Break Me Like a Promise by Tiffany Schmidt

I loved how a lot of things resolved.and how certain things remained open for Maggie, Penny, and Char to deal with. I definitely felt like the two main plots stayed strong throughout the entire book. It's a world of medical and technological jargon, but still altogether fun because how many of us are part of organized crime families? (Don't answer that.) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: I didn't realize how much I wanted to return to the Once Upon a Crime Family world until I started reading Break Me Like a Promise. Like it or not, Maggie must accept that if she wants to save Alex’s life and carve out a place in the new legalized organ business, she’s going to have to fight for both.Īn ARC was provided by Bloomsbury in exchange for review consideration. But procuring black market organs is becoming increasingly difficult, and as Alex’s health declines, she’s surprised to find herself falling for him. A task she resents and he enjoys making as challenging as possible. The Vickers aren’t willing to let Alex out of their sight, so he moves onto their estate and Maggie is assigned to be his keeper. That night Alex shows up at her Family estate with copies of confidential Family files and a shocking revelation-the kidney is for him. Maggie agrees, but has no intention of keeping her promise or ever seeing him again. When Alex, a tech whiz, uncovers the type of information on the machine, he offers Maggie a choice: her Family can give him a kidney, or he’ll irreparably scramble the data. Then Maggie messes up: she downloads a virus onto her father’s computer, and must sneak it off-estate for repair. She’s given an ultimatum: shape up or step aside. But new legislation is poised to destroy the Family’s operations in the black-market organ trade and Maggie’s recent behavior has wrecked the business-savvy reputation she’s worked her whole life to build.

All Magnolia Vickers has ever wanted was to follow father’s path as head of the Family Business.
