The Irish King #3
Irish Vow
Two men who want me. One man who loves me. And all of our secrets out in the open.
Alexandre says he loves me, but this isn’t love. Liam, step by step, has shown me that. But now there’s just more than my life hanging in the balance. More than just my future at risk.
There’s Liam’s place at the head of the Irish Kings. Alexandre’s life. The woman who Liam was meant to marry—a promise that he’s sworn he’ll break, whatever that requires. An empire that could crumble, all because he loves me.
A love that I’m not sure I deserve. A future that I’m not sure I’m capable of living.
But Saoirse isn’t the end of Liam’s secrets, and what’s left threatens to break apart everything we have. And still there’s Alexandre, waiting to claim what he thinks is his.
When the cards are on the table and every last secret is revealed, there’s only one question left to answer.
Which vows will we keep—and which ones will we break?

Ugh this is just as bad as a soap opera on daytime tv. Dream it up it will happen. It gets very ridiculous and almost to the point you don’t want anyone to be with anyone

Biggest Fudging Disappointment Ever
Spoilers!!!
I waited for months for this 3rd book. There is literally no conclusion. They end up together but you get no other answers. And Alexandre lived…..what happened to the other women he bought? They just let him go like he was a normal boyfriend. He just changes his mind after someone tells him to. 3 books!!! They meet. Instalove. She gets kidnapped and sold. He saves her. And Luca and Viktor betray Liam. And Cat saying all that to Ana….that’s not a friend. I’m just so upset. So so so disappointed. Like almost feel betrayed by the author. Just read my comment, you know what happens. Alexandre goes back to Paris, Ana is preggo and they don’t find out who’s the daddy. And Liam and Ana could die at any moment from the kings for breaking the vow to Soriese. Not worth it.

I loved my little ballerina and my irish king (he was so sensitve but still masculine). Not really happy about the happy for now ending (and how my beautiful Liam was hurt).
Saoirse needs a beat down, Like SHE NEEDS to get her just desserts and I'm hoping she gets them in the next series w/ conner. he Dad needs to be offed sorry, not sorry.

is it bad i preferred Alexandre somewhat? it’s supposed to be a dark tale clearly with morally grey characters who have done both amazing and awful things, but i didn’t end up hating who i thought i would? I’m EXCITED for Alexandres story, as annoying as he could be the whole point of his character was his obsessive love so i was used to that. And in an odd way i want him to be happy, even if it isn’t with Ana, who i felt like given freedoms, they would’ve been really well suited in a regular ideal situation. LIAM, ironically, pissed me off with the constant omission lies. You could say Ana was annoying with the wishy-washy, but given everything this strong woman has been through it made sense for her character, so i was patient with that. I still don’t like Saoirse, she just PISSED me off with that arrogant i’m going to get what i waht demeanor, like girl give it up. Not excited for her and Connors book at all. Already knowing the innocent girl saving a bad guy trope is going to happen is not exciting to me unfortunately. Also when is she going to stop playing duty game with her dad who literally told Liam it would be ok to cheat on his daughter as long as he kept it private. Like sis you have a college degree leave that wretched family and make a life for yourself.
The story wasn’t exactly what i was hoping for, but overall it was decently alright. Even if they found out the baby was Alexandres which is implied it most most most likely is, would he really not ever meet his child? I felt weird about that part… idk. Could have been a good healing arc dealing with a former love and showing he learn to move on with the presence of his kid. Like I don’t like kids in general and despise pregnancy tropes, but it still doesn’t sit right with me that he never got the chance to know… if that makes sense, walking away and giving up a potentially amazing chance?

Overall review of the three books:
Irish Savior: 3 stars
Irish Promise: 3.5 stars
Irish Vow: 2.5 stars
Book 1 was okay but this could have been a duet, the too long sex scenes and repetitive monologues could have been cut down. Nothing was happening in Book 2 and Ana's constant "i love alexandre" was annoying and Liam was too patient. Alexandre was like a pest in the last two books and now forever it seems.
Waited 3 books all to get a trash ending to Liam and Ana's story. I saw this happening since the first book but when Book 2 didnt give any hint, i was happy thinking the author will go a different route. Ana finds out she's pregnant and we never find out who the father is. Liam or Alexandre but its hinted that its most likely Alexandre's 🤮. I hate that. Liam went through so much all for him get a shitty ending like that with the past always constantly hanging over his head.
Also who on earth was team Alexandre?? He will be getting his own book and HEA though😑
I wouldn't mind Alexandre book even though it doesnt interest me if we found out who the father of the baby was so that Liam and Ana (preferably Liam) can have a clean slate and Alexandre can go have his HEA with a new love interest but nope. I couldn't really enjoy the book after that, really disappointed in this one😞

Oh the web we weave
This 3rd installment of the Irish Kings does not disappoint! We continue Liam & Ana’s story where she is now confronted about Liam’s arranged marriage and that her trouble in Paris has followed them to Boston. Ana is still torn between her feelings and she knows that Liam will do anything to protect but at what cost and can she live with their decisions without ruining each other? This book is actioned pack with secrets, lies, betrayal, love, lust, & an uncertain future that will define them all! It’s sad that we have a wait till Book 4 comes out but it will definitely be worth the wait. Another amazing addition to this series. What will come of the McGregor clan and will Liam remain King after all the dust settles? May cannot get here quick enough! Happy Reading!

Love triangle is not my favourite but here the best scenes are among them. Anna was broken young woman who has been healing . To choose and decide her true love and find her self was her main goal. In this book this struggle was clear when they faced their lies and pain . To be honest with yourself and sacrifice everything to have your love it was poetic here . Liam was like Romeo or other heroes in the famous romance books. Also this book is a smart beginning for next book . This book is well written it is emotional book . You will be engaged with each scene . Don't miss the final piece for Anna and Liam

Disappointed
Do Liam and Ana do anything other than have sex? Pages and pages and pages of sex. The same thing, ever after. I had to skim wide swaths of this one.
Ana is annoying in that she still has feelings for Alexandre. She can’t get to the conclusion that he’s a nut case and mentally unbalanced.
Liam is annoying. Lies by omission to Ana. Naive in his thinking over what the Kings will do to him.
Cat is annoying, telling Ana to give up the happiness she has found with Liam for the good of Viktor and Luca’s business deals.

Going against all odds
Betraying his brothers and still stands to be killed. He went against his vow to his arranged wife who he doesn't want to marry and his now to God that he signed that he would wed her. But Liam only has Ana on his mind and in his heart. He prays they don't find his brother or that HR wants to return. He will try and keep.his place.and get killed by his brothers.

Ugh wow. That was a hot mess express. I’m pretty disappointed with this ending for a lot of reasons. Mostly that Ana and Liam’s story was SO messy. Also so disappointed in Luca at the end. Just upsetting all around. There was very little to be happy about. I’m so uninterested in reading about Saoirse it’s not even funny. So I guess I won’t get a good ending to what happens.

LOVED IT !!
I had to read this installment slowly so I could savor it , I just didn’t want it to end !! What a love triangle Ana got herself into with Liam and Alexandre , so beautifully written. I can’t wait to read the next installment !!

Out of the entire series, this was my favourite book. I enjoyed reading how Ana slowly rebuilds herself, she is still a bit weak but I’m happy she is starting to choose for herself. Liam is my guy all around loyal and duty bound all around… I hope the child she Carrie’s is actually Liam’s.

Enjoyable Series
Liam and Ana’s story is sweet. I don’t think it was very dark. Victor and Carina’s story was so crazy but sooo good. I think it’s been my favorite of all the books.

It's not over yet!
Liam and Ana both have things that threaten to keep them from being together but if they stick together and fight they may come out on top. With everything that's happened so far I can't wait to read book ten to find out whether or not Liam's brother comes back.

🍀🔫 Irish Vow – Review 🔫🍀
⭐: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 3/5
This one had all the dark Irish mafia vibes I’ve been expecting from the series 🍀🔫 but it didn’t hit the same as the others.
The tension and stakes were there, and the world is still intense and gritty 🖤🔥
But Ana… 😩 I really struggled with her character the entire time.
She made it hard to stay invested, and honestly had me thinking about DNF’ing the whole series 😬
The MMC and overall plot kept me going, but it felt like a chore at times.
Overall, it’s not bad, just frustrating depending on how you feel about the FMC 🤷♀️

This entire book series, the story of Luca/Sofia & Caterina/Viktor, Liam & Ana series, is my favorite. I just finished book three & it is what I was expecting. I highly recommend it.
