About this listen

 The New York Times bestselling author of Neon Gods heats up the page with this spicy, dark mafia romance where a man out for vengeance falls in love with the daughter of his mortal enemy.

"Buckle up and hold on, because Forbidden Promises is breathtaking romance with heart-stopping action and unexpected twists and turns." —USA Today

Some lines should never be crossed ... not even for love.

Sloan O'Malley just left her entire world behind-her family, her wealth, and even her real name. For the first time in her life, she's free. She can live the "normal" life she's always wanted: A life without fear. But there's nothing safe about her intensely sexy next-door neighbor.

Jude MacNamara has no room for innocence in his life. Only revenge. Still, he's never been able to walk away from the forbidden, and Sloan—who is every inch of pure, mouthwatering temptation—has forbidden written all over her. Only after it's way too late does he discover the real danger: claiming Sloan as his puts a target on her back.

To protect her, Jude is willing risk everything ... and to hell with the consequences.

"A tension-filled plot full of deceit, betrayal, and sizzling love scenes will make it impossible for readers to set the book down. This installment stands alone, but new readers will certainly want to look up earlier books."—Publishers Weekly on Forbidden Promises
"A great read from the talented Robert!"—RT Book Reviews
"The O'Malley series is one of my all-time favorites. The stories are fast-paced, gritty, sexy and downright riveting."—USA Today Happy Ever After
"Dark, dirty, and dead sexy."—Tiffany Reisz, bestselling author of The Original Sinners series, on The Marriage Contract
"A well-written, fast-paced book that was really easy to read. The constant action made it easy to keep turning the pages and the substance of the relationship made it a good romance."

—Ramblings from this Chick on The Marriage Contract
"An intense ride of passion, danger and a fight for true love."—Addicted to Romance
"[The O'Malleys series] is compelling, impossible to put down and addictive as hell, and this latest entry is one of the best so far."—The Star Angels Reviews

This was a solid read, but I felt like the story building was more rushed than in the earlier books in the series. There was a lot packed in!

Looking forward to reading seeing what’s to come for the two remaining siblings - Aiden and Keira in the final two books of the series!

Another exciting chapter in the O’Malley’s story

This book is Sloan and Jude's story, and I think it's my favorite. The writing is better, less rambling. I hesitated on continuing the series after book 3 but am very invested and the supporting characters and am eager to see how the main conflict will be resolved. That being said, Sloan and Jude's story was very satisfying. Sloan who always appeared meek and fragile gets strong, smart and able! Loved Jude too. I love the narrator, she does a good job with the male voices!!!
