An Indie Next Pick

A Library Reads Pick

Estranged exes must stick close together to save their best friend’s wedding after a string of disasters in this swoony and steamy second-chance romance from the USA Today bestselling author of You, with a View.

Georgia Woodward lives by her lists, none more so than the one about her ex, Eli Mora. It’s full of the ironclad dos and don’ts they’ve been following since she returned to the Bay Area after their cataclysmic breakup five years ago.

With the wedding of their mutual best friend, Adam, looming, and them about to step into their roles as best woman and man, Georgia’s never needed it more. She refuses to threaten their tight-knit friend group with her messy—and still very present—feelings. The rules on that list will keep her cool, calm, and compartmentalized.

What’s not on her list? Eli arriving from New York with a new rule-breaking attitude or the all-inclusive venue burning to the ground, leaving the bride and groom in dire straits. Nor does she anticipate Adam asking her and Eli to help him make a miracle happen. Together.

As Georgia and Eli rush up to Napa Valley to pull off the perfect wedding, their old chemistry comes back in technicolor. Somewhere between cake tastings gone wrong, disastrous DJ auditions, and Eli’s heated attention, Georgia starts recognizing the man she fell in love with before. And if she lets herself break her rules, she might find what they’re building isn’t the something old that ruined them—it’s a chance at something new.

Critic reviews

“Jessica Joyce is THE voice to watch in romance. Her sophomore novel is tender, emotional, and deeply romantic. I consumed this book with my heart in my throat. The banter, the setting, the achingly messy but wonderfully true characters—I could feel Jessica’s heartbeat on every page. It is absolutely one of my top reads of the year, if not my lifetime. Georgia and Eli happily occupy a corner of my heart.” —B.K. Borison, author of Lovelight Farms

“Depth, emotional angst balanced with perfectly sharp humor, and writing that will make your chest ache, The Ex Vows is a sweeping romance that I could not put down.”—Tarah DeWitt, author of The Co-op

The Ex Vows is a tangible reminder of the power of love and second chances. I laughed, I swooned, I cried—and I was grateful for every second of it. Jessica Joyce is a force to be reckoned with.”—Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate

MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK!!!

book review📖: the ex vows by jessica joyce

Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️
Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️
Audio narrator: Kyla Garcia
• Kyla’s performance in this book is outstanding. I was captivated every moment, and she deserves ALL of the awards.🏆🏆🏆

• Summary:
Eli Mora is Georgia’s ex boyfriend, ex best friend, ex everything, and five years apart hasn’t dulled the ache of their cataclysmic split. But for the sake of their mutual best friend Adam and his upcoming wedding, Georgia is determined lock those feelings away, and be the best best woman her friend deserves. Even if it means teaming up with the one man who has always been the key to her broken heart.

• My thoughts:
This book broke me and then put me back together❤️ It is so beautifully written, and perfectly weaves together the crush of heart break, the comfort of friendship, and a love so deep you can’t help but follow the tether leading you back to your other half you once thought was lost. Our FMC Georgia struggles with fear of abandonment left over from childhood trauma. This fear leads her to smother her own desires and prioritize the wants and needs of those she’s desperate to hold on to. Our MMC Eli arrives at the wedding week as a new man, so different than the workaholic Georgia once knew and lost. The connection between Georgia and Eli is palpable, and I loved the magnetic draw the two had for each other. They had such a beautiful blend of friendship, comfort, and passion. Eli has exceeded ANY AND ALL expectations for any book boyfriend in history. Straight to Mt Rushmore with him. Then there is the spice. The spice in this book is POETIC. It is gorgeously romantic with an edge of “make it messy.”

Truthfully I CANNOT say enough good things about this book, and it will be a story I will come back to many times. There are a few books I cherish (ACOMAF and the Seven Year Slip come to mind) and this book is now very much one of my all time favorites.

This book eeded an editor

The first half felt super repetitive and the story was going in circles. It got a little better towards the end.

Dreamy & Real

I want a love like this in real life, this story was so sweet and soft but also real and raw but most importantly relatable. The Ex Vows is the only way a second chance romance works. I will forever be a Jessica Joyce fan.

This was so warm and lovely

What a wonderful second chance romance! I'm very picky when it comes to contemporary romances but I really, really liked this one. It was tender and sweet and sexy as well.

FANTASTIC

One of my favorite titles of the year. If this one doesn't have you blubbering happy tears at the end...Absolutely INCREDIBLE. I will read anything that Jessica Joyce writes, including her grocery list.
