5 CHERRIES:
"If you’re looking for a heartfelt, suspenseful, sensual story that entails
love, loss, fate, trust, and most of all, forgiveness, then A Promise Given
is definitely the book to read. Oh, did I forget to mention the scorching hot
sex? Yeah, that’s definitely in there and I would definitely recommend A
Promise Given to my friends." -- Jasmine,

5 CUPS:
"I discovered Stormy
Glenn’s books by accident one night when surfing the internet. As an avid
reader of m/m romance, her books looked intriguing so I purchased one and
was forever hooked! I am now reading everything this author has written,
and can say without a shadow of a doubt she is one of the best authors I
have read. A Promise Kept is rife with emotion, true love, and danger;
this story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved the main
characters. The story itself reflects modern times and how difficult it
can be for those who are gay to find true love. I highly recommend A
Promise Kept and all of Stormy Glenn’s books!" -- Regina,

5 KISSES:
"One of the great things I love about a
Stormy Glenn
novel is the depth of emotion and the way she makes me feel the
emotional depth of her characters. I really was cheering for Mason, I
wanted him to find his love, and I wanted Jack to see a promise, no
matter how well-meant, is not worth what he was doing to himself and to
Mason.
A
Promise Kept is a story I
will not forget anytime soon. I think any true romantic should pick up
this novel. It is a truly memorable read." -- Tina,
Twolips Reviews
5 STARS: "Stormy Glenn
is one of those authors who are able to put out one good book after
another. Her characters, whether they are the alpha male type or not,
are able to show their softer side as well as their strong side. The
love they have for each other is clear for the reader to see, making the
stories just that much more compelling. A Promise Kept is no exception.
The love that Jack and Mason have for each other is so strong it is
amazing that they were able to hide it so well. The story is also loaded
with several strong secondary characters just screaming out for their
own stories. A must read for any m/m lover." -- Lydia,

4.5 STARS:
"Emotional and suspenseful, Stormy Glenn pens a memorable, passionate
tale with A Promise Kept." -- Elise Lyn,
Sensual Reads
4.5 STARS: “Stormy
Glenn does it again! I enjoy her books very much. They’re entertaining,
and they always make me glad that I’ve read them. With “A Promise Kept”,
she has written a book that is exciting, angsty (but not TOO much), sexy,
and passionate. I’m so impressed with it that it’s going to go into my
re-read file on the Kindle… All in all, “A Promise Kept” was thrilling to
read. It had everything that I needed to sink my teeth into. I wanted to
read it in one sitting because it was so good, but I did have to put it
down at 3:00 am because I couldn’t hold my eyes open anymore. If you like
some really great characters, tense situations, and mind blowing sex, you
should read this one. It may actually be the best book that Stormy Glenn
has written…and I’ve read a LOT of her work. Run, don’t walk, and get this
one for yourself.” – Shannon,

4 ANGELS:
"This was an interesting story, a bit choppy in places, but the plot and
action made up for the areas where the story seemed a bit abrupt. The
characters were well constructed and the sensual scenes were well written. The
serial killer was certainly creepy and I got a chill every time he made an
appearance. I liked both Mason and Jack, even though I wanted to yell at them
for their obliviousness and stubbornness at times. I liked the secondary
characters and hope to be able to delve a bit deeper into their lives in
future books by Stormy Glenn." -- Hayley,
Fallen Angels Reviews
4 ANGELS:
"I loved the way
this story played out. Mason was one of the best characters Stormy Glenn
has ever written. I really loved the complexity in which Mason and Jack's
relationship developed. Even I had doubts that things would work out for the
best with all the drama that these two went through in order to be together.
And then there was a "villain" added to the plot! A Promise Kept was filled
with richly drawn characters that were so funny and loveable." -- Nickie,
Fallen Angel Reviews
4 HEARTS: "I
enjoyed A Promise Kept. The story was well written and had a lot of action
that really will keep a reader interested. The feelings between Jack and Mason
made me want to cheer for them and also smack Jack a few times. The loves
scenes were just hot and steamy enough to really kick the story up a notch. I
enjoyed the mystery as it unfolded. I will recommend this book to friends for
a good read." -- Sandra,
Night Owl Romance
4 CHERRIES:
"Taken altogether, this is a satisfying story with a rousing, exciting
conclusion. The reader can’t help but root for these two and their various,
quirky friends. Ms. Glenn manages to pack so much emotion into her scenes that
the reader is compelled to read on. One doesn’t have to be an avid reader of
male/male romance to enjoy this book – a good story is a good story." --

"Mason Philips has been in
love with his brother’s best friend, Jack Spencer, for ten years. Mason is
reluctantly giving up on Jack. Pining after his brother’s straight friend is
only giving him heartache. When Mason branches out on his own, he catches Carl
Wallace’s eye. With the help of his new friends, Mason finally gets what he
wants, but Wallace isn’t giving up Mason so easily. Misunderstandings,
regrets, and harsh words spoken in anger create a soap opera-like story full
of angst. Some of the sex scenes are pretty hot, especially the ménage, and
the stalker is pretty creepy, which is cool. Overall, A Promise
Kept has too much character-driven drama." -- Nannette,
Joyfully Reviewed
"In A Promise Kept, author Stormy Glenn
creates a romance filled with heartache, tension, suspense, and ultimately,
happiness. Mason is a character who the reader can’t help but feel sympathy
for and to cheer on to have all that he wants, which at times, it’s difficult
to figure out why the one thing he wants above all others is Jack, who has
moments of being simply mean to him. Jack’s actions are enough to alienate him
to the reader, though, once he and Mason begin their relationship, and
certainly in the final chapters, Jack does manage to redeem himself. Along
with his best friend, Cooper, Mason has a group of close friends that add not
only depth to the story, but also amusement as one of them is certain to say
at least one entertaining thing almost every time they make an appearance. The
first half of the novel is primarily Mason’s angst over Jack. The latter half
deals with Mason’s stalker, and this is where the novel really takes off.
Author Glenn does an excellent job in creating a creepy figure in the stalker,
Wallace. So while it may start off a little slow, A Promise Kept really pays
off in the end." -- Shannon Frost,
TCM Reviews
"This was a fun book to
read. Although Mason did tend to cry a bit more than I really like I still
enjoyed him and the rest of the characters. Jack is a bit of a dominating
Alpha but Mason quickly has him wrapped around his little finger once they get
together. The sex is hot and plentiful after the first half of the book but
also very loving. Throw in a crazy stalker and you've got a fun, romantic,
sexy and exciting story." -- Lily,

"As with any anthology, there is a mix in the quality of the
stories in Forbidden Love. Having said that, I have a love of
historically set m/m stories, so this anthology appealed to me: The writing
was good, the settings unusual, and even for such short stories, the
characters were fleshed out. I'm giving Forbidden Love a grade of
'Very Good' and I recommend it for someone looking for an m/m historical story
set somewhere other than the Regency period or Victorian Britain." Jenre,
