Forced to run from her drug-dealing boyfriend, Neve ends up injured and alone in the middle of the Colorado wilderness. She never planned on being rescued by seven bikers and brought to their clubhouse. While the other bikers welcome a female presence, their leader, Charm, is not impressed. As Neve recuperates, she begins to see that there’s much more to this club president than she thought … possible. However, while she might’ve run, she can’t stay hidden forever.

Loved it! Now, this MC isn’t one of those super rough guns, drugs, human trafficking, anything that’s illegal kinda MCs. But I loved these guys. It really was like they were the seven dwarves. And I couldn’t help but love Neve too. She wasn’t whiny at all. She knew she screwed up, she knew the one path to redemption and she stuck to it. Really enjoyed this book. I will tell you, there aren’t too many sexytimez. The first time the main characters make a “lurv connection” is nearly 60% through the book. So, if you’re hoping for a ton of hotness, this book ain’t it. Otherwise, if you’d like a sweet MC romance? This is a great one!
Neve White is just another college student attempted to survive her first year of college. After failing in the first semester, with bad grades, she only thinks about how to keep her scholarship. And when she thinks that everything is lost, she receives an invitation to a party. That, together with some wrong decisions can change her life forever.
All that Kane Ryan, better known as Charm, the president of Scarred Savages MC, wanted was stay out of trouble. He tries to lead his select club and the city of K as best as he can. And everything seemed fine and under control. Until his brothers bring the beautiful and tormented pair of blue eyes that they found through the woods.
A great rereading of a classic. Neve is the true embodiment of the modern princess. She is not perfect, but she is a warrior. Even with the marks that life left her. Even when she reaches the bottom of the pit, she finds the strength to stand up and still touch the lives around her.
Charm is … Charm. Perfect in his imperfections. Irresistible even when stubborn and arrogant. Charming to the bone under all the traumas and losses of his past. The tenderness of the prince mingled with the strength of the warrior. Relentless when needed. Affectionate, despite all the whiskey and insults.
And the seven brothers in the club? Wonderful. The best seven older brothers anyone could ever have. The narrative brings secrets, a hint of suspense, tenderness and provocations that give it dynamicity and make it addictive. In the good sense.
Near the end there is drama and action. The turnaround brings revelations of the present and the past that affect not only Neve, but the whole club. But until all the facts are clarified there is much loss, anguish and suffering.
Despite the seemingly worn-out theme of fairy tales, the book turns out to be a great engaging reading, even with all its cliches. After all, who said cliches are bad?
There are so many good things I want to say about this author but the one thing that stands out is all her books are great and can be read over and over again!
This was an MC romance loosely based on the fairytale Snow White and the seven dwarves.
This is still a contemporary, not a fantasy this just incorporates some of the fairytale with vague parallels.
Neve is left for dead by her drug-dealer boyfriend in the woods.
Found by the Scarred Savages MC who she nicknames sleepy, grumpy etc they take her back to there clubhouse and to Charm their President.
Neve is a coke addict so even though Charm doesn’t want her there mainly because of his past they detox her.
Against his better judgement, he allows her to stay if she cooks and cleans for them and she integrates herself into the club.
So this was enjoyable but I have a few issues that spoilt this for me.
I sometimes felt peoples reactions here just didn’t make a whole lot of sense especially charm who did give very mixed signals and had a tendency to spit his dummy out when things didn’t go his way.
Then there were things like Neves inheritance surely you would know what your parents had left you in there will even if it was in a trust because of your addiction I would think you would still be informed of this by a lawyer.
It was just a combination of several picky things that for me started to mount up and let this down.
Add in the whole coma thing which I really hated like a lot and I was done.
I did still enjoy this to a point but it had some definite issues for me that spoilt things somewhat.

This book is Flipping Phenomenal. I had so many emotions while reading this book. I laughed, I cried and I smiled while reading this book. Never and Charms characters are written very well as all the other characters. A beautiful heartfelt happy ever after ending. Can’t wait to read more in this series.
Through the Woods by Shannon Myers a five star-read that you will take you to a fairy-tale far away. I have taken a couple of days to do this review as I didn’t know what to say, I couldn’t do the story justice, I made a very loud squeal (scaring my husband half to death) when I saw a message to check my kindle and saw this pop up and despite a message making sure I knew it wasn’t another Renegade series book (Amazing series by the author in case you haven’t read it yet, please do its proper amazing!!) So I went into it thinking I’m sure it will be great, but you never know. I’m now left wondering how to do the book justice with my review.
It was such a great story, there are twists and drama a plenty and much like the fairy tale that the story has some similarities with it will stand the test of time, seven bikers and one woman, I was thinking it was going to be a certain genre that seems to be very popular at the moment but it wasn’t, the seven bikers all have their own story to tell and I sure hope they will get the chance to tell it as this is the first book of the Fairest series, so maybe we will get to them all.
Neve was a character that shows us how no matter how hard you try or how intelligent you are, life can still throw a curveball and have you making a decision that will change your life in ways you wouldn’t recognise. The description of Charm made me chuckle and blush, as characters they were so well written, the story unfolded and explained things at a great pace. Neve may have been beaten down but she was never portrayed as down trodden, just a girl who made the wrong decision and faced the consequences of life.
I could write hundreds of more words about how the other characters have hidden depths how you will fall in love with each and everyone but you need to pick the book up and read that instead. All I will say is that each character will touch you in their own way, and each of them will leave you with a little something. This book will be one I will re-read frequently and will always have a place in my top reads. I don’t think I can say a big enough thank you for Shannon for writing these amazing words.
I cannot even begin to describe how devastatingly incredible this book is! Through the Woods was a pure hit of overwhelming, chaotic emotions and unimaginable situations that leaves you craving for more!
To be completely honest, what really attracted me to this book was the sucker-punch to the ovaries, smoking-hot cover. I one-clicked this book so fast I gave myself whiplash. Then come to find out the true contents of the storyline, and I was addicted. I haven’t read a good MC romance for awhile now. But at the astounding level at which Through the Woods was written, this book blows other MC novels right out of the water.
Everything about this book was brilliantly portrayed. This isn’t the type of romance for everyone…it delves into the darkness of drug addiction and violence, provoking strong emotions from the reader. The character dynamic between the large cast sparks intense loyalty and devotion. Each relationship serves a purpose in the storyline, and weaves an intriguing and deep bond between reader and novel.
I’m not going to say much more about this book other than READ IT. Read it, be consumed by it, revel in its powerful and climactic storyline, and fall in love with a man fighting hard to overcome his past and a woman battling for a new future…it’s one book you do not want to pass up.
5+ Stars!
