Promise Me Not

Boys of Avix, Book 2

De: Meagan Brandy

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Chase Brown

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.

Promise Me Not is the second interconnected stand-alone in the universe of Say You Swear.

Adored

Such a beautiful story! Which was not surprising. I knew after say you swear that this would be just as amazing. As a single mom this one definitely pulled on the heart strings. The narrators were amazing🩷

Love the Avix U Series

Mason's POV was wonderful, to understand who he is and what is important to him. On multiple occasions while reading, he made my heart melt and I absolutely adore him. Payton's character has been through so much in such a short period of time. She is faced with navigating grief and heartbreak, becoming a new mother and supporting her son, all while experiencing the conflicting emotions of love after loss. I admired her strength to try to figure out how to move forward on her own as a young woman and in a world full of uncertainty. They both struggle to communicate with each other and parts of the story are devastating. But some parts are beautiful; the relief that love always has a way of healing and when times are tough, better days are coming. As always with Meagan Brandy's books, I didn't want the book to end and I hope we see more of them in future books.

I absolutely loved this book

Such a great book, I haven’t read a book by her that I haven’t loved.

Rate 4.5⭐️

I preface this by saying Meagan can do no wrong! She doesnt have it in her to write a bad book, everything she delivers is amazing. With that being said, I did struggle with Promise Me Not but that is ME problem NOT a Meagan problem!
Did I have high hopes for this book? Yes! How could you not after the literal perfection that is Say You Swear. Sadly, FOR ME this did not meet MY high hopes. That is in NO WAY to say this is a bad book — absolutely not, this was still an amazing book and an amazing addition to the Boys of Avix series so far.
Let’s get where I struggled out of the way so I can rave about the amazing parts of this story. I immediately grabbed this book when it was released, but I could not connect with my Kindle version so I decided to listen to the audiobook in hopes that I would love it just the same as I did say you swear, seeing as I’ve listened to that audiobook at least 30 times easily. And yes, I did love it. My problem was I had a hard time connecting with the narrator who voices Peyton for the simple fact of she supposed to be a teenager, and the narrator just sounded like an older woman so it threw me off while listening. There was just something about Peyton that I could not connect with for a good chunk of the book which made it harder for me to connect with the book as a whole but I absolutely LOVE Mason.
OK that aside this was an amazing book. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster obviously, BUT the love that Mason has for not only to Peyton but Little D was beyond what I could’ve imagined for 19-year-old. For me this book definitely gave right person wrong time, obviously she was Mason’s soulmate, but he had to give her the time and the ability to not only grieve, but also allow herself to move on. There were so many moments where I felt like she was going to give in and then she would pull back, it drove me absolutely wild, but I loved it because it kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. And when Little D finally walked, and the fact that Mason was the one who got to see it 😘👌🏼 because even though he wasn’t his bio dad he was definitely his daddy! 😍
And CHASE BROWN was perfection 😍😍
I cannot wait until Cameron’s book to be released!!

the love he had for her and the baby from the very beginning.

it went back and forth before now and before. sometimes it was hard to keep up.
