An Inconvenient Vow by Alice Coldbreath

4.0

Confession Time: I love idiot heroes!

Give me a himbo, an awkward grouch, a clueless moron and pair him with a capable, strong woman and I am here for it. Make him a virgin? *chef’s kiss*

Jeffree DeCressy was such an idiot. He was so awkward and clueless, but hid that behind arrogance and grouchiness. It was endearing af. He is one of the first heroes in this series where his growth overshadowed his lady’s. His growth ‘in the sheets’ (as he calls it) was particularly good as this is also Coldbreath’s first virgin hero.

Other than that though, this book was quite similar to the rest of the series; with a marriage of convenience (the only trope Coldbreath writes), a knight hero who competes in Touneys, a strong heroine who’s assertive and takes no crap and a cleaning or renovation of a house or castle.

These books are good but they kind of blend together now and I found myself drifting in and out of the audio a bit. I still love this author’s writing style and humour and her awkward sex scenes. I can do without the stupid Queen and court stuff though.

Overall a good read and a great couple.
