New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan continues her sexy new contemporary stand-alone series with a broken heart and the shattered soul that can heal them both.
Macon Brady remembers every moment he lay on the ground, a bullet in his chest, his life bleeding out with each pulse. Yet his nightmares aren’t the only thing keeping him up at night.
Dakota Bristol left her ex with nothing but the clothes on her back and her child in her arms. She’s been hurt before and wants nothing to do with the shadows in Macon’s eyes. The problem? Her son loves him, and the more time she spends with the man, the more she’s afraid she’ll come to love him just as much.
Danger always comes back to haunt those who run. It was a lesson Dakota learned before. Now, it might be the man she refuses to fall for who makes the greatest sacrifice of all.

Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Far From Destined is the third book in the Promise Me series by Carrie Ann Ryan. The series is about four friends who made a pact to go on blind dates set up by the other three and the four Brady brothers who are destined for them. I still find it a little weird that the four friends will end up with a brother each. I am still waiting on Myra and Nate's happy ending. I know it's next, but I am getting impatient here. These two are very mysterious and I want to find out what happened between them especially after the ending of this book.
Macon and Dakota are probably going to be my favorite couple in this series. They didn't exactly start on the right foot, but they made up for it later. Macon almost died from a gunshot wound in Forever Only Once and he is not completely over it yet and I don't blame the guy. Dakota escaped from her abusive ex and she is hesitant to get close to someone who seems violent (which is something Macon did in the beginning of the book). She has her son to think about and that little kid is everything. For once, a kid acted like his age and didn't have an old soul that made him very mature and it earned some points for the book.
To be completely honest, I don't consider the books in the series a true stand-alone because to me it feels like each book is a part of a bigger story that's told a little bit in each book. While each book features another couple, there are a lot of things going on about the other couples, and tiny pieces of their stories are told in all the books. Macon, Dakota, and Joshua had some moments in the previous books that made everything in this book feel very natural.
Dakota and Macon are stubborn people and it took them some time to get over it and admit their feelings for each other. Once they did though it was glorious and I loved seeing them together. Joshua is not forgotten or an afterthought for Dakota and we see him often enough in my opinion.
Overall, I enjoyed the book very much. Dakota and Macon's relationship felt very natural and they were good characters which is all I could ask for. The suspense is also one of the good things about the book. It was just the right amount and it added to the story. I would recommend the book.
