Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy

 

Say You Swear
Meagan Brandy
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Blurb: 
If she isn't mine in the end, I'll still be hers. It's torture, but it's true... From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes a new, angsty standalone romance about love, loss, and the path to forgiveness. For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. It led me to him. My future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly ... he wasn't. Now I'm a shell of who I was, on a path too blurry to follow, and I see no way out. No way up. They say first loves last forever. That's exactly what I'm afraid of... ___ This is a 152k word standalone romance full of angst that is sure to pack a punch!


This review is going to be a little harder to write b/c you really need to go into this book blind. You do NOT need to know who the guy is until you read. That's just all there is to it. If you do know ahead of time, the whole experience is going to be ruined. So with that said, here's what I have.

Say You Swear really is a phenomenal book. It is a standalone but there are some characters from Meagan's other book that show up. You don't have to know their story to enjoy this one. I can tell you that Arianna is our female lead. I really like Ari. Part of the experience of this book is how we get to grow with Ari. She, her twin brother Mason and her close, tight knit, group of friends have been together forever. Now it's time to go to college and everything is changing. It's a very real, very emotional journey of growth. 

So I can also tell you that this book has one of the most absolutely perfect, swoon worthy, panty and heart melting men you will probably ever read. That's really all I can say about that. Sorry.

This book will take you through the wringer for sure. It is going to make you laugh, make you cry, make you want to scream. It's a big ass book and it is full of angst like you wouldn't believe. Meagan throws everything at you in this book. 

Now I will say there is a certain thing that happened in this book that I usually hate. I don't think I've ever mentioned it before in my reviews so it's not the back and forth, past to present thing that I'm usually talking about. This is just one of those things that you see it coming and I'm like, no. NO! Please don't go there with that. And she did. She went there. For a second, I thought all was lost and I was going to be ruined and the rest of the book would just be wasted. But it wasn't. It wasn't a mood killer or make me want to stop reading moment. It was a heart ripping moment for sure. Anyway, my point is, if you happen to hear something about this book that you think normally fits in your 'I don't like it' category, you should still give it a chance. I did and I don't regret it at all. I will say that I have seen so many people talk about this book bringing them to tears. It is absolutely gut wrenching in places but I did refrain from crying. 

Bottom line, this is a beautifully written story that will take you through every single emotion that is possible.

Kingdom Fall, A Zavarelli

  Kingdom Fall, (Underworld Kings) A Zavarelli ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: I was a nanny in need of a job. He was darkness personified. I had little to call my own. He was filthy rich, powerful, and dangerous. The assignment was simple, and my goal was too. Take care of his son. Keep my head down. When he least expects it, destroy him. It should have been easy. I thought it would be until I looked into his stark blue eyes. Kissing the enemy is a bad idea, but so is falling in love with him. He doesn’t know my crumbling foundation is built on lies. When he discovers the truth, I’ll find out if he’s as brutal as I believe. I came here to steal his life. I didn’t count on him stealing my heart. Kingdom Fall is part of the Underworld Kings series. If you read the Society Trilogy then you already know a little about the world this series is set in but you don't have to read that trilogy to read this book. In this book we have Alessio and Natalia. Alessio is a Sovereign Son in IVI....

Taking a Break

  Taking a break Hello! I randomly decided to come on here today and it looks like someone actually does visit this site on occasion. I feel like I owe it to you to let you know that I won't be posting any new reviews for a while. I've been really burnt out on reading for a while now and while I do still read every now and again, I just don't have the same passion about it. When I write a review for the blog, I feel it has to be more in depth and informative and I just don't have that in me right now. Also, the book world just disappoints me sometimes and I don't feel like I'm in the head space to give it my all. Anywho, if you are reading this, thank you for being around and supporting me for however long you've been here. I appreciate you. Maybe one day I will get back into it and start reading and reviewing again. In the meantime, I do still review the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads .
