My #MNGirl

4*
Saylor & Ciaran are still finding their way but tragedy is in store for her along with some hard decisions. Lots of twists & secrets unravelling, things not as expected with this installment.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment.

I was given this ARC for a honest review and I am grateful for the opportunity to read this series by A. M. Brooks. MY#MNGirl picks up right where #MNGirl left off with Ciaran and Saylor learning to trust and love each other with all the intense events and tragedies all around them. It was fun to watch the comradery amongst the four friends once Kai and Silas excepted Saylor, even becoming protective of her. There was suspense, intrege, adventure, romance and sex, what more could you want in a book. Two new characters were introduced in this book which made the intrgue all the more interesting and left you wondering where these characters will fit into the next book. There were some disclosures at the end of the book that had you taking a breath and saying, "WOW". My#MNGirl was very well written, kept you engaged throughout and like the first book left you out on a cliff hanging, wanting more and waiting for the third book to arrive.

Copy received from The Next Step PR and I am reviewing it voluntarily and objectively.

My #MNGirl is the sequel and ending to Ciaran and Saylor’s story. Which is unfortunate because these two warm my heart so much, but I do look forward to what the author gives us next in this wonderful series.

While a great book, I didn’t find this one as enjoyable as #MNGirl. I suppose because Saylor and Ciaran are together now, so there’s no angst and building storyline; just cuteness. On this note though, the author does a fantastic job with these two. I find they have just enough heat between the two of them to satisfy a reader within the sex scenes, but not enough to be considered erotica, which really wouldn’t fit with the other genres. Ciaran’s protectiveness of her is just perfect, and they challenge each other and engage with one another in ways that work for them. Saylor isn’t a Mary Sue by any means. Ciaran is protective, but not annoying. He lets her do things, and keeps a lot of his protective thoughts internal. Really, can there be a more perfect romance couple?

This one involves Saylor finding a new normal, Ciaran continuing his building work with Rogue, and them figuring out how to navigate a relationship within it all.

All in all, a great book and I am eager for #SummerGirl.

Loved My #MNGirl! Angst, suspense, adventure! Has it all! Although It felt like we aren’t done with Saylor and Ciarans story, so was bummed about that. It is beautifully written and they have some serious chemistry 🔥 I can’t wait for #SummerGirl

Woh woh woh…hold on a damn minute! 
I am not a happy girl right now.
I know I sound like a brat but I didn’t expect it to end on such a massive cliffhanger ok?

But besides that, My #MNGirl by A.M. Brooks is ❤️🔥(There are moments in life when only emojis can express what I’m feeling).

My #MNGirl was such a page turner. I didn’t realise that I was already at the end of the book until that cliffhanger …I may have screamed my frustration.
This book is suspenseful, absolutely thrilling and yes, it is sexy. There is no doubt that the chemistry between the characters are off the charts hot. It was also so adventurous and was filled with so much suspense and mystery…I was loving each and every moment of it.

I cannot wait to read more.

FYI…that cover model though 😍

A.M Brooks does it again! I have been so excited about this book release!! Book 1 #MN Girl was absolutely amazing but this one TOPS that one!! This one picks up right where book 1 left off at the heart wrenching ending!!

This book has so much action and betrayal and twists and turns I couldn’t put it down!!
And what Saylor has to go through and put up with she is amazing! And Ciaran I am so glad we got more POV from him he really stepped up this book!! I am so glad they are PERFECT together!

And that ending NOOOOOO!!!!! I have so many questions that need answers!! I am sad this is the ending of Saylor’s and Ciaran’s story but I am so excited for #Summergirl!! I need more of the Midwest boys!!!

My #MNGirl picks up right after that the wild cliffhanger in book 1 and as the reader you are instantly thrown back into the fray. There are even more explosive revelations and plot twist than before. This is a fast paced emotional world wind that grips you from beginning to end. The story is filled with strong and determined characters.

Saylor’s devastation and Ciaran utter helplessness bleeds through in the first half of this story. As Saylor begins to pull away and lock down emotionally, Ciaran works at building a new relationship with Say. All his the past grievances he committed in book one are back to haunt him. The Midwest boys are there to hold Say up when she wants to crumble, they are her life lines this time around, and she provides a new vulnerability to the group.

Say and Ci’s relationship intensifies, these two never lack in the hotness factor. While at the same time they are facing the uncertainty of what the future holds. Ci’s over protective and possessive nature is ramped up to a whole new level.

My #MNGirl is layered in intrigue, suspense and just the right amount of steam. It is a gripping and tantalizing follow-up and I am excited for more.

MY #MNGirl continues from where the first book in the series left off. The story was still focused on Saylor and Ciaran and It was action-packed, intense and such an awesome emotional ride.

Saylor is still in hiding, but after a tragic event involving her mother and little sister, the situation she finds herself in becomes even more dangerous. Her father's enemies are lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment, and there might be a traitor inside Rogue, the organization that fights to protect her. But one thing's for sure, she's now part of the family and Ciaran will do anything to keep her safe.

Told from dual pov, full of twists and turns, with fast-paced action, dangerous and angsty situations but also hot encounters between the protagonists, this book had me enthralled until the very end. There is also a lot of character development, we got to see Saylor and Ciaran grow as a couple. Their relationship was even more intense, they were electric together. I love the strength Saylor has shown, despite constantly being in danger she pulled herself together and showed a tougher side. And seeing Ciaran lowering his walls and opening up to her was heartwarming. He would do anything to protect Saylor and keep her out of harm's way. I was completely enamoured by him. While this book was the end of Saylor and Ciaran's story, I am sure we'll continue to see them in the next instalments of the series. I'm very excited to see how Silas's story will unravel and what new dangers the team will have to face.

For me, this story was a page-turner, I was captivated from the beginning of book one and I highly recommend the series to everyone who loves suspenseful romances.

WHHHATTTTT? This series just gets more and more murky as we go along, but in the best ways. The twists and turns keep me flipping the pages, and the revelations have me shouting my emotions.
Character development between book 1 & 2 is unreal. When I tell y’all that these characters have GROWN, it’s not an exaggeration. These MidWest boys did not come to play with anyone, they are here, and they are letting us all know.
My heart continues to bleed for Saylor, her life is an epic mess of almost unfixable proportions, but the girl is a champ, taking so much in stride.

I’m ready for our #SummerGirl, I think more will come to light, and hopefully take some of the edge off this cliffy.

Oh my goodness, you guys are not prepared for that ending!!!

This author totally got me with #MNGirl (Midwest Boys 1), that book blows my mind off. It was everything and more and she tightened the story with a cliffhanger that keeps me counting the days for the release of book #2 (My #MNGirl), and guess what, I wasn’t disappointed at all.

This book is full of theories crossing my mind with everything that happened in Rogue, so many twists and turns of things from the past that definitely is affecting the people in the present. Things related to Ciaran and Saylor finally looking good and the heat between this two is been released with some very hot scenes in bed( oh my, I’m fanning my self here, Lol) and some romantic details (sometimes this boys melted and become like those cute and snuggled stuffed bears).

There’s some secrets that got revealed and surprise me because I never saw it coming, and then the ending left me with a big open eyes, mouth and thinking “now what”? It can’t end like this, Ashton can be this cruel with us, right?

There’s more books to come and for sure all the questions and things that hasn’t been clarified and brining to light needs to be on the next book, that’s where my hope is. So many theories rounding my mind and I can’t wait for the next book, which may be, or not be about Ci and Say ;) my mouth is zipped now :)

So just to finish with my chatting and thinking over here I’ll say that this author knows how to keeps you attach to every line in this book, with the twist and turns, the suspense on some situations only adds more reasons to maintain the interests on the story and find out how will everything turns out at the end.

Thank you to the author, Netgalley and The Next Step PR for providing an advance copy, I voluntarily given my honest review.

Action, suspense, steam and everything in between!

The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💚💙💜❤️🖤
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📘📗📕📙📓
World building: ☃️⛄️☃️⛄️☃️
Character development: 👩🏼‍🦰👱🏼‍♂‍🧑🏻👩🏽👦🏻

The setting: Savage Lakes, Minnesota
The Hero: Ciaran, a high school senior, works for his Uncle’s company Rogue. His job is to protect Saylor Torre.
The Heroine: Saylor, also in high school, her father is a criminal and when he took off with the money he stole, he put a target on his family (Saylor, her mother and younger sister). Saylor is hiding out at Rogue headquarters with Ciaran and his uncle Matt while her mother and sister were being moved elsewhere.

When I read #MNGirl I was very pleasantly surprised at the intricate plot, the awesome world building and fantastic character development. The one thing I was a bit up in the air about was the company, “Rogue” which seemed a bit too much to be believed. It was portrayed as a sort of witness protection program but was run by Matt and his parents and grandparents before him. So a family run witness protection business. It didn’t really ring true, but in this book we got more explanation on the business and it makes it all more believable.

“Rogue has created a society built on the idea of protecting those who are not safe anywhere else. We have hubs all over the country, and we have extensive training in military combat, surveillance, and cyber warfare. It’s why we excel the way we do. It’s why the United States government gives us the cases they know no one other that Rogue can handle. When witness protection isn’t enough, the government reaches out to us. Rogue is well-oiled machine that leaves nothing to chance and has a contingency plan for all situations.”

In this book the romance between Saylor and Ciaran heats up quite a bit. This is not a young adult romance, though these characters are in high school they could easily be in a job setting or in college and have a very similar plot. The romance is super steamy and the characters deal with extremely tough situations. Ciaran and his friends carry guns and take the protection of their targets and each other very seriously.

I am really enjoying the plot, and all the characters. I can’t wait to see what happens with Ciaran’s friends Kai and Silas. Kai is getting to know Saylor’s best friend from New York and it looks like a romance is brewing between them. But Silas is a dark horse and broody as well. He grew up with the mistaken impression that Saylor’s mother ruined his parents marriage. Though he recently found out it was actually his mother that ruined his father and Saylor’s mother’s relationship. She also did some awful things before leaving. So Silas is coming to terms with that and slowly becoming a more likable guy. I can’t wait to see who he ends up with and hopefully that will be as good a story as this one.

This book was the end of Saylor and Ciaran’s story and Silas’ story is next. I thought this ended a bit abruptly, but I am sure the next book will take off right where this one left off just like this one did from the first book. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

4.5 stars

This series has been one of my favorite discoveries of 2020. I am 100% involved in the outcome of the mysteries that are unfolding and these characters. In the first book, I was worried about the age of the characters but this definitely did not hinder the story. The author was masterful in being able to hone in on the happenings of High School while also making the characters not be TOO immature or mature. I think she is able to do that because of the background of what these characters have been through, and are also currently experiencing, due to what Rogue really is in all of their lives.

The book picks up where the last one left off, and my heart hurt. I felt the emotions in every one of these characters. I loved watching Cy and Saylor grow within their relationship. Again, there were times I completely forgot their age until something in their life environment reminded me of it. The book continues with the mysteries and so many questions are answered. However, just when one mystery is solved another one springs up. There were a couple of them at the end of this book that definitely paved the way for the next book in the series that will star a new main character. I am 100% on board for that book.

My only real complaint was that even though the book paved the way for what is coming, it was just a meh way, in my opinion, to end the duet of Cy and Saylor. I am sure they will be seen again in the future and I hope when they are that I get a better look into their future. Plus side, I loved getting to see a few chapters from Matt's point of view, especially, since he has been so instrumental in this whole story.

4.5 stars

Holy wow, okay. My #MNGirl picks up where we left off in #MNGirl and it does not let up at all. Ciaran, Silas, Kai, and the rest of the crew are left reeling with the tragedy that just unfolded, and no one more so than Saylor. But that girl? She’s a survivor. A fighter. Her world got turned upside down, in the worst way, and yet, she finds a way to put one foot in front of the other... and who do they take her to?

Ciaran, of course.

Ci steps up in a huge way in the book not only for Rogue, but especially for Say. There’s so much more action happening and there are threats circling them, but he puts Saylor first, making sure his girl has what she needs. He takes care of her, protects her, and loves her so fiercely. We really see how solid the relationship is between these two and that they are truly endgame.

AM Brooks did another fantastic job of delving deeper into the twisted web of Rogue and this world. I fell more in love with the Midwest Boys, with Saylor, and even Matt and Jason. She takes you through an emotional wringer and does so in beautiful fashion.

I will say, though, that this book did rather abruptly. I had a moment of checking to make sure I had all my chapters and wasn’t missing anything, it was that abrupt. We get so many answers in this book, but we’re still left with plenty of questions as we get ready for #SummerGirl. I am still super excited about this series and can’t wait to read more about Silas and Kai!
