Summary:
Leo Byrne is a cop, Jason Banks is an ex-con. Even after one stolen kiss, something has to give before Leo can convince Jason that falling in love is even an option.

Adopted at a young age, Leo is part of the sprawling Byrnes family. With his dog Cap, three siblings and a whole mess of nieces and nephews, he is never lonely, and his life is full. Love is the last item on his to-do list, but seeing his best friends Sean and Eric happy and making new families makes him want things he doesn’t think is possible. Kissing Jason at an event to honor his bravery was one thing, but anything other than that is off limits. Until Jason has no one left to turn to, and it’s Leo who helps him at his lowest. Taking Jason and his daughter into his home is one thing, but falling for the ex-con is something else altogether.

Jason made a deal to keep his daughter safe and spent years behind bars as a result. Volunteering as a convict firefighter was as much about helping the community as saving his sanity, but now that he’s out, he doesn’t even have that. He’s lost his future, his self-respect, and has no friends or a place to call home. Worst of all, even after rescuing his daughter he still can’t keep her safe from the man who wants to use her as a bargaining chip for money. Meeting Leo might give Jason a way to keep Daisy safe, but falling for the stubborn cop means the truth has to be revealed, and he could lose everything all over again.

Original ebook Review December 2019:
First off, I've said it before and I'll say it again: men who care for children are some are the sexiest around and tick all my boxes.  We first met Leo back in Single and we were introduced to Jason in Today, well now it's Promise and we get to experience their journey.  Cop and ex-con, cliche it may sound but that doesn't mean it can't be magical when written well and RJ Scott definitely tells their story well.

I won't say too much about Leo, he's the kind of cop we all hope to meet if we are unfortunate enough to need a cop: he's kindhearted but not a pushover and though he's all about doing his job he's not so set in stone that he won't listen.  Yes, he's on injured leave during the story but we've seen this side of him throughout the series so even on leave we know this about him.

Jason, well what can one say about Jason?  Not everything is as it seems.  I know that sounds cryptic but there are certain elements of his story that I don't want to spoil, that you really do need to learn for yourself.  Watching him care for little Daisy(who BTW is the most adorable little girl) is wonderfully written and says so much about his character.  Yes, there are things that he's trying desperately to protect her from and when all is revealed you completely understand his behavior and choices.

I loved watching Leo and Sean balance their duty and their gut when it came to trusting Jason and doing what's best for him and Daisy.  This was another excellent example of why Leo is the cop I described above.  There is just so much heart in this story(in the Single Dads series as whole really) that at times it may seem cliche but just because something is cliche doesn't mean it isn't entertaining.  Promise is a gem of read that will make you smile, cry, laugh, and smile some more and I look forward to re-visiting for years to come.
