Stolen Vows is book three in the Avalon Falls Series, and I was so excited to head back for Graham's story. I've been so curious about the broody, grumpy brother since book two, and he definitely didn't disappoint.

Graham and Francesca were one slow burn that had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation for the sparks to finally combust and combust they did. Graham was so sweet and swoony with his coffee & treat deliveries for both Francesca and Romeo, the coffee walks, and his protectiveness of them both. Francesca never had unconditional love or someone in her corner fighting for her, but she was learning what it felt like with the Carter family in her life.
“ᴡᴇ’ʀᴇ ᴇxᴀᴄᴛʟʏ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡᴇ’ʀᴇ ᴍᴇᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ, sᴜɴsʜɪɴᴇ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏs ᴍᴇᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ. ᴛᴇɴ ʏᴇᴀʀs ɪs ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ɪғ ɪᴛ ᴍᴇᴀɴs ɪ ɢᴇᴛ ᴛᴏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ғᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ.”
If you love a small town, slow burn, marriage of convenience, grumpy x sunshine, it's always been you, my wife, with a dash of romantic suspense then you definitely want to head to Avalon Falls with Graham and Francesca.
