THE BROKEN VOWS, by Catharina Maura


The Windsors #4

Zane & Celeste


Trust this author to write a book with so many twists and turns as to give us whiplash!  Zane’s and Celeste’s story is full of back and forth hate and love episodes, starting from when they were school kids and Zane used to bully her.  Under all that hate was love, of course, but the scars were hard to get rid of.  During the course of this book, they did a lot of harm to each other, and underneath all that war of revenge, was a very strong and passionate love.  Trust and jealousy work hand in hand to make this a very angsty and riveting story.

I was mostly angry at Celeste, she trusted in the words of others and didn’t listen to her instincts, thus causing a lot of harm and then suffering with the consequences. I felt for Zane who repented from his bullying years but didn’t get the redemption he needed. I loved all the family around them, with their banter, poker days, high fashion dressing, family dinners. There were lost friendships, reconciliations, bad grandparenting, and financial high stakes warfare. As with all books by this author, it was very satisfyingly angsty!
