This book offered a sweet mariage of convenience romance set in a gorgeous vineyard with adorable characters. It touches on some important issues while still remaining fun and light-hearted. And the grovelling was to die for!

Unfortunately, I did not resonate with the writing style and it felt like it dragged on a bit. The characters seemed underdeveloped — I just overall did not love the book as much as I did another by this author.

Mia Sheridan just writes the most beautiful books and Grayson’s Vow is not different. This is just a wonderful story from beginning to end.

Mia Sheridan has written a marriage of convenience spicy standalone. Kira 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 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.

This book was sweet, sassy and I could not put it down!

A beautifully written love story! A marriage of convenience turns into so much more, Grayson and Kira were such great characters, their stories had me really feeling for them.

Grayson's Vow is a read that caught me by surprise! I went into the story thinking one thing and left the last pages feeling a completely different way. This seemed like a typical marriage of convenience trope (which I love) but was so much more than that! Both Grayson and Kira had messy and tramatic pasts that brought a lot of baggage into their current situations. Each main character had something to gain (and more to lose) from the arrangement they'd come to agree on. I really enjoyed the slow burn love story between Kira and Grayson. The tension and chemistry was there but the walls had to be chipped away at day by day. This really helped to build a strong foundation of understanding, compassion, trust and love. While I thought the plot twist near the end was a bit dramatic and unnecessary, I liked how the author didn't spend a lot of time dwelling in miscommunication and allowed the characters to right their wrongs sooner rather than later.

I don't think I could have loved the side characters in this story more. From the care takers of Grayson's winery, to the staff, to Kira's BFF and even Grayson's brother. Everyone brought so much to the story that was necessary to it's complexity.

A huge thank you to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books, for giving me the chance Grayson's Vow by Mia Sheridan in exchange for my honest review.

My second time ever reading Mia Shreidan was even better than the first.
Grayson's Vow had all my favorite tropes : marriage of convienience, second chance (not the kind you think but close), a broody MC and a sweetheart of a FMC

I really fell in love with Kira and Grayson's dynamic, the push and pull, the denial of feelings and the inevitable surrender, I even loved the *classic* break up that marks the crescendo of the story right before the happy end.
I can now safely say that MiaSheridan has now become one of my favourite authors and is now on my instant read&buy&buy&read list.
The thing I loved most about this book is "meet me in the middle" ,which tells you all you need to know about Kira and Grayson.

If you’re looking for a cheesy quick romance read I definitely recommend! It’s a book full of fun tropes and characters, making it very enjoyable. The epilogue tied the story together perfectly!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC. Mia Sheridan is becoming one of my new favorite writers. There's always a little romance mixed in with mystery and it's the perfect combo. Read this one!! It's worth it!

I absolutely LOVED this book. I have been in love with this Author since reading Archer's Voice so was pretty excited to be chosen to review this one. I knew I was in for an emotional roller coaster from the beginning when Kira first saw Grayson at the bank. My heart started beating fast and I kept bracing myself for the tears (that did eventually come). I loved and hated Grayson at the same time and the more I learned about his past the more my love grew. I am a huge Kira fan and so glad that she didn't write Grayson off when he wasn't the nicest to her. Mia, you have a way of ripping my heart out and then putting it back together at the end of your books. This is a HEA by the way.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an ARC of "Grayson's Vow" by Mia Sheridan in exchange for my honest review! Our two main characters are Mia and Greyson; Mia must get married to claim an inheritance and Greyson is freshly out of jail, and doesn't have a dollar to his name. The arrangement starts off with them both claiming to never fall for each other... which of course changes as they get to know each other.
This book had some great spice in it but there were also a lot of slower moments. I thought the author did a good job making you care about Greyson and I was really rooting for him the whole time. 

This was a quick and fun read. Highly recommend!

Kira and Grayson’s story is the perfect marriage of convenience story! Kira proposes a business deal to Grayson, a man done wrong by her father, that will allow both Grayson and Kira to gain freedom. The two both need the money from Kira’s inheritance. What they didn’t expect was for the Dragon and Witch to need each other for completely different reasons. Kira brings out the best in Grayson with her antics around the vineyard all while showing him who his true family has always been. And Grayson shows Kira what it’s like to be truly loved and respected by a man. A beautifully written story of two people discovering themselves while also helping each other heal.

This book was okay but overall a decent story. I probably wouldn’t pick it up again. I enjoyed the first book in the series though.

I wanted to like this book so much but it just didn’t work for me and I cannot really explain why. I like Mia Sheridan’s writing and I usually fall so hard for her characters, but this time I just didn’t. Kira was okay but nothing more. Grayson though, I had trouble with. Some of the things he did just left me in a state of angriness and I was always mad at him. He had lots of issues and a tough life, I get it... but it doesn’t feel like it excuses being mentally abusive (I said what I said). Kira had a tough life too, going from someone who physically abuses you to that... I’m waving a red flag here. She did not deserve the pressure he did put on her constantly, he was so insistent all the time and he was mean at other times and treated her poorly.

I also found it weird how suddenly Grayson changed his mind about getting involved with Kira, because one moment he was just saying he didn’t want to get involved and the next thing we know he’s like "fuck off, let’s bang"! It seems like it came out of nowhere to me. Would have loved for Kira to develop a stronger side, she really often was kind of a doormat.

Another thing I had trouble with was that story with the dog, it broke me... anything with animals though, I’m really not good with... and they just went on with almost having sex while I was still not mentally okay after the dog story. Did. Not. Liked. That.

So yeah, it took me a while to get back to this book so my review is a little weird considering I have a bad memory and took more than a month to read this... sorry. The point is, I had issues. Overall, it’s still an interesting story, Mia’s writing is always so great, deep, emotional, I feel like it can be a read lots of people will enjoy, it was just not one for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bloom Books for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This is my second book from Ms. Sheridan and I have to say it was a much better experience than the first one. I read this story in one day and now know why people love this author so much!
Grayson is a man that got an inheritance from his father and its state is not something you want to mention. Now he must save it as he vowed to prove something while saving it and making it bloom again. And when a beautiful stranger offers him a deal, he must take it! But, what will be the consequences?
Kira had everything in her life if she would play the role her father wanted to put her in, but now when she's about to lose everything she will have to take a step of faith and marry a stranger! Now she will have to put her feelings at bay to not fall for Grayson, but will that be possible?
Both of them are scarred due to the past and not with a stranger they can take a step to change their lives but what if this will make them lose their hearts for the other one? And to say the least, we will love them for their flaws and how they deal with traumas!
A really good intriguing story that will captivate each reader making them devour Grayson and Kira's story! Recommended!

Mia Sheridan is an auto-buy for me, and this one was no exception. She writes excellent romances, and I can't wait for her next!

The book was fine. It wasn't great nor awful, it simply exists in its way.
I have to say that I liked Archer's voice, I didn't love it, but I sure preferred it to this.

Kia and Grayson didn't have enough chemistry; they weren't well-matched, and the spice was bland.
I would've needed more, even if I couldn't precisely say what was missing. It just left me unsatisfied and not quite bored, but nearly.
