“Lexi brought silence to the nagging in my mind, deviating my thoughts from darkness to her. I was consumed by my Spitfire, needing to be near her every waking moment.”
Just like everyone else, I’ve been waiting for Razor and Lexi’s story. While this book can be read as a standalone, I do recommend you read the other books in the series. Not only is it a good series but there is a bit of history between Lexi and Razor. Although this book does show you some of it, the build up that we got in the other books is the reason why so many of us have been waiting for their story.
Razor’s history is embedded with the Scorpio Stinger MC. He is related to the current president and he believes that he rightful has a change to take over one day. The main problem with that is that some people don’t really believe in him. He’s hot headed and his temper can get the best of him. Surprisingly, there’s one person that can calm him. He’s wanted her the second she started working at the MC bar. They have a past and have hooked up but she’s pining after his VP, Ryder. Will he be able to show her that he’s the man for her or will he have to give her up?
Lexi’s past has caused her to seriously guard her heart. She’s one feisty girl and she’s as wild as they come. She can’t and won’t be caged. She lives her life with the freedom that she so desperately seeks. Although she’s made it known that she wants one particular man, Razor seems to be getting under her skin. She fights everything that is Razor yet he somehow keeps her attention. Sometimes the good kind attention. Sometimes the bad kind of attention. Will she get the one man that she’s been chasing after or will Razor be able to win her heart?
This story had the perfect mix of the MC danger, hardcore members and love. The suspense was there but what I really enjoyed was how much of a badass Lexi is. She’s feisty and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. I also like that she’s kind of one of the boys. She can hang with the men like the boss that she is.
I also enjoyed how much Razor knew what he wanted and he went after it. I enjoyed how cocky he was and how he knew exactly what to do in order to push Lexi’s buttons. You see him becoming more of the leader in this book that he always knew he would be yet we get to see his vulnerable side. His soft spot for Lexi was heartwarming. Add the fact that he has one hell of a mouth on him. and you’ve got one desirably dark and delicious man.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was exactly what I needed for Lexi and Razor’s story. You don’t want to miss out on this couple. Trust me.
This is one of those books that I find hard to review. I’ve really enjoyed the previous books in this series- I’ve loved Ryder and Jade and Cobra and Mia. And I really like Razor’s character. But I kind of felt a disconnect between him and Lexi. More specifically Lexi. If I’m being honest I really did not like her right from the beginning. I didn’t like how she treated Razor, at all. And while I warmed up slightly towards her in the end, in my eyes I don’t feel she ever fully redeemed herself for things she did and how she acted. I would have liked to have seen more growth from her character.
Both Razor and Lexi are complex characters. Their upbringings caused quite a bit of damage to each of them, leaving them both feeling unworthy of being loved. Razor has always been kind of in the background, overshadowed by both Cobra and Ryder. But he’s come to the point where he’s tired of being the forgotten man- he’s ready to make some changes and prove his worth as an important member of the Scorpio Stingers. On top of that, he’s tired of waiting around for Lexi to get over her unrequited crush on an unattainable man, so he’s out to show her he’s the man for her.
Lexi has always wanted the one man she could never have, but that hasn’t stopped her from pining after him, even after she knows she’ll never have a chance. Girl, sometimes you just have to cut your losses!
Shoot the Moon is darker and grittier than the other books in this series. But at the heart of it is the love story between Razor and Lexi. Theirs is not an easy love story, nor is it a conventional one by any means. But for these 2 people, who feel so undeserving of love, it just fit. Sometimes it just takes one act, one little moment, to show you what’s been right in front of you all along.
