Rebecca Ross's writing is just beautiful. I was initially unsure about finishing the duology, but I'm glad I did. I found 'Divine Rivals' to be good, but this was better. Maybe this is partially due to listen to 'Ruthless Vows' on audio. The choice of narrator was excellent. 

And also, Roman and Iris are a romantic couple for the ages.

Just like the first, I couldn’t put it down. Love Iris and Roman’s individual journeys in this one and how Ross ties it all together in the end. This book gives you all the feels !

REBECCA ROSS STRIKES AGAIN!! I am sobbing as I write this review. Iris and Roman, married but separated by Darce have to once again find each other through their words. Roman has his memories removed and Iris is back in Oath searching for a way to fix what's been broken. This book is sooo much better than Divine Rivals. I'm not sure if its the pre established relationships, the more evolved climax, or the constant stream of activity but Ruthless Vows took my breath away. Between the gut wrenching end, the beautiful relationship between Iris and Roman, and the satisfying conclusion of the duology this is everything I wanted it to be and more.

Was a nice wrap up to the first book. It mirrored the plot of the first, but still kept the storyline moving to a resolute finish. Since it was a war setting, I appreciate that the author kept some bitter notes to the happy ending.
