Wiz's Remedy {a review}

As you know, this week I have been sharing my bookish thoughts on the Camelot Misfits MC series by Xavier Neal. I've been doing this to prepare for Wiz's Remedy. After all I had to know the backstory. I couldn't go in not knowing the history. If you would like to go read my thoughts regarding King and Imani's story, my reviews are here:

King's Return | King's Conquest | King's Legacy 


Happy Book Birthday to Wiz's Remedy by Xavier Neal!

If you're a fan of the Camelot Misfits MC series, then chances are when Xavier Neal announced Wiz was getting a book, you probably have been anticipating it! After all, it's about time that Wiz gets his HEA.

Wiz's Remedy is a standalone novel that is taking place in the Camelot Misfits MC. Here you'll get to see familiar faces, catch up with all of them, see Wiz find an Old Lady, and not to mention go on one heck of a mission. 

I didn't know what to expect going into Wiz's Remedy. The teaser was minimal, and so I didn't have any clue what was going to happen. The only thing I knew was that Wiz was getting his story told. Wiz's Remedy was so good. It has a little different of a vibe than King and Imani's story, and that is perfectly okay. 

Now this book starts at King and Imani's wedding reception. I'm sure you can picture how big that celebration was! Wiz is outside taking a breather, and he hears a bit of a scuffle happening. Naturally he goes to check it out. There he finds a woman and man fighting. He steps in, helps out. It's what Wiz does. However, he is now interested in this little spitfire that was part of the ordeal. It is then that he meets Stella, and thus begins the journey.

Wiz's Remedy was fantastic. Start to finish I loved it all. Seeing Wiz in his element just felt normal. Witnessing how he discovered bits and pieces about Stella was interesting. He sure is amazing when it comes to what he does. Stella is pretty darn interesting as well. She's been trying to stay off the grid for so long, that she's a bit jumpy. (and rightfully so.) I mean she's been hurt beyond belief in her life, and she's running to save herself. The relationship between Wiz and Stella is intense. When Stella finally opened up to Wiz about her past, my heart broke a bit. What happens next was a lot. This is the big showdown, and dang. That all just happened. Then that little reveal after the showdown. OH MY HEART! Seriously, this book was just phenomenal. There was a lot of action, a lot of steam, and a HEA. What's not to love?

I cannot recommend the Camelot Misfits MC series enough. The first three books were amazing, and now this one just added to my love. Please read the series. Please. Then when you do, send me an email or a message on Facebook so we can discuss.

I can only hope that Xavier Neal brings us back to the Misfits for another book in the future. I'd personally love to see the other guys get their HEAs (ahem specifically Trick and Biz).

Thank you for reading my thoughts,

I know exactly how to get what I want, and I'm good at most everything I do.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.
And, since failing is not an option, blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.


Shay
I'm what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.
And I don't care. I know who I am. I know where I come from. And, I know exactly where I'm going.

That's why I'm at Cranmore University.
To get my degree and begin my life.


Only, that plan gets quickly derailed thanks to an unbecoming video, a blackmailing snowboarder, and his ex who's hell bent on making my life miserable.


They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

Warrior {a review}

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but this week I have been reviewing books within the Salvation Society series. I have been loving every single minute of it.

Today I am bringing you my review of Warrior by A.M. Brooks. If friends to lovers is your go to trope, go grab this book. How about enemies to lovers? Second chance romance? Romantic suspense? Go grab Warrior! It has all of that! 

Warrior begins by taking us back in time to when Colt was a child. We see his family, we meet one of his friends, and eventually we meet Lyric. Lyric just moved in across the street. Colt's world eventually gets just decimated. I can't think of another way to describe it. Two people that he loves have been taken away from him, and the third person has changed as well and not for the better. Lyric is there beside him through it all. That is until they go off to college. They had a plan. But plans change, hearts break, and relationships end. Flash forward 8 years, and they meet again. 

I feel like I've said a bit too much in that little recap, but hopefully not.

There are no words that can fully explain my love of this book! I was all in, and felt all the emotions. Lyric and Colt are just meant to be together. From their relationship in high school, to planning for their future at college, it was them taking the next step toward forever. When Colt changed all that, my heart sank. I was heart broken for both of them. There is so much I want to say, but can't because I don't want to ruin the story!  The journey back to each other was rocky, but you could feel the love between them. Add in the suspense aspect, and egads. WHAT A RIDE!  Now for me, I do wish that part of the story had been a bit longer, a bit more played out, but still, I loved it. 

If you're a romance reader and you have not read a book from the Salvation Society, I highly suggest you do. This 8th edition that has been releasing this week would be a fantastic place to start. Your emotions will go for quite a rollercoaster ride.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,

King's Legacy {a review}


Friends, this week Xavier Neal is releasing Wiz's Remedy, which is the fourth book in the Camelot Misfits MC series. So in preparation for that new release, I have decided to read the original three books. 

That's right, I'm diving in to King and Imani's story. If you would like to read my thoughts on King's Conquest, I shared that yesterday. (read it here)


Happy Wednesday!

If you read my thoughts on King's Conquest then you already know that we once again had one heck of a cliffhanger. You'll also know that I can't say a whole lot about the plot, because this is one continual story. So in other words, you have to read the books in order! Oh how I love book series!

King, Imani, and the rest of the Misfits are in the final part of their epic battle, and it's a wild ride. There is so much that happens! From the first page to the last I was hooked. In King's Legacy we find out how all of this plays out, and what exactly happens with Dread. We also get to see a glimpse into the future for King and Imani. 

I want to tell you so many things, but I can't. AHHHHHH!

Just know that storylines are wrapped up. King and Imani do get their happily ever after.

Read the series. Please. Then come find me so we can discuss through email or Facebook Messenger.

Thank you for reading my thoughts even though I couldn't tell you much,



Please scroll down a bit to read the teaser for King's Legacy. You'll also find links to connect with Xavier Neal, a link to add the book to your Goodreads TBR, and a link to purchase the book on Amazon. Now is the perfect time to start the series since Wiz's Remedy releases on May 13, 2021!


The final war has begun.

And the victors will be wearing Misfit patches.

The Misfits MC is known for maintaining the balance.

Providing common ground.

Protecting the innocent.

However, when Adonis "King" Arthur must face his past, present, and future, he's forced to realize there's no denying a certain truth that lies within his legendary legacy...

Shattered {a review}



Shattered by Bella Emy is the latest addition to the Salvation Society series. It just released today, and if friends to lovers is your favorite trope, then you're going to want to read Shattered. Or if second chance romance pulls at your heartstrings, then this book will have you covered.

Lexi and Kalen met in high school, and Kalen knew he wanted a relationship with Lexi almost immediately. Lexi on the other hand made him wait. As time goes on, their relationship builds, and they start dating. Kalen and Lexi grew up in different financial situations. Lexi's parents were well to do, and well Kalen just had his dad and they struggled. It didn't matter though because Kalen and Lexi loved each other. Or so Lexi believed. Instead her world was flipped upside down in an instant. Not only did her dad leave, but so did Kalen. Flash forward many years later, Lexi's broken heart still isn't fully mended, and it is at a wedding that she runs into Kalen.

If you know me, you know that I love a good second chance romance. Add in the friends to lovers trope and there is a solid chance I'll love the book. Such is the case with Shattered. I found myself upset when everything happened. I felt the nerves that Lexi was feeling at meeting up with Kalen at the wedding. I felt the breath that was released when things shifted back. Only then to have my heart crushed again when their point of struggle happened. Of course it all ends with an HEA, so all is good. 

At times I felt that too much time was spent discussing the past, but I can see why Bella Emy had that in there. It was to give us understanding as to why certain things happened. I do wish we would have been privy to the conversation between Lexi's Mom and Kalen. I do wish we had Kalen's explanation as to why he did what he did. I also felt the reconnection was a bit rushed, and there wasn't enough tension/groveling/emotion in that part of the book. Yes, we knew that Lexi was angry, but where was the fight between the two?

Still though, Shattered grabbed my heart. Kalen and Lexi are amazing together. I need to go look at other books by Bella Emy, because based on Shattered, I'm sure I'll enjoy her other books.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,
