I received this novel in exchange for an honest review.The Seduction Vow is sweet story about a young woman who is trying to move on with her life after a bad breakup. The biggest issue for Graci is that one of her best friends is getting married in a couple months and she refuses to be the only one at the wedding in her immediate group still a virgin. So Graci sets out to change herself and break the norm. What she hadn't planned on in the course of her life makeover was a tattooed musician named Neal.This is a sweet story about post relationship breakup life and how in reality we do things to ease the heartache. There's all kinds of post breakup entertainment in this story that I enjoyed, however it was a little too fast for my liking. Though this book is a quick read and has a believable plot, I was a little disappointed that I really didn't get a chance to take the journey of the relationship of Graci and Neal. It felt as if the relationship was breezed over and more time was spent on how Graci wanted to take new risks in her life. Now don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the story but I just felt like the connection to Graci and Neal wasn't there for me. Now we all know some relationships take time to get over, however if there is a new prospect of love more time and dedication is put into it along with all the unspoken reservations of past relationships.There were also some scenes that were written into the plot that had me asking so many more questions about sub characters but they were never answered; I'm hopeful that in the novels to follow these questions are answered. What was truly enjoyable was Graci and the girls. The relationship they had was so similar to some of my friendships that I found myself enjoying the girl banter and scenes they had together. It's good to have a healthy balance of friendships and theses ladies definitely show that.Overall, it was an enjoyable book. I do wish there was more depth with some of the characters, but this is the first book in the series so more might be unveiled in subsequent novels.
