Review: Say You Swear (reread)

 


Title: Say You Swear (bloom edition) 

Series: Boys of Avix

Author: Meagan Brandy 

Release Date: March 26, 2024



A College Romance...


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.

Oh my goodness! 

So I decided to reread Say You Swear when I got the bloom edition in - because I love this story (& wanted to read the bonus scene that is included in the bloom edition paperback). 

And I still love this story. 

It follows Ari, going to her first year of college, and navigating between friendships, first loves, and first heartbreaks. It is an amazing story, that still brings out sooo much emotion. And Noah Riley is book husband material. 

This book will break you & stitch you back together again. 

If you love college romances, and emotional angsty reads, you will love this book! 

5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
