It was a modern take on an arranged marriage that was supposed to lead to my happily ever after. The rules were simple:

1. Marry a complete stranger chosen for you by professionals.

2. Live together as man and wife for eight weeks while cameras record your every move.

3. Make a decision to stay together or get a divorce.

Call me crazy, but I had complete faith in the process, until I saw who was waiting for me at the end of the aisle.

Austin James has never met me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know him. With no other choice, I say my vows and pray I can make it through the next eight weeks. Then I’ll leave. What connects us is my best kept secret, and I’ll protect it at all costs even if that means walking away from the only person I’ve ever cared about.

Hopeless Vow was definitely not what I was expecting. Arranged marriage, reality TV show, 2 strangers, secrets, lies, truth and love...this book had it all. I loved the mystery surrounding Jillian, the relationship between this couple is pretty amazing for only having just met and Austin is sure to make you swoon!

Austin and Jillian are thrown together taking part in a reality TV show that sees them get married and stay together for a period of time. This couple have chemistry but Jillian has a big secret, one that could crush them both if it was ever to be revealed.

With feelings coming into play for the both of them and Austin opening up on a deeper level, we can clearly see that Jillian holds alot of guilt but why?

Will this couple go there separate ways at the end of the show?

Can Austin break down Jillian's walls? Will Jillian ever tell what is weighing heavy on her mind?

The longer this experiment goes on, the more I fall for him, and the more the deceit eats at me. When I lie awake some nights, it crawls up my body, tickling my skin, reminding me that underneath, I’m a horrible human being. Deceitful. Cowardly. Manipulative. Selfish. All negative adjectives, and all describe me. He’ll never find out, taunts an inner voice. What’s worse is that it also tells me it’s okay to keep this from him. That the two of us can live out this fantasy unscathed and content. As delusional as my inner voice is, I find myself clinging to it like a leech, feasting on the lie.
