The Broken Vows by Catharina Maura
4.0

Emotional Whiplash!!

This one was HEAVY!!!

Zane has secretly loved Celeste since the beginning of time, rivals all throughout their youth. But unfortunately like too many boys, Zane hurt her feelings over and over again thinking she’d just understand how he felt.

Why is this a thing?! Like truly, how do they learn this illogical behavior?!

Celeste isn’t much better, continuously hating Zane (and thinking he hated her) into adulthood for constantly besting her and teasing her throughout their childhood when in reality her issues should be with her grandfather equating her worth to Zane’s.

After Celeste returns from her years abroad to run her grandfather’s empire, in direct competition with The Windsors, their whirlwind romance truly begins.


- enemies to lovers
- marriage of convenience
- forced proximity


I love how Zane immediately starts to make an amends when she returns from London and they start a beautiful love journey.

Now Lily, well huh that’s all I can say. Mental illness is so important to acknowledge and discuss, but damn the pain and suffering of loved ones left in the dark was STRONG in this one.

Celeste deserved better and Zane truly, truly deserved better.
