Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have?

Another tragedy, that’s what.

When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life.
Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have.

In a lot of ways, I did have her…
I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams. I had her heart so woven in with mine, I didn’t know where she ended, and I began.

Only, as the years pressed on, lines became blurred—and the blurrier the line, the easier it is to cross.

They say tragedy comes in threes.
For me, that was true.
The first one changed me, the second one broke me, and the third one healed me.

But at the center of all that tragedy… there is a love story.

And at the center of that love story,

There is June.

My Review

Oh! To try to sum up this beautiful book is impossible. Words would fail me to fully capture the full range of emotions I went through while reading this book. This particular genre, if you will, the forbidden/taboo is one of my favorites. But in typical fashion this author, Ms. Hartmann goes so much beyond the realm of what we have come to expect to see from a typical novel in this genre. Brant and June have a story that is astoundingly unique, tragic yet phenomenal, and unforgettably wonderful.

It’s about the power of a love so big and inevitable it can heal even the most tragically wounded of hearts. It is one of those books that can and will stay with you long after you close the last page. This is the kind of story that burrows its way into your heart and soul and leaves a little piece of itself there forever. That is all I am going to say because just like I did YOU should also go in blind. Get ready for the most REMARKABLE book hangover ever!! This book deserves ALL THE STARS!!

Say You Swear Release Blitz & Review

Release Date: February 18

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.

My Review

Oh my Holy Heartbreak and then Heartmending!! This book y’all! This freaking book will definitely be one of my top reads of 2022. It was phenomenal. Each exquisitely  thought out and executed detail captivated me. While this book was a slow burn I was entranced from the very beginning. Just the mere premise had me hooked and I was quickly wondering just how angsty was this ride that Meagan Brandy was about to take me on going to be. The answer… more angsty than I could have imagined, in all the best I want to pull my own hair out and toss my kindle across the room, kind of ways! 

This story is Ari’s journey. Her quest to her HEA. One we are most definitely wondering if she will ever actually see. It’s very much a coming into your own, beautiful yet gut wrenching journey of self discovery. I love Ari. I love the transformation of her character as a result of her experiences. Oh how I cried for her. I cheered for her, I hoped for her, celebrated for her and was broken right along with her. But even in the most devastating part of her journey I felt despair right along with her. I know for her to end up where she did it was all necessary to her story and I’m so grateful for that experience. I would never trade the feelings you get from a deep, cleansing therapeutic cry. The kind that comes from a book that fits you before it puts you back together. *insert sigh of complete contentment* 

Now, I will not name the H, but I will say he is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MB HERO EVER!! And let’s be honest she has some absolutely amazing guys to choose from. If I walked into “Build-A-Book-Boyfriend” today and made him for myself I would have picked everything Meagan had going for him, but then she had more that I didn’t even know were options. He’s perfection personified!! He’s gorgeous, talented, caring, sweet, swoony, and loyal in such an unselfish way to the extent I have never seen. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. 

He is EVERYTHING

If you love angst. If you love new adult, sports romance and drama. If you are as obsessed as me with amazing secondary characters and a story that sticks with you long after you shut the pages, I urge you to read this. Will you read this? “Say you Swear”
