[Shabby -BookBistroBlog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Who was Jimmy Hoffa and where is he buried?
That question has been the best kept & unsolved mystery for decades. Aleatha has a pen that just spins webs, strong inescapable threads, silky and sexy alluring. Full of hot, sigh-worthy romance and adrenaline rush of a good crime thriller.
" I don’t want any ghosts from the past coming back to life. She’s a damn ghost and if you cared about her at all, you would have left her dead.”



In this story too she has the same tone of unsolved mystery that changes Araneae McCrie. From the day she's born to the day she is kidnapped by Sterling Sparrow. Her life has turned and turned again....and turned yet again! A new villain emerges who's more dangerous than Sparrow and is getting more powerful!
Her love interest is an over protective, overbearing, all powerful King of Chicago, who has his hands bloodied and blackened with countless sins but heart is full of purest, untainted, deep love for Araneae. He rules Chicago with an iron fist, his fingers in every pie and not a leaf blows in the city without his knowledge.



If McFadden and Sparrow were both gone, every two-bit petty thief, drug dealer, numbers runner, and pimp would be vying for that top position. Right now, we keep those lowlifes in line. Without us, this city would implode.
It made me think of Lion King, of what happened when Scar allowed the hyenas to rule the land.
This installment brings all the spread out clues and tries to chart it into a decipherable plot. Araneae's life is just a breath away from being extinguished and Sterling stands like a bulletproof wall between her breaths and her enemies hell bent on destroying her.
“You’re my knight in shining armor.”
“No, sunshine. My armor is black as coal.”



“My entire life has been covered in secrets and lies. He has kept that promise".
Plot thickens, secrets are revealed but the more deeper they dig, the more layers emerge........
Standing in the midst of hurricane, the love that Araneae & Sterling share is unshakeable. It's standing tests of time and emerging victorious everytime. Sterling gets softer, Araneae becomes more accepting and trusting.
A moth to a flame? No, I was a bird, a Sparrow.
one spider— could bring this damn bird to his knees.



There's lockdowns, plane crashes, WitPros, heinous underworld rackets, nefarious illegal rings and at the center of it all- powerful men, clans, all interconnected.
But then the ultimate evidence gets unearthed!!!!!!
“What are you asking me? Do you want me to approve this obliteration of his world, my world, while leaving yours intact?”
It's the culmination of decades of blackmail, murders, thefts, double cross and separation. Aleatha is master at weaving stories of spidery intrigue. How she collects them in the end, is what sets them apart from other authors.
Go and pick up the book on Jan 8th and conclude the thrilling series
4.5 stars in the sunshine

Promises (Web of Sin #3)
By: Aleatha Romig
4.5 Stars

The conclusion we’ve all been waiting for is here!!! Promises is the final book in the Web of Sin trilogy. Make sure to have read Secrets and Lies before reading Promises.

All the chess pieces have been set up, the game of the century is being played. There are so many variables in this story, just like the game of chess. One wrong move and the game is over.

Sterling Sparrow is what Araneae needs in her life! Araneae’s life has been filled with lies. At this point, has anyone who has been involved in her life ever told her the truth? Lies, Secrets…they are all around her.

Yet, the one who made Promises to her has been the only constant in her life. The one that Everyone has warned her to stay away from.

This book reveals all the answers!! It’s a page turning story with one reveal after another. I’ve officially been Aleatha’d once again!

Aleatha Romig has outdone herself with this fantastic story!
We finally have all the answers and the puzzle is complete!!!
Promises is the perfect conclusion of the suspense filled Web of Sin trilogy!!
This whole complex story is like trying to follow a fast moving, never stopping chess game where all the pieces, or in this case the characters in play are constantly shifting and the secrets are unraveling.

A Mother’s Forever Love

The perfect ending to this amazing Trilogy! Every kind of conspiracy theory you can think of is on Aleatha Romig’s Mind when she writes her amazing books, this one being no exception! Just wow! A stupendous, magnificent, mind blowing and gripping story from start to finish, one I never wanted to end! One that you will never out guess the ending!
Who can Areneae believe? Who is telling the truth and who is telling lies? Can their promises of no more lies and no more secrets actually happen as the lies just go on exponentially? Who can untangle Areneae’ multiple lives? Does anyone know what and who is real?
I oh so highly recommend this mind blowing storyline, and book as a must read!

Araneae McCrie was born into a dangerous life shrouded in secrets and lies. She’s finally finding herself and uncovering her truths now that she’s in Chicago with Sterling Sparrow, the man who bulldozed his way into her life. The longer she’s with him, there’s no place she’d rather be than with this beautiful, intense, overbearing man she’s come to think of as hers. She was now fully part of his world, and saw the man behind the mask who had a loving, sensual side not many knew. As Araneae still questions who to believe and trust, she feels safe with Sterling.



Sterling Sparrow is the most powerful man in Chicago, yet one strong woman can bring him to his knees. He’s known Araneae was his for nearly two decades, but he never knew she’d become his Sunshine. That over time all her light would shine on his darkness. She’d become his top priority, and he would do anything to protect her, and keep her by his side. With Araneae there’s more to life than success, money, and revenge... there’s love.



-“You’ve changed my life in so many ways,” I said. “You showed me who I really am and who I can be.”

-This woman in my arms was all that I wanted in this damn world.

-“With you it’s different.”

-“You’ve made me want what I’ve never before wanted.”

-“You’re the fucking best thing I’ve ever had in my life.”



Promises is book three in the Web of Sin trilogy by Aleatha Romig. It’s the amazing conclusion to the love story of Sterling and Araneae where we finally get the truth behind all the secrets and lies. We get the answers we’ve been wanting about this dark romance filled with danger, intrigue, mystery, and passion. I loved everything about this series and this complex man! Sterling Sparrow is sexy and alpha to the extreme, and one of my all time top book boyfriends. This series is just fantastic!!!

There's a saying I've grown up hearing and I repeat it to this day - 'Everything in darkness must soon come to light'. I feel that this was most definitely true in this book. All of the secrets and all of the lies were finally out in the open and Araneae's life was in more danger than ever.

Answers abound in this conclusion of the Web of Sin series. Amidst the drama and the danger, Sterling and Araneae grew closer, making them more of a united force than ever. Nothing and no one was going to take them down, not without a fierce fight from either or both of them. I loved how much more confident and self-assured Araneae was in this book, which made her quite the match for the formidable Sterling. I could finally see what kind of queen she would be and she had proven herself to be deserving.

The author did a remarkable job of blending the romance, intrigue and suspense. I think the different perspectives and flashbacks only added to the continuity of the story, giving us, the reader, the chance to truly understand the machinations of this book. Why was Araneae's life in danger? Who was responsible for her being taken from her parents? And what did her father know and what kind of proof did he have that started this all in the first place?

I had so many questions going into this one, as I'm sure many of you will too, but rest easy because the author left no loose ends and gave us a worthwhile and seriously sweet ending.

4,5 « favorite of the series » stars

 

Thank you Aleatha for sending this copy even when I told you that I would not be able to review on time for the release!

It’s my favorite of the trilogy!

I really liked the other ones of course but what I adored in this one was putting all the jigsaw puzzle pieces together to guess the truth!

In this last installment we are left with wanting to guess what happened to drive Aranea to the Marsh when she was a baby.

How did Josey Marsh become her mother? Who gave Aranea to them? Was her father aware that she has been given away or not? What role did Sterling’s father played in this exactly?

 

Then of course there is still this “old wives tale” about Aranea owning important information that could be the demise of Rubio. But how could it be possible as she was a baby when she’s been “kidnapped” from her birth mother?

 

If this is not enough there is still the problem of the FBI wanting to bribe Aranea to feed them information able to destroy the Sparrow empire.

 

Oh and let’s not forget some kidnapping and other intimidating attempts.

 

As you can see Aranea, Sterling and their “extended familiy” or “the boys” alias Reid and Patrick (plus Lorna but then I guess I can’t call them the boys anymore) had their hands full!

 

You never have a dull moment. It’s thrilling and my brain was working overtime trying to guess before them *of course you try to find it before the characters do! Where would be the pleasure otherwise? Duh!* what happened twenty six years ago but also ten years ago when Aranea *known as Renee at that time, follow please!*became Kennedy.

 

Well I’ve spoken aplenty of the suspense but let’s not forget the love story here. Because Sterling and Aranea in barely one months took not baby steps but giant leaps in their relationship.

From rebelling to be forced to live in Chicago in golden cage and contesting every order Aranea is now happy with her fate as she could see behind the mask Sterling offers to the world. She is now understanding his world even if she does not want to know all the details.

Of course she would not have become so “compliant” if Sterling did not change and agreed to “ask” instead of “imposing”; to try to see it from her point of view and explain. But Sterling will always be possessive and protective and an overbearing Alpha! Let’s just say that he mellowed a little but that it’s mainly Aranea who is now convinced that he has her best interest at heart and does everything with a loving intention!

 

Now an important word here.

Aranea is really strong and resilient. She chooses a difficult path: seeing the light instead of seeing the darkness everywhere. That’s not to say she has rosy glasses and is ignorant. No she is aware of the ugliness of the world.

BUT

Aleatha reminded us of something very important here.

You may see on the news, in the streets some dark and ugly events. But remember that these if they are loudly displayed are only a small part of the world and that the majority of people are good. Our world is beautiful more than it is ugly.

That was Aranea’s choice and that’s also why she was perfect to balance Sterling and draw him into her light.

 

I know that some may be furious with Aranea. Because yes she chose to love a mobster. Someone who did and still does bad things. Don’t be fooled here Sterling is not the white knight! He is Aranea’s white knight and he has mobster “ethics” as he draws the line at children. He did wonderful things for victims. But he remains a mafia man. Aranea’s choice to live and accept his world without wanting to see too much of it will displease some readers. They won’t agree with her choice.

And that’s fine I get it. Personally as this is a work of fiction and me being a big romantic with “love conquers all” etc it did not really bother me.

 

Ok I am stopping here promise!

It’s just been a hell of a ride and I had a fantastic time reading this trilogy.

 

I recommend these books to lovers or Alpha male and strong heroine who are in heaven with stories happening in the dark underbelly of this world.

 
Have you read Aletha's books?
 

Thanks for reading!

YASSSS!!!!! Ahh! I LOVE IT!!!

All the FEELS, all the ANSWERS, all the suspense and thrills and the roller-coaster you NEED. It's the perfect ending to this trilogy. Sterling is the ultimate hero--he's always there for Araneae, always protecting her, always deliciously sexy.

It's the book you've been waiting for. Block off some time, because you won't be able to put it down!

Sterling + Araneae forever!

[Krazyʕ•ᴥ•ʔKoala · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reading this book I finally realized something,I don't like mafia romance,because in such romances even if hero is wrong his mistakes(not mistake exactly it is murder,illegal stuff) are ignored because duh he is hero and he will continue doing that and I don't like such people who don't get punished for their crime and people who support them or people who think all this is fine.
Anyway I gave the above rating for mystery.

[Pam Godwin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sigh-worthy finish to a breathtaking series.

Sterling Sparrow is just the right balance of overbearing brute and devoted hero as every secret is exposed, every lie resolved, and every promise kept. It's a glorious ride.

5 “Well Done” Stars


The Promises of Answers to all the Secrets and Lies in the Web of Sin Series came full circle. There were so many answers that needed to be answered, I wasn’t sure it could be done. But this ever talented author crossed every t and dotted every i and completely shined the light in this dark and twisted love story.

Araneae’s past is fully revealed in Promises. There are many revelations that she must face and Sterling is always at her side. Her safely and well being is always front and center and the love and trust between Araneae and Sterling becomes ever solid. He is the protective, controlling King of the Chicago Underworld who will stop at nothing to keep his Queen from harm. I must also add that I love the dynamics that Sterling and Araneae have with Reid, Lorna and Patrick and how these 5 become their own type of family.

So in getting the answers, all the connections, from the past and the present, flowed effortlessly. The hows and why were trickled slowly throughout the read but the storyline was fast and addictive. It was captivating and filled with passion, mystery, and danger. This series also has many players and each adds a different and interesting element to the story.

If you like a dark romance, with many twist and turns, a sexy alpha male and a feisty heroine, then I would highly recommend you read this series. This author and her amazing twists and turns will keep you engaged, mystified and oh so Aleatha’d.

Great book!



This book was so good I 've been looking forward to finally getting the answers I wanted from this series. There have been so many twists and turns going on this series and this book was no different. Araneae and Sterling haven't had an easy ride. They have had everything thrown at them and in this book it's just the same. My heart breaks for Araneae she doesn't know what is goin on the secrets and lies just keep coming. It's only Sterling that is keeping her sane. I luv that man! He will do anything for this woman that was alway meant for him and now he has her there isn't a chance he's letting go. So he will do anything to protect her.



I really enjoyed this book. The story throughout as been so addictive. I 've been hooked from the start. The twists and turns were alway so good and just made it so good. They really kept me in my toes. Even though there is a lot of suspense through this series the romance was still there. Sterling and Araneae are amazing characters. They have both changed so much throughout this series. Araneae has gotten so much stronger and Sterling has finally let someone in that he can trust and love. That was something he never thought would happen. This just made me luv him more. I would highly recommend this book and series. You do have to read it in order and there is cliffys so be warned but it is worth it. The story just keeps getting better and better with every book. I m so excited to see what this author does next.

What an incredible series! In this last installment, Promises are made, Secrets unravel, Lies are revealed and the Web of Sins beautifully and thoroughly get disentangled.

"A man’s word is either—”“Either his most valuable tool or his most respected weapon.”


Aleatha Romig 's tone once again worked her magic, her characters evolved and at the same time stayed true to themselves. Sterling's protectiveness won me over and Araneae's strenght and increased self-confidence were well handled. 


The line between good and bad was crossed and I loved the ambiguity between the Knight in shining armor and the King of the Chicago underworld...

“You’re my knight in shining armor.”“No, sunshine. My armor is black as coal.”


Promises perfectly concludes this fabulous series I recommend if you are in the mood for a thrilling and sexy read. Enjoy!

I'm still in book heaven after reading Promises. The secrets, the lies it all ends here and I couldn't ask for a better way to end this intriguing, mysterious trilogy. Sterling Sparrow proves to be a swoon-worthy hero by that way he takes care of things just to protect Araneae and the people she loves. He's a man of his word. While Araneae continuous to amaze me how strong, resilient she is as she faces life's challenges. The question now is, will they still be together after knowing the truth?

My excitement to this series didn't falter from beginning to end. It's a good, well-written story that kept me glued to the pages. I even enjoyed the secondary characters the likes of Annabelle, Reid, Patrick, and Lorna. This series is one for the book for me. Unforgettable. Highly recommended series.

Promises concludes Sterling Sparrow and Araneae McCrie’s enthralling narrative of lies, secrets and promises. Answers to Araneae’s unique history is unveiled in its sordid yet compelling entirety in unexpected, gripping ways that will leave you in awe of Aleatha Romig’s compelling writing and thrilling scenes.

I sighed, melting against him, my softness against his hardness. We were opposites in so many ways, yet we fit together perfectly as our hearts beat as one.

Araneae and Sterling’s chemistry continues to heat up, becoming more passionate; feverish and intense, with an increasing amount of affection and adoration. Better communication and understanding of each other’s desires abound amidst the lurking danger and shadowing drama, pulling this couple closer together more than ever.

While Araneae’s newfound confidence hasn’t diminished, she’s less stubborn and more attuned to Sterling’s wishes to keep his love safe from quiet enemies. She still pushes and pulls; however, she recognises when it is imperative to follow Sterling’s demands, even when they feel overbearing.

"In a short time, she taught me that I was capable of more than power and violence. She showed me that I can love. That's the woman I want to share my name, my life, my bed forever."

Web of Sin received a worthwhile conclusion, tying up this trilogy fantastically. Aleatha Romig did wonderfully maintaining a balance between drama and intrigue; ensuring good character growth; and supporting realistic, steady relationship progression.

Thrilling does not come close to describing this book. Promises is the conclusion to the Web of Sins trilogy and I'm happy to have reached the end although I will miss the characters.

Promises is the finale of Araneae and Sterling’s story,and it gives the closure i needed.
Glimpses into the past clears up the mystery about the how and why bit by bit.
As danger lurks around the corner,Sterling does everything he can to keep Araneae and her loved ones safe.
And at the same time,he,Patrick and Reid are doing their best to find out where the danger comes from.
Their gut tells them it’s her uncle,Rubio mcFadden,but they need evidence…..

Aranea and Sterling’s relationship is growing stronger every day and they have no…almost no….secrets between them.
She knows he can’t tell her everything,but knows she can trust him to tell her what she needs to know.
And her confidence….it grows every day,and it’s because of him.
That gives her the strenght to talk to the mother she never had,her birth mother,judge Annabel Landers.
And it gives her see reason when he puts her,and Lorna,on lockdown when Louisa is kidnapped.
After she spends a long time raging and cursing him that is….

There was too much going on in this final part to go into more detail,but i can tell you it was one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
With a very satisfying conclusion.

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Worth all the wait and more!! WOW!

Promises definitely delivered. We get all the answers we wanted, but now without a bit of suspense and drama mixed in beforehand.

I am not sure what I can say without giving too much away.

Sterling definitely proves his worth in protecting Araneae at any cost. Araneae proves that she is strong and has no problem heading any obstacle with determination and a fierceness I have come to love.

Aleatha definitely knows how to give us the action, suspense, drama and romance that we crave and write it beautifully. She always keeps us on our toes and leaves with a baited breath. While I felt some things were wrapped up a little too nicely, I still devoured the hell out of this book and the entire series.

Promises is a great ending to another fabulous trilogy!!! If you have not read this trilogy - now is your chance. They are all released and you can binge read your heart out!

Man, oh man! Have I been waiting for this bad boy to hit my kindle. I mean, the way the last book left off, I was once again on pins and needles desperate for the outcome. Would everything work out for Sterling and Araneae? Would we get all of our answers?? I couldn’t wait to find out….

Promises was everything I had wanted and hoped for in a conclusion to this series. Once again I found myself totally glued to the pages and hypnotized by the storyline. I was completely and totally hooked with no hope of putting this book down. The writing and the characters were just as addictive as I found them in book one and in fact, I think I fell for them all a little bit more.

In book 3, Araneae and Sterling’s relationship is once again put to the test, but if there’s one thing I know about these two, it’s that their bond can withstand anything that life throws at them. I am simply in awe with how far these two have come; how deep their love, trust and respect for one another is. They make the perfect team and I just love watching them overcome all the obstacles that life throws at them.

Promises is the suspenseful and heart pounding conclusion to the Web of Sin Series. The twists and turns had me holding my breath with the suspense and danger kept me on the edge of my seat. As you know from the previous books, I’ve had a million and one burning questions and am happy to report that we do get answers to all of those questions. Hit after hit, bombshell after bombshell….let me just say, there was never a dull moment. Promises was everything that I was hoping it would be and in the end left me with a huge, satisfied smile on my face.

Aleatha Romig has totally outdone herself with Promises and the Web of Sin Trilogy. From sexy good times, to dark and twisted, I loved every single moment of being Aleatha’d and can not wait to see what wild ride she has in store for us readers next!

Phenomenal.

Promises ~ book 3 in the Web of Sin series by Aleatha Romig does everything it say’s on the cover. This book promises to answer all your questions from the other two books, it gives you a better insight into the man that is Sterling Sparrow and who Araneae really is.

I was so pleased to finally get the ARC of this book so I could continue my obsession with this couple and these people. This book blew me away with the in-depth way the underground cartels worked.

No matter what you think you will get from this series, one thing for me was the way in which in between the lines Aleatha keeps to the morals of what is good and what is evil, she addresses something that is still going on to this day but puts it in a way that makes you stop and think.

The twists and turns in this series have been brilliant; in this book you are not disappointed. Aleatha keeps you guessing right up until the end of what to think and what will happen.

In promises Araneae and Sterling have more hurdles to deal with, more than anyone would think is possible. Araneae has so much to deal with, so much to comprehend and think through what is true and what is lies but through it all she stay’s strong to her own feelings, her own intuition.

I love how Sterling set out with one objective and then everything turned around for him; however, his one main goal that has never diminished is his commitment to keep Araneae safe. He has shown in this book that no matter what she is his No.1 priority and he will do everything in his power to make her see that.

One sentence capitalises all three books that I loved so much

“You uncovered the Secrets and Lies, and through it all, you kept your word – your Promises “
I can’t wait for more from Aleatha with her dark writing.

You can see this and other Reviews I have written along with various cover reveals, excerpts, and giveaways here Nadine's Obsessed with Books

The Conclusion to the Web of Sin trilogy is here and can I just say that I am sad that Araneae and Sterling's story is over. I have loved the two of them from the very beginning, there was never a doubt in my mind that they were perfect for one another and that they were absolutely meant to be together.

Aleatha Romig is a true genius with her writing. As with the first two books I was sucked right in and didn't put it down until I was finished, sleep eh who needs that.

Sterling is truly someone that you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of and let's just say that if you dare come after Araneae, things will not end well for you. We find out not just what Sterling is capable of doing but what Araneae is capable of as well. They are a very powerful couple and while he does some pretty horrible things, his words not mine, he does some pretty amazing things as well. I wish i could share them with you but that would give away to much but let me tell you that tears were definitely shed while reading the ending of their story.

I have a feeling that we will be seeing more of Araneae and Sterling though, in other books like Twisted which is due out this May...can you tell how excited I am!!!!

This trilogy must be read in the correct order otherwise you will be lost and you don't want that so make sure you start with Secrets. I highly recommend this series for lovers of Romantic Suspense, Dark Romance, Organized Crime Romances, even Contemporary Romances....this really is a must read if you enjoy Aleatha Romig's work. Happy Reading!!!
