CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS
I could not put this book down!
I was very excited about the release of this book after reading the others in the series, I would say I am fairly satisfied with the outcome. Fierce Vow incorporates all of my favorite tropes that are decently written.
Book 3 follows the story of the youngest Kozlev brother Leo and his first and only love Alyona. All the angst and soft feelings I was looking for, mainly since this is a second-chance romance. However these feelings all but disappeared to be replaced with smut. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I just prefer for these to co-exist rather than replace. But I would have loved to see more of their connection and spark as well as the plot.
A lot of the book does take place in the past while exploring the second chance storyline but is told from the first perspective while using a dual POV technique, my favorite.
One thing Monica definitely got right was the MMC and FMC relationships with their siblings, I loved seeing this dynamic play out and imitate true sibling relationships.
Aly was definitely a strong independent woman who could handle herself and she was overall likable but I found her to be a little hypocritical as she would do the exact opposite of what she said.
Overall it is a quick read and is far from feeling rushed, I read this in around an hour and a half, it is fast-paced and flows very well. Definitely, the best brother in my opinion, and can't wait for Book 4 with Kira's POV after that ending!!

I just have to say wow this book is one my favorite this whole summer. Put all my tropes together in a book and I just couldn't put it down I needed to know what exactly was going to happen to Alyona and Leo. A love story started full of lust and a secrets encounters ended up being one of the most beautiful stories I have read. Alyona is a fierce girl that would've done anything for her family. Leo was so in love with her he would've done anything to keep her happy. In my opinion this book is a total 5 out 5. The story was absolutely beautiful and so well written the more you read the more you want. I am going to read the rest of the series because I need to know what else is going to happen. I totally recommend this book it's absolutely perfect.
