This book was a 5🌟 read for the first 60-70% of the book for me. Not because it was flawless but because it really ensnared me - I love the authors writing style and the included tropes and that definitely made me overlook some flaws (just some scenes that didn't feel quite plausible/loopholes). Adored it. The scenery change just didn't quite hit my sweet spot so, in the end, I rated this book a great 4.5.
Some tropes: bodyguard, touch her and you die, one bed
Definitely has one or two spicy scenes.
I'm sorry to say this wasn't it for me. Thought about DNFing this book several times to be honest. I just didn't like the main character at all (and it's not because she's morally grey, i just could not sympathise with her at all). I liked the idea but not the execution of this book, it felt a bit like a (not so well written) fanfiction. I will say that I liked the last 100 pages a lot betterbecause it picked up a little speed then.
I was positively surprised by this book. I absolutely loved the writing, the humor, the characters - I didn't want to stop reading and almost read the whole thing in one go.
I think this was my first 5 star read this year, it was absolutely perfect for me.

I adore Rebecca Ross' work! Divine Rivals was a definite 5 star read for me and Ruthless Vows is no less amazing - the only reason I have to downgrade to 4 stars is.. well, simply put, it was too tense for my liking, too oppressive. I was hoping for a it to get just a tad more hopeful but with Roman under Dacres clutches I felt this constant oppression. And on one hand I think it's great that the author can make me feel so much for these characters but on the other hand.. because the situation pervailed throughout the entire book,it was too much for my liking. I don't want to critique the plot, because, again, I think it's absolutely well written, but it just wasn't for me. Still, another great R.Ross book that I enjoyed and I'm looking forward to dive into her other books.
