Title: Promise Me Not
Series: Boys of Avix
Author: Meagan Brandy
Release Date: October 01
She lost her first love.
I'd give it all to be her second...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had one dream.
Go to college with my best friends, earn a starting position on a division one team, and hear my name announced to the world come draft day.
The path was clear, and things were falling in place perfectly.
Until she showed up.
I never meant to fall for my friend’s little sister and by the time I realized I had, it was too late.
I am a man in love with a girl … who is in love with someone else.
But I can’t compete with a ghost, and her heart was buried along side the boy she gave it to. The father of her unborn son.
Instead of fighting for something she’s unable to give, I do my best to be her friend, but then her little man comes along, and changes everything.
She says I should walk away, focus on my love for football, but I can’t, because what she doesn’t understand is I have a new dream now.
One that begins and ends with them.

Oohhh my flipping gawds!
Promise Me Not was one of my most anticipated reads of the entire year, and is book two in Boys of Avix series - following Payton (who you meet in Defenseless Hearts) and Mason (who you meet in Fumbled Hearts). And let me just tell you ... You aren't ready!
Payton may have lost her first love, but Mason will give ANYTHING to be her second. Payton is trying to navigate her new life of being a young mother, and trying to hold herself together. Her life was irrevocably changed when she ran away from home, pregnant at sixteen. She was young, scared, and had no idea what she was going to do.
Mason only ever had one dream in life - to go to college with his best friends, and get a starting position in football. But the moment he laid eyes on Payton that dream changed. And Mason falls in love with someone who is in love with someone else. Someone he can never compete with. She was strong, brave, and beautiful, and Mason never had a chance against her. But how can Mason compete with the ghost of the father of Payton's unborn son?
So like I said, this has been one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I absolutely couldn't wait to dive in to Payton and Mason's story. And when I say you aren't ready, I mean it. This is an emotional angst filled book, filled with love, heartbreak, grief, sweetness and hope. This book had me crying over Payton and Mason's story, but not able to put it down. Their story was heartbreaking, and beautiful and so much more, and I loved every second of it. If you loved the emotional rollercoaster of Say You Swear, buckle up because Mason and Payton's story bribgs you through the ringer, but I didn't want it to end. If you love angst filled sports romances you are not going to want to miss this!
