sacrifice might be! It’s a perfect title for the book!
Benson also allows us to catch up with our other favorite characters as well. Jack finally might get some happiness in his life as well, and I was thrilled to meet Jenna up close and personal. I love the different POVs. Getting to know old characters and new ones is what draws me into this great group of people. And…..the icing on the cake is Matty. Most of the book is heavy and emotional, but Matty gives you plenty of laughs whenever he is around. I just love him to pieces!!!
Benson manages to continually build on her characters yet she keeps it fresh. She deals with some heavy, sensitive issues, but she always does it in a very compassionate and understanding way. I not only sympathized with Ana, but also with Drake. Drake lets us see a side to him that very few ever get to see. Ana has a very important story to tell, one that many people deal with. Kate Benson loves her characters and their stories. It’s very evident with each page I read. They leap off the page and will find a way into your heart. Ana and Drake have been a part of every single book in the series, yet I had no idea of the depth or complexity each of them possessed. As usual, Benson leaves us with unanswered questions. She has a unique way of weaving some mystery into the breathtaking romance that leaves us coming back for more. This one is her best yet!!!!

The Sacrifice by Kate Benson is book 6 in The Promise Series. This series is by far one of my absolute favorite of all time! If you haven't read the others, you must start at book 1 or you'll be lost.
This book was absolutely amazing!!! I've always known Kate Benson has a way of twisting your insides with a story, and leaving you on the edge of your seat, wanting more, but this time, I was sure I wouldn't survive it!
The emotions the characters in this story feel are so raw, so real that you feel like it's you that's living the tale!
I've loved Ana and Drake since the beginning of the series, and always wanted more of their story, but this book really opened my eyes to them and made me long to see their Happily ever after. Their love is like no other!
Along with the emotional roller coaster ride, we also get the amazingly hilarious side of the characters.
I'm now more intrigued about one of the secondary characters, Marty!! I can't wait to find out more!! His charm and sense of humor have done me in and I'm a forever fan ❤️
We also got a bit more of Jack! I just love him!! Jack is one of a kind. His soul is beautiful! He deserves nothing but happiness and I hope he finds all he's ever wanted!
The Sacrifice is a book filled with love, anguish, laughter, and raw emotion!! It's definitely a must read!!

WOW what an AMAZING book! If you haven't read this series by Kate Benson you are totally missing out but you must start with book 1 "The Promise" if not you'll be totally lost. The Sacrifice had me on one hell of an emotional roller coaster! Ana and Drake broke my heart; I can only hope in book 7 things will work out for them. The Sacrifice had me on the edge from the very first line to the very end. Once again Kate has knocked it out out of the park.
Kate Benson is an amazing author although she is known as the "Queen of Cliffhangers" she writes one hell of story and does not disappoint. Give Kate's books a try; I promise you'll absolutely love them.

As with all of Kate Benson's stories you will find yourself experiencing emotions that were hidden, when she writes she brings out the best in her characters and makes you feel each one of their pains and sorrow. This book will give you the answers you need but be prepared Kate will still cause you to throw you kindle and scream...great job loved every bit of it!

Cliff hanger
I have loved all this series so far, but with this book it seemed to jump to much, not only was it on about Drake and Ana, it also had chapters on Brad and Emily and chapters in Jack and Jenna, don't get me wrong it's good but you'd get to a really good part on Drake and Ana then it would jump to Jack and Jenna, where I just wanted to read about what was happening with the main two characters. This happen so much in this book that's why I only give 4 stars, it was for no other reason because I live the series and I would definitely recommend.

Heartbreaking
I think the sacrifice is probably the most difficult book to read out of this whole series. It is filled with so much pain I don't think my heart can take much more. It's so beautifully written, the author has clearly poured her soul into the pages,you can feel it touching your own.
