Promise and Pomegranate Review 

Promise and Pomegranate by Sav R. Miller was a book recommended to me by a book club. Now I went into this one excited. Did the excitement last? Hell, no. Elena was considered the Mafia princess while Doctor Kallum was the Death Doctor---according to Ariana. I don’t know, but I liked that sister. Maybe it had something to do with her spunk, but she seemed more mature and level-headed than the female lead. Anyway, upon being blackmailed, Kal aided or half-aided the Ricci family by forcing their first daughter to marry him. Not that the father disagreed. It was one spectacular wedding. I wouldn't want to be in that priest's shoes.

By Elena’s fourth point of view, I lost interest in her. I understood she had liked Kal since she was a child but come on. This guy took her virginity and left her without a word. When he came back and threatened her, ensuring she married him, then whisked her off to the end of the earth, she lost faith. It was like a walk in the park for her. All she cared about was him showing her affection. Like what the actual F? I was a virgin once and by God, I wasn't this stupid. I doubt most virgins are.

Moving right along. In certain sections, Kal did not seem all that bad. I got to see what caused him to tick, and that he had some level of humanity remaining underneath his so-called monstrous self. Sav did a great job with Kal. I didn’t hate him, but I didn’t love him either. He was okay.

The whole story was not to my liking. I didn’t see any romance going on nor did I overly enjoy the steam scenes. It could have been better. I couldn't help but laugh when I found out who the blackmailer was. It wasn't funny but it was. In a weird way. At least, to me. Otherwise, all I can say is I read this, and it was okay. Maybe someone who is not me would enjoy it. If you want to try it out, go ahead. You might just like it.
