About this ebook

Everett Ramses came into my life like a hurricane on a dark New Orleans night. With a deep voice and penetrating gaze, his mere presence tingled my nerves and twisted my insides much like the city’s legendary stories of spirits and ghosts.

As the ruler of New Orleans, Everett Ramses lives life hard and takes what he wants without apology.

He wants me to be his queen.

I am not an unwilling capture or a damsel in distress.

No, I, Emma North, willingly fell for the man who proclaims himself the devil.

Do I follow through on the promise I made to Rett, or do I listen to my own instincts and run before it’s too late?

The future of New Orleans is now in my hands.

Have you been Aleatha'd?

Ratings and reviews

The sheer lusciousness of this story is impossible to resist. Sinfully tempting, swelteringly hot, nerve-racking and deliciously juicy, Rhett and Emma's story heads towards its conclusion in this, book two of their duet. If you haven't you really must read Fate's Demand (the prequel) and book one, Devil's Deal first. An intricate web of deep emotion, drama, suspense, twists, danger, secrets and desire will captivate and consume you as you fall deep under this romance's spell. I fell so very hard for Emma and Rhett. They generated sparks aplenty along with a massive dose of feels and swoon. This is my frank, freely posted review.

Angel's Promise exceeded my expectation. It was entertaining and had me guessing in every chapter. As I read, I tried to decide how I would react to the new bits of information that kept creeping up. The plot is fast-paced and keeps you engaged from beginning to end. The rich descriptions of every scene make you feel like you're in New Orleans. The character development throughout the entire story and focused primarily on Rett and Emma but there are some colorful characters you may love to hate. And since this is the concluding book of the Devil's Duet, you'll get your answer but expect the plot twist this author is known for. Great characterization, interesting plot, a smart, and suspenseful story I highly recommend this book duet.

4.25 stars--ANGEL’S PROMISE is the second full-length instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S DUET erotic, dark, romantic suspense series focusing on underworld businessman Everett ‘Rett’ Ramses, and twenty-six year old Emma O’Brien North. For back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the prequel novella Fate’s Demand. ANGEL’S PROMISE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the cliff hanger of book one DEVIL’S DEAL. NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. If you have not read book one, there may be spoilers in my review. Told from dual first person perspectives (Emma and Rett) ANGEL’S PROMISE picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of DEVIL’S DEAL in which Emma O’Brien has married Rett Ramses, and her past is about to come full circle with the appearance of someone she long thought dead. Secrets and lies comes to the surface as the truth about Emma’s heritage reveals a life-long connection to New Orleans, and the underworld of which Rett Ramses reigns. Emma O’Brien is a pawn in a much larger game of power and control, and in this our heroine, is no longer able to trust the man with whom she is falling in love. People will die, power will shift, as Emma must come to terms with the past, the present, and her possible future. As Rett battles his need for the woman who has stolen his heart, our (anti)hero prepares to scour the city is search of the people intending to destroy his life. The relationship between Rett and Emma is a battle of wills; a growing love that will be threatened by secrets and lies, and Rett’s need to control and protect our story believing she held all the power in their imbalanced relationship. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense, and not without some moments of questionable intent. ANGEL’S PROMISE continues to focus on the need for control, not only of the city but of our story line heroine. Emma’s true identity reveals a deeper and darker connection to the city Rett loves but said connection is desperate to take back the power that comes with the claiming of our story line heroine. The premise is dramatic, dark and twisted; the characters are complex and deep; the romance is edgy and provocative. ANGLEL’S PROMISE is a decadent and sensual story of power, betrayal, acceptance and love.
