DESCRIPTION
A marriage-of-convenience spicy standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice.
Some vows are meant to be broken, but others are worth risking everything for…even your heart.
Kira Dallaire is desperate. She must get married, and fast, to access the inheritance her late grandmother left her. Otherwise, she'll find herself at the mercy of her wealthy, abusive father. With little money and even fewer options, she uses her quick wit and impulsive heart to come up with a plan.
Grayson Hawthorn is losing hope. A convicted felon with limited capital and dwindling resources, his vow to resurrect his family's struggling vineyard seems destined to fail. That is, until a young woman enters his office with an outlandish proposal—a win-win business marriage he can't refuse.
But what begins as a temporary arrangement soon threatens to become more, as vibrant, spirited Kira challenges detached, arrogant Grayson to want more from life. To want more for himself. As their wills clash and fiery passion ignites, the two realize that sometimes the past creates walls too difficult to climb, and lies and deception rarely precede a happily ever after.

Initially reviewed on 29 May 2023
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
Thank you to NetGalley, SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books, and Mia Sheridan for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
I typically enjoy marriage-of-convenience stories, and Grayson’s Vow was an overall good read. However, this book started at a slower pace and did not immediately garner my attention like Mia’s other works.
In this story, Kira is impulsive and reckless in her decision-making, often taking grand leaps and adhering to those choices no matter what the outcome. Grayson is hardened due to drastic past experiences, yet he is on a path of redemption to honor his late father. When they agree to marry temporarily to fulfill the terms of Kira’s inheritance, Grayson and Kira must learn to get along. There is much frustration from Grayson questioning his participation in Kira’s plan. I also felt frustrated numerous times throughout the book because most of the issues could have been solved through simple communication. Also, Kira allows herself to be treated poorly in order to achieve the end goal, while Grayson’s behavior is highly questionable at times. Although this book is not my favorite by Mia, it was entertaining, and I will certainly continue reading all her works.
