I'm not going to rate this book because it did bring out some emotions in me. I stewed in bed until I finally fell asleep and woke up still thinking about it. This is probably the longest review I've ever done. It probably makes zero sense because I am not a writer by any means. The Wrong Blaze” is the first stand alone novel and was released in the year 2018. Hate. Lies. Love. And nothing is ever like it appears.

Christmas Cards & Gift Wrap

Arianna is getting ready to start her first year of college and she hopes this is the year she can finally be with the man of her dreams. Chase. Her brother’s best friend. But things with Chase do not go as planned. Ari is in a close knit, family like friend group that consists of Ari, Cameron (Ari’s BFF), Mason (Ari’s twin brother), Brady and Chase. It puts a strain on the friend group at first, but things start to normalize. I'm obviously in the minority here.. but I couldn't. I DNFd @ 35%. If you want to read my rant about this book scrollllllll down. FYI I read the synopsis when adding this to my TBR before it was out. So of course when it came out, I saw all the gushing over it, and I went straight in not reading the synopsis since that TBR add.. so I really went in blind.. not to mention the synopsis did a crap job of explaining this book.

Wow, I didn’t expect to love this book so much and have so many emotions coursing through me. The story was beautiful and I loved it. Oh my! What a ride this story was! I just have to start by saying this is my favorite story of all time! It has definitely made it to the top of the "Read Again" list and I just can't wait to do it again. I just love when a book makes you feel so many emotions throughout the process of reading it and this book did just that and more!!The smut doesn’t start until about 50% in. It really disturbed me that he didn’t wear a condom or even discuss birth control with Ari yet he supposedly cared about her. They’re 18 and 21. They weren’t ready for a baby yet. I was so upset finishing this book solely because I never wanted it to end. If i could read it over and over again forever, I would. This story was perfect and beautiful. But so heartbreaking and raw and painful. You will go through every emotion possible with this book. But it will leave you feeling complete. I will love this book forever and ever and will never stop thinking about it. The Book Say You Swear is a love triangle, college football sports romance with angst, friendships, love, and tragic moments that put me on an emotional rollercoaster and had me feeling all of the emotions. Say You Swear is set in a fictional town called Say you Swear, which is a play on the phrase “say you swear.” I rated it four stars purely because of the emotions and vibes I experienced during the book. However, there are a lot of plot holes, and the book didn't need certain additional plot elements (no spoilers here!) and probably didn't need to be as long as it is. It could have been shorter yet equally impactful.

I confess part of my draw to this title was seeing Lee Samuels was on board. He does not disappoint! He is the perfect Noah. Noah goes through so much and you feel it all: sweetness, lust, devotion, sorrow, determination, and of course most important, love. MY ONLY NEGATIVE: The writing could be better, the only face people would do it’s a frown and smile. That kinda annoyed me but it didn’t bother me that much. Also, its long and could be couple of chapters shorter but other than that every chapter is important and you see it in the couple of chapters in the end.For example, when the heroine is telling us (lots of telling in this book) about her twin brother and his two best friends, we get: In ending this review, I would like to state that this book is worthy of more than 5 stars...I would give it 1,000 stars if I could. Please give it a chance. You will feel everything, but in the end you will feel inspired and be in love! I think Meagan Brandy has become my new favorite author and I do not say that lightly. I know that NOAH has become my FAVORITE CHARACTER of all time! Eventually, it was obviously apparent to everyone that they were IN LOVE, the really-deeply-truly-soul searching kind of love, and Noah has no problem claiming Arianna proudly to everyone--including her brother. Enter Chase again... Now that Noah has her, Chase sees and wants her. He is green with envy and tries to interfere whenever he can. For a long time, I’ve fantasised about what my life might be like if I went to college, and even if certain details shifted over time, there was always one element that remained the same. UNTIL I was lost with Payton..Parker? Nate? I did do a little research because I felt like I was missing something. Apparently, Nate and his girl (can't remember her name) are the main characters in another series by the author.

fear not the fall, but the life that comes from having never leaped at all.” i smile through my tears. “i’ll always leap if the jump leads me to you, noah riley. always.”Ari is heart broken, she hides herself away missing important life events her and her bestie Cam had planned years before. It basically starts with the kids spending the summer at the families beach house. Because of what happens to her and her life long crush with one of their friends, Chase, college doesnt start off that well for Ari. She's hurt, even though she wanted it to happen. Its not what she did that hurt her, but how the friend she thought she loved responded to it, telling her it was a mistake, and withdrawing from her.
