Holy smokes...Royce's book is perfection!! After all the torture, the wait is over and we have his book, and yeah I'm gonna say it, the author saved the best for last, and that's very hard to say since I have loved this entire series. Brielle is the perfect have for Royce, from the word "go" she gave as good as she got, and in short it was perfection. The world, even though we have seen it the whole way through, still continues to evolve and the character as with anyone developed new aspects.
The epilogue is sweeeeettt and the perfect cherry on top. This story is told in dual pov, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Just when you think you have Royce pegged, he's like "hold my beer, watch this" and he detroys us all. Don't be a fool, pick this series up and get to reading, and get ready for Royce.

Meagan has saved the best for last, delivering a perfect ending to the series that has captivated us all! Break Me Brayshaw has all the angst, alpha intensity, and intrigue that makes this series so addictive, but it also has a poignant emotional center that had Royce and Brielle stealing my heart.
My favorite Brayshaw boy’s story is everything I ever wanted- and somehow so much more. THIS is the Meagan Brandy I love- THIS is what makes the Brayshaw series so amazing. Everything starts with secrets, with the thirst for revenge, for power, for control- and like each Brayshaw boy before him, Royce finds himself powerless to a doe eyed girl. His story is every bit as angsty and addictive, but I found his story to be the most beautiful of the three- the most moving, in part because this doesn’t just complete Royce’s story, it completes everyone one’s, but also because there is something special about Brielle and Royce- they have a tender vulnerability, a raw openness to their connection that squeezed my heart tight.
ROYCE. Oh my heart- I loved him before, but I would die for him now. Meagan peels back all the layers of bravado, anger, and swagger so we can see the multi-facted heart of this sweet and loyal man. We got glimmers of it before, but we finally see that there is a sadness to Royce Brayshaw- he’s lonely, lost, feels unworthy and unsure, and mired in the bittersweet tinge of being wrapped up in his brothers’ happiness. His family has changed, but Royce is the same- but does he want to be? Break Me is right, Meagan- because Royce BROKE me. My heart hurt for him. And as much as his beautiful family SAW him (because they do), he needed someone to complete his soul, to fill his heart- to draw in his pain and anger and unleash his joy. And I was not convinced someone could, but wow, does she ever.
But the TRUE revelation of this story, and in my opinion this whole series, is Brielle. I wasn’t sure if I would even like her, let alone love her- but I FLOOOOVE her. Meagan brilliantly gives us a heroine SO different than the others- she’s somewhat submissive, patient, tender and soft. She is so full of love and kindness that there’s a lightness in every word I read from her- a warmth that just charms and soothes you. Unlike everyone else, she trusts and loves easily, gives her heart openly, and has unrelenting optimism, despite the crappy hand she’s been dealt. It’s not wonder she captures everyone’s hearts, including mine so easily, but what makes her so magical is that she can also stand on her own- she sasses, she dishes out the banter, and she doesn’t back away from her feelings- no matter how intentionally or unintentionally Royce tries to break her. Because she loves SO hard, so unconditionally, she refuses to accept the worst in him, to accept his fear and anger. She is SO special- she could not be more endearing.
And their love is SO precious. He helps her find the life she wanted- gives her someone who finally fights FOR her, even if Royce doesn’t always understand why he wants to do that. And Brielle, well she’s the soothing balm to them all. She’s the beating heart- she heals and soothes. Their chemistry is HOT, but it is also so intimate and solid- their is a magnetic pull between their souls from the moment they meet- it gripped me, and it did not let me go.
What has made the Brayshaws so captivating is not just the romance or even the suspense (and this one has both- HOT and a WTF twist), but is it is really this amazing family- the CHOSEN family that the Brayshaw boys have created with their permanent braygirls. They are loyal to a fault, sharing a love and connection that few would understand. And Meagan honored that so beautifully in this book. We get to see this crew solidify- this isn’t just about Royce and Brielle, it’s about completing their family, all the pieces fitting together. Everyone having their space that is comfortable and familiar and safe- the sum total. We get to see all the magic we wanted to see- what happens with Raven’s pregnancy, more Uncle Bro and Zoey charm, a dash of sage insight from the delightful Mabel… but really, this story all works up to a big feeling of WHOLENESS. My heart feels full and completed- because Brielle is the missing piece.
This is a series you can’t put down, one that has redefined writing in the new adult genre, and one that I will forever return to as an all time favorite. The Brayshaws are pure magic- and I’m not ready to let them go! But, Meagan gave me a perfect ending. I couldn’t be happier with how everything resolved- and as we heard so aptly in this story "I need for you to remember what feels like the end, is always the beginning." This might be the end of our time, but it is only the beginning of the hard fought happiness and family these Brayshaws have earned. I just feel fortunate that I got to know them- and I’ll never forget them.

OMG Royce was the best.
I'm a Maddoc girl, but was very intrigued by Royce and wanted to know how his mind worked. And god, do I know now. I loved every single thing about him.
Brielle was super awesome too. I think I even like her better than I do Raven.
I really liked how the story slowly progressed. Meagan is so good with slow burn and I love that. I loved the way how Royce slowly made progress with his affection and Brielle just kept being her and didn't change.
It was an awesome 5th part in the series and was everything I hoped for Royce.
Perfect story for an imperfect boy <3

My boy royce 😍
And tink 🥰
This was one of a funny book! These two are meant to be together. From the start.
I was kind of happy it wasn‘t that ‚dark‘ like the first 3 (+4th) books. Much more lighthearted. But royce wasn‘t the easiest brother. But when she cracked the nut, and she earned his love? Boy oh boy.
The book wasn‘t so strong like the first three but i needed to know whit whom royce will end up. And it was just perfekt!
