The Vows We Break is a book that explores the consequences of Kimera Davis's lies and schemes. She is in love with two men, Jahmad and Leo, but her actions put them and her family in danger. She is not a bad person, but she makes a lot of bad choices. She feels guilty, but she does not take responsibility.

The book is a fast and entertaining read, but it has some flaws in the plot. Cole writes well and creates realistic dialogue and twists. The book is a sequel to The Wives We Play in her Unconditional series. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This was an entertaining sequel to "The Wives We Play", Kimera was always up to something. And there is still plenty of secrets, lies and mayhem! I truly felt sorry for some of the other characters that have to come in contact with Kimera. The ending left some questions but overall I really enjoyed the book.

Oh my gosh Briana Cole brought the drama with this one! I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. If this book proves anything it's that you definitely have to keep your enemies close and not everyone can be trusted. I will say that Kimmie as a character was so irritating. She just didn't make any sense and kept making stupid decisions. Thank goodness all the drama kept me sucked in.

This was a DNF for me, at 40%.
I just didn`t like much of the book and then stopped at 40% because i could`nt go on anymore.

The Vows We Break is the second installment in the Unconditional series. We pick right up where The Wives We Play ended. Kimera is finally happy and moving on with her life , dealing with the scandal of Leo and his other wives. Once again Kimera runs into more bad luck and problems with a ex that wants her back and refuses to let her be happy.

I patiently waited in anticipation for this book to become available and I was not disappointed at all. The story grabbed me and did not let go, it still has me as I wait for the final book to be released. This story was filled with drama, scandal, lies and great plot twists. I suspected one of the twists and I was very surprised how it unfolded, I did not see that coming at all. The ending left me wanting more and upset. This is a great series and I look forward to the next one.

In the Sequel to The Wives we Play, Kimera is still messy. There are still secrets, lies and mayhem. Kimera still hasn't learn her lesson, and someone close to her unfortunately will pay the ultimate price for that. I truly felt sorry for some of the other characters that have to come in contact with her. The ending left with a lot of questions, the sad part is that the next book won't be released until Feburary of 2020, and I hate it when it happens like that.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Affectionately known as Kimmy, Kimera Davis thought her divorce from Leo Owusu sealed the vault holding a past she so wanted to forget. Riddled with faked deaths, lies, debauchery, and family scandals, each memory of what that vault contained seared through her very soul. But...the vault was never sealed.

Intersecting with the plot and ending of The Wives We Play (book 1), The Vows We Break explored the demise of Kimmy's 'love partner' relationship with Leo Owusu, while dangling the possible resurrection of another long-awaited love affair. Narrated by Kimmy, the narrative forced me to see the world through her eyes. Emotionally strangled by her own web of lies, she bares it all to the reader.

Darn near impossible to put down, the pages of The Vows We Break turned themselves. Fast-paced, yet smooth, engaging, and titillating, the plot was tightly woven. Each chapter, cleverly leading into the next, featured crisp prose, authentic dialogue, and dramatic twist. (Now, I saw it coming. But, I found sheer pleasure in watching it unfold.)

I cannot wait to read book 3 - The Hearts We Burn.

The Vows We Break is book two in Briana Cole’s Unconditional series. Ms. Cole is still approaching familial and romantic relationships from a fresh viewpoint and does not disappoint in this continuation of her urban romance series.

Kimera Davis is still up to her old tricks, lying and deceiving, in order to make a fast dollar. Her manipulations are putting a strain on all her relationships. Her games are proving to have serious, dangerous consequences.

Cole continues to test the bonds of love and family in this second novel of her Unconditional series. Once again presenting the dual sides of human nature and giving plenty of drama with unexpected plot twists. I give The Vows We Break 4 out of 5 stars. I almost dropped my rating to 3 stars because I don’t like the main character. She’s well-developed and her story is well-written. She’s just not likeable. It’s a sure sign of literary excellence when the characters can extract real emotions from the reader, good or bad. The ending leaves you wanting more and is a perfect lead-in to book three in the series, The Hearts We Burn, which I will definitely be reading.

My thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.

Briana Cole’s The Vows We Break drew me in from the very beginning. I did not realize that this was the second book in a series, but that did not stand in the way of me continuing this read. I am now in the process of reading the first book in the series, by the way. Let me tell you, this book will definitely keep you on your toes. And the ending? Well, it will catch you by surprise. Kimera Davis has made some questionable decisions in her life. In the end, though, all she wants is to be with the man that she loves. However, trust is a necessary element for a relationship, and it is causing some problems. Needless, to say, this lends itself to making life interesting between these two as they work to have a relationship. You know that there always has to be something, or someone to make things just a tad more difficult. In this case, it is both. Kimera just can’t seem to catch a break not to mention those around her continue to suffer consequences because of her choices. Pick this book up and dive in. I guarantee you won’t regret it. Thank you to NetGalley, Briana Cole, and Dafina Books for the opportunity to review this book.

This is my first read by Briana Cole. I didn't realize when I started The Vows We Break that it was a part of a series, so it can be read as a standalone. This was a different read for me. What a twisted tale. I was not prepared for that ending. All I can say is be prepared to go around the roller coaster ride several times.
Thank you #NetGalley for this read.

Kimmy is back with more drama. She has given birth to her son, but the question is who is the father? Why does things continue to happen to Kimmy? Why does Kimmy continue to be a manipulative, lying, and selfish girl (a woman would not behave the way she does). In the Vows We Break, Kimmy is back and up to some of her old tricks again. Unfortunately, there are a few new players in this crazy and dangerous game that Kimmy is playing. The second book in this series is unbelievable. Some of the events and things that take place in the book are unbelievable. It was an ok read. Maybe book three will be better. Book two left much to be desired.
