Zane should have been more understanding, but Celeste did go to far!
It took me so, so long to finish this book. I dragged my friggin feet. I almost think I should’ve DNFed but I continued out of my loyalty to Catharina Maura. Normally, I binge read her books, but something was a little off about this one. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I don’t know if it’s because we didn’t really get to see them heal, or if it’s because of the “plot twist” that felt unnecessarily over the top (and I say that as an Indian gal who grew up watching notoriously dramatic Indian telenovelas).
The way Catharina Maura’s books have a hold on me! I love the Windsor series and Broken Vows is no exception. Zane and Celeste’s story is so heartbreaking in how long it takes for them to find their HEA. These two have gone through it w/obstacle after obstacle thrown at them. You want them to be together just as much as they want to be even though they are business rivals and supposed to hate one another. This is a journey from start to finish and although you could read it as a stand alone, I highly recommend starting with book 1 so you can enjoy the way previous characters come and go and to get the books full impact. It’s a delight to see how this entire world is woven together.
If you like a really good romantic story with toast and turns you didn’t expect, spicy love scenes and an emotional rollercoaster than this is your read. I think I went through all the emotions with this one.
Everything C.M. drops is a readers delight and I can’t wait for the next instalment in this Windsor Saga!
Heartbreaking, Beautiful and Completely Satisfying

Perfect pain.
That's the only way I can describe this book. It's EVERYTHING!!! It hurt me so very badly and I loved every second of it. I will never forget about this book. I'm a sucker for second chance and arranged marriages and this is both???? This shoots to the top of my favourites list.
Infinite stars.

I cried it literally broke my heart then pulled it back together
it’s actually been 45 years since i didn’t sleep so i could read i have the spirit of a grandma nothing gets in the way of me and sleep i go to bed at 9pm. (i did go to sleep at 9pm but i woke up at 4am and started reading and couldn’t stop) this made me remember how much i love angsty ass books. while i was very entertained and really rooting for them it felt very repetitive which annoyed me a little. and also a woman is never wrong so the fmc messing up felt wrong in my bones it should always be men groveling. this book was honestly painful but good. i forgot what it felt like to root for a couple so hard i need to start reading slow burns again. idk i’m having mixed feelings about this book but i did read that in like 4 seconds so i was definitely entertained.
