Publisher's summary

Never did Sabina Burrell imagine that foiling a plot against her sister would lead to her having to wed the arrogant Sir Jeffree de Crecy. She has never met such a loathsome man, and that included her late husband.

Proud Sir Jeffree, raised in the expectation of succeeding to his uncle’s title, is appalled to become ensnared in a scheme to discredit his uncle’s intended bride. The whole thing is beneath his dignity, as is the shameless young widow who denounces him in front of everyone and makes him look a fool!

Jeffree will do anything to salvage his honour, even if it means wedding a woman he despises. Revenge will be sweet indeed, ensuring Sabina pays for what she did. What he does not anticipate, is that his own long-prized vow of chastity will be so very sorely tried….

An Inconvenient Vow is a stand-alone novel of over 148,000 words and is set in a medieval style landscape in the fictional kingdom of Karadok. Please do not purchase if you are offended by strong language and/or sex scenes.

A winner

I was curious how Alice Coldbreath would write this story. It was wonderful. Grateful Anne Flosnik read the story. She does a marvelous job and I am used to all the voices from returning characters.

Another fantastic book

I’ve enjoyed all of Alice Coldbreath’s books and this one was no exception. Her unique story lines and relatable characters make her one of my favorite authors.

Interesting turn of events

Quite unexpected storyline. Very well written, and nicely performed. I look forward to the next installment in this series.

So Good

I enjoyed this immensely. Its Jane Austen reminiscent but with spice. So incredibly satisfied!

Finished this Audible and listened again

I am a fan of both Alice Coldbreath and Anne Flosnik. When I received word that this Audible was available, I used my one credit to purchase the book. I was not disappointed. I already had a passing acquaintance with the hero, as he had been mentioned in a previous Coldbreath book. I loved the interactions between heroine and hero. I laughed out loud at times. This book provided me a much-needed respite from the too-serious aspects of daily interactions. I actually completed the book and went back to earlier chapters to re-listen. I must add that the book is explicit in certain sections. However, it is so tastefully written and narrated that I personally took no offense. I have a collection of Coldbreath's books, and look forward to more to come.

Love the story but not the performance

Not the narrator’s best performance out of the series. The voices sounded kinda ugly this time and some of the words weren’t delivered how I thought they’d be where the narrator interpreted them as arguing when I read it as them teasing each other. Don’t know which one’s more accurate just know I don’t like stories where the characters fight too much.

A new favorite

What a sweet delightful story. Kee up the great work Alice Coldbreath and Anne Flosnik.

Another Triumph Alice Coldbreath! A true page turner. Anne Flosnik, my favorite narrator! What a great team! Thank you!♥️

FUNNY

Strong start, but weak finish. The epilogue was more of a last chapter than a comment.
The heroine became very whiny in the last few chapters… can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Alice Coldbreath is one of my favorite authors, and Anne Flosnik is indispensable in this series. Absolutely an incredible narrator.

DNF

I have enjoyed so many of Alice Coldbreath's stories that I was shocked how boring and annoying this one was. Both main characters are petulant and childish. The bickered and argued continually hour after hour of listening. If they weren't bickering, there was loooonnnng periods of both of their inner monologues consisting of misunderstanding each other. There was only one interesting moment, when the heroine meets the the hero's first betrothed. That was a tiny blip in this story. I just couldn't make myself listen to this anymore.
