There is so much going on in this book, I hardly know where to begin! There are twists and turns galore, heartbreak, reunions, surprises and the chance at unconditional love and redemption for several characters. I enjoyed this book very much, and the characters are amazing; complex, realistic, and so real they grip your heart until the very end.
This is a twisted, intriguing, suspenseful and romantic story. Colt has been in love with Kate for more than 13 years, 12 of which he thought she was dead. Kate has been running from Colt, believing that she was incapable of feeling love, for him or anyone. Colt is bold, determined, caring, charming and gentle. Kate is stubborn, tough, insecure and impulsive. When Colt’s boss introduces two children he wants Colt to care for, Colt is floored, because the little girl could be Kate when she was young. He gets irate and hurt, thinking that Kate had children and didn’t tell anybody, and didn’t keep. Kate is more than a bit shocked when she sees them, not understanding how the girl can look exactly like her when she never had children. Kate, her siblings and these children are special though, they have super abilities that they were engineered to have and they were all trained to be killers. The children’s father is obsessed with Kate and wants her, the crazy that made Kate and the others wants Kate and her daughter and an American agency would like to have Kate and her daughter under their thumb. There’s so much drama going on that it’s impossible to not get drawn in. It’s a creepy, heartwarming and thrilling book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hidden Gems. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
Unexpected Vows is the first book that I have read by Victoria Paige and its so good. I was consumed with this, time flew by and I was absorbed in this story. A must read for all book lovers.
Kate became a bounty hunter after the death of her sister Piper and with her partner Frances they bring in the bad guys. But the past haunts her and she can’t let her guard down and so she tries to not feel anything and while her family want her to stay around and be close she just can’t seem to do it. Trent Stone her sister Cassie’s husband wants her to be close to them and yet she just can’t bring herself to do it. This book is good and intense the hurt in her past is really keeping her from truly living but, this worth reading if you like book that takes you through so much but leaves you wanting more.
I love this entire series. This one didn’t disappoint, either. A great continuation with strong characters and real emotions.
Kate & Colt’s story has been eluded to in the other books of this series. It was great to see it come to fruition. I love Colt’s determination to do anything to get his woman!! Great story with a twist I never saw coming. A fantastic series, can’t wait to read more.
So if you’ve read the other books, you know how much Colt was in love with Kate. He’s had it bad for her. This is finally their story and it was good.. A little weird but it works.
It scares me a little, with what goes thru this author’s mind as she’s writing these books. I mean, half the stuff that I’m sure was important went right over my head and the twist I didn’t see coming but I’m not sure if it was really necessary. I mean it did stop an important moment in the book but it didn’t feel right to me. I know it’s fiction but some of it felt a bit to far fetched to me. Colt and Kate have chemistry but it’s basically a forced together to save her life kinda thing. I don’t know, maybe it just wasn’t for me.
Another epic story by Victoria Paige. Unexpected vows blew me away.
A real rollercoaster ride with twists and turns that keep you guessing.
If you have not read any of Victoria Paige books it would be a good idea to start now. All her books to date that I have read have been all worth 5 star ratings.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Unexpected Vows by Victoria Paige BLEW ME AWAY and She is a New Author for me!! TOTALLY not what I was expecting when I started and definitely enjoyed this Suspenseful thriller of Epic proportions! It was Such an amazing ROLLER COASTER ride of TWISTS AND TURNS INTO the UNKNOWN!
Kate Foster is a bounty hunter and someone who is not ready for a relationship after blaming herself for the death of her sister Piper. She is pulling away from her remaining siblings and from Colt Montgomery who always seems to be around her.
Colt Montgomery is a former Navy Seal and is now working for Task Force Shadow Track while running his ranch. He has believed that Kate has been dead for the last twelve years and now he doesn’t want to let her go.
When Admiral Porter arrives at the Ranch with twins, both Colt and Kate need to make choices not only for themselves but for them as well. Soon they realize that they may be closer to danger than they could have believed and how far will Colt go to protect Kate?
This is such a good series and I am really enjoying each new book that comes out!
I love Colt and seriously want a real life version of him for myself!! I have liked him since the series started but this book was his to completely out shine everyone!! He is pure alpha but at the same time he is very caring and was so good to Olivia and Josh. He was so protective of Kate and he knew what he wanted from her and really didn’t want to settle for less than that.
Kate was so complex as she was broken from the past and had so much guilt from what happened with Piper. She felt like she didn’t deserve love so she pushed Colt away. Yet when she found about the twins she had to step up and allow herself to love and be loved in return.
I loved the mystery with the mass killings and how everything tied in to the past.
I liked how Kate realized she had to do what she needed to do to protect the kids and therefore let Colt take the lead with certain things.
The end was so full of tension and I was freaking out a little although I knew the author wouldn’t let me down!!
Such a great series and I hope more books are coming!
Unexpected Vows was my favorite book out of the prior two books in this series. It was a page turner and kept me at the edge of my seat. It even made me tear up closer to the end. I loved the main characters and the story in a whole. Colt finally got the woman of his dreams. He got much more then Kate. Kate and Colt got a big surprise early on in the story. They both took on the role of parenthood like pro’s. I enjoyed the suspense factor and learning what Kate endured during the period of time when she was in Chrysalis. I love that this series ends with Kate’s story. Kate fell in love with her handsome Cowboy early on. She stayed away to protect him from the pain of losing her. I loved that in the end Alek terminated his rights to the children. It allowed Colt to adopt Olivia & Josh. He finally got the family he always dreamed of. I will look forward to reading more by this author in the near future.
This book is a romance, sci fi, thriller amalgamation of a book. Romance, sweet heat of sex twists and turns, characters to love and respect, characters who are stubborn, short sighted and wilfull, scary government types with agendas, you will either love or hate the overtones of big brother. I loved the layers of the story, the unexpected. Recommended.
I really enjoyed this book. An enhanced super soldier who is a kick butt woman? Count me in. Colt was also all kinds of yummy. I just now go back and read the other books in the series.
This author really knows how to get you right into her books. The main character Kate was grieving her sisters death and trying to live a Solitude life. She was determined to resist the handsome Rancher/ Seal Colt. Colt had his only story and he was going to get Kate to be his no matter what. Great story with twists you didn’t see coming. Great book.
This is book 3 in the Misty Grove series. You don’t have tonread the other stories but they do help with the back story. This is about Kate and Colt. She feels broken and doesn’t want her family to see. Kate is trying to find herself so she takes a job as a bounty hunter. Colt just wants Kate. He fell for her when he meet her. Then thought she was gone. When she needed him he was there even if she didn’t need it. Sparks start flying when Kate starts to open up. This series keeps getting better and better.
I’ve been wondering what would become of Kate and Colt through the series. His feeling for her were palpable. This book just intensified them and showed us their chemistry. The kid twist and their abilities made it interesting. I was keep guessing the whole time. Another win!
Unexpected Vows is book 3 in the Misty Grove series by Victoria Paige. This is Colt and Kate’s story that is full of twist and turns with lots of surprises. This book is well written and I must add that this author has an awesome imagination.
This was an ok book, but for some reason I just wasn’t captivated by it. The writing style left me a little cold, and I didn’t find myself drawn to any of the characters. Certainly a good story, and I’ve no doubt many people would enjoy it, but unfortunately it just didn’t grab me.
Kat Foster —- after all she has endured in her past she vows to live a life of solitude
Colt Montgomery —- has always loved Kat and vows not to give up on her.
This book has so much action, romance, angst and surprises. It will keep you reading from page one. From the first two books you know a little about Kat and Colt’s past but there is so much more to be told. What Kat has to endure was unthinkable and what the company has been doing is unthinkable. Bring in children and it turns into a wild ride.
This book was just the right amount of romance and action. Throw in suspense, surprises, mass destruction, secrets and obsessions you get a page turning read.
Kate is back in her families lives but likes to keep her distance as she still doesn’t feel right about everything and making it harder is Colt who keeps hovering near her and has loved her for a long time but she has never reciprocated. Just when she was getting into her bounty hunting work she is pulled back to the ranch and her family as well as finds out a shocking secret kept from her which will change her life forever. The fact that Kate is loveable at times and snippy other times makes you really get that she is really torn with what she wants and what she thinks she deserves and I love Colt’s determination for her to see he really means how he feels and she does deserve a happy ever after. There are plenty of rad blocks and twists that they have to get through but it will be well worth it and I just love the latest 2 additions to Misty Groves, everyone will fall in love with those munchkins! <3
