Cat's Audiobook Review of Promised Vow: A Fake Fiancés MM Romance (Promises, Promises Book 1) Written by Rye Cox Narrated by Zacharey Zaba @ryecoxauthor @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @RyeCox @TTCBooksandmore

Our impending vows were supposed to be fake… 

Moving home to Kither Springs to help my sister with her baby wasn’t a hardship. I love being with my family, but a few months of sleeping on the couch really takes a toll on you. I desperately needed to move out, but while I was away, my hometown became ‘viral famous.’

A rush of people had clamored to our town, looking for a taste of small-town life, which means less housing. When an apartment finally becomes available, I’m not the only one interested in it, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing…

Ryker is all muscles, adorable frowns, and gooey brown eyes I want to melt into. I know better than to hit on a straight guy, so I offer to be roommates instead. It’ll be just like college.

But then the old landlady insists she only rents to couples, which leads me to blurting out that Ryker and I are engaged… future husbands-to-be. To my utter surprise, my former classmate goes along with the not-so-little white lie.

Now we’re pretending to be in love while I try not to fall in love for real.

Promised Vow is book 1 of the Promises, Promises series set in a small town with meddling neighbors and a tight community of friends and family. This book has size difference, opposites attract, and a very clingy cat.

Cat gives this Audiobook 4 meows story 5 meows performance, 4 Meows overall...

Audio update... I just listened in audio and I loved it even more than the book, and 5 meows to narration. It really added life to an already very good story. I loved the difference in voices as well as the feels! I highly recommend the audiobook in addition to just reading the story.

Cat gives this eBook 4 Meows with a 2 purr heat index...

This is a sweet, slow burn. There's so much I loved about it, where to start. Fake Fiancé, friends to lovers, small town, slow burn, bi awakening. 

I loved both Sam and Ryker, but I loved Sam's sister, gramps and baby nephew too. On Rykers side I loved his friends and cat. 

It's a great story with good plots and a happy ever after. 

My only issue was it didn't feel like a first in series. I felt like I was missing something especially with Jordan and Wren, but it feels like I read that. Having said that, it stands alone fine and is so good. Can't wait for the next.
