Honor

Vows #2

by Sherryl Woods

Kevin Halloran had defied his lofty family tradition in order to wed lower-class Lacey Granger—and he'd been a better man for it. Surely, then, there was no dragon he couldn't slay to honor and protect his beloved bride. Yet time and tide proved unstoppable... and youthful passion was eclipsed by doubt. Worse, white knight Kevin took a near-mortal blow. Would Lacey be able to slay the dragon of time so that this fallen knight would rise again?

About the author

With two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she's lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.

"The friends are the only things I've brought with me through the years that really matter," she says. "I could probably live without one more chintz teacup, another tin-litho sandpail or another snowglobe, but I need those friends."

The theme of enduring friendships and families is always central to Sherryl's books, including her latest Chesapeake Shores series — THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, FLOWERS ON MAIN and HARBOR LIGHTS.

Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.

A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.

Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.

In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.

When she's not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she's not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she's never set foot on a stage, and she's way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who's ever seen Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham" can understand why.

I just couldn't stand the main characters in this book - but mainly Lacey. Kevin nailed it when he told her multiple times that she was immature and needed to grow up. She's upset with her husband because he changed - they met when they were 11 and are now 48 so of course they've changed! And she's too immature to have an adult conversation with her husband and instead just moves out on him and their marriage. Even though I knew it wouldn't happen I was pulling for Kevin to dump Lacey and find someone who would love and support him. Terrible story.

Keeping and restocking an empty nest.

There needs to be more stories like this one involving mature adults.
We have ups and downs, thrills and despair, joy and sorrow; just like the rest of the world. We feel every bit as much as the 20 and 30 somethings that fill our culture and media. They need to know and be reassured there is more than just the next five or ten years and a handful of dreams.

Ok, I will admit it. It's not the type of book I would generally give 4 stars too. This book was soooo cheesy but I liked it. Basically, it's about a couple who had lost a sense of who they were as individuals and their work at rediscovering themselves and their marriage.

I hope this series continues forever, again I skipped a few parts but I love the book!

[Lynda · Rating 1 out of 5]

I did not care for this book. It was too much back and forth between these two. The ending was very disappointing.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Vow Series by Sherryl Woods. I love when authors bring out their backlist titles that they published before they were famous. I enjoyed spending time with the Halloran family and the poor guys, never knew what hit them! The series order is: Love, Honor, Cherish, Kate's Vow, A Daring Vow and A Vow to Love.

Woods Magic

Have read many many of Wood's works but this is the first time I've ever seen this depth of insight. Gives me foundation to analyze my own life situations. She has accomplished more than
just writing another book.

I will just say it was ok.

Normally I love Woods but

This story was hard to get wrapped up in. Maybe it was my focus or maybe the story didn't grab me like normal.
