What book! Meagan Brandy gave me a very moving, adorable and surprising love story about second chances, characters that are much more than meets the eye and a book that goes straight to my favorites list.
Meyer was a wonderful character for me, I fell in love with her from the first moment, for that reason, her situation throughout the book broke my heart a lot and I wanted nothing more than to protect her. Meyer has a big heart, is kind, empathetic, hardworking, dedicated, brave and tries to put herself in the shoes of others, is a girl who is going through a difficult situation due to her past mistakes but she's willing to graduate and do her best to be happy and give little Bailey the life she deserves. One of the things I loved about Meyer was his ability to acknowledge his mistakes and fix them, and I found them adorable the moments when she realized she was hurting Tobias’s feelings unintentionally and tries to apologize. I also really enjoyed reading her friendship with Bianca and her relationship with Milo, I liked that, in one way or another, she was surrounded by love and support.
With Tobias I had a difficult start, I have to say that at the beginning I was not liking his character at all because his personality was arrogant, conceited and I didn’t like the way he behaved with Meyer, but the more I read his story, the more I realized that Tobias is a very complex character: he’s a boy who has not received the support of his family when he needed it most, someone who has been forced to hide his true personality and be what others say he is, but in reality Tobias is a tender, adorable, attentive and understanding boy, I loved reading how he changes his behavior when he found out about Meyer’s situation, and discovering his true personality was one of my favorite things about this book.
As a couple Meyer & Tobias are absolutely beautiful! Although they have a complicated beginning, it’s very interesting to read how Tobias's feelings begin to change and his physical attraction for Meyer becomes something more, I loved his way of supporting her unconditionally, how affectionate and tender he was with her, but the best of all is the way he gets involved with little Bailey, those moments are the most beautiful that I have read and they are the reason why I fell in love with these three. But not everything is so perfect, because Meyer has a great secret that turns his life and Tobias's upside down, especially because it could destroy his relationship with the only person who has supported him, and it’s a secret that he discovers a special bond between Tobias & Meyer, something that surprised me but I really enjoyed discovering, also this plot has twists and situations that are completely surprising and unexpected, moments that broke my heart and made suffer, but they are completely worth it to read this wonderful story.

Cute story. I wasn't prepared for the twist. I thought I had it figured out but was pleasantly surprised to see it. I did want more of a resolution of how the ending came about with the coach.

The only reason I gave this book four stars is because reading about Tobias in the beginning I almost didn’t finish. But holy crap his character development was actually unreal. He gives off Garrett Graham vibes but definitely a lot more cocky(yeah i didn’t think that was possible either). Definitely a lot of plot twists but this book was so good I couldn’t put it down. Then again I should have known, Meagan Brandy never disappoints.

Another great Read
Like all of Megan's books, this one is filled with emotion.
From the very first page, you come to know both main characters. At the beginning you get a sense of cockiness from Tobias and I was initially worried if I was going to like his Character. But I needn't have worried!
Straight away you feel sorry for Meyer. You realise early that she has a lot going on and you figure out quickly the reason for that.
Meyer is a tutor, and on top of her responsibilities, she helps Avix U's athletes that are struggling with their studies, one of those students is Tobias.
Tobias is your typical jock, or soo we are lead to believe. He is the star pitcher on the baseball team and is very close with his Coach. The coach does what he can for his players, and keeps them out of trouble. He isn't sure why Meyer isn't like everyone else and falls all over him, in fact she barely looks at him and is so focused on study.
All through the book Tobias is fighting an internal battle with himself over Meyer and does everything he can to spend more time with her.
They start to become close and feelings are developed. It's around this time that other secrets start to be revealed and one I didn't see coming!
I enjoyed the dual POV of the story, because you get to feel and understand what both characters are going through. You realise that Tobias is so much more than a cocky jock and you realise how he came to be this way.
I cant say too much more without giving the secrets away, but like all Megan's books, this is written in a way that allows you to feel the characters emotions and you hurt right along with them.
Tobias grew a lot through the book and I came to love him as a character! He really was kind and understanding, a real sweetheart!
If you haven't read any of Megan's books yet, you are missing out! It's currently free on Kindle Unlimited, or if you're like me you'll want to purchase all of meagans books so you can read then over again!

Dirty Curve was so much more than what I was anticipating! Don't get me wrong! I had high hopes about this story, because I love Meagan Brandy’s writing and the blurb was so alluring, but this story was emotionally deeper than what I first expected.
