The Saltwater Trilogy #2
Gravity
The past comes crashing down. It’s gravity…
Unfinished business is my middle name.
Hiding in my small town in Maine is no longer an option. I have to go back to Chicago and deal with the fallout of the scandal that cost me my family and my career. Avoiding Tanner Weston is a perk! We’re like fireworks—spectacular in the dark, but plain dangerous in the cold light of day. He tossed me aside so he could focus on reuniting his broken family. I understand.
I wasn’t expecting a warm welcome back home, but I didn’t anticipate running straight into trouble. When I find myself up to my neck in danger—again—it’s Tanner who comes to my rescue. No explanation given. Gloriously arrogant as ever.
Now, we’ll have to join forces and find a way to close the door on my past once and for all.
I can only hope we’ll get it done before it drags Tanner and his innocent, younger brother into the darkness that once nearly destroyed me…
Gravity, book 2 in the Saltwater Trilogy, is a fast-paced, hurt/comfort, M/M romantic suspense featuring two men with nothing in common but an excess of emotional baggage. If you love grit, heart, a good redemption arc, and a hard-won happily ever after, dive into the Saltwater Trilogy today.

This one was much faster paced. Sean goes to Chicago and meets up with friends and foes. Tanner follows him there days later. Their relationship is jaded with past baggage. Both are seriously messed up.
Sean gets seriously hurt trying to lure his stalker out into the open. NGL this was VERY anticlimactic situation after 2 books about it… meh 🫤
The volatile nature of Sean and Tanner’s relationship was a bit annoying as well. Rose was also super ugh in this installment. I loved Mateo though. I hope he’s in book 3… off to finish this trilogy. Lots of loose ends to tie up after all.

1st person, past tense, single PoV (Sean)
Sean Kelley (36), police officer at the Bedford PD
Tanner Weston (32), VP of Online Reputation Management for CONTEGO, Inc.
This is the second book of a trilogy following the same couple/characters, it should not be read as a standalone, you need to read Riptide first.
After the events of the first book it is evident that someone from Sean's past is still holding a grudge. Finally! We get to delve deeper in to Sean's history and really get to know him both within the context of his family and his derailed Chicago PD career. It was pretty heartbreaking at times - the scenes with his mother and aunt especially, but knowing he's found his place in Bedford, ME took some of the sting out of things. It was nice to see that for as bleak as the life he left behind had become, and how necessary it was for him to get away, he still had people in his corner, even if he didn't realize it.
The overbearing mother hen, Tanner, is still trying to manage everything, and much to Sean's consternation as things heat up he needs the help. To the delight of this particular reader Tanner really seemed to shore Sean up when he needed it most and it goes a long way to endearing him to us. As helpful as his money and influence could be, it's his steadfast presence that has the most effect, something that it would do Tanner well to realize himself, but I imagine with a third book forthcoming, he'll get there. The author did a great job of showing how much conflict and upheaval he was feeling through his actions and words even if we weren't privy to his thoughts and feelings.
These books have made me want to read more suspense. I can't wait for the third book to release.
I was given an ARC and voluntarily wrote an honest review.

The plot(s) thickens!
I’m still have a grand time (and a ragey time! 😂🤷♀️) reading this series! (Note…proofreading continues to be an issue, with missed words and typos.)
Tanner is the guy I love to hate, he’s so bad for Sean but also become so down-bad for him he whiplash fast changes from acting like a remote powerful rich dude to becoming a total sap over the course of the book. Too sappy actually, but, whatevs. I was here for it.
Faced with Tanner’s Sean ducks out of Bedford, ME, entirely and runs off back to his hometown, Chicago, to see his mentally failing mother and also see if the man gunning for him in Bedford is tied to his scandalous past in Chicago.
Guess what? He is.
Such a whirlwind of blustering bullies confronting Sean, and reunion with a man who turns out to be Sean’s best friend, a friend he really shouldn’t have cut out of his life (from shame, not anything else) because this guy is AWESOME I love Mateo, and tons of rocks to overturn with vipers striking left and right. So much fun!
Sean’s personal thread with his mother and his aunt and uncle added a poignant and heart-wrenching layer to the story. His personal pain is palpable, and I was moved by what he’s facing. I loved his aunt FINALLY stepping up for him and admitting she should have all along.
And guess who cannot STAND that Sean fled town without a word? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yup. Tanner’s there, and he actually steps up and helps Sean tremendously. But…why? Sean asks internally, trying to figure out wtf is going on with this man.
I mean, the reader sees that “he fell first but he fell SO much harder” is at play, and it’s kinda hilarious even though this may or may not be safe for me (it’s never clarified, so I didn’t worry too much).
So Sean’s kicked the hornet’s next. Mateo is a terrific new character, and there’s a scene showcasing his own heartbreak that really got me (and even though his Person seems irredeemable, I kinda want to see THAT mess work out in the end! 🤭). Tanner and Mateo back Sean up at great moments. But by the time they leave town, there are a lot of questions unanswered.
They have to go back bc Joan, Sean’s partner, calls with news things have Escalated capital E back in Bedford, and things have also moved forward on the plot thread with Tanner’s little bro KC from the book 1 plot, and the two threads are unrelated but stakes escalate and resolve on both sides (which makes sense bc KC is what crossed the threads in the first place. It’s complicated but works/isn’t contrived, apart from coincidence).
So the plot is plotting! And the romance…Sean KNOWS Tanner isn’t free, is just fucking around with their incendiary chemistry, but Sean is a goner and cannot resist this man who is mentally shit for him but physically his perfect partner. Argh!
The romance comes to a major turning point, with all the angst, involving a house that has come to mean so much to Sean (75 River Run! 🥰), and Tanner…well, his whole side of things is never explored well, because we’re in Sean’s POV, and I really needed a LOT more insight into what the hell he was thinking and going through. Because it was disturbing how he just so insensitively keeps throwing this element in Sean’s face, so shitty of him. But then….everything changes 180 degrees, and it wasn’t from nowhere bc we see in Chicago that Tanner cannot let Sean slip away and will do anything to win him, but, we don’t see how this other thing impacts him, why he lets it go when it’s been such a long-time thing and…I wanted more on that.
And he turns into a total sap, but, eh, he deserved to have to grovel a bit. So.
Anyway, it all escalates into a clusterF of epic proportions at the end, and brings KC’s suspense thread to a close, Sean’s most immediate thread to a close, and leaves the thread Sean stirred up in Chicago open-ended…for now…and Sean winds up with…a…boyfriend???
Note: Safe sex continues not to be dealt with in this trilogy, and it really REALLY needed to be addressed. Condoms are mentioned, and then Sean is all…but did he use one? And we NEVER GET AN ANSWER. And with Tanner’s situation? WE NEED ONE. And they need to TALK ABOUT IT. Very disappointing and frustrating, and they could have cleared up my wonderings about OP stuff, with one damn conversation. 🤬 grrrrrr.
Also note: Sean’s alcoholism continues as a personal conflict and challenge, and there are a couple scenes that hurt to read. He needs help/support, and there’s no mention that he’ll get any. And the people around him never do help; they’re all offering shots and enabling him as if they don’t realize he’s struggling (not Tanner, but, everyone else). It was frustrating. TW if this is a trigger for anyone.
HFN. Disgraced cop-made-good, powerful rich man, family drama, romantic suspense with baddies all around, high stakes, awesome reunions and apologies, OP drama that really drama-llama-ed but needed more insight and exploration… It may or may not have been strictly safe for me due to all the OP stuff being off page entirely/not explained, so, I’ll go with the idea of is it/isn’t it happening didn’t bother me enough to worry so…safe enough! Recommended for you romantic suspense folks who love a messy relationship. Reeeeeally messy.

4.5 stars - The story picks up where the previous one left off with Sean heading back to Chicago to visit his mother, seeking answers about his past and heeding Tanner’s “request” to give KC space to strengthen the relationship with Tanner and Bee. Now that it seems someone is after Sean, it all leads back to Chicago. There is a lot of back story that involves Sean’s past and how he ended up in the small Maine town and why he has the issues he has today.
It doesn’t take long for Sean to run into trouble there, but Tanner is not far behind to help him out. There is a lot of tension with these two aside from everything going on with Sean and his family issues. Sean knows better and has to remind himself about Tanner’s rules but he finds it more difficult as time goes on to keep his heart out of the mix.
Fortunately, Tanner has really been thrown a loop with his feelings for Sean. And then there is KC who is in the middle of it all. Needless to say, there is a lot going on here, but it is easy to keep it all compartmentalized and they all tie in together as the story goes. Reasons for their various actions are understood as it plays out and things ramp up with the intensity of finding the stalker trying to take out Sean and where it is all really coming from. I’m fully invested at this point and looking forward to the conclusion in book 3. It seems we still have a number of things to learn and questions that will be answered and A.G. Meiers has done a great job of laying it all out with just enough breadcrumbs to keep you wanting to come back for more.

Oof, what a story we get for the second in the Saltwater Trilogy! Meiers had their work cut out for them with the way Sean and Tanner were left at the end of Riptide. Tanner had ripped out our beloved Sean's heart. Gravity picks almost immediately with Sean running back to Chicago, loose ends and his mother but really just running. It was almost painful watching him deal with the pain of his former life. But he finds he does have friends and family. Unfortunately, Tanner shows up, ugh. And he actually helps out, bigger ugh. I want to continue to dislike him. But nooo, AG lets him open up, be vulnerable, ugh. And their chemistry is still off the chart.
"One kiss and I burn. From shimmering heat to liquid fire in three seconds flat. I don't even have words for it because it's off the scale."
"Words like passion and desire had no meaning until I laid eyes on you."
"We deserve tonight."
So good. In Chicago, we meet those friends and those who are truly his family. Of course Bedford is still full with wonderful characters...KC and Bed, Rose (need her story), Joan and Chase. Most of the story is told 3rd person from Sean's POV but the epilogue is in Tanner's POV and ugh, it's lovely. Two of their mysteries are resolved but one is left hanging and another is hinted. My dear AG, could some of my secondary characters get stories?

I needed to read Gravity so bad after Riptide. I’m so not good with cliffhangers and yet AG Meiers writes them so well. February isn’t that far away right?
Sean ran away! He did, that man tucked his tail and ran straight to the bottle and Chicago. He needed to go back though. He needed to find out what is happening and how is Mom is doing. Seeing his Aunt and having her welcome him back, that just healed his heart.
Tanner needs…well he needs to get his head on straight. I will say that this book totally redeems him in my eyes. I wonder if others feel the same way? I loved how KC got his closure. I hope he gets more healing in the final book of the trilogy. I love Sean and Tanner together. I think they’re both stronger and soften each other’s rough edges. I really enjoy this happy for right now. I have so many thoughts for book three. Bee and KC, do they get some more time in the storyline? What about Rose? What will A G Meiers do next? KC helped solve his case, the bad guy chasing Sean is gone, is something coming for Tanner or the family as a whole? I can’t remember the last time I was so hooked into a story. I’ve been so into paranormal romance lately and I feel like AG Meiers just snapped me back to the contemporary mystery romance side of the genre.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Second in series (The Saltwater Trilogy), must be read in order. Semi-established couple. Small town. Found family. Hurt/comfort. Slow burn. Single POV. Heed content warnings.
Immediately starting from where book 1 ended, Sean is in Chicago trying to tie together why someone from his past might have tried to kill him while leaving Tanner behind. When Tanner follows him and helps, they clash while attraction overrides their hesitations all over again.
I am still overly invested in this series, Sean being such an empathetic character as he tries to overcome his past to start trusting his own judgement while navigating the pitfall of his interactions with Tanner. Luckily we get some redemption from Tanner, he finally communicates more with Sean and admits his faults and errors. It was nice to see Sean reconnect with some people in Chicago, and getting more information about his past, but being back in Maine is where the story really feels more comfortable as they are surrounded by their found family. Cannot wait for the finale to this trilogy, as I’m sure Sean and Tanner will face more obstacles before getting a well-deserved HEA. 4.5 rounded up

Gravity - Sean & Tanner
“I’m sorry, Sean, really, I just didn’t know how to handle this...you…us. You got under my skin too quickly, and you are infuriatingly stubborn, and so dramatic…prickly and skittish.” I tried my best raised-eyebrow imitation and said, “Does that line usually work for you?” “I don’t know. There has never been anyone like you before,” Tanner declared, with a puzzled look on his face. Then, he reached up with one hand and touched my lips. “So soft...”
Tanner and Sean begin to find stable footing in their romantic relationship in AG Meiers’ Saltwater Trilogy, book 2.
With Sean’s latest brush with death, Tanner reaches deep inside to try to understand his need for Sean.
KC, Rose, and other secondary characters play pivotal roles in just how chaotic their road to romance has become, and we learn new information from their pasts that keep the danger level high for all involved!
Great second book in this trilogy!

Gravity delivers exactly what I crave in romantic suspense: deeply flawed, achingly human characters wrapped in a fast-paced, high-stakes plot. Tanner and Sean carry scars, guilt, and vulnerabilities that feel painfully real, and watching them collide—and reconnect—made for a deeply engaging read.
In the second book of the Saltwater Trilogy (better read in order), Sean returns to Chicago to unravel a past he’d rather leave behind. A.G. Meiers does an excellent job weaving suspense/mystery with hurt/comfort romance. While the first book focused on red-hot attraction, Gravity dives deeper into trust and love, even as Sean and Tanner face escalating danger and adversity.
A fantastic book and impossible to put down. I immediately pre-ordered the final book in the series.

This is the second book in the series, so gentle note that you'll want to start with the first one, if you haven't already. There's plenty of drama and intrigue in this installment too, and it's worth experiencing on its own terms, so I'll avoid describing it in too much depth. Sean continues to be a glorious mess of a character in all the best ways, and while I still don't like Tanner, at all, I am starting to enjoy not liking him? And to give him his due, he's making progress as a person. Even more immersive and intense than the first installment, getting to the end of this book just makes me even more determined to see what happens next.

I loved book 1, and I love book 2 even more! There's still plenty of suspense and intrigue, and whilst some things are resolved in this book, there are still loose ends left over for book 3. We get some new characters as well, mainly Sean's friend Matteo in Chicago, who I really hope we get to see more of. We also get to meet Sean's family in Chicago and some of his former colleagues, who represent the loose ends still outstanding. Sean and Tanner still don't have the smoothest of relationships, which makes things all the more interesting. Definitely read the series in order for maximum enjoyment. Can't wait for book 3!

4.5 stars. Second part of a trilogy, this managed to avoid the feeling I sometimes have with a set of three books where the middle book is less strong. Sean gradually grows to be more alive instead of surviving as he did in the last years and starts to heal a bit from blaming himself for everything that went wrong. Tanner has to do a bit of growing himself, especially how to relate to important others. The townspeople are really enjoyable, and the dangerous overreaching plots are partially solved, but there is still a for them to fight through for a HEA.
May 16, 2026
Things just keep getting more and more complicated for Sean and Tanner, and at times it’s hard to see how there could be any resolution. That’s what this author does so well. She manages to get the ending, and you can’t fathom how. This trilogy is full of rich characters that you don’t get from a stand alone. If you like some depth, rather than just a direct path to the HEA, then this set is for you! I can’t forget the mystery/suspense storyline that is well worth turning the pages for. There are plenty of complications there. Keeping track of it all is a fun challenge.
December 21, 2025
Gravity is the second book in the Saltwater Trilogy and must be read in order. This is a slow burn, hurt/comfort, suspenseful read sees us back with Sean and Tanner. I really enjoyed this story and can't wait for the conclusion. I do recommend checking the content warnings if you have any triggers.

This series is killing me! I love it so much. Again, Tanner and Sean's chemistry is off the charts. I am so invested in them. They have been through a lot in a short time. I cannot wait to read the 3rd book. Amazing writing.

There a some lose ends tied up
Sean and Tanner sets sparks off each other immediately.
Even distance and threats don't make them totally comfortable in each others space.
But the idea of building a family together once everyone is safe allows them to trust.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This is the second book in this trilogy Gravity Saltwater Trilogy!! The first book I was so against Tanner especially at the end of the book!! Now let’s dive into book 2 of this trilogy! My heart hurt so much for Sean losing everything you worked hard for a Mom who doesn’t remember you. I loved how the story picked right up wheee it finishes on the first book. KC still dealing with his trauma Sean trying to figure out the case and of course Tanner who the overbearing mother hen, Ag Meiers wrote this book beautifully you get backs glimpse of Sean’s past you get Tanners vulnerability.. I still want to know what rose is hiding lol just when you think you’re going to get your happy ending news flash you do not just yet you have Tanner and Sean being together yes but happy ever after no!! I was left with my mouth open I love that this book is a trilogy because both of these men could not just have one book!! If you love suspense low angst enemies to lovers this is a great read but you have to read them in order RIPTIDE IS BOOK ONE
