Reviews
URGENT VOWS is Lucy Monroe’s first mafia book and wow did she get it right. … would give a fair warning to readers – when you pick up URGENT VOWS do so when you have time to read it. Though I guess in this case sleep is so overrated. In fact, when I finished, I wanted to turn around and read it again! Great job Ms. Lucy Monroe – and please bring us more. – Fresh Fiction Reviews
