mia sheridan writes such complex and emotional romances, so i was excited (and scared) for grayson and clara’s story. precious clara with her tragic history and grayson with his vow to never love again made for an unsuspecting but perfectly matched pair. they worked through their trauma and opened up to each other, experiencing pain and sadness and love and joy. this has all the elements of real life — that which is so difficult but also that which is worth fighting for. another stunning story from sheridan!

Grayson's Vow by Mia Sheridan is a marriage of convenience romance. I love Mia Sheridan; she continuously slays every book she writes! The dual POV in this book was *chef's kiss*! I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't put the book down!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A solid marriage of convenience romance!

I just have to clarify that I am a fan of anything that Mia Sheridan writes. I don't even really prefer reading the marriage of convenience trope most of the time, but I think I liked it more and had a good time because Mia wrote it. It even made me want to pick up more in the future!

This book had me feeling all the emotions, as Mia always has me doing. This book does start off a little slow, and I had trouble warming up to Grayson's character at first, but the second half truly made the book for me. I absolutely loved Kira from the start, and I felt deeply for both of these characters by the end. They, of course, start off having their misgivings about each other, but I loved how these two slowly learned more about one another to eventually form a beautiful relationship that they both deserved — especially after everything they've been through in their pasts.

All in all, I absolutely adore Kira & Grayson! They deserved their happily ever after, and I loved getting to witness it for myself. As always, Mia Sheridan has delivered another romance for me to enjoy and feel all the feels about! She is one of my auto-buy authors, and I do not see this ever changing.

Thank you so much to Bloom Books & NetGalley for an ARC of this book!

This was a DNF for me. I could not get into it. I really really tried. Will definitely try another title by this author.

First of all”Dragon and Little Witch” *SWOON*

A marriage of convenience turned into something more. A means to an end. Kira is so kind and so selfless but still stands on business. Grayson is broken and does not trust easy. I love this light hearted story

I was not the biggest fan of this one. I did DNF at around 20% because I just could not get into the plot or the characters.

Not a fan of this book, unfortunately. Grayson was the biggest walking red flag I have ever seen. The whole dragon/witch nickname thing was super cringy too.

This book is a charming tale of unexpected love. The setting is vibrant and enchanting, making it easy to get lost in the story. The protagonists start off as unlikely pairings, but their journey together is filled with sweet moments and growth. It’s a lovely reminder that love can blossom in the most surprising situations!

This book is full of drama and miscommunication. It’s a very messy book but I did enjoy it. It’s a slow burn marriage for convenience story so if you’re not into those tropes then it’s not the book for you.

It has Sheridan’s signature voice. I was looking forward to reading this book. Also very pretty cover!

A mutually beneficial marriage of convenience between two wildly ostracized people. Kira and Grayson’s plan is for this business arrangement to benefit them both, while keeping things strictly professional.

I enjoyed Sheridan’s writing and the pacing for the most part. I do feel like Grayson missed the mark as so many ‘grumpy men’ do, so he crossed into a-hole territory for most of the book. There was good character development, but I feel Grayson could have used a bit more. This is my second book from Sheridan and obviously was a very different dynamic than AC, so I’m willing to give more of her writing a chance.

Kira is desperate, almost homeless, and needs to marry in order to gain access to the inheritance from her grandmother. Grayson also finds himself in a desperate situation when he finds out that he's about to lose his winery and, because of his past and prison record, cannot qualify for a loan from the bank. When Kira hears this, she devises a plan and suggests to Grayson that they marry in order to help each other out.

Grayson is sexy, handsome, yet aloof and emotionally closed off. He has been hurt by those he trusted and loved. Kira is also emotionally damaged, but yet she still remains warm and engaging and filled with hope. She is young and impulsive but truly believes marrying Grayson is her only hope. Grayson is the very definition of grumpy, almost to the point sometimes where it makes you uncomfortable. Kira and Grayson initially severely dislike each other, which makes for some great chemistry.

The supporting characters really made this story, in my opinion, and I absolutely loved the vineyard setting! Will always read a book that is set at a vineyard or near the water. Overall, this was another solid book from Mia and would definitely recommend if you're looking for an angsty, grumpy/sunshine romance.

I liked this book. Overall it worked for me. Ex-con down on his luck trying to revive the family vineyard. Rich girl running away from her abusive father. The "working together to bring daddy down" plot fell kinda flat for me... but the HEA hit the mark.

Thank you for this arc.
This one was unfortunately not my favorite from Mia Sheridan. It fell flat for me in many areas. It was funny and emotional but I just didn't feel the connections I wanted to feel.

The depth of emotions just WOWt! The verbal picture it painted, it was everything, it just keep me on the edge throughout, it was such a beautiful story.


This is a standalone novel and does not relate to any other books in the same series. Told in dual POV.

Thanks NetGalley for this amazing ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the ARC of Grayson's Vow.

This one was 2.5 stars for me. I still don't understand why Kira couldn't just get a job instead of the entire premise of the book. Grayson is just a jerk who occasionally does nice things. Kira, despite the book constantly telling us otherwise, is a rich kid who expects the world to go along with her. Real people don't constantly get away with Very Bad Ideas. Both of them are surrounded by people who are too one-dimensionally evil.

All the 2.5 stars go to the British help. Charlotte's kitchen was the only redeeming quality of the book.

This was my second Mia Sheridan book and will probably be my last.

A story of misfits and underdogs that was absolutely adorable. I love her books and how they make me feel. You feel for these characters and they really tug at your heartstrings.

I’m sad I didn’t LOVE this one. It was an enjoyable read and I felt a lot especially close to the end but I just didn’t really connect much with the characters. The potential is immense and I always love a book with found family but I feel like it was convoluted and ended quite surface level.

Grayson very much read like a real person (maybe he too real). He had flaws and made you wanna knock his head to check if it was hollow. But unfortunately this just made Kira seem too unrealistic in the opposite sense.

It’s a fun romance, marriage of convenience, found family book but not the masterpiece I was expecting.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Contrary to I feel like every other booktok creator I was not a huge fan of archers voice. In fact I DNFed it. And so I went into reading this with less than high expectations and was pleasantly surprised! I do prefer some good solid banter in my books, and this one was very much a serious romantic connection but that’s personal preference more than how the book with written and the author was a beautiful writer.
