Title: Promises
Series: Bounty Hunters #1
Author: A.E. Via
Genre: M/M Romance
Published: October 17, 2015
Duke Morgan owns and operates one of the largest bail bond companies in Atlanta. Not only does he bond criminals out of jail, he and his notorious group of bounty hunters will also track them down and ensure they show up for court.
Roman ‘Quick’ Webb is Duke’s business partner and best friend. Both men are in their forties and have given up on the happily ever after with the ranch-style home, and white picket fence. They’d both tried it and failed miserably. But they have their friendship and they have the business.
When Quick’s son, Vaughan Webb returns – after seven years - from studying abroad with his law degree in hand, he’s back to claim what he’s always wanted…his fathers’ best friend… Duke Morgan. Vaughan has always claimed to be a classic gentleman with an old soul. He didn’t party and screw up in school like his buddies. He was focused and dedicated to becoming the man worthy of Duke’s love.
It’s a complex and messy situation as Duke and Quick figure out how to still be best friends when one of them is sleeping with his friend’s one and only son. But when Duke is hurt on the job, all the unimportant trivialities fall to the wayside and Vaughan and Quick put their heads together to save Duke.
Part I of the Promises story is about Duke and Vaughan. Part II will be about Quick and his realization that it’s not too late for any of them to find love.

This is the first book (part one!) in the Bounty Hunters
series.
Duke Morgan owns a bail bond company, hunting down skips for
the courts along with his bunch of bounty hunters. His best friend of many
years, Quick works alongside him. Quick’s son Vaughan has been away studying
for years but now he is back and ready to reveal his passion for his Dad’s best
friend, Duke!
I really wanted to love this book as I had seen all the
great reviews for it but it was a little over the top and the insta love especially
how it came about had me scratching my head thinking ‘Huh? Don’t get me wrong
as I did like the characters but the storyline left me detached from the
emotions being portrayed. A major situation takes place (which I won’t divulge
and spoil the story for the new reader) which I just could not fathom. After ‘knowing’
each other for a matter of weeks (or was it days) Vaughan steps in and does
that? Really? I also couldn’t understand how the officials would agree to that
as a matter of ethics? Anyhow that was the part that made the story
unbelievable for me.
So yes nice characters and I love age gap romance, but the believability
factor was ranked right out there for me which lessened my ability to dive in
and love the story. Overall this was a three star read for me.
“This is a must read, a must have and an amazing start to a new series! This author will always and forever have me as a fan and a supporter she is my go to and I will sing her book writing poweress to any and all who love the M/M fiction.” ~ ★ ★ ★★ ★ Amazon Reviewer
"When I saw this was part 1 my heart sank but it’s all good! This is Vaughan and Duke’s story and it will leave you more than satisfied whilst you wait for part 2 which will be Quick’s story and hopefully involve Cayson.” ~★ ★ ★★ ★ Prism Book Alliance
