If Mia Sheridan writes it, I'll read it. I'd even read a grocery list written by her. I devoured this book, devoured. I loved the angst, the nicknames, the slow burn...ughhhh it was so good. Serisouly, give this book a try, you won't be disappointed.


Grayson's Vow 4/5 ⭐️
💍 Marriage of Convenice
💍 Grumpy/Sunshine
💍 Dual POV (just a few)

Thank you NetGalley for sending me this ARC for an exchange of an honest review.

I always love Mia Sheridan and this didn't disappoint. I enjoy the character building of Sheridan's cast. She provides the angst that makes you want to dislike characters and then manages to redeem them in the end.

I wanted to dislike Grayson because, let's be honest, he is kind of a jerk. But I couldn't. His life described how and why he got to where he is. There's only so many times people can break your trust and let you down before you give up on people.

Least favorite character: Toss up between Kira's ex and her dad.
Favorite character: Charlotte

Wow, this book was perfection. I could not put this down. This story broke and mended my heart.
This is the story of Keira, who has returned to her Gram's beloved Napa after a year away following an incident. She overhears a man named Grayson be rejected for a loan because he is an ex-con. She recognizes his name and immediately comes up with a plan to help them both.
She goes to him and proposes that they marry each other so that she will get her inheritance from her Gram and they will split the one million dollars. This will allow her independence from her mean and controlling father and save Grayson's failing winery.
What ensues is a wonderful enemies to lovers, fake marriage, strong spirited couple masterpiece. I connected with their hurt at the hands of uncaring parents and adored the love and acceptance they found in this book. I cannot recommend this book enough!

When Kira‘s grandmother dies and leaves her almost $1 million it couldn’t come at a better time…..she’s got nowhere to live and she can’t go to her wealthy father after their falling out. There’s just one catch. Kira can’t touch her grandmother’s money until she’s 30 or married., and neither of those will happen for a long time! Unsure of what to do, Kira overhears a man getting turned down for a business loan. She approaches him with a deal… Marry me for a year, and when we divorce, we will split the money. I really enjoyed this spicy, romantic drama, sat in the beautiful Napa Valley with it’s gorgeous Vineyards and winery’s.. I was disturbed by some depictions of animal abuse, but besides that this is a nicely-written feel good romance. Told in a dual POV. Thank you NetGalley for the digital copy.

Thank you to Mia Sheridan, the publisher, and NetGalley for sending me this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Grayson’s Vow follows Grayson Hawthorn, a felon recently released from prison, who runs a family owned vineyard. Kira Dallaire, risky, lively, and seeking her inheritance, comes to town. Kira sees Grayson and ideas spark - she wants Grayson to marry her so that she can get her inheritance, split it with him to save the vineyard, and then divorce. However, the two have a spark. Lies, love, and lust are present between the two of them - what happens when the two can’t deny it, but Kira’s dad and ex-fiancé get involved…

First off, I love Mia Sheridan. Her books are wonderful. Secondly, I liked this book a lot. It was slow at times, but I did like it a lot. Grayson and Kira give off grumpy x sunshine and I love it. I think the two had tons of chemistry and it was just undeniable. I love the aspect of found family in this book - it was wonderful. Also, who doesn’t love a marriage of convenience trope?

I just couldn’t get into this one. It had Tessa Bailey “Secretly Yours” vibes, though the writing was significantly more polished. Overall I just didn’t believe anything: their relationship, the story line, and it just really affected my ability to truly love this one. Normally I’m all about MS so I’m bummed :(

Kira is out of options when fate causes her to cross paths with Grayson Hawthorn, the man her father wronged years ago. She sees a way to right her fathers wrong as she listens in on Gray asking for a loan and being turned down, and she decides she's going to ask him to marry her. Not for love of course, but so that she can gain access to the trust fund left to her by her Grandmother and in doing so she can help Grayson out of a bind with his failing vineyard.

These two were so hot and cold it was a little hard to keep up at times, but I enjoyed their story. I definitely wanted to slap Grayson more times than not based on his "dragon like" personality but in the end I was happy they pulled it together.

I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review. I LOVED THIS BOOK. In a sad way, it warms my heart to see two broken people find love. I love Kira’s character, she’s feisty and I love all her crazy ideas. Grayson needed some work in the beginning, but I grew to love him too. I’ll be thinking about this love story a while from now. It’s one that sets the bar for other love stories.

also… she forgave him WAY too quickly lol

Look, I loved this one! I didn’t realize this was a rerelease as I’d never read it before but I’m so glad I did! Grayson and Kira were drama at its best! At times they frustrated me hence the 4 stars but I still loved it!

Thank you NetGalley and SourceBooks Bloom Books for this ARC. 🤍

When I saw this ARC opportunity I knew I had to request and I was crossing my fingers and toes I would be chosen as a reader. I did a little happy dance when I got my approval email. 🤭 My first book by Mia Sheridan was Archers Voice (swoon), it’s safe to say anything Mia writes, I’m adding to my TBR.

Graysons Vow was a nice variation of some my favorite tropes; grumpy sunshine, marriage of convenience and enemies to lovers. This is written with dual POV which I also enjoy. It tells a story of Kira and Grayson who are strangers that decide to get married in order to reap the benefits of Kira’s grandmothers inheritance. Kira needs the money to start her own life out from under her fathers thumb and Grayson needs the money to save his vineyard.

The one and only thing I didn’t really like was the whole “dragon and witch” banter repeated so heavily. I’m not sure why to be honest. Most nicknames and banter doesn’t bother me but for some reason this one was a little cringe for me. However, I still recommend this book! 4 stars for me and I am very much looking forward to continuing to read anything Mia writes. This new edition pub date is 07/04/2023. 🎉

Thank you NetGalley! This is my first Mia Sheridan book and this blew me away! The characters backstories and growth were amazing. There were a couple of scenes that had me tearing up! Here's to the little witch and her dragon!

This wasn’t my favorite book from Mia, but I definitely still think a lot of people will enjoy this marriage of convenience romance. I would’ve wished for a little bit more out of the relationship and development of the characters.

3.5 stars

I really liked this book, but I didn’t love it. The concept of the story was really intriguing. Marriage of convenience between Kira, who needs to get married in order to get her inheritance from her grandmother, or otherwise deal with her horrible wealthy father, and Grayson, who is a convicted felon who cannot get a loan to resurrect his family’s vineyard.

I really liked Kira and Grayson together— who have more in common they think with similar childhoods and traumatic pasts. All of the characters written around them though felt like they belonged in the 1800’s…Walter, Charlotte, Virgil? I struggled to keep reminding myself that this is supposed to be a contemporary romance…at least I think. I also hated their nicknames for each other (Dragon and Little Witch).

I really appreciate how Mia writes romances for everyone— not just people who have had pretty easy, trauma-free and/or privileged lives.

Overall I enjoyed this book— it was a quick romance and the spice level was right.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!

Grayson’s Vow took the marriage of convenience trope and packed in as much miscommunication / who hurt you energy as the characters Kira and Grayson could take. I just wanted to see the two of them have some peace in their lives. This was more of a slow burn as Kira and Grayson build a relationship despite neither having much experience with love or trust. This was my third book by Mia Sheridan’s and I’m loving her storytelling. Thank you to Bloom Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

I am an absolutely huge Mia Sheridan fan. Her books are fantastic! So I was shocked when I started reading this one that it honestly, just didn't feel like one of her books. I made it halfway through but I am seriously despising this book, so I'm giving up!

Five Stars - “Dragon and Witch” Stars.
Thank you NetGalley for approving me to read this book.
I absolutely love this book. It will make you mad. laugh and cry all in one chapter.
Kira needs a way to finally escape her father and her past. Grayson’s is caught up with his past and needs a way to save his vineyard, fulfil the vow he make to his father and finally make a future to himself. So when Kira comes to him with a business proposition he feels like his best option to save himself from ruin.

This is a must read. Read it this summer

I love Mia Sheridan, I love wine, and I love the marriage of convenience trope. Requesting to read this was literally a no brainer. Unfortunately, it was a big miss for me. Kira was a well-rounded character with a heart of gold and, for the most part, good intentions. Grayson, however, was toxic with a capital T. I haven’t despised a love interest as much as him in I don’t know how long. He became more and more unbearable with each chapter and he really ruined the book for me. Alpha male characters are fine but that wasn’t the even the case with Grayson, he was just a crappy person. Being dealt a poor hand doesn’t give a person the excuse to act as horribly as he does and I was sick at every attempt to validate his actions so the reader could feel sympathy for him. Sheridan books tend to be drama heavy and soap opera-esque., this one more than usual. Not my the smoothest or most natural dialogue either. Overall, I can’t deny I’m a bit bummed out. Mia Sheridan is still an auto-buy author for me and I think this was just not the book for me. It has fabulous reviews though so I might just be an outlier.

Thank you @read_bloom @netgalley for a copy of this. I always love a marriage of convenience and the reason for Grayson and Kira made total sense. I love that Grayson was sort of an ass when Kira moved into the winery and his assumptions about an heiress was all wrong. Their banter was great and the supporting casts of characters gave the story depth. Both of their dads were so horrible and it seemed just a tad unrealistic. Overall, I enjoyed this one.

It was a good book. However, I do have to point out that the male Mc was named Grayson Hawthorn. Usually there would be no problem, but Grayson Hawthorne is a pretty prominent character in the inheritance games series. Did nobody check this? Did they not care? I get it if it was a small book,but inheritance games is a big series. Idk I kinda feel like it’s trying to ride on the coattails of inheritance games by being the second search result when you look up Grayson hawthorn/Hawthorne. An adult romance with pretty much the same character? Sure! Why not?!

I usually like Mia Sheridan's books, but this was a big miss for me. Grayson is not a good guy and the heroine is just weak and pathetic and doesn't even fight for herself. I understand the damsel in distress vibes, but this was just gross, especially when you consider how Grayson treated her. There was so much wrong with this book, and I don't even have adequate words for how I really feel about it but I just cannot recommend this one.
