When three best friends come together for their sorority sister's tony wedding on New Year's Eve, they make a vow at the stroke of midnight to get married within one year. As the three women embark on their search to find their soul mates, they navigate the full-contact sport known as being a SSBFDLA (successful, single, black, female dating in L.A.) and negotiate the shark-infested waters of making a name for themselves in Hollywood. Can Trista, the hyper-driven celebrity agent, find the time to schedule a meaningful romance? Will Amaya, the sexy starlet, convince the married hip hop-label exec she has been seeing to leave his wife and slip a ring on her finger or will the NBA star steal her heart in the final seconds? After undergoing a complete makeover, will Vivian, the jaded gossip columnist, win back the father of her child? Set against the seductive backdrop of money, power, and sex, The Vow follows these women as they discover that their desire to find a husband isn't as important as finding themselves.
I loved this book. When I first picked it up I wasn't expecting much, so it took me a while to get around the reading it, but I'm so glad I did. This book was well written with lots of drama amoung the four wild and crazy friends. I was expecting not to like the male characters but I admit the men were admirable and respectable, with a few trifling moments thrown in for good measure. The original cover is better. If you can get past the cover the story inside is delightful and very entertaining
Wonderful!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was nice to read about three African American women trying to find love. They remind me of me and my friends and some of the challenges that we have faced. A must read for 30-something crowd.

I just finished read "The Vow" , I loved the format of the book, how it introduced you to the characters and their lives. I found the book unpredictable and could not put it down. Being an African American I enjoy reading books with African American characters. I comment this authors for writing a captivating book.
A Definite Read!

This book was amazing, from almost page one I was hooked and didn't want to put it down! I'm hoping they branch off with at least one book per main character: Amaya, Trista, and Vivian so that we can find out where they go in life past "The Vow." Get it, read it, you'll love it!
