Say You Swear: An Emotional New Adult Sports Romance (Boys of Avix, 1)

By Meagan Brandy

From TikTok sensation Meagan Brandy comes the first in the heartfelt, romantic Boys of Avix series.

Her brother's best friend broke her heart, but what happens when his new teammate wants to put it back together?

Arianna Johnson has been dreaming of what college life might bring, and it's finally coming over the horizon as she and her friends plan one last beachside summer together. So much has changed over the years, but there's always been one constant. The boy her heart returns to no matter where her imagination runs: her brother's best friend, Chase.

This is the summer she'll finally tell him how she feels. That it's him. It's always been him.

Until suddenly, it isn't.

Ari's heart is in splinters when she meets star quarterback Noah Riley. His friendship is exactly what she needs after Chase's rejection, but from the start, Noah wants more. Even when their path is blurry, even when tragedy strikes, even when Ari doesn't know her own heart, Noah will fight for the feelings he knows they both have...no matter what it might cost them.

They say first love lasts forever. Ari is about to find out if that's really true.

Noah Riley is a great MMC. That being said... this book was painful to get through. The amnesia trope was completely and utterly cheap, in my opinion. I felt like it was just a way to add another few hundred pages to this book, which was already too long. No one talks about how this book is riddled with bad writing and typos, but that was almost enough to make me put the book away indefinitely. I had many moments where I did not know where the characters were and who was speaking. I had to force myself to finish this book. It still made me cry at the end, but I would not recommend this to anyone.

Worth all the hype. Young college age characters and slow burn but the ending is worth it. I don’t usually cry with my books but this one got me. Beautiful.

I wished I would have DNFd this when Noah backed off and gave Ari free reign to go be with Chase, who is a liar and manipulator. Noah left her completely at Chase's mercy while she was vulnerable and weak. Noah didn't protect her at all.
No spice at all.
Narrator Lee Samuels is amazing as Noah

Loved the beginning but suprisingly, towards the end I was getting bored even though it was still a good book. I would give this one another try for sure.
