Far from Destined

Promise Me, Book 3

By: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Jason Clarke

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan continues her sexy new contemporary stand-alone series with a broken heart and the shattered soul that can heal them both.

Macon Brady remembers every moment he lay on the ground, a bullet in his chest, his life bleeding out with each pulse. Yet his nightmares aren’t the only thing keeping him up at night.

Dakota Bristol left her ex with nothing but the clothes on her back and her child in her arms. She’s been hurt before and wants nothing to do with the shadows in Macon’s eyes. The problem? Her son loves him, and the more time she spends with the man, the more she’s afraid she’ll come to love him just as much.

Danger always comes back to haunt those who run. It was a lesson Dakota learned before. Now, it might be the man she refuses to fall for who makes the greatest sacrifice of all.

A great romantic suspense!

This one is my favorite of the series, I loved Dakota and Macon. Dakota is a single mom to Joshua, who ran away from an abusive ex and Macon has been messed up from what happened in book one of the series. They both start off wanting to have nothing to do with each other but Joshua takes a liking to Macon. I love how the group comes together to offer Dakota when her past comes back for her and how Macon will do anything to protect Dakota and Joshua. Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder were great at bringing to life these characters. This is another page turning suspense from Carrie and I enjoyed ever moment.

Amazing read

Omg what can I say this story tore me apart and spit me back together. Dakota and Macon Holy smokes talk about i didn't want it to end. The way this story unfolded it was really really well done. Carrie Ann Ryan just wrecked me hard-core with this one. I love it so much.
Narrators: Both Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder made this story sound absolutely amazing to listen too. I love both their voices. They absolutely killed it with narration and I recommend to either pick up the book or audio and give it a listen or read because it's one of my favorites of 2020.

Road to healing for Macon & Dakota

Macon silently suffers from PTSD after having been shot. Though surrounded by friends and family he struggles to discuss the nightmare that still haunts him, his only real outlet has been taking to fighting in the ring. Dakota is a single mother hiding from the mistake of her past, an ex who wants nothing more than to upend Dakota's life. Macon and Dakota have struggled to be cordial with one another but only because each is so stuck in their own thoughts. They struggle to communicate and usually end up with misunderstanding and hurt feelings. Dakota agrees to one blind date, as per the Pact Sisters, and much to her dismay, Macon shows up as her date. This is the beginning of what both agree is needed for them to become friends, neither willing to admit they want more. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, esp. as Macon and Dakota grew closer, and when things began to fall apart for Dakota, seeing his family and their friends pull together to support not only her but them was heartwarming. Jason Clarke and Dakota did a great job with the narration. I absolutely loved Emma's kid's voice.

great listen... but

it was a great stro g family, friendship ties, but I wish the male characters would have each had different narrative voices make it more individual and I also feel but really dont know how to explain it tthat the relationships in each book moved fast with not alot of background or introduction kinds.

Amazing series!

Stories well written and narrators are amazing. Must read the whole series. You can’t stop at just one.
