Libro que empecé con ganas y esperando que estuviera a la altura de Archer. No fue así pero lo disfruté. Me ha gustado la historia entre Kira y Grayson, cómo empieza y cómo fluye. Que discurriera en unos viñedos es un punto extra. Lectura ligera que engancha y que deja buen sabor de boca.

My Review of Grayson’s Vow by Mia Sheridan
Let's Talk About the Girl...
Kira, who is currently homeless and out of options. Refusing to accept help from her father, she’s determined to find a way to make it on her own. Some challenges in life seem too hard to overcome. With little money, and even fewer options, the quick-witted and vibrant twenty-two-year-old needs to reinvent herself. Known for her generous heart and impulsive personality, she devises a survival plan, possibly her most outrageous idea yet.
Let's Talk About the Guy...
Grayson’s past was really heart-breaking. Everything he’d suffered through though had shaped him into a bitter, arrogant man who trusted no one. He’d been wounded so many times that his hurt and the walls he’d built around himself had almost become a part of who he was.
Betrayal has been too hard to overcome. With limited capital, and dwindling resources, he is attempting to resurrect his failing family vineyard, a self-imposed vow seemingly destined to fail.
Let's Talk about the Story...
This is when her path crosses with Grayson Hawthorn’s, a gorgeous, suit-wearing ex-con whose name she remembered because it was her father who had influenced the severity of his sentence. With a record like his, he was unable to get the loans necessary to help keep his family’s vineyard running. In this, she saw an opportunity, marry him. He gets part of her inheritance and she gets to stick to her father. Win win.
She saw him as a means to an end and was determined not to let her heart be involved. But he saw her as a spoiled rich princess who’d fallen far from her throne. Given the almost antagonistic sparks that flew between them from the start, theirs was planned as a marriage of convenience, and nothing more.
Along the way, these two have tons of misunderstanding and arguments. Each one is holding on to pretty awful misconceptions about the other. Gray is a broken hero and can see past his past to the beauty that could be with Kira.
I love broken heroes that battle back from disaster to find love. At times Gray is so ungrateful and awful that it’s hard to read. At times there isn’t a shred of affection for all that Kira is doing for him, his home and his future.
He does eventually see what he has done, but not before he runs Kira off.
“I had a wife to find and some groveling to do. I was going to grovel so hard they might need to find a new word for it.”

This book seemed a little bit too long. There were times when I really enjoyed it but Grayson was so terrible sometimes. I know he went through a lot but so did Kira and she didn’t deserve anything that happened to her in this book.
Still liked this but not my favorite from MS.

I am bummed! For some reason, I just could not connect well with the characters. I found that there were times where I was suspending disbelief. I did not love Grayson. I found him to be too brash. I felt that his redemption arc was unsatisfying. & There was nothing wrong with Kira but there was nothing good about her either. She was just an average character for me. While I did not love the story, Mia Sheridan still impressed me with her writing and made me feel deep emotions, even tho I did not connect with the characters.

I loved this book. It was a bit predictable at times, but it still kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down. I loved Grayson! I felt like the characters in this book were so relatable, and it made me love the story even more.
I don't think I will ever love a Mia Sheridan book as much as I love Archer's Voice, but this book definitely came close.

~4.3 full of thorns but pretty nevertheless stars~
Inwine Love there is truth.
MIA FREAKING SHERIDAN. She officially does nothing wrong. This novel is inspired by LIBRA.(I'm a libra baby) It has arranged marriage, kinda-enemies-to-lovers. New Adult sexy romance, full of PAIN, balanced by love. After all roses have thorns too.
You bring me peace, little witch, and you put a fire in my blood
Throughout the book Grayson is our scaly, cold, dragon; Kira is our fiery little witch. The banter, bets ,and games those two did play way absolutely hilarious.
I had to admit his looks had swayed me, too. He looked like every hero in every fairy tale I'd ever dreamed, come to life. And, God, I wanted to believe in heroes again.
But sometimes, I supposed, a girl just had to be her own hero.
Kira is our heroine with crazy little ideas ; her Grammy had left her a fortune she'd claim if she's married or in her 3 decade, so when spots Grayson Hawthorne, a person from her past, in a bank she knows it's fate and she …Proposes!
"And sometimes we'll meet halfway, but other times, I'll come to you. And I'll try my very best to put my pride aside so I know when I need to be the one to do that."
Grayson owns a half dead winery he tries to keep alive, but he's penniless. So when Kira offers him 350,000 $ if he marries her temporarily, what can he do than agree...THE SHIP SAILS.
True love is the greatest leap of faith there is.

My heart hurts like a mofo. Holy crap, y'all. This book was devastating on my emotions. I wanted to strangle our MMC, Grayson, SO. MANY. TIMES. I was ranting at my husband about how "men piss me off" in one breath and then giggling with the next. Up, down, up, down, my emotions went. At 60% I was like, Grayson has a LOT to grovel about but ohhhh no, that wasn't even the beginning of the end. I wanted to maim him. His pain was my pain and I was pissed.
And then the revelations. The self-sacrifice and self-discovery. If it wasn't for the DETAILS in those final scenes, it wouldn't have worked out for me but y'all. Y'ALL. The best make-up of all time.
And it's all thanks to Kira. Big heart. Compassionate. Honest. Perky despite all the downfalls in her life. Her strength came from within and I loved that girl. If it wasn't for her, Grayson would be dead to me (dramatic much?

dnfed at 80% bc the couple got gross
also there were some parts I enjoyed but overall this wasn’t very good and I just don’t like the way the author depicted Africa bc it fed into some uncomfortable stereotypes..
Grayson was weird and kept trying to coerce Kira into bed and I also hated the way he talked about Virgil??? it felt dehumanizing and I don’t appreciate the way the author described him either..
Kira was okay until she got annoying LAWL.. The only characters I really liked were Charlotte and Walter but mostly Walter bc he never said anything and half of what came out of Charlotte’s mouth was tacky and sexist but at least she gave Grayson natural viagra to get the ball rolling
