The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

"Promise Me, Dad is a brisk, often uplifting read, a consequence of its author's congenital jollity and irrepressible candor."
- Vanity Fair

A deeply moving memoir about the year that would forever change both a family and a country.

In November 2014, thirteen members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past forty years; it was the one constant in what had become a hectic, scrutinized, and overscheduled life. The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold. But this year felt different from all those that had come before. Joe and Jill Biden's eldest son, Beau, had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor fifteen months earlier, and his survival was uncertain. "Promise me, Dad," Beau had told his father. "Give me your word that no matter what happens, you're going to be all right." Joe Biden gave him his word.

Promise Me, Dad chronicles the year that followed, which would be the most momentous and challenging in Joe Biden's extraordinary life and career. Vice President Biden traveled more than a hundred thousand miles that year, across the world, dealing with crises in Ukraine, Central America, and Iraq. When a call came from New York, or Capitol Hill, or Kyiv, or Baghdad--"Joe, I need your help"--he responded. For twelve months, while Beau fought for and then lost his life, the vice president balanced the twin imperatives of living up to his responsibilities to his country and his responsibilities to his family. And never far away was the insistent and urgent question of whether he should seek the presidency in 2016.

The year brought real triumph and accomplishment, and wrenching pain. But even in the worst times, Biden was able to lean on the strength of his long, deep bonds with his family, on his faith, and on his deepening friendship with the man in the Oval Office, Barack Obama.

Writing with poignancy and immediacy, Joe Biden allows readers to feel the urgency of each moment, to experience the days when he felt unable to move forward as well as the days when he felt like he could not afford to stop.

This is a book written not just by the vice president, but by a father, grandfather, friend, and husband. Promise Me, Dad is a story of how family and friendships sustain us and how hope, purpose, and action can guide us through the pain of personal loss into the light of a new future.

Oh My Anna Has Done It AGAIN
Format: Kindle
I have been a hard core Anna Stone fan from the first book I read by her...Behind Closed Doors....then I picked up Being Hers the first of the Irresistible Bound series! I fell in love with Vanessa and Mel so deeply I couldn't stop falling deeper in the world that Anna created with her Liliths Den ladies! I devoured her next Mistresses Series even more so then the first. When she told me she was moving to LA with a new set of Ladies I was excited to see what she was going to do and I have to say Club Velvet is even more alluring then Liliths Den and this new set of Ladies I love them all already!!! Simone is even more alluring then Camilla was for me and I fell hard for Camilla! I love that she was straight to protective with Jade from the start but not overly so. Simone is sweet and demanding and just perfection rolled into the perfect package and just what Jade needed! Both were afraid of falling and giving up that trust and vulnerability of falling in love because of past wrongs and being shown how devastating it can be when its given to the wrong person. The way they handled it just broke my heart for the slight misunderstanding that could have been avoided by trusting each other. But once again Anna has brought fourth just the right conflict for our ladies to get through while also building their characters to a level of complete understanding that only she can do. I love Jade and Simone and can't wait for hopefully Valerie with her Nanny next **fingers crossed** and hopefully even a wonderfully meet up with Vanessa and Mel! Both Olivia and Elle also excite me to learn more of them!

Writing was decent, characters were decent, the plot was decent, and the spice was excellent
Format: Kindle
TL;DR: 3 stars, writing was decent, characters were decent, the plot was decent, and the spice was excellent. This is the second book I have read by Stone. I thought it was pretty mediocre with everything except the spice. The writing was okay, it wasn’t terribly descriptive or informative. I really hate how Stone constantly has the characters ask questions in their heads after a conversation. I don’t think that is a very good writing mechanism, and she does it frequently. The characters were fine. I don’t think they developed all that well. Jade seemed to work through her issues with her predatory professor, but it still seemed like she was a bit harsh afterward. Simone seemed to be pretty much the same all the way through. She was just less restrained at the end. The plot was fine, it wasn’t anything to call home about. It just seemed like a poorly developed mechanism to get the MCs together. The third act breakup was terrible. If you think someone is the love of your life, and they do something wrong that upsets you, then you don’t just run away. You work on it with them if they are willing. Simone was extremely apologetic and wanted to work through it was Jade, but Jade walked away. I honestly think that Jade was the one that should have tried to mend it because she was the one who walked away after Simone tried to work it out. The spice was very good in my opinion. I love a book with positive BDSM material. This book did not disappoint in that regard. The aftercare was also phenomenal. Overall, I would recommend this book if you want spice with a low plot line and character development.

Not a bad story
Format: Kindle
I liked it. It was of course a lesbian romance, which I have no issues with. I thought for the most part the story was well written. One problem I did have was I can't understand why Jade can tell Simone about her past with Phillippa, but has a problem telling Simone she's going to meet her to basically tell Phillippa off. That to me doesn't make much sense. I mean she could have told Simone she was meeting her and that it was something she had to do by herself so she could move on. I just had a problem with it.

simply amazing
Format: Kindle
The intimacy, the sapphic love, the connections across all of Anna Stones books is the perfect cocktail for an amazing read. Full of ups and downs and highlighting the raw beautiful power of women and bdsm in a positive manner that’s holds nothing but respect for all consenting parties. Again amazing.
