I guess I just grew out of Meagans’s books?
Say you swear is one of my favorite books so I was anxiously waiting for the next book in the boys of Avix series. This is the story of Mason & Payton. Payton is learning how to not only be a single mom after her boyfriend passing away but also how to handle the grief of losing someone. Mason steps up not only to be support for Payton, but for Deaton too. We get to see these two in past and present and how their relationship unfolds through all the highs and lows.
I wanted to love love love this book like I did Say you Swear, but it just wasn't there for me. I liked it, but just didn't love it. There was a lot of push & pull between the main characters and sometimes I feel like it took me out of the story line especially with the two different timelines. Mason truthfully was the start of the show with this book, the way he stepped up for Payton was so sweet & his moments with Deaton were what saved the book for me.

3★ i had so much expectations for this book and i can say i’m really disappointed.. going into it i was yearning for the same things i felt while reading say you swear but this book felt flat in comparison .. i loved both main characters, and payton has such a sad story but the romance was laking chemistry in my opinion. mason is a sweetheart but it was like he cared more about being the baby father than being with payton and this was kinda weird to me. i loved seeing the other characters tho and i was so happy with the arinoah crumbs

This book was heavy but I loved Payton and Mason so much in the end. I did get frustrated with the back and forth a bit but processing grief is heavy so I understand why it was needed. The spice almost felt strange because it took so long but geez it was good, baby girl, will always stick with me. I love all the characters in these books and the stories of friendship!
Love, love, Loved!!!
After reading this blurb I was so eager to get my hands on this book. This is one of my favorite tropes to read. This story has some fan favorite characters from Meagan’s previous novels so it was a treat to see them again.
I think I can safely say that after reading this, Mason will be your new book boyfriend…maybe husband!?!?! His love for Payton was just so fierce I had to read this in one sitting. There’s definitely some push and pull there but just enjoy the ride. The first chapter is going to hook you so just be prepared. Mason and Deaton…together…SWOON. And Payton, this girl endured so much and overcame every hurdle she faced. It was admirable. You really root for her happily ever after during this book. I have so much more to say, but I’ll leave it at that so that I don’t venture into spoiler territory.
Final words: this is for sure a must-read
