Ruled by Wizard

by Jamie Begley

Natalia Amato has a nearly perfect life. She owns Mama Spaghetti restaurant, has employees she counts as family, and enough money to weather most storms. The only thing lacking is finding someone to start a family of her own with. How hard can it be, right?

Until… Wizard enters her life like a human wrecking ball. The President of the Last Riders’ Ohio Chapter somehow manages to crash all of her promising dates, uses her good nature to blackmail her into dates with him, and if that wasn’t bad enough, he is pure fire in the bedroom.

She wanted a smoking-hot man, but Wizard is a fire too hot to handle. He rules The Last Riders with an iron will and thinks she will fall in line like everyone else. But he isn’t the only one with an iron will. If anyone is going to bend, it will be him. Even if her perfect life crumbles down around her, she will never be… Ruled by Wizard.

[CrazyGal609 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Natalia and her stubbornness, Wizard gets points for his determination and patience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wish it was longer. This felt more time on others than themselves…. I know he’s the Club President, and she’s the owner of a very popular Italian Restaurant and cares for those in her world, meaning they have many people to keep track of -daily-… I just wanted more of them!
💛 Nice way of connecting Sunshine in here, sad & sweet 💛
The epilogue was perfect, especially that last line 😉
💰💸 I definitely would have paid to see Tink (Arden) trying to “drown Celeste in the ice chest” 🤣🤣🤣
FYI: Luc = Arden’s brother , Lucia= chick wants Jesus and ended the engagement with Marco

Never underestimate a pissed of woman when either protecting people she loves or in self preservation mode 🩸🩸🩸
I love this series; the togetherness & protection The Last Riders have for each other 💙📚💙

Smart Man… and very true 🤭
“You’ll eat my leftovers? Most people don’t like eating after someone else.”
He gave her a lascivious smile that curled her toes inside her heels. “Why should I be squeamish about eating your leftovers when I plan to have your pussy in my mouth later tonight?” 💋

☹️🙄 It was very annoying to look up Italian and French words…. the translator even thought one was Spanish too?!! At least put the damn English words After the other words!!! (Since I’m reading it in English 😉)
Thx Natalie… FYI: “fresa” = Mexican Slang (Stuck-up / Preppy): In Mexico and parts of Latin America, it is a colloquial term for a wealthy, snobbish, preppy, or high-maintenance person -Margarita to Natalia

A++ for the cover!! 😎 He is very delicious, and fresh, glad to see another original guy on the cover!!

🤭There appears be a proper multi-series order…oopsie🙃
Oh well, I’m enjoying it💋

[Elly · Rating 1.5 out of 5]

I wanted to like it but I couldn’t stand either MC. No chemistry between them. Hoping future books aren’t this bad because the previous Last Rider books were great!

[Googly55 · Rating 1.5 out of 5]

Wizard is dumb and gross and in no way a desirable MMC. Natalia is annoyingly hard headed and always aggravated. She reads this club correctly and knows all about Wizard’s lifestyle, yet still is attracted to him. This dude has sex CONSTANTLY with OW, even while he’s pursuing the h. He and his MC brothers share women and let everyone watch. He uses sex to convince females to join their club. (Not sure why that’s necessary, but ok.) He gives oral sex to anyone who requests it - the female members ring a bell and can choose who they want to go down on them and they almost always choose Wizard. This guy is a walking Petri dish and probably well on his way to throat cancer. He’s just not an attractive H in any way.

Also, he’s kind of a shitty human being. He gets mad at his sister for joining the Navy and disowns her. Cuts all communication, etc. He doesn’t even know that she dies in combat. Just pitiful.

Plot twist towards the end was ridiculous.

Looking back, I probably should have given first book lower rating because really, Doom wasn’t much better.

[Valentina Andreieva · Rating 1 out of 5]

I am terribly disappointed with this book. I couldn’t even finish it. I absolutely loved the earlier books in the *Riders* series—I could easily get through two in a single day—but the recent ones are simply unreadable. Natalia, the protagonist, was nothing more than a caricature, defined entirely by her hatred. She was so judgmental that it was truly repulsive. If you don’t like someone, surely there’s no need to scream in their face that you hate them? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just limit your interactions with them as much as possible? The stupidity of both the plot and the characters was off the charts. This will likely be the last book by this author that I ever attempt to read.

[Kris · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was ok, as far as being able finish it, and not abandon it, but I really don’t like the Ohio members, as much as I liked the Treepoint members, I didn’t really like Wizard. Not because of him being grumpy, or an a-hole. I just did not feel like I knew who he was, even at the end. This book at more fighting between the main characters, as opposed to us seeing what they were feeling, how they developed, or any character progression. Was he a closet monogamist? Was he planning on changing her mind about having her engage in group activities? It said he just wanted her for now, for one thing, then we are to believe he was planning to be with her forever, months before they even started? Why was his inner dialogue, at one point, that he was miserable once they were monogamous and he was bored out of his mind? Then he thinks he made a mistake? All these things were brought up, to make you think it would be expanded on, or a plot point, but then just dropped and never explained how any of the issues were resolved. Why did he let that female member start a fight? They never had a conversation about her father. Basically, I was confused on if he actually wanted to be with her, and if he did, how did he resolve things. The thing about the other LR characters, from Treepoint, was they were jerks, they had issues, they tried to push their sexual preferences on their women, but they were lovable. We could see the characters evolve, and the relationship grow, and you knew they loved their women. With Doom, and now Wizard, I didn’t see that.

[wrkatreading · Rating 3 out of 5]

So different from her previous last Rider Books. The only chapters that were like the previous LR books were the last chapter and the Epilogue but still not up to par. With the incorporation of Mafia characters make me think her daughter has taken over the franchise.

[Lea_D reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, I finally finished it. And it's definitely no Treepoint I can tell you that. The Ohio chapter is so unlikable. The men, and the women. Except Arden. I always liked her. The FMC Natalia is best as I would describe as a good appetizer. Nice side character. But as the main entre? Too rich, and you're left with an upset stomach. I get her background made her the way she was, but it felt like she was shouting the entire book, and I developed a headache. The MMC Wizard? Same. Liked him as a side character in the previous book, but he was a slut. I hate when while the hero is pursuing the h he's still sleeping around. Not very convincing. Where I could overlook it in the OG last rider's series because you could see them wrestling with their feelings. Here? Not so much. Also ,the Ohio chapter just seemed dirty, unprofessional, disorderly, and ridden with STIs. I could imagine the smell. 😅 And I'm still in the camp where I like my ol ladies seperated from the women the club uses. No matter how you try to look at it, these women are sex workers. As far as the plot went it just felt like girls gone wild with a touch of mafia towards the end which was weird. Maybe JB's daughter is starting to help write her books. I know she hasn't been well which I'm disappointed to leave not the best review.

Overall it was just ok. The ending and epilogue helped up my rating, but I can't wait until we're back in Kentucky.

Safety: you should know by now JB's books are all unsafe when it comes to sex with other people 😅

[Carol · Rating 3 out of 5]

Last Riders in Treepoint spoiled us. The Ohio chapter just isn't the same. I disliked Wizard so much at the beginning. He comes across more as an asshole than a alpha male.
Natalie was so tough but when it came to dishing out with her threats she came up short. She was so adamant about hating Wizard but she fell on him so fast and then turned into a bitch afterwards.
I didn't get the whole mafia crap going on. It didn't make sense that Marco had been working with her since he was 16 yrs old. Not sure his age but it had to be years with her and then to turn on her. Something should have been happening for years not all of a sudden out of the blue. For me it just didn't connect in the story,
I still love this authors work this just wasn't a favorite.

[Kylie Liddell · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don’t hate the book, but this is the first Jamie Begley book that I haven’t absolutely loved!
Normally, I can finish a Jamie Begley book in a day because once I start reading, I just can’t put it down. But this one has taken me a few days because, honestly, it just couldn’t pull me in.
It just doesn’t give me The Last Riders vibe.
Treepoint gives you that brotherhood, that family feeling, that deep connection between the characters. Ohio, on the other hand, feels more like a club with a few friends who don’t seem to have that same strong bond.
I’m sorry, Jamie! ❤️ I know you put a lot of work into your books, and I appreciate that, but this one just felt a little short for me. I was missing that connection and that feeling that makes your books so hard to put down.
Hopefully, the next one brings back that Last Riders magic! 🤞📚

[Maddy Montgomery · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now this is the first Jamie Begley book that just did not hit the same way as all the rest have. I enjoyed the story, but it did not pull me in the “I cant put this book down” way.

There was a lot of spice, however it feels like thats all Natalia and Wizard did in their one on one time, both headstrong characters, but somehow we mainly saw Natalia be a big softie dancing by Wizards tune. From Dooms book I got the impression Natalia was as bad ass as Killyama and was super excited to see the fight of wills just to be disappointed. On another note I kept expecting a pregnancy announcement since from the get go they were not using condoms and the announcement never came.

[Christelle Ruiz · Rating 2 out of 5]

I enjoyed it as it’s been a while since I was expecting their story!
But the hate to love, the back and forth, the game playing, the dominant personality at some point it became boring and repetitive.
It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be.
Too many unexplained stories and it felt frustrating!!

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ruled by Wizard is the second book in The Last Riders Ohio Chapter and I believe it could be enjoyed as a standalone but do recommend reading the books in order to get the full experience. I have to admit that Wizard took quite some time for me to warm up to but by the end you got to see the man behind the president patch and how far he will go for the women he loves. Natalia takes stubborn to a whole realm....this lady certainly knows how to back chat, get under Wizard's skin and do the unpredictable, however she looks after and fiercely protects those she loves. Although they were perfect for each other, I would have loved to see these characters on their own a little more to really get a sense of how the relationship evolved. Seeing the original members from Treepoint is always a welcome addition to the story as these characters was what lead me to fall in love with The Last Riders and why I will continue to read any future books in this series. The epilogue was just beautiful and I always love seeing the snippets of the next generation!!!

[Turtlex · Rating 5 out of 5]

hate waiting this long for these books

I need this in my life. More of this. Keep writing this series.
Wizard is really amusing. I’m really on board with this comedic style, he’s absolutely ridiculous. In the best way possible. He’s silly so Natalia won’t take him too seriously. It’s really not until we’re already in the snare that we see the carefully laid out trap. The whole thing didn’t all go according to his plan, but the ends justify the means seems to apply here.
Natalia is living with a sense of danger her whole life and sabotages or ends any relationship she’s in before her
Feelings run too deep. Meanwhile, Wizard mostly keeps her infuriated. His ploy, while “silly” is also deeply meaningful. He’s been paying attention. All along he’s seen her and thought about how to marry and keep her. Who KNEW Wizard, the curmudgeon, the cheapskate, the absolute irritant is also a ROMANTIC? Hello?

[Kat · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

Wizard meets his match!!

4.5 ⭐

OMG, Jamie Begley does it again! I absolutely love The Last Riders world, and it was so nice to see loads of the older Last Riders making an appearance. I’ve really missed this world and I’m so glad to be back in it.

Wizard is a git to pretty much everyone he meets, male or female, but one thing you can say about him is that he’s always honest!

Natalia is just as stubborn as Wizard and definitely anti-The Last Riders. But when her reputation is ruined because of them, they’re the only people she can turn to.

I wanted more from the epilogue, but I absolutely loved what I got.

[Debsdragon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Worth the wait!!!

I waited until I had zero distractions so I could read it without interruptions. I'm so glad I did.
Wizard- what can I say, so many times I wanted to knock him upside his head. Definitely a Last Rider😉. Maybe he learned his lesson to not get between 2 women having disagreement.
Natalia- A strong woman with a soft heart. The perfect woman to put Wizard in his place. Loved it❤. Catching up with a few of my favorites was a bonus for me.
Thank you, Jamie for this wonderful story.

[Reading All The Things · Rating 3.25 out of 5]

I rated it close to 4 because I’ve loved the author's other book series. I like seeing familiar characters in new storylines.
But, I just can’t get over how much I didn’t really enjoy the lead female character. And Wizard was okay. This club isn’t as set up as the Last Riders in depth of story, I guess. But she was too annoying for me. Too dramatic. The ending was just over the top with private jets and so on. It was too much and not very believable.
Will I read other books? Sure. But I’m not sure if it’ll be as good as the Last Riders, the Porters, the Coleman books.

[Holly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best Laid Plans

Wizard plans to have Natalia on his terms but she is fighting him every step of the way. Unfortunately when Wizard is finally making headway with Natalia, things with her business start to go bad after lies and fake videos are posted on the internet about her. Wizard won't let her push him away to face her.problems alone even if he is the one that needs to make changes in this engaging read.

ruled by wizard (the last riders, Ohio chapter book2)

I enjoy reading this author’s books. I read all of the last writers’s books, and I especially enjoy reading this book with wizard and Natalie and their journey toward finding love and happiness. I especially like the characters that are developed in this book and how it also involved the original last riders in this storyline.

[Laurie Gyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

excellent-story

Groaning at the sound of the alarm on his nightstand, Wizard pretended not to hear it until the grating noise got on his nerves. Slapping it off, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stared groggily around the room. Sunlight crept through the sides of the tarp that provided the only barrier between him and the great outdoors. Yawning, he tried to remember when his life had become hell

Would also love to hear stories about their children as well when they're grown!
Including the greer brothers children!

Loved Wizard's Story

While I was sad that Wizard lost his sister, I loved his and Natalia's story. Natalia was such a strong female character and she fit Wizard perfectly. Also liked that there was some comic relief in the book.
