Dnf @ 20%, listening on audio and the female narrator was unlistenable, one regular speed too slow and monotone and sped up it sounded like a robot.
That combined with the naivety of the fmc made me stop reading.

The Vow was a tough love, second chance romance filled with lots of love/hate sexual tension. I really loved Elsie. She was my favorite kind of character, determined, heart of gold, sassy, a lead who really finds herself and progressively gets stronger as the book goes on. Brett is a grade A a**hole, but I came to love him. He is hiding a big secret, one that will blow your mind. Brett is so much more than the golden boy he is made out to be! I loved that seven years has done nothing to hide the torch these two still carry for each other. The Vow is very much a forbidden romance, both characters have to hide their budding affair from Elsie's best friend/Brett's little sister. I also loved their group of friends, Elsie's were very relatable and made you want to be a part of their enter circle. I found the American Star and Tv Show production parts to be very entertaining, it was like I was watching the America's got talent or a reality show. Felt very intrusive, manipulative, and real. I was a little confused as why the book was titled The Vow, the author really prolonged revealing "The Vow" that Elsie made all those years ago. I did feel a little like the ending was anticlimactic after everything the couple went through I just wanted more. I really enjoyed the story, this is definitely the best book to curl up on the couch with. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Vow is Natalie Wrye's newest gem. I’m a newish fan of Natalie's but I'm a forever fan now! I'm a sucker for a good second chance romance and The Vow is perfection. Best friend's brother. Teenage lust. Grown up love. It's sticky and forbidden, but oh so good! Brett and Elsie had a few amazing nights together a long time ago. Now they are all grown up and in the same city. Elsie isn't the innocent girl anymore and Brett definitely isn't the teenage boy he was. He's sexy, tatted and doing very well for himself. When Elsie finds herself alone and with nowhere to go she only has one choice. Call Brett. She doesn't want to see him. Doesn’t want those old feelings to come back. He walked away and broke her heart. Brett can't believe how gorgeous she is. He never forgot her and seeing her again is a kick in the heart. If he touches her again he's going to fight for her and never let her go. Can they take the chance that they were denied in the past? Will they finally give in to their desire and take the chance together? I loved this story! I love how Natalie weaves in sexiness, angst, suspense, humor, friendship and family. I already need more Brett and Elsie.

Such a cute forbidden romance book with spicy smut. Brett is the sexy, tattooed older brother of Elsie's best friend. They hooked up 7 years ago and never really got over it. When she moves to Manhattan the forbidden affair continues in the spiciest of ways!

eu não gosto muito de dar nota baixa pra indie, normalmente, mesmo se não curto, eu dou três estrelas. mas esse testou minha paciência de todas as formas. eu estava muito orgulhosa de mim mesma por não ter largado antes de terminar, e aí me aparece um tal de EXTENDED EPILOGUE?????? tá de brincadeira, viu

I've never hated a book the way I hate this one. Holy fuck all the characters are soooo predictebel, annoying and bland. I don't even know how I managed to get though this book.

I came to page 114/577 on iBooks and I just couldn't be bothered to read anymore. It was actually quite boring and the beginning never caught my attention. Good thing it was free.

Elsie has just relocated to Manhattan and due to everything going wrong, needs a place to stay for the night. There is only one person that she knows that will give her a place to stay, her best friend's older brother, Brett. The same guy that took her virginity seven years ago.
This story was filled with secrets, angst, and two people trying to determine what is best for them without getting sucked back into the turmoil that caused their rift to begin with. And then there is Heath, Brett's best friend. He gives this book the humor that it needed and you can sense a little chemistry between him and one of Elsie's new friends.
This was a great start to a series that I plan to continue reading.
