“You bring me peace, little witch, and you put a fire in my blood.”
Grayson and Kira start their love story with a marriage of convenience and no real personal knowledge of the other person. Kira is homeless and in need of money. She does have a trust fund but she can only access it after she turns 30 or if she is to marry someone first. After she eavesdrops on a conversation Grayson has at the bank where he is denied a loan, she decides to come to him with an idea. She proposes the idea of marriage, she’ll give him half of her trust in exchange for him to marry her for one year. Grayson is in a rough spot, recently out of prison and now trying to keep his late father’s dying winery afloat. When Kira proposes her idea of marriage, he decides that as crazy as the idea might be, it’s his best option if he wants to save the winery.
So they marry each other and the fun really begins. I loved the constant bickering with the two characters. Charlotte and Walter’s meddling with them, always made me smile. The scene when Charlotte tells Grayson she gave him her “simple herbal concoction” without asking just to “get the blood flowing”, I couldn’t control the tears of laughter. 🤣
This story had great depth and both characters, Grayson especially, go through their own insecurities with their feelings for one another. Mia Sheridan knows how to write a great book. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review of the book.

My review of

Grayson's vow by Mia Sheridan

⭐⭐⭐

This is my 3rd Mia Sheridan book, I didn't like the whole calling each other Dragon and Witch thing, I thought it was very annoying and childish. Aldo the book was fine, there were times I enjoyed reading it, I love Charlotte and Walter so much. it felt like it missed something, there was a very slow character development and I had a hard time caring about the main characters. A big part of that is calling each other Dragon/Witch & hurt each other on purpose. The ending felt very rushed too, I wish we had more time with Grayson being happy and explaining his feelings, that they would have more time as a happy couple.

I went into this book knowing what to expect from a Mia Sheridan novel, and it delivered. It was a sweet tale of romance, combined with expected events and over the top events. I could have done without the frequent "witch" "dragon" names, but I was happy for Kira and Grayson in the end. I think she message in this story was very sweet, and did enjoy the second chance aspect of it. Was it a page turning, literary masterpiece? No, but it was a quick, enjoyable story that had me rooting for them and crying happy tears by the end.

A fairytale come true.
This is a superbly written tale of two hearts becoming one despite the many reasons they've had to be apart.
Kira and Grayson will melt your heart in this totally addictive story.
Things haven't come easy for either one of them before they met nor would they be easy in the time after.
This painstakingly beautiful book will keep you flipping pages to find out what happens next with the Witch and her Dragon. 
A must read!

I quite could possibly read Mia’s shopping list, there’s just something about her writing and her navigation of a relationship. Kira and Grayson are no exception. I loved the initial interaction, the evolution, and development of their relationship and interaction. There’s just something about marriage of convenience that just does it for me. Add in dislike to love trope and you have the perfect combination. My only problem (if you even call it a problem) was the “dragon” and “little witch” names, however by the end and the story wrapt up with the names, had me sold. What was an initial ick turned into an awww. Grayson’s reactions towards Kira going from zero to one hundred in seconds in those intense parts, broke my heart. However, it all wrapped up perfectly and the evolution of characters and relationships was so intriguing to read.

I just don’t think Mia Sheridan’s writing style is for me. I thought More Than Words was a 3-3.5 star book, so I thought I’d give Grayson’s Vow a chance. But I couldn’t stand the writing style (immature), and I just didn’t like the characters. That paired with a storyline where childhood trauma is supposed to excuse abusive behavior led me to say, “no thank you,” and I will not be reading any more Mia Sheridan books.

Thank you NetGalley and Mia Sheridan for letting me read Grayson’s Vow.

Marriage of convenience. The characters Grayson and Kira both had something they had to overcome and do so together. It was a bit too long and some part predictable. The story has an fairytale-like mix to it. Overall I enjoyed this book.

This book was very cute and I definitely cried a few times. This is a marriage of convenience I'm which the mmc agrees to marry the fmc so she can access her money from her gram's will. They then agree to split the money once she has it and go on their separate ways.
I really enjoyed the dynamics of the characters and the found family aspect that we got to see. One thing I've noticed with Mia's books is that often times there can be large portions of inner monologue that can sometimes drone on.
SPOILER: additionally, I've noticed a lot of her books ends in a third act break up which I'm not a huge fan of, but this book was still a good read!

Grayson’s Vow
Mia Sheridan
4⭐️

My second read by Sheridan and I look forward to reading lots more!

There’s nothing on earth like the feel of someone who loves you grasping for your hand in the dark when you’re lost and afraid.”

If you’re looking for an emotional story built around characters with troubled pasts that touches your heart Grayson’s Vow is for you.

I loved the roller coaster of emotions, the steam, and for me there is always something so beautiful about stories set on a vineyard. Definitely would recommend.

It's been awhile since I have picked up a Mia Sheridan book for some reason but I was really happy my next read was Greyson's Vow. This book was breath-taking. Mia has such a way of getting you sucked into the story where you cannot put the book down. I was smiling, my heart hurt, and I felt upset while reading. You really feel all the emotions which makes this one of the best books. I would 100 percent recommend this book to everyone.

for me, this book was a hit and a miss. I thought the characters had well developed back stories, and I liked the vineyard setting in Napa. the marriage of convenience plot was aided by the forced proximity. that being said, I did not really feel the connection between Kira and Grayson. their love realizations came a bit out of the blue in my opinion. I am not a fan of third act breakups, and the fact that this one came because of withheld information was frustrating. just communicate! I also thought the nicknames (dragon, witch) were a little weird and not fitting for terms of endearment. the side character were lovable though. 3 stars.

DNF because I cannot deal with this man any longer. He’s way too rude for my liking, and I absolutely despise men in romance books who immediately label the fmc as a “spoiled rich brat” without even getting to know them.

Grayson’s Vow

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. There were some good parts of this book and it definitely highlights how great a found family can be. There are a million tropes: forced proximity, fake marriage, etc. This was a quick read, but it didn’t keep me super engaged. There were some graphic animal abuse descriptions that I couldn’t get past.

Uh, this might be the first Mia Sheridan book I disliked? It was very asshole MMC (and I mean that in the sense that he literally used every single chance he could to project his childhood trauma on the FMC) and very sweet but doormat FMC. And to be clear, I very much love the FMC. She's sunshine and everything good in the world and deserved far better than a guy who used every opportunity to shut her out and/or insult her.

Also please, there were two frickin third act breakups. The entire second 50% of the book was comprised of the breakups. The first 50% was so nice, I had such high hopes for this book 😭 the second half made me so annoyed.

The 3 stars I have given are solely for everyone in the character cast except for Grayson.

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

There was...a lot to digest in this book. First off, Grayson was swoon worthy about 5% of the book, the other 95% he was a jerk. A kinda hot jerk, but still a jerk. There were character arcs' towards the end, but they weren't all that helpful to my opinion of him-which is less than good. She was so sweet to him, offered her help-even though her reasoning and thoughts weren't exactly sound or sane. I know its fiction, but randomly marrying a guy off a little crush? No. Crazy doesn't even begin to cover this book, as it went all over the place, and the plot seemed to just pop up every now and then. But, to be honest, it was the characters that made me not love the book. Charlette was originally one of my favorite characters, but some of her actions towards Grayson just didn't sit right with me. And how naïve the FMC could be sometimes. I really love other books by this author, like Archers' Voice is one of my favorite books, but this was a let down for me.

Quotes:

"The little witch had a dimple. And what it was about that small feature that made my pulse quicken, I couldn’t have explained if my life depended upon it."

“You are desperate.” “So are you.” “True enough.”

“forget the prince and princess. I always imagined the most interesting story was between the witch and the dragon.”

"How ironic that the first woman I’d have to work for was my very own wife."

“You may be her father,” he said quietly, his voice deadly calm, “but you will never lay a hand on my wife again. Am I clear?”

“It’s okay,” I said. “I’m here. I’ve got you.” “Said the Dragon to the witch,” she said softly, a small twinkle in her still-teary eyes. “There’s my girl,” I said.

What do you take me for exactly?” I seethed, anger mixing with the hurt. Grayson leaned up higher. “I take you for my wife.”

"What in the actual hell had happened to me? I’d met Kira Dallaire, that’s what had happened to me."

"I’d leave Grayson as I had arrived to him: his little witch. No, I thought dejectedly, not his. Never his."

"My God, she’s enchanting. My God, she’s mine."

“You are so beautiful,” he said. “And you are so drunk.” “In vino veritas,”

I picked up this book because I was intrigued by the title and description. I found myself predicting the plot of the book. While I enjoyed it, I found it to be predictable yet enjoyable. If you are looking for a light romantic read, this book is for you.

This is the second book by Mia Sheridan that I have read and I’ll be reading more of her books. Grayson’s vow was an excellent read and I enjoyed the way that the book developed and the characters’ journey definitely helped make the book enjoyable.
