Words almost fail me y’all! And that’s effin’ hard to do cause I got tons of shit to say. Lol
This book. Holy Hell! THIS FREAKIN BOOK!! JUST DAMN Y”ALL, JUST DAMN
Talk about lies and consequences, and buried secrets coming out with a vengeance. This book was jammed packed. From moment to moment I didn’t know what in the world to expect next.
Just that…I was tempted to add double sided Velcro to my kindle and my lap to protect the innocent kindle from getting chunked across the room in a moment of frustration. This book had so many moments where I was like “Raven Nooooo” or “Maddoc just hang in there, it’s probably not what your thinking. Hold on, Big Man. ” Yeah, that kinda frustrating moments. Unselfishly because of their need to forever sacrificially protect each other, the bond between these four would be put to the ultimate test more than ever in this book.
“They don’t make me weak, Graven. They make me unstoppable.”
I can say much more because I don’t want to give ANYTHING about this book away. This was so worth the wait. It was great to see Raven step into the role she was born for and Reign over her Kingdom! It was definitely scary for a minute, wondering who would be there alongside our fair queen, but I had faith.
“Only a true leader stands for, with, and against others when they sense it’s needed.” “Like you guys do.”
READ THIS BOOK, THIS SERIES. Can’t wait for more!!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!
My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
-.This was the conclusion I had been waiting for and it couldn’t have been better it was pure perfection and I CANNOT WAIT for Captain and Royce’s book! I love my Brayshaw’s
– This one didn’t have near the scenes as Trouble in Brayshaw but the ones that were there were smokin’ hot y’all , but it was jammin’ with action and crazy shit happening.
Cliffhanger Warning- Not a Cliffhanger on this one, but… it leaves the door open for the rest of the books in the series. However you could stop after this book because it did have a happy ending. BUT I promise you are NOT going to want to stop!
If you’re ready to die a slow death by the hands of Meagan Brandy, go ahead, READ the conclusion to Raven and Maddoc’s story. If you want to live, well, READ the damn book. Live or die you HAVE TO to read it. Okay…
***
A mess. That is what I was when I read Reign. A mess. That was when I finished it. A mess. That is what I will continue to be until I get my next Meagan Brandy fix. This book is every single thing we love about the Brayshaw world. It’s angsty. Full of twists. Drama. Heart-stopping moments. I HATE YOU MEAGAN BRANDY moments. I love you Maddoc moments. I’ll kick you in the nuts, MadDick moments… I couldn’t put the book down. The author kept me at the edge the whole time, never letting my mind rest. I’m speechless. Reign of Brayshaw crashed all my expectations and became easily one of the best reads of 2019. I cannot wait for Cap’s and Royce’s stories!
FINAL RATING: 6 stars
Meagan dangles the world in front of us then she blows it to pieces as we reach for it; Reign is without a doubt the most emotional, wildest and BEST ride yet with our Brayshaw crew. From the first word until the last; Reign had my complete attention. I pulled an all-nighter to finish because once I started I could not turn my mind off, I needed it all.
I was on the edge of my seat constantly! I cried, I yelled, I wanted to throw things yet even with all these insane feelings…she still created so many more moments that made me smile. Most of all I hurt for them and I wanted to hug them all constantly! Each and every single character….well minus a select few. If I thought I loved these characters before and that those feelings couldn’t get any deeper Meagan Brandy just proved me wrong with Reign!
I love book series and the Brayshaw series has been nothing short of amazing to read! Now that I’ve finished it, I want it back..I need them back! A reread will be happening very soon! Reign is absolutely EVERYTHING!
**My full review will be posted once the book is LIVE on October 3rd!
This book is as dramatic as the cover! I’m left speechless! Every single theory I had blown to smithereens! The amount of secrets revealed left my head spinning and I had to step away several times to process. My heart shattered over and over. I cursed and my gut twisted. This is a series you’ll need to read a few times to grasp the full impact of the enormous bombs that are dropped. Well played Brayshaw! Mind blown, hearts obliterated, bodies destructed, palaces destroyed, kingdoms overthrown!
Reign of Brayshaw is not simply a fictional story. It has become a part of my heart and soul. Meagan Brandy has curved every single emotion deep in my heart with her incredible words. The connection I felt with the boys and their queen is above and beyond anything I ever had. It is crazy. It is obsessive. It is illogical yet it makes perfect sense. Otherwise how could I bleed for their pain, laugh with their happiness and want to fight their demons? This is the power of an extraordinary and life changing story that made me live the emotions, not just read the words.
This story was difficult for me on so many levels. The angst. The shocking revelations. The hurt. The battles of will and power. The overwhelming feelings I am still processing. I had to stop so many times because I could not handle it. Raven is learning secrets one after another and she has to be strong. The boys have to choose one family over another. And trust me your heart is going to be ripped out of your chest, stomped over and shredded into millions of tiny pieces. Because there was no other way around the hell. The story line is beyond complicated and just genius. I was on the edge of my seat all the way. I can only say that you will survive it but feel the aftermath for years. The writing in this story is pure poetry. It gave me goosebumps and chills. It gave me all.the.feels. It is the kind of story that will make you want to kill the author. It is so hard when you feel so much!
I have excess of emotions in my chest about everyone in this story. Every woman needs a Raven in herself. This girl inspires me more than real life people. She is powerful, strong, defiant, trouble and everything you can imagine. But she is also pain, hurt and vulnerability. This balance never stopped astounding me. The hell Meagan put her and Maddock through was just cruel. Captain’s loyalty and internal turmoil squeezed my heart painfully. And so did Royce’s trouble. But nothing, I mean absolutely nothing could prepare me for Maddoc’s heartbreak and pain. This man broke me down and I was an emotional mess. I cheered them, I celebrated their win, mourned their loss and I am proud of these guys. I lived every moment with them and if anyone tries to convince me otherwise, I don’t care.I will miss the guys terribly and I could only breathe easy as I know more is going to come.
The Brayshaw High series by Meagan Brandy is a legend for me. This book changed the romance world in not so subtle way. Reign of Brayshaw has only consolidated the place. I am extremely lucky and honoured that I read this revolutionary phenomenon.
Received ARC for Honest review
OH MY GOODNESS! Meagan Brandy is a dang genius. The Brayshaw High series is downright ADDICTING. The boys are smexy jerkholes and Raven is one of the fiercest heroines I’ve ever read about. If I could live in any author’s brain for a day, I would have a hard time choosing between JK Rowling and Meagan Brandy. Reign of Brayshaw was packed full of drama, action, and romance. It was a wild ride that held me captive with my heart in my throat the entire time. It wasn’t a roller coaster because that would imply there were ups and downs. This book just kept climbing and never stopped. I can’t wait to get my hands on Royce and Captains books and revist my favorite boys.
I voluntarily received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What the hell did I just read?!?!?! So many plots and twists that had me going “OMFG!!” Raven Carver Brayshaw is the ultimate bada$$ chick! I forget that this group are still seniors in high school. This series is so f*&#ing good!! BUT, now I want to know what Royce was doing for the week on his own. Why was Victoria still at the group home when she knew . . . . . . ??? So many questions that I need more books!!!!!!!
Oh…..my……God……
Y’all! I don’t even know where to start. My head is spinning, my head exploding and my heart beating so hard I feel my chest will explode. This has to got to be one of the best books I ve EVER read. It’s raw, gritty and amazing.
With this being the third book in the series we get so much information, so many of our questions are answered and things are thrown at you that you had no clue of. I’m speechless and I’m excited. Reign of Bradshaw is so freaking good and deserves so much more then my review can give it. Outstanding Meagan outstanding!!!

Oh man.
Reign of Brayshaw is a wild ride.
An unpredictable runaway train of angst, surprise, and strength. The shock factor is EPIC with this book. It is everything I could have hoped for. It’s angsty and sexy and shocking, and every bit the nail-biting, hair-pulling, “wth how did we get here” kind of epic conclusion we were all wanting for Rae and Maddox’s finale.
Just within the prologue it became obvious that Meagan had some serious tricks up her sleeve, but I never could have anticipated what was delivered. My mind was blown multiple times over the course of this book. For real, BOBH and TABH were TAME in comparison to Reign. You think books 1 and 2 ended with mic drops? Just. Wait.
I’ll be honest, at one point, I started struggling with the chaos, I was empathizing IMMENSELY with the characters, and I started to doubt Meagan’s ability to pull it all off. At times it seemed out of control. I was confused and frustrated, my heart ached for Raven and the boys, and it felt like it was only a matter of pages before the whole story jumped the rails and everyone died in a tragic and fiery explosion of literary proportions.
“How are you going to fix this, Meagan?” I mumbled over and over.
Every few pages came another subtle hint, another breadcrumb, another revelation, another bomb. I was a half-step behind at almost every turn, and I was TERRIFIED.
But guys, in the end, Meagan delivered, and I WILL NEVER DOUBT HER AGAIN. She may have had me on the verge of a break down for a large percentage of the book, but she left me feeling joy and contentment. It is the perfect finale for to Rae and Maddoc’s story, and the perfect segue into the next wave of Bray books.
Through all the chaos and turmoil, our queen stands tall and shines brightly. Raven is every bit the sassy, fierce heroine we need her to be, and we get some dazzling character growth and maturity along with it. She evolves from Project Princess to Defiant Brayshaw Queen, a fierce pillar of strength, and her character arc is STELLAR.
The boys are more swoony and broody than ever, and you’ll come away even more in love with them (didn’t think it was possible, right?). The angst is palpable, the passion and determination is visible in every scene, and the relationships are awe-inspiring. I adore the family Meagan Brandy molds with these characters, and I’m totally invested in each of them. I can’t wait for more Brayshaw, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I eventually get a Bass Bishop book, too!
This book. This SERIES. This girl gang and family band of misfits that Meagan creates? Five stars for sure, and the series is a top recommendation from me!
WOW! I just..WOW. I feel like I’ve just gone 10 rounds with one of the worlds best emotional boxers. “Emotional Roller Coaster” does NOT even begin to describe this book; ALL THE FEELS! So Meagan Brandy… here is my bruised and battered heart; I’m dead after finishing Reign of Brayshaw so I don’t need it anymore…this book..this series…I’ll never be over it.
Anything you thought you knew before reading book three, any ideas that you thought you might have about what might happen next…just forget all of it! I did not see any of that coming..I was not prepared. Not. One. Bit! Raven, Big Man && the Boys go through it in book three…..I cried, I laughed, I cried some more, then I threw my kindle . I really cannot put into words how absolutely remarkable this book is; from beginning to end you will literally be on the edge of your seat with your heart ready to pound out of your chest. Reign of Brayshaw was just EVERYTHING! And that ending?!?! I cannot wait for Cap’s book…I’m dead.
There is just such a realness..a uniqueness with these characters & their story that your there with them going thru it all by their side and I can honestly say that the Brayshaw Series will forever be one of my absolute favorites.

“With love, comes sacrifice.”
What would you do for the one’s that you love? I can’t say much without spoiling this book so I will keep my review short. From the very beginning my heart was in my throat. All the theories could not have prepared me for this book. Expect the unexpected…the unthinkable betrayal and times it by infinity. I had tears in my eyes for a lot of this book and my heart hurt for everyone. It is filled with pain, angst and confusion but underneath it all is love. I am not ready for Rae and Maddoc’s story to be over but I’m extremely excited for what is to come next. I definitely recommend this book and series.
“It’s been a helluva year, I’m ready for a helluva future”
What’s a Queen without her King?
This story was so bittersweet! Filled with jaw-dropping moments. You never see the twists coming. It continues to be a story you can’t put down. You will be on the edge of your seat as secrets are revealed. I gotta say I still can’t choose. I’m so glad we will see more of these characters in future books. Somebody got their HEA and we are given closure but there is so much more of the story as we follow other characters on their journeys. This series did not disappoint. I recommend it to everyone the storyline is super heavy it has so much depth.
Meagan Brandy
3.5 Reign Stars
Picking up where Trouble at Brayshaw left off, Meagan Brandy wastes no time putting pieces together and creating more questions (that do get answered) and debunking some of the theories I had along the way. The Prologue is perfect and gives a great set-up for the story to unfold.
There is no doubt Boys of Brayshaw High and Trouble at Brayshaw must be read before starting Reign of Brayshaw. You’ll need as much background as you can muster. Of course, Raven and her boys are at the center of the storm, but there are certain players that have important roles. And this is definitely Raven and Maddoc’s love story. They won’t have it easy. Twists, turns, heartbreak, sacrifice, loyalty, family first and love trumps all. It’s more than I expected and exactly what this family deserved.
Where do I even begin with this book. If I could give it more than 5 stars , I would in a heart beat. So, 5 stars for Reign of Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy. This is book 3 in The Brayshaw High series and is also the last book in Maddoc and Raven’s story. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review but let me be honest I am also going to buy the paperback as soon as it is available. I love this series, it is everything I didn’t know I needed in my life. This is a series I will read and re-read multiple times. OK now to the nitty gritty. For those of you that don’t read the prologue, you must read this one. I promise it is going to make sense when you read it. This book picks up right where we were left at the end of book two.
I do not want to give anything away so I am going to say in the beginning it was tragically beautiful , in the middle devastatingly heartbreaking, and then it was fantastically epic. My emotions where all over the place, at multiple times I wanted to throw my kindle, then I wanted to punch Maddoc, then Captain , then Raven. Next thing I know I am crying , then cheering on the bada** that is Raven. She is truly one of my favorite heroines out of any story I have ever read. She knows what she needs to do and what she wants.
“Kings have been named, kingdoms set. But it all comes down to the power of the queen, doesn’t it?”
All of the questions you have asked will be answered .
Ok so that is all I am going to give you about the story . You will have to read it to get the scope of how truly epic this story is. I would also like to note that this cover is amazing. The colors, Raven with the crown, really just all of it is fantastic and eye catching. Great job on everything Meagan Brandy. I can nor wait to read Captain and Royce’s stories.
5 stars.
5 Mother Fucking Stars!!!!
Reign of Brayshaw. The conclusion to Raven and Maddoc’s story. I have emotionally suffered to get to this book. Why have I emotionally suffered?
1. Have you read any of Meagan’s words?
* Follow-up to question #1 if your answer is no: where the fuck have you been?
2. …
Really that’s all that needs to be asked.
“How much more twisted this shit get?”
No truer words could of been said. Brandy more than delivered with Reign of Brayshaw, Raven and Maddoc were everything. I repeat everything. With how my emotions were all over the fucking place, I’m amazed that I didn’t looks my voice with how many times I yelled, “NO FUCKING WAY!” There is no amount of re-reads of the first two books that could of been done to come fucking close to preparing me for this author’s torture. And I use the word torture very loosely. Brandy basically we, “How can I fuck my readers minds up with this one?” Well I hope your proud of yourself Brandy, cause you royally fucked with my mind repeatedly while I was reading. And it was because of this I will bow down and say it was worth the wait.
The world of adult life took a backseat while I was reading this. There was no fucking way I could be held responsible to do anything remotely important while I was engrossed in the world of Maddoc and Raven. Fuck it can be said that its a good thing I wasn’t around young children because of the amount of times the word “FUCK” left my mouth.
I already said Raven and Maddoc were everything. Well I can’t forget Captain, Royce, Victoria, and Bass, and maybe Chloe. They all were more than I could of even imagined. Call me a bookwhore, but I can’t pick only one of the Brayshaw guys. I want them all. And he’ll Raven completely holds her own. She is a true Queen, and she lets everyone know it.
“A crooked crown is still a crown…”
In no way is her story and easy one, but she owns it, and kicks life’s mother fucking ass with her boys help. Because she’s Brayshaw. And to the Brayshaw’s “family runs deeper than blood.”
Fuck I can’t wait to get Captain’s and then Royce’s book. I just know that theirs are going to leave me bleeding out on the floor.
Wow!
Meagan sure knows how to end things with a bang. I wasn’t sure what to expect in this final installment, but I had no doubt Meagan would put us through the ringer and she certainly did.
It goes without saying you have to read the first two books in this series in order to follow the storyline. There are so many pieces to the puzzle where Raven and the boys were concerned. Who can you trust?! What secrets will be revealed? It’s definitely a rollercoaster of a ride!
Congrats on a successful series!
Wow, on top of wow, on top of wow!!! I honestly can not describe the emotions that you will experience while reading this book. It is one heck of a roller coaster ride that doesn’t stop. Even the last page had me sitting there with my mouth open. (No, it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger. It just sets up the next book.)
My chest hurt. I kept holding my breath. Every time I thought I had something figured out, the complete opposite would happen. I wanted to read this book in one day, but there are some books that you just want to savor! I kept making myself quit because I didn’t want to greatness to end!
If you haven’t read Boys of Brayshaw and Trouble at Brayshaw yet, you must read those first.
Raven finds out so many new secrets, grows even stronger, and honestly is the most loyal and understanding person ever. She has found her place and isn’t willing to let anyone stand in her way for long.
Maddoc was just broken throughout most of the book. He absolutely broke my heart seeing him suffer, but it had to happen.
This couple had their devotion and strength tested beyond extremes in this book. You will honestly feel your heart being ripped out of your chest, and slowly be put back together as the events unfold. Even as things start looking up for the couple, twists, turns, and secrets being revealed make their progress take two steps back.
As much as it saddens me that their story has ended, I feel like there is going to just as much madness, excitement, and greatness in the next books!

“Nobody could predict or prepare for the strength behind four fused souls.”
An explosive end to a rare gem of a series with some of my favorite characters that I’ve read in a while!! Raven stole the show, had me filled with evil grins and spontaneous cheers as her bada88ery left me both euphoric and devastated that I won’t ever read something this good for the first time ever again. These three books have twisted my heart, twisted my brain, and made Brayshaw a place that will stay with me long after the giddiness of finishing wears off, if it ever does. The characters’ cockiness and charisma is only overshadowed by their fierce dedication to each other that left me breathless, up well into the night pouring through the twists, the turns, the jaw drops, and the sheer and utter surprises around every turn. You thought you had it figured out from Books 1 and 2, but you will be sadly mistaken!!! It will take you by storm, run you ragged, and leave you wanting more!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

“A Crooked Crown is still a Crown, right?” Raven Carver
When I first read Boys of Brayshaw when it released early this year, I knew that I had found a hidden gem in author Meagan Brandy. She was relatively new to me and bully romance was really gaining a following so I figured I’d check it out. I fell in love with Raven and the boys immediately and began exhibiting symptoms of Brayshaw Fever… well soon it turned into a full-blown epidemic… and here we are now… Reign of Brayshaw.
This book!!!! The feels y’all!! It was everything and more that we could have ever wanted from Meagan. This is the final book for Raven and Maddoc but not the end of our beloved Brayshaw Clan. This book was a roller-coaster y’all… I’m talking like the tallest, scariest, fastest roller-coaster. I think I got whiplash at least a dozen times with how many loops were thrown at us. As with the previous books, Raven is a complete Queen and isn’t going to let anyone walk all over her. She fights hard in this book. She is determined to protect her boys at all cost, even if it kills her.
There’s a lot of things I didn’t see coming. The element of surprise is real with this book. The answer readers have wanted, they will finally get. I think Maddoc really showed another side of himself that we’ve never seen. He’s strong but he’s weak too. We see that in this book which makes me love our bad boy even more than I thought I could. Captain is… I can’t even begin to describe my affections for him. I’ve loved him since the beginning and will always be a fan and can’t wait to see what lies in his future. Royce, our sweet yummy man brings some chuckles when needed for sure.
Shout out to the secondary characters that have been with us along the way too! They each really helped fill in the blanks in a lot of dark areas.
Anyway, I’m rambling because I don’t want to give anything away but I loved this book and found it the perfect ending for our King and Queen… I cannot wait to see glimpses of them in future books!
5 stars!
