4.4 out of 5 stars 1,194 ratings
Dearly beloved, is how it begins. What God has joined together, let no man put asunder; is how it ends. Happily married, wedded bliss with these rings, we do take; But what happens to happily ever after, when the vows break?

Shelby, Raylan, Chloe, Lynesha, Kerri and Camille have been friends since freshmen year of high school. They’ve endured college, failed relationships, deaths and sickness together. They've watched each other grow and become business leaders and owners, wives and mothers. They've survived when most people say, women can't be friends.

Then, all hell breaks loose in each of their marriages. Secrets, lying, cheating, drugs, alcohol, and temptations prove that not everything is what it seems. Will the chaos of it all be more than they can take? Find out in part 1 of When the Vows Break

    Review:
    "When the Vows Break" by Lakisha Johnson

    My Opinion:

    This was quite a real story that you had to keep up with to understand what was going on for six best friends truly...Camille, Shelby, Raylan, Chloe, Kerri, and Lynesha. I will also say that each of these characters had their significant other from Thomas, Brian, Justin, Chris, Michael, and Paul. The story will have a little bit of it all from 'homosexuality, adultery, careers, cheating, lies, secrets, deceit, drama, unfaithfulness, flirtation, fakery that one may not expect from so-called friends, but believe me. It can happen. What I wondered about as I was reading this novel how could this happen to these well-educated friends? Even some Christianity was brought in, but I am not sure it was enough to help in these ladies' situations.

    Well, to find out, all that is left to say is that you will have to pick up "When the Vows Break" so see how this author will bring it all out; however, be ready to need to purchase part two to get the next part of the story. I will say you will have to stay with the story[I had to keep notes] because the connection is spread among all six of the characters with lots of twists and turns that will give the reader quite an interesting read to the end, leaving one wanting more.

    I really enjoyed this book and all the drama that it involved. I had a hard time keeping the names of the friends and husbands straight, but the book flowed so well that there wasn't much guess work in it. I feel sorry for these women that are dealing with many different issues. Real life issues. I can't wait to read book 2!

    I have always liked Lakisha Johnson’s work and although this book has a lot of characters, I got to say it was drama filled and a quick good read. I’m looking forward to reading the next two books in the series. I really can see the evolution in her writing and I definitely recommend it. It really was filled with a lot of every day drama. If nothing else you will learn that you have to work at marriage if you want it to work. Kudos, Ms. Johnson as usual your brought the heat.

    Happy Reading,

    At first its hard to keep up with the lives of six characters but once you do its non-stop drama. To be honest I wouldn't recommend an immature Christian to read this because of the explicit material but its a great story. Miss Johnson is really making noise in this genre!
