Blurb

Leo Byrne is a cop, Jason Banks is an ex-con. Even after one stolen kiss, something has to give before Leo can convince Jason that falling in love is even an option.

Adopted at a young age, Leo is part of the sprawling Byrnes family. With his dog Cap, three siblings and a whole mess of nieces and nephews, he is never lonely, and his life is full. Love is the last item on his to-do list, but seeing his best friends Sean and Eric happy and making new families makes him want things he doesn’t think is possible. Kissing Jason at an event to honor his bravery was one thing, but anything other than that is off limits. Until Jason has no one left to turn to, and it’s Leo who helps him at his lowest. Taking Jason and his daughter into his home is one thing, but falling for the ex-con is something else altogether.

Jason made a deal to keep his daughter safe and spent years behind bars as a result. Volunteering as a convict firefighter was as much about helping the community as saving his sanity, but now that he’s out, he doesn’t even have that. He’s lost his future, his self-respect, and has no friends or a place to call home. Worst of all, even after rescuing his daughter he still can’t keep her safe from the man who wants to use her as a bargaining chip for money. Meeting Leo might give Jason a way to keep Daisy safe, but falling for the stubborn cop means the truth has to be revealed, and he could lose everything all over again.

It's RJ Scott. How can you go wrong?

This third installment of the Single Dads series takes place shortly after the events of Today (Single Dads #2).

The character Jason, who saved the life of Fighter (and former housemate) Eric from dying in a fire, is brilliantly written as a strong yet obstinate man, fiercely dedicated to his daughter and equally as dedicated to the thought that as an ex-con, he had no future with Leo, the cop from the previous two novels.

Jason's daughter Daisy is simply adorable.

Leo, however, is a totally different story. He is also a brilliantly written character totally dedicated to the protection of Jason and Daisy, to the exclusion of everything else.

The story line could have been taken straight from the news headlines, it was that realistic. There were a couple of places where it dragged a little, but other than that it flowed smoothly.

There were a couple of references about events that happened in the previous books that should have been explained a little better, which would have strengthened the story.

All-in-all it's a must read story that belongs on everyone's eBook reader and bookshelf.

I give Promise 4.5 out of 5 stars.
