Thank you Bloom Books and Netgalley for a copy of this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Mia Sheridan does it again! Another fabulous book that has amazing characters (besides Grayson at one point in the book). One of my favorite tropes is marriage for convenience and this book was perfect in that area. The side characters were my absolute favorite. They made the story that much better with their support. I do think that this book was a lighter, easier-to-read book by Mia Sheridan. She has some tougher-to-read books, but this was a cute, enemies-to-lovers romance.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book.

I always have to mentally prepare myself when I pick up a Mia Sheridan book; there will be angst, trauma, and I will be unable to set it aside until I’m done. 😂. Grayson’s Vow was no different. Marriage of convenience, family drama, healing from trauma, break ups and make ups, groveling!, found family, and super hot steam. Mia’s stories just have a way of literally grabbing you! And she is the only author who can redeem her MMC’s after I want to strangle them myself. I loved this book from start to finish.

Oh, how I love this book so much. It’s a book you have to read without stopping because it draws you in so much that you can’t stop but read it in one full day (which is what I did ☺️). The idea behind this book was excellent and great to read through. I adore them so much and adore the crap out of the secondary characters as well, except for two of them, and y’all know which 2.



Kira Dallarie was broke when she arrived in Naples but now has two thousand dollars after visiting the bank. While at the bank, she overhears Grayson Hawthorne, whom she has heard of before but never really knew, trying to get a loan but being denied due to him being an ex-felon. Grayson Hawthorne is just trying to keep his family vineyards afloat since his father gave it to him after he died while Grayson was in prison.



Kira comes up with one of her many terrible ideas, which has her talking to Grayson the very next morning after she saw him at the bank in his office at the vineyard. Both in need of money, Kira has a perfect plan. They get married for a year to get the trust left to her by her Grandma, split it, and then get divorced.



And they decide to go along with it. As they slowly spend more time together, they learn their past secrets, and their feelings begin to develop. They care so deeply for each other, and it’s just something the other person needs. Their earning each other’s trust is wonderful to read about. Everything about them is perfect.

this book was devastating and so beautiful at the same time. If there’s one think Mia Sheridan does well, it’s break your heart into a million pieces and then put it back together.

By 60% my emotions were all over the place, especially for Grayson. I kept thinking, the groveling has to be top tier to make up for everything, and it was! The last few scenes made me love the book so much more.

Kira was such a strong and compassionate character and I loved how she would deal with the obstacles she faced.

This story was raw, beautiful and angsty and about a love between two broken people. Mia Sheridan never fails to make me fall in love with her writing. This is my third book by her and she continues to awe me with how she displays romance between two people and how realistic it feels. I highly recommend reading this if you’re in the mood for some heartbreak, and a beautiful story🤍

Again Mia Sheridan is absolutely killing it and me with these amazing stories. The spice in this book was phenomenal. I loved the story and characters they felt very extraordinary and the plot sucked me in completely.

Another amazing read from Mia Sheridan. A forced- proximity, enemies to lovers story, with a HEA. The only reason for a lost star is that the MMC annoyed me at some points with over reactions, but otherwise it is a humorous, easy to read story.

I thought this was okay. The beginning was good, but it ended up being way too long for me that parts needed to be cut. I just got bored. Kira daughter of a mayor and Grayson who is also an ex-felon, but now runs his families failing winery, get in a marriage of convenience for benefits needed for both mutual parties. It was sad to see how Kira was treated by her father in some of the scenes. This didn't tug at my heart as I thought it would.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Such a good read. My soft spot for damaged goods is real lol

Grayson has had an awful relationship with his dad, and his upbringing was heartbreaking.
His current state just isn't the greatest either.
Kira is also battling trials with her own dad.

Both in tight spots.
Both headstrong and defiant.
Their inner monologe eludes to lots more deeper things though.

I love seeing this story pan out and learn about the beautiful vineyard. It also had a couple phenomenal side characters.

Thank you netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for allowing me to read this book.
Mia Sheridan does it again!!!! I always love her books! I was super happy with how quickly you get right into the story with this book! I love the fire and passion Grayson and Kira bring out into each other and loved the dual POV. I really loved the drama and characters! Mia Sheridan has a way of combining heart wrenching and heart melting moments all in one book. I was also so happy to get a little sneak peak of becoming Calder that she will be releasing in the future which of course I will need to buy immediately!

I’ve loved most of Mia Sheridan’s books, so I was really excited to read Grayson’s Vow, especially since it has two of my favourite tropes: marriage of convenience & grumpy/sunshine.

While I didn’t love this book as much as Archer’s Voice or Kyland, it was still an enjoyable, fast read that kept me wanting to know what would happen next! I especially loved the winery setting.

Grayson was my main issue with this book. He was not an easy character to root for, especially with how he treated Kira. I loved Kira’s character and thought she deserved better than Grayson.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

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…

I LOVED Archer’s Voice so I had to request this one! A bit into the story and you just know there is more to Kira than you originally think. Grayson has had a troubled past that caused him to build up some heavy walls. I absolutely adored Charlotte, Grayson’s housekeeper. She was the best!

I thought the storyline was interesting - I kept waiting for that moment that I knew they would be busted! My only complaint was the pet names. Grayson “dragon” and Kira “little witch”, and just felt overused. Overall, sweet story and a fun summer read!

Archer’s Voice is still my favorite! Recently found the next book, Travis, on Kindle Unlimited and can’t wait to read that soon!

Prepare to be swept away on an emotional rollercoaster of love, forgiveness, and second chances in Mia Sheridan's heartrending romance novel, "Grayson's Vow." This beautifully crafted story delves deep into the complexities of human emotions, leaving readers with an unforgettable and soul-stirring experience.

Set against a picturesque backdrop, the story revolves around Kira Dallaire, a woman burdened by her past, and Grayson Hawthorn, a man whose life was torn apart by betrayal. When fate brings these two wounded souls together, an unbreakable bond begins to form, and the healing power of love takes center stage.

Mia Sheridan has an incredible gift for creating characters that feel so real, they leap off the page. Kira's vulnerability and strength make her instantly relatable, while Grayson's brooding demeanor conceals a gentle soul yearning for redemption. The chemistry between these two characters is palpable, igniting a slow-burning romance that will leave readers breathless.

Review: Grayson’s Vow - Mia Sheridan

I was very lucky to receive this as an ARC and have only just got to read it due to University commitments.

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. A marriage-of-convenience spicy standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice.

🍇 Marriage for Convenience
🍇 Enemies to Lovers
🍇 Forced Proximtiy

This book had me hooked from the beginning!! I could not put it down!! I loved the storyline of this book being based in a Napa winery!!

I loved Grayson and Kira’s characters in this book!! I loved how in the moment Kira’s character is and the Grayson started to really open up to her. I especially loved their nicknames for each other of “witch” and “dragon”.

I definitely recommend reading this book! I cannot wait to read another of Mia’s books shortly!

Rating: 4 / 5⭐️’s

Love is messy, fun, scary, exhilarating, and confusing. Through the lens of Kira and Grayson, Mia Sheridan encompass all the facets of true love and the journey that takes us there. This is not your typical love story...but so much more! This was my first book by her and I love how she was able to paint such a vivid portrait of all the emotions that come with figuring out and falling in love and I felt every single one!

A marriage of convenience and a business deal between Kira and Grayson leads to situations where they both have to deal with their past and decide what they both truly want. They both need money, and marriage will grant them an inheritance to split. A quick divorce will let them walk away with what they both want. But is walking away really what they want, though? Kira's hesitant about letting Grayson in, and keeps secrets to protect herself. Grayson is a brooding winemaker with a history of jail time, and they both have horrible fathers that cause them both to have trust issues. The story kept going and I was invested in the outcome, rooting for the love story to win!

What I loved - the story! I mean, the ugly truth turned beautiful is a story line I will never tire of!

What I didn't love - I struggled with Grayson. Ugh...he's such an @$$ Stop being a victim and start making good decisions without thinking everyone is out to get you. Also, how he talked about Kira during the love scenes made me laugh out loud! Who talks like that in the moment?!

Overall, I give this book 4 stars!

Thank you NetGalley and SourceBooks Bloom Books for the ARC of this novel!

Yet another beautiful story of healing and hope from Mia Sheridan! Grayson's vow combines gritty realism with fairy tale ethos in this opposites attract, marriage of convivence story that is brimming with heartfelt emotion. Kira is such a loving and effervescent heroine. I adored her- she's easy to love and root for. Despite all she's been through, she brings so much light to those around her, is generous and kind and joyful. Grayson, on the other hand, is a slowburn kind of hero- he takes a while to unpack, which means he takes a minute to warm up to. He's grumpy and bitter, distrustful and emotionally restrained. But he's had so many obstacles that it's understandable how his heart has been heavy from it all. But when he finds himself in a important and unexpected marital arrangement with a stranger, one so opposite of him, she ignites some fire in him that jolts his carefully guarded ornery persona. The push-pull is delectable, the chemistry dynamic, and I loved how falling together helped them both grow. It's emotionally rich from start to finish- another example of Mia Sheridan's authorial finesse when it comes to deconstructing the human heart so beautifully on page.

I wanted to love this book so much. I absolutely loved Stinger and thought this might be a long the same lines as far as speed/plot/etc. As much as I wanted to love the characters and story, I just felt that it was dragging throughout most of the book. I could understand where both protagonists would show growth throughout their journey, both as individuals and together, but it felt like it just took too long to get there. Even towards the end the things that did happen didn't feel like it was enough to keep me engaged with the story.

Mia Sheridan really knows how to pull on the heartstrings. Grayson’s Vow is an absolutely beautiful, emotional, and captivating read. It tells the story of two damaged individuals, Grayson Hawthorn and Kira Dallaire, who enter into a marriage of convenience that ultimately blossoms into a passionate love story. Grayson is an ex-con trying to save his family vineyard while Kira is seeking independence from her wealthy and abusive father. Though their arrangement is purely transactional at first, the two soon find themselves drawn to each other despite their prickly exteriors and troubled pasts.
Grayson has a heartbreaking past that has shaped him into a bitter and untrusting man, while Kira remains optimistic and kind-hearted despite her own painful history.

Kira is definitely one of my favorite heroine. I love how fiercely independent, yet selfless and gentle she was. Although Grayson was very abrasive and off putting at first, I couldn't help but also love him. Watching the two fall in love and helping each other heal made my heart so happy. I truly couldn’t put this book down because it was just so beautifully written and perfect. I just know that Grayson and Kira’s story will be one that sticks with me for a very long time. I cannot recommend this book enough.
