Author: Sav. R. Miller
Genre: Adult Romance
Rating: 4 / 5 stars
Promises and Pomegranates is a contemporary dark romance with a loose retelling of the tragic love story of Hades and Persephone. It is a tale where the ‘anti-hero’ wins the heart of the pure maiden and together they rule and flourish in darkness.
Elena, the daughter to a notorious mafia boss leader lives a rather dull and secluded life together with her family. Even though she has grown up as a pampered princess and all her future has already been outlined by her parents, Elena is no damsel in distress. Being sick of having no control over her life, she decides to act upon her rebellious notions and gives her soul to her Hades a.k.a Dr. Kallum Anderson.
Kal is just her opposite. He is cunning, deceiving, possessive, obsessive and carries a large emotional baggage – from traumatic childhood experience to ruthless teenage years in the mafia world. He owns a heart of stone and swears to avenge those who have wronged him in the past. Until he meets the Persephone to his Hades. A match made in hell. An absolutely chaotic and twisted duo which works perfectly together despite all odds. Being forced into a marriage by a series of unfortunate events, Elena decides to make up the most of their ‘fake’ marriage and find out what makes the great Kallum Anderson so ruthless. Together they learn how to work through their relationship despite all hardships and failures and instead of shying away, they thrive in each other’s darkness.
Promises and Pomegranates is a new mafia romance with filled with blackmail, betrayal, passion and love. We see both characters help each other grow as individuals – Elena become a strong-minded and independent woman while Kal learns how to let go of the past and move to bigger and better things. In the end, Persephone shows her Hades that he is in fact worthy of unconditional love and that she is willing to go above and beyond to prove that to him.
