Morgan Breaks a Vow
Morgan made a vow to herself a long time ago: never fall in love, ever. Her best friend, April, thinks it’s ludicrous, the girl who thinks love is the most beautiful thing in the world. While on vacation in Jamaica to get over her writer’s block, she has a one night stand with a woman she thinks she’ll never see again. But when she learns that that one night stand is none other than Leigh, April’s fiancé’s sister, Morgan does everything she can to not be anywhere near this woman, but it’s unavoidable since she’s the maid of honor and Leigh is the best woman to the groom. They end up having to work closely together which creates some friction, but when they end up having to share a room in the Virgin Islands for the wedding, will that spark from Jamaica be reignited and Morgan gives love a chance, or will she stick to her vow?

Morgan
The name is the foremost comment on a dire and drastic arrangement for a situation unexpressed. It reigns supreme. Nobody says a thing, and nobody ever complains there is someone there. It is not allowed to explain itself, either. This latest acknowledged work of fiction, Morgan Breaks a Vow, sits waiting to be embraced as such interlopers in song and film Stacy Beatriz's Family Madrigal and Encanto, even. Where's the tune?

The paced is too fast. There is little to no character development. One thing that kept me from giving 3 stars or even up is the main relationship.
There were too many red flags from Leighs and it was getting harder to get through it. She didn’t respect Morgan at all and it was hard to get through.

Dnf at 60% and sadly, the smut didn’t save it. I’m not going to read a romance where the mc walks in on the other having a threesome unless an author can actually make me want these characters together, I couldn’t care less about these two. I really didn’t like the authors writing style and probably won’t pick up anything else

Morgan Breaks a Vow: A Lesbian Romance (Skin So Soft Book 1)
I have to say that this book was deeply touching in a lot of ways. Morgan was struggling because she wanted love and acceptance from her mother. I can’t relate to this in a way coming from a religious background myself where my family did not tolerate me being a person who loved women. I think at a time in your life, you have to make peace with people who are moving on. Forgive and be free, the author was very open about her struggles with her mother and her, not accepting her. I feel that this was beautiful because she was vulnerable about her struggles. I think sometimes it can be scary when you tell the truth or the struggles that you have been through in your life. I have to say that my birthday last year, in May, when I was the first time, I felt at peace, at peace with who I am and I was at peace with who my family is not. I have found love and a family. I am no longer seeking the validation of people at the end of the day. The one thing that I realize is that God is love. There is no hatred in him and so, sadly, people take this to cause people pain and make them feel shame, but that was never what God really wanted. In my opinion, he wanted us to love one another, and not to judge. The sad part about this life is that we all have come to a place of self-love. At the end of the story, the author put in a few diary entries and they were touching and you see the struggle in the pain that was caused. Just because someone has your blood does not mean they have your back. We have to remember that we can have our own families allow the people around you that really care about you and your mental health and your well-being to surround you just because someone has your last name does not mean they deserve access to you. Your mental health should be a priority. I love the fact that she said choose yourself. I think we are in a queer community. You have to come to that point. I highly recommend this book. It is truly thought-provoking and at times I know we can all relate to feeling this way through someone in our lives. If you have not, you are truly one of the lucky five stars. Healed and whole the best part of making peace.

Morgan Breaks a Vow gave us drama, secrets, and a messy kind of love that kept me turning the pages—even when I was side-eyeing every character involved. M.L. Sexton knows how to write tension, and this book had plenty of it. From broken promises to blurred boundaries, the plot never lacked conflict.
That said, while I appreciated the emotional intensity and the "how did we even get here?" moments, some parts felt a little rushed or underdeveloped. I wanted more time with the characters' growth—especially after the vow was broken. Whew, Morgan! Sometimes I wanted to shake her, sometimes I wanted to hug her, but she always kept it interesting.
The chemistry? Definitely there. But I craved a bit more depth in the aftermath. It gave the drama, but not always the resolution I hoped for.
Still, if you're into complicated love stories that walk the line between right and wrong, this one might hit for you. It was a solid read that gave just enough to keep me invested—but didn’t fully deliver the emotional payoff I wanted.

To begin, there is A LOT of sex, so if you don't love that, scoot on by. The sex was hot, without I was skipping through it by the end because there was so much of it. This is insta lust, and the chemistry is pretty amazing.
I loved the energy of the writing, and the settings are written beautifully, totally transport you.
I loved Morgan but... She was struggling with so much trauma. I hated how much pain she went through and was still going through. It colored every single interaction she had with Leigh, from the very beginning. It was painful to see.
I liked Leigh a lot. Kudos to women getting the sex they want! Heck yeah! That being said... If I like a person, to the point where I have been actively trying to get into a relationship with them, jumping into a threesome right after some serious emotional stuff a week ago (at a party they were at no less).... I don't know that I would have any interest in my crush if I walked in on them in that situation.

💙ARC REVIEW💙
I honestly went in blind, didn’t read the description of this and if you have no triggers I suggest doing the same! There were lots of surprises! Especially the spice in the prologue! 😂 but I will say the spice is good! I’d rate it a 3.5/5 because there was more than a handful of scenes! It is a Quick F*** Slow Burn though! Meaning we get spice quickly but the relationship takes time! It was an emotional read for sure! The FMC is trying to find herself and accept her sexuality. The love interest is such a good supporter! The dad was one of my favorite parts! His unconditional love and support made me emotional! The mom on the other hand?!! Can go right to H*ll!
TW ahead!

"I can't stand to be around you and not be able to touch you, kiss you, hold you, flirt with you, and make you c%me."
When you never Been shown love from someone who should love you the most, it hard to recognize it when it is in your face. This books shows you what love is between two black women. Morgan who doesn't believe and Leigh who wants to love her. I enjoy books where communication between adults is present and handled in w a way where it is proven it works. I enjoyed this book, I wanted Morgan to find love.

2 stars. Didn’t like Morgan or Leigh at all. I empathized with Morgan and the struggle of a relationship she had with her mother. That was sad but other than that I didn’t enjoy this. Morgan was so unlikable and Leigh had issues with respecting Morgan’s boundaries. The writing was fine and I liked some of the side characters but overall this wasn’t all that great.

A beautiful story.
I didn’t expect to cry when I started reading this book, yet here I am sobbing. There’s so much I could relate to in this story and reading it made me very hopeful for the future. If I could give this 10 stars, I would!

Short and quick but great book showing that love can heal.

Such a weird writing style, things just happen and seem to be just listed. No anticipation is built. The characters don’t seem intriguing at all. Couldn’t finish the book

Short and spicy with lots of good stuff about therapy and facing your issues.

Morgan and Kharleigh meet on vacation and sparks fly. But Morgan is struggling with her identity and a mother who doesn't accept it. Her heart is closed for business... or so she thinks.
Morgan's struggles really wrenched at my heart. Oh I felt so bad for her, wanting love and acceptance and not receiving it from the one person you expect. But I'm glad she had the rest of her family to back her up. Leigh applying the pressure but trying to be gentle was a nice, realistic, plot point. We're don't always get it right when we want what we want so badly. But she was open to correction.
I did think that Leigh getting caught up in that threesome (in someone else's house at that) was a bit dramatic, as was the story of her parent's pretense. That's a long time to pretend and it felt weird for me. But overall, Morgan got the love she always wanted, and lost that need for validation and that was sweet. Nice job.

sexy, sultry and sweet as hell
This book was a pleasant surprise. It’s filled with spicy , steamy scenes and was a very quick and easy read. It touched on many real life issues without being to wordy and the characters felt real and relatable. 10/10 highly recommend

2 ⭐️- listened to the audio version on audible, and it was done with virtual voice narration. I wonder if I would’ve rated this story higher had I read a physical copy or ebook instead. You could definitely tell it was computer generated which made some parts feel awkward.
Either way, the relationship between Morgan and Lee felt rushed with little character development. The spice was decent. I liked that they talked about therapy and healing. I wanted to like this story more than I did. It was cute but just not for me.

Cute lesbian romance!
This was a really easy, feel good romance. I loved the confidence that Leigh displayed in her quest to love Morgan. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop, and it did...in a good way.
Looking forward to book 2 of this indie love story!

love supportive dads!
I don’t remember the last time I’ve read a book with multiple incredibly supportive dads of the queer MCs and it was really lovely to read.
