Daniel Hurst

Alison is happily married to Graham, or at least she is until she discovers that he has been cheating on her. Her husband has broken the vows that he made on their wedding day. How could he do it? It takes Alison a while to figure it out, but at least she has time on her side. Only that is where she is wrong. A devastating diagnosis means the clock is ticking faster now, and the betrayed wife must act fast if she wants revenge on her cheating partner. Alison does just that, implementing a dangerous and deadly plan, and it's one that will have far-reaching consequences for several people, including her clueless husband.

The Broken Vows

Sophia

The breath rushes out of my lungs, leaving me lightheaded as I stare at the entrance, enchanted. Every thought fades away until there’s nothing left but her — my 

“You can have it,” I tell her, the words escaping my lips before I’ve had a chance to truly think them through. “The hotel. If you want it, it’s yours.”

She blinks at me in confusion, but then the biggest smile transforms her face, and something akin to hope sparkles in her eyes. Fucking hell. I caved. Again. In this battle of wills, I’ll always lose, because it means seeing her smile like that.

Zane walks me to the passenger seat and opens the door for me. I glance up at him, my heart skipping a beat. Does he realize he’s started to do that again?

“Haven’t seen her in a while,” Luca adds, frowning. “She went to college in London, didn’t she? How long was she away? Three years?”

5 years, two months, and twelve days, actually.

She’s right to say we’re playing a game, the way we always have. What my beautiful Celestial hasn’t quite figured out is that this time, I’m playing for keeps.

I’ve waited years for a shot with her — I won’t wait another second, won’t let my own dumb behavior come between us the way it used to.

I frown as I try to think back. I’ve always had tunnel vision when it comes to Celeste — when she’s in the room, I can’t see anyone else. That’s been the case since we were ten. It just took me six years to understand why.

I grin as I try my luck and entwine our fingers. She has no idea how fast my heart is beating when I lead her out the backdoor, nor does she realize just how much I love the feel of her hand in mine.

For as long as I can remember, she’s made me feel unlike myself, and with each year that passes, it just gets worse.

I’ll be whatever you want me to be, Celestial, so long as you let me be yours.

I gently cup her face, and she sighs as she leans into me, her own hand finding its way to my chest. She places her palm over my heart, and it instantly beats faster for her. Always for her.

“Do you have any idea what it’s like to look into the eyes of the woman you love more than anything, and realize she never loved you the same?

No matter what happened, I could never do to her what she did to me. I’d have walked away and ended things. I never would’ve hurt her like that — and that’s why it can’t ever work between us.

She doesn’t have any faith in me, in us, and I don’t trust her. Even if she fell back in love with me, I’d never be able to trust that her feelings are real, that she wouldn’t destroy us the next time someone accuses me of something.

Each time she smiles at me, I wonder if it’s even real, or if it’s another act.

I can’t live like that, not even for her.”

She was his first love, his first heartbreak, and his only regret.

Zane Windsor always loved the way Celeste Harrison’s eyes light up when he infuriates her. It just took him years to realize that what he felt for his childhood rival wasn’t hatred.

When they begin working for their family businesses, competing on a larger scale than ever before, he decides he wants it all with her — and what Zane Windsor wants, he gets.

Zane and Celeste discover just how thin the line between love and hate truly is, falling harder than either of them thought possible...

…until an unexpected tragedy leaves them wondering if any of it was ever real at all.

Led by a desire for revenge, Zane brings Celeste’s company to the brink of bankruptcy, leaving both of their grandparents no choice but to intervene.

The Windsors and Harrisons agree to a merger — on one condition: Zane and Celeste must marry each other.

Windsor series Book 4

If you are looking for a book that is academic rivals to one night stand to enemies to lovers to enemies to an arranged marriage to lovers. With a healthy amount of angst that makes you either want to throw the book against the wall or to binge it all in one sitting. And I ate this book up, I love feeling every emotion while reading a book and this fourth book in the series did it and I loved every second about it. Like I think I’ve said before the pages are laced with something because this book is 500 pages and I read 90% of it in one day obsessed with  all of it and needing to know what happens. I’m excited to jump into Lexington’s book next because he has been so read about before and it’s time to see what his story will be like because I know there won’t be a dull second throughout.

Devoured this in one day.

Honestly was skeptical at first but I loved the theme and the dynamic between the two characters.

I'm excited for the next installment!!

Zane was too sweet if that can even be a thing but still loved him. Celeste kept annoying me with the constant mention of Lily

》Lex laughs and shakes his head. “Damn. I’ll never be that whipped,” he says to himself, and I grin as I follow my wife, knowing that isn’t true — it’s a Windsor trait. Our wives own us, and I let myself forget it for a little while.《

This is the realest thing in the whole series lmao They are so whipped it would be pathetic if it wasn't as peferct as it is. Zane took it to a whole different level though. The way he loves Celeste even outdid his brothers which says A LOT.

The past chapters were so good even tho I was anxious the whole time seeing each new chapter as a tick from the bomb that was about to blow up. And god, when shit exploded it really went everywhere. Never have I ever read something quite surreal and unbelievable as this. It was insane. And not in the good way.

I actually hated the last chapter of the past and the first 15 chapters of the present. It was insufferable. That's why rating this book is so hard because if the present didn't happen this would've been a no-brainer and 5 stars. But the batshit crazy drama went down and it threw me off so much, I even thought about dnf-ing. And then it took in true Windsor fashion so long to get to a place that didn't hurt like hell or was just depressing af. But in the end it was an enjoyable read and I really did love everything else.

I needed a lot of time to forgive her because the way Zane hurt was so unfair. Even though, I can understand why she reacted the way she did, I can understand him more. She truly fucked up.

》This is why it could never work between us, because when we fell apart, we broke the solid foundation that made us who we were.《

Near the end she had me sweating that there wouldn't be a happy end - impossible, I know haha. But the way they talked really made me gave up because every thing was true. There are things you can't fix. I'm so glad they did tho!

》“I vow to love you, and only you, forever and always. Through the ups and downs, I’ll be faithful, compassionate, and patient. I’ve loved you through all the seasons in life, Celeste, and I’ll continue to do so. Day after day, I will choose you, no matter what. That, my beautiful Celestial, is a vow.”《

It's so cute how they've always only were with each other. Like those adorable grandparents that tell you they met at 15 and spent all those years together since.

The Epilogue really made me weak, too. That first paragraph was the cutest thing I have ever read in my whole entire life.

We got the best gift as an ending, tho. I was worried sick how Sierra and Xavier would turn out, especially after he got that girlfriend of his, but now I'm just happy and excited for their book!

It guts me everytime he mentioned their mother. They all loved them so much it makes me so sad everytime they mention them. Even worse is that I don't like their grandmother. She wasn't a good mother figure at all. I'm glad Zane has Clara now because she is what their grandmother wishes to be.

Now this wouldn't be a review of me, if I didn't hate on the grandmother. And I really really REALLY HATE her. Each book makes me hate her more even when I think it couldn't get worse. And everytime she tries to turn it around and blab about only wanting the best for them when she doesn't. She is the worst grandma I ever read about. One of the worst woman overall to be honest. Other "villains" in romance books are at least openly vindictive towards the reader. To do these things to the people she loves makes you wonder what she does to people she hate.

WHEN THEY ALL KNELT BEFORE HER AND BEGGED HER TO LET HIM MARRY HER?!?!?!?!

Not only did it show how much Zane and the rest of his family love Celeste but it also showed what a BITCH his grandma is. The audacity of denying him and threatening to disown hin, only to later forcing him to marry the girl that not only broke his heart but did so much worse. That woman has me gagged in every single book when she shows how little you can love your family while pretty much only "loving" them as their single occupation. She should see a therapist on that.
