The journey to HEA was long and difficult at times, but worth every moment of heartache. I fell in love with Weston & Brynley’s love story!

Brynley is a wonderful, unfiltered breath of fresh air. I loved her sassy mouth and quick wit. Her constant ability to always fight for what she wants and never back down is enviable. Her resilience and fighting spirit were the perfect compliment to Weston’s more reserved demeanor.

Weston struggles with his tendency to want to control all situations to protect his loved ones. This will be his greatest challenge as his love may just push away the one he loves the most. His past hurts continue to plague him.

When you find the love of your love, absolutely nothing can come between that. A couple that finally had everything, gets their happiness stolen. However, when it’s meant to be, the second time around is that much sweeter.

I binged this series when book three showed up and I fell in love with the characters over and over. Watching Weston go from a sad man living in seclusion to a smitten, confident man in love was incredible. I enjoyed all the characters and their individual contributions to the storyline. The heat and chemistry delivered everytime. The connection between Bryn and Wes was steamy and passionate. They connected on a level that was way beyond just physical. And that epilogue was just perfect!

Oh my goodness this was an absolutely amazing read. It is full of emotion, times that I swear my heart stopped beating and moments of holding my breath. Wes and Brynley have been through so much, have such a deep rooted connection to each other and their ride has kept me pulled in from the first word. This read gives us so much to love, intensity, jaw dropping moments, heat, and a bond that cannot be denied. Their little boy will melt any heart! This world has introduced me to characters that I have felt connected to and enjoy getting to visit with them again. I loved it.

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

It's good to see Bryn is still full of fire, “of course, it isn’t,” Bryn snips. “I’d rip your nuts off at warp speed.” My hand unconsciously lowers to give my boys a rearrangement of reassurance." Weston is still a jealous type, “what. Waiter?!” I bark loudly." I liked this book, I loved catching up with Weston and Bryn.

Oh Wes and Brinley...

This was a perfect end to the series. I love the fact that after the accident Brinley continued to be her sassy self and Wes had to learn to let go a little. I’m thinking there might be a crossover story coming soon. I love that we weren’t left wondering what happens to everyone and that they all got their happy ending. Bravo Xavier Neal you never disappoint ❤️

Can’t put this down

Wow... seeing how the characters have grown was amazing. I could relate to Byrn and Wes.. Byrn was kick ass in this book and she stands for what is right and isn’t afraid of letting the world know how it is going to be. Wes has learned to have the trust in the people who share your life. I love seeing JT and Byrn friendship grow and the infuse of geekiness they share.

I loved how you fight the ghost and stay strong even when the odds are stacked against you.

This is the much anticipated final piece of Weston and Brynley's trilogy and even though it was a long time coming it was so totally worth it!! You do need to have read books 1 & 2 (Private & Public) first to get this couple's complete story. So if you haven't yet, now is the perfect time to do it because you can binge read the complete series!! This couple totally stole my heart. These opposites were just perfect for each other. Bryn was an original. Sassy and sometimes brassy this was a woman I would want to have as a bestie and just chill out with. As for Wes, I could see so much of myself in him. His desperate need to control and protect is something I can totally relate to and it made me love him fiercely. The story line of this book will quickly grab and hold you attention as this amazing couple navigates more obstacles on the final leg of their epic journey. An absolutely awesome end for such a remarkable series. This is my sincere, freely posted review.

This is book 3 of the series and MUST be ready in reading order.

What a way to end this series! WOW! Wes and Brynley own my heart, I was a little sad to think that this would be the end for them but Ms. Neal did not disappoint.

Everything you love most about Wes and Bryn are in this book. Wes is still the overprotective somewhat paranoid alpha and Bryn is just as sassy, sarcastic and quite frankly, inappropriate as she's always been. The loyalty and devotion they have to each other and their friends and family is front and center in this book.

This was quite the emotionally charged story. Situations arise that leave you reeling yet scrambling to read faster. I simply could not read this fast enough. It was the absolute perfect ending to their story. Grab your tissues, a drink and be prepared to be wholeheartedly sucked into this book.

Wow!!! I have to say I am sad to see this series end, but , OMG!!! What a way to end it! The emotions I felt as read these words were real! The gut wrenching feelings Wes has had to go through. The strength Bryn had to have to go through such life changing events. The courage and fight and love every single member of the Wilcox "family" has had to show throughout this entire book was amazing.

I freaking loved every second of my time reading Personal and highly recommend the Private series! You will love Weston Wilcox. You will love them all!

I have loved WES and Bryn from the very beginning. These two are soulmates! We have watched this spitfire of a woman help a man get away from his solitude life. We have seen what this couple has gone through in Private and Public, but Personal is a whole other level. It’s heart pounding, tear jerking, love you like I’m going to lose you, finding ourselves again kind of love. There is so much that goes on in their final story, that I couldn’t put it down! I hope you love it as much as I have! I’m going to miss these two!

Personal is the final book in the Private series that is Bynley and Weston's love story. It is neccessary to read series in order or else the plot will not make sense. Each book begins where the book before ended. It has been an emotional roller coaster with these two but so worth the ride for this ending. Expect to laugh, get frustrated, and fall in love with the struggles and the triumphs. Read to find out how Brynley and Weston find love and happiness.

Fantastic book!! Wes and Bromley took me on the most amazing emotional ride, heart stopping at times but worth every minute. Personal is the third book in this fabulous trilogy and although it took a while to hit my kindle it was definitely worth waiting for it. This book is captivating and you will not be able to put it down. What a fantastic end to an epic series!!

This was the perfect ending for Brynley and Wes. I loved seeing them get to know each other and fall in love all over again!
Quite a suspenseful story line this time around and loved that even though Bryn goes through hell, she still has that tenacious attitude!

Finally, finally, FINALLY we get the happily ever after we've been waiting for. And man oh man, was it worth the wait!! Xavier Neal did Weston and Brynley's story good.

We met them, Wes and Bryn, in Private, and their story continued in Public. And as things happen, Xavier kept us waiting for the finale, Personal. I did a quick re-read and timed it so I was able to finish the 2nd book and go right into this book. What an amazing 3 days, falling in love with this couple all over again.

Xavier Neal has such a unique talent with her words. Every book is different from the others but the same. I haven't figured out how she does it but I'm glad she does. Thank you Xavier for giving one of my favorite couples their HEA.

Worth the Wait!!

I have been waiting for this to finally be released for over a year now and it was definitely worth the wait! I absolutely love Wes and Brynley! So much that I read the 1st two in the series not once but twice! Each one better than the last! How can you not adore their relationship? Brynley is a spit fire that keeps Wes grounded. And the banter that goes on between her and Wes' best friend, JT, is hilarious! So this definitely had lots of humor in it. Top that off with drama and suspense and what's not to love!?!?!? ❤❤❤❤

The journey for Weston and Brynley has finally here. The wait was long and I had a plenty of tissue for these two. But it was well worth every moment of heartache and tears I shed. I fell in love with Weston & Brynley’s love story in book 1. And continue to love them though it all.

Brynley is terrific, just like a Breath fresh air. I loved her sassy mouth and quick wit. She always stood by her Man and her Family. She never backs down for what she believes in, and she believes in her Love for Wes. Her strength, and her devotion to Wes even when it seems all else was lost were the perfect compliment to Weston’s more reserved demeanor.

Weston who struggles with his tendency to want to control all things for his love ones cause some serious situations in his life. This will be his greatest challenge to not smothered the one he loves the most. His past and his Guilt continue to plague him.

But when you find the love of your love, absolutely no one, and I mean no one can come between what you have made together. This couple finally had everything, and what happens, someone trying to steal what they have accomplished. But like they always say, if is it meant too be, no men or women will break that bond. The second time is always the charm.

Xavier Neal brought this series to life with these two. There Son is truly Adorable, and the twins are just as Cute.

I sit up plenty of nights when I had to be at work at 5 just reading this Incredible story that Mrs. Neal has spun with such Talented I didn't want it too End.



Watching Weston and his different emotions and trying not too be to controlling, and living his life like a monk, to a confident man in love was incredible. I enjoyed every single character in this book.

The passionate love scene between Wes and B was EXPLOSIVE....

And the Reletionship Brynley had with JT was Humorous. Especially with thier Star trek analogy. It kept me in Stitches.

I love how Xavier brought in my other Favorite two couple from Doctenn.

I'm wondering if this gonna be a spin off with the children?

This would be SPECTACULAR if she does.

This is a Must read Series, and I know I will reread it again and again.

Thanks for keeping me Entertain and happy..

This is the third and final installment in Xavier’s Private series. I immediately fell in love with Wes and Bryn when I first started this journey and when Xavier announced that she was going to make a trilogy, I did a happy dance.
This book picks up where the 2nd one left off. Our lovely couple goes through something that changes them completely. It’s time for Wes and Bryn to get personal. Is the change for the better? Will our hero and heroine make it out together? Or this is bump in the road too much? Read to find out! This story features one of my favorite couples who haven’t changed one bit, their family, amazing friends and cameos that we have come to know and love from our girl Xavier. It was a long and crazy roller coaster that was full of twists and turns. You will have times where you yell, scream, cry, and laugh while reading. While I am said to see this series end, it really does feel like a perfect ending. If you loved the first two books in the trilogy, make sure to snag this one up today!

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this third book in the Private series because I have so loved Wes from the beginning. Unfortunately, Bryn is another story – she still comes across as a foul-mouthed, ungrateful woman – who, nonetheless, is also still very much loved by Wes. In any event, Wes is a man who will do whatever it takes to protect those he loves and will hunt down those responsible for daring to bring any harm to his family. Wes and Bryn really go through a lot in this story, and, of course, there is still all the steamy encounters there have always been when they come together. What takes place toward the end was really shocking to me but definitely necessary. The final ending was a very good one, though, and I’m sad that there won’t be any more stories about Wes and his whiskey. Wes is one of my favorite characters, and I’ve loved reading his story in all three books. I’m sorry to see the series end.

I have always loved how Wes loved Bryn but this book pulled it out like no other. He had to express and show in a way that made him completely vulnerable to her plight. She had to remember. She had to feel. She had to be new. For him. It was beautiful. I did not expect, at all, the incidents that took place but they made the characters even more human. And who doesn't love Bryn's snarky and hilarious one-liners and comebacks. Just lets you know the author is well-rounded and probably very fun to be around. My fave one-liner was "I'll gladly take any thunder from down under you wanna give me". Loved it! As always, the author brings her characters to life that is so relatable and you always hate to see them go. I just hope we get to see Bryn, Wes and the rest of the family again someday! Well done!

Whoo!!! You ever read something and you’re all in your feelings well this will definitely have you there. Talk about emotions going everywhere. I didn’t know rather to stop reading or stalk Xavier and tell her “ma’am give me my feelings back. I’m mad at you!” The series is freaking great. You think you know where the story is going to take you but do you really??? You will find yourself laughing, crying your feelings stuck in your throat, there is suspense, love and hot sex of course but dang the story was just lush. The characters call to you and you want to shake them at times other times you want to hug them to your bosom and others you want to slap the taste out their mouths. Bryn and Wes are just great and book 3 is AMAZING!! 💞

The soul knows

Wes and Bryn have been through a lot of personal and public scrutiny because of his status. On par with defending their love to the public, there are some really scary people that will go that far.
For Bryn and Wes, it was little fin, My, that became the target of hate and revenge.
On the biggest attempt, Bryn does what most mothers would do. Go after their child without pause. To step into harms way to save their heart and soul, her son.
Wes is then challenged to fight for their love and family, like she fought for their love in the beginning.
You will cheer for them and fall deeply in love with Wy. The ending will have your jaw-dropping. This is better than the original version of this story.

Omg!

First let me say, I don’t give spoilers because I hate them. With that said......I NEED a Weston Wilcox in my life! I liked him in the previous books but he made me love him in this one. Damn book made me late coming back from break because I couldn’t put it down during one of the MANY times it got too good.

Weston and Brynley have had one heck of a time trying to live life together. With his business and Charities and her job. Now they have a child. Just trying to Spend time with each other is a challenge all on it's own.

Brynley and Weston have more yet coming their way in this third and final book.

Amazing story line and wonderful ending to the series!

Xavier has done it again - written a story that has you feeling every emotion there is! From love to hate to scared to relieved, there is so much to this story that makes it the perfect ending! Bryn and Wes have to overcome a very big obstacle that really makes you wonder “is love enough?”

This series is one of my favorites and this book was the perfect ending! Do not miss out on it!
