Gravity

The Saltwater Trilogy #2

by A.G. Meiers

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.

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?

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

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

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.
