Search My Soul

Rate this book
As the leader of the Taylor Gang, Soul Taylor’s only concerns are his family, his money, and eliminating anyone who threatens his way of life. Love was never on the table for him, but life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect them. A one-night stand with a beautiful “stranger” turns into a love story that he never saw coming. She shows how intoxicating love can be when you lay it all on the line and allow someone to know the real you. Everything seemed to be coming together for him, until the answers to a recent robbery led him to an unexpected place.

When Neeya Carter meets Soul Taylor, his love is everything she never thought was possible. Coming from a loveless family, Neeya finds it hard to trust that it’s safe to let her guard down, but the smooth-talking menace leaves her no choice. Neeya knows all too well how a dysfunctional family can be, but when her father makes a deadly gamble with the wrong people, she’s left scrambling to find a way to save the ones she loves. Desperate for money, she takes on an “easy lick” that proves to be far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Guilt and fear have her looking over her shoulders, but what she doesn’t realize is that the person she’s running from is right in front of her face.

Uncovered secrets threaten to crumble the very foundation Soul and Neeya have worked so hard to build, and when tragedy strikes, the two of them find themselves picking up the pieces of their broken hearts. When it comes to love, there are no rules and no blueprint. You may not always get it right the first time or even the second, but when it’s real, it’s powerful enough to rebuild in even the darkest of places. Will Soul and Neeya’s love be able to withstand the test of time, or will the damage from their past become too much to repair?

This was too good!! Soul was crazyyyy but I love him real bad!! This story was so well written & literally kept me on my toes from the very first chapter!! This book took me for a ride!! Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen things took a turn & went in the complete opposite direction! There were some heavy topics like mental health & processing grief but it flowed into the storyline effortlessly! This was definitely my favorite book in the series!!

wow 😮

I haven’t left a review in so long, but this 👏🏾 book 👏🏾 right 👏🏾 here 👏🏾😮‍💨. Neeya and Soul’s story had me crying real tears, I mean boo-hooing. It was an emotional roller coaster, but i didn’t want to get off. I couldn’t put it down. Kami is becoming a favorite. Let me go make sure I’ve read everything in her catalog. Is Duke and Patience’s story up next? Or Pure? Cuz I need him to get a HEA. I don’t even care who’s on deck next, I’ll be reading. This series is 🔥

Blown away…

Kami never disappoint but my God this book took me on a rollercoaster. I knew Soul’s story would be everything, yet, it was so much more!

Neeya (aka Juicy) has been doing it on her own for a minute. Her mother is a demon and her father enables the mother’s behavior. So, making money meant stripping until she could make her dreams come true.

Soul runs the Taylor Organization with his brother, Pure. He also owns his own mechanic shop, which is his passion project.

What they thought would be a one time encounter, quickly turns into more when they keep having these run ins.

While I laughed so much through this read, I also shed many tears. This story grabbed me by my hair and would not let me go.

Soul is complex with a great sense of humor. Juicy saw into him and knew his true self. He loved her unconditionally and was incredibly loud about it. He never played about her. However, life threw them so many curve balls, you’d think they would never recover. Kami, this story is so beautiful and raw. I just know Pure’s book will finish me in the worst way.

All the feels

Phew! The amount of tears I shed should be studied. This book was everything I needed and then some. Love isn’t always an easy road to travel but when you have real love and support from family and friends you can walk through hell and come back out! I’m so glad they made it through the chaos and got back to the love and peace. Well done Kami!

Alll Gas!

Listen I could tell you how much the book made me laugh, cry , curse, and almost hyperventilate , because put her whole soul into Soul’s book! This book snatches you up by your shirt and doesn’t let go!!! I have never wanted to see two people win more than I wanted Soul and Neeya to win. This is absolutely great storytelling

😭 An Emotional Rollercoaster for Real

5/5⭐️

This book had me in my feelings bad 😣. It was heavy, emotional, and tugged at my heartstrings the whole way through. I’m glad Soul and Juicy got their happy ending because they really earned it, and I’m hoping we get Pure’s story one day 🤞🏾📖

Soul Taylor and Neeya Carter

Soul and Neeya took me through it, you hear me? That one-night stand had Soul searching for her like a man with a flashlight in broad daylight. Neeya was such a beautiful soul an amazing friend to Normandee and Puma and they loved her just as fiercely as she let them. She was bullheaded, independent, and too proud to ever feel like a burden. Her mama? She deserves a special place in hell for the pain she caused. Now Soul… whew. A man with a big heart, but even bigger demons. My heart broke for him feeling disconnected from his siblings and carrying loss after loss until he hit rock bottom. But through it all, they never gave up on each other. Love truly won in the end. I do wish we saw more of Puma’s gift, especially since she saw Soul’s downfall before it even happened. Still, the way Soul and Neeya fought hard and loved harder made that happily ever after hit even sweeter.

Soul Searching

Whew. Kami girl. You did it with this. Soul was such a layered character. I loved how you showed us all sides of him—the good, bad, ugly, and down right crazy. He was holding onto so much grief, uncertainty about his mental health, feeling forgotten about by family, and so much more. The man needed a love that could handle all that he was. Neeya was just the person for the job. She was accepting of everything that Soul was and that was really what he needed. Her parents were selfish and didn’t deserve to get off as easy as they did for all the pain they caused. However, I understand not diving more into that storyline—those folks were not gonna change. While these two took me through a range of emotions, I’m happy things played out the way they did. Also, the friends and family dynamics were out of this world.

Now on to other things. Pure clearly has some things to get off his chest, so when he’s ready to let me in I’ll be all ears.

Good Book

Search My Soul was good — I read it in one sitting. I almost DNF’d it twice, but I’m glad I pushed through because it really picked up around the 30% mark and stayed intense all the way to the end. Even with the sad, heavy moments, I loved how deeply emotional it got.

Some chapters did feel a little disjointed, almost contradicting things from earlier chapters as Soul and Neeya were coming together, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience too much.

I enjoyed seeing the darker side of Soul after everything he’d been through, and watching Neeya stand strong beside him — along with his family and friends — to pull him back from that darkness. It definitely brought me to tears.

I do wish we got an extended epilogue, but I was happy with the ending we did get.

Whew, a powerful read!

Where do I start? First, as always Kami delivered a beautiful story and left me speechless. The characters, the plot everything was beyond amazing. I felt for both Neeya and Soul. He had his flaws but seeing him break down broke my heart. I'm glad his family and Neeya didn't give up on him. I hated Neeya's parents with a passion but it showed you can love someone and want them to love you back but they will also be selfish. I'm glad she found a family in the Taylors. No relationship is perfect but Soul and Neeya were the best example of "If you love something let it go and if it comes back it's meant to be." Thank you Kami for blessing us with another great story. You are beyond talented!

Search My Soul (Taylor Family Saga Book 3)

Soul is everything! Kami, Ms. Girl, you did your big one with this book. Soul, is by far, my favorite gangsta of all time.

He is intense, deadly, and definitely unhinged, but Soul has a heart of gold. It's family and those he loves over everything. He had some dark moments, and Then I didn't think he was going to make it. I also was afraid that he wouldn't get his happy ending, however Juicy nor his family was having that.

They made sure that Soul knew that he was loved and needed. Finally, he realized it also.

This was an amazing book. I enjoyed every minute and moment. I clutched my imaginary pearls, laughed, and cried. It was very well worth it!!!

A Beautiful Rollercoaster

This book had so many ups and downs that it literally keeps you gasping for theeeee whole 600 plus pages. Just when you think you’ve hit the climax you plummet down, just to come back up. I loved that Kami took her time with this and didn’t rush it. We got to see the main characters through different seasons which allowed for so much character development. It was nice to see Soul’s sisters step up for Neeya regardless of their relationship status, and see her get to have the family support that she never received from her family. The amount of betrayal on both sides was crazy and I’m glad they were ultimately able to find their way back to each other and get their HEA. I can’t wait to read about the rest of the Taylor family.

614 Pages of Pure Substance (and Zero Fluff)!

Wow! Search My Soul truly lived up to its title. This book dives deep into the heaviest of emotional themes, such as grief, loss, sexual abuse, and mental health with incredible raw honesty. Despite the immense trauma Soul and Neeya endured, I loved that Kami chose to write their connection through a lens of genuine healing and love rather than a trauma bond. What began as intense lust evolved into a passionate love that neither felt worthy of, making their journey feel earned and deeply moving. Even at 614 pages, the plot is so well-constructed and full of twists that it never feels like "fluff." It is an engaging, meaningful read that is absolutely worth your time. Just know I stayed up the entire night to finish the book!

whew

I there’s something about a book. That can make you yell, scream, cry, cuss, laugh,fallout on the floor, and then ugly cry some more! And this was that kind of book! From the very beginning I knew this was going to be one for the books! That I was about to experience something raw and deep! And she didnt disappoint! She wrote a book full of dynamic complex characters! That pull you in and have you clutching your pearls and on the edge of your seat until the very end! She put her all in this one! She left no crumbs! Sensational definitely in my top for favorites this year!

Book of the year!

As I’ve delved into this series, I wasn’t expecting for it to have this range of motion. No matter what you think you know about these men, nothing will prepare you for the layers better known as Soul. This has all the feels of romance with an urban twist that at times will have your jaw on the floor, your eyes flooded with tears, and your soul moving from the multitude of topics, thoughts and emotions explored between these pages. I’m astounded and invested.

Search my soul (Taylor family saga book 3)

This was a great story with action, deaths and revenge for the family. For the family to be top of the food chains, why didn't the brothers have security for all the females in the family? Soul should have had someone following his girl because she was pregnant with his son. I'm so glad for rehab because it worked for him twice. But Juicy mom wasn't nothing but a pimp and I'm so glad she had great friends and a great support team who believed in her.

A Journey

Soul and Juicy...this was intense. Sometimes it's all about the journey, and this was definitely one of those times. I thought that the previous books were something, but no one could have prepared me for what was the Soul and Juicy show. These two were hit with so many things that would definitely made weaker individuals say forget this. Their tether, the connection was far too strong. While I found myself questioning some things in the story I found myself saying ok, this is part of the journey. Happy Reading Y'all!💋

This book had me shedding some tears. I wish that Neeya's parents would've gotten their comeuppance because they sucked, especially the mother. Boy the ups and downs in this book was something else and the way Soul was scarred by betrayals and death you just knew something was gonna screw up their relationship. Happy to see how Neeya fought to make sure he was taking care of his mental health because the way that he felt since he was aam he had to keep everything in was very unhealthy

3.5⭐️ The first few chapters were a bit choppy. I questioned whether or not the characters knew each other too often. Also, the plot with Neeya’s family was a driving force in the beginning then somehow never mentioned again until 80% of the book was over. I forgot she had a brother and sister because she did. That felt weird to me that she risked her life to save them but then got a man and never mentioned them again. The love story felt unnatural to me to some degree but overall I was entertained. Book felt a little too long.

There are a lot of dark moments and some are extremely hard to read. Soul had a lot of struggles and all you want him to do is to fight through them and not be so hard on himself. Even though he frustrates you through his struggles.

Neeya made some mistakes and her parents were completely trash. I wish she would have told Soul about her family issues early on but I understand her trust issues. I really wanted them to find peace separately and together.

Whew!! What a story!

I almost dnf this book, but I'm so glad I didn't! Kami is a one-click author for me so I said nope let me see where this book takes me. Oh my goodness, Soul and Juicy took me through it, but they found their happiness. This book was so real and raw, covering grief while also dealing with mental health issues. The love and support that Soul had, and didn't think he needed, was beautiful! This book was absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad I kept reading.

my heart & Soul! 🥰🥰🥰

I am really enjoying the Taylor Family Saga. One thing Miss Kami gonna do is “take me thru there, take me thru there!”

I would describe this book as a drom-com. (drama+romance+comedy)
I laughed, I swooned, I wanted to cry, & I was stressed tf out. & I loved it.

Neeya & Soul’s story was a rollercoaster ride for sure. The highs were high & the lows were under the earth. Plus some good twists, turns, (a perfect amount of SPICE!) & loops.
I love Nee-Nee as a side character in the previous books. We all need loving, loyal besties like her, P, & Normi. I enjoyed learning her backstory & seeing her grow as an FMC.
Soul is my favorite kind of MMC. Protective, possessive, & so petty. lol I’m so FN proud of his growth!

Bonus: Mental Health Awareness is a thread throughout. There is MC Bipolar representation! Grief, depression, PTSD, addiction/recovery, and Therapy are mentioned as well as.

I was so satisfied by the end of our journey.
