Camden

Rate this book
I’m paid to perform.
The goal, simple.
Win.
That’s what the Sawyer brothers want to see from me. They don’t pay me to take unnecessary risks.
And as a general rule of mine, I’ve made it a point to never piss off the Wild Cat if I can help it.
The thing is, I know how to play this game with him. I’ve been doing it for years.
But that girl, the one with purple hair and covered in ink just like her father, she sets my world on fire and my heart to my knees. Long before I knew what to do with the feeling or how to grab a handful of throttle and save myself from crashing, I had a plan for my life.
Until her.
Until she crashed into my world and made me promise to never walk away.

Must Read!!!

Stepping back into this fmx series was like coming home and seeing your crazy family again. Yes you get all the Sawyers and their wives and kids mixed into Camden and Rivers story.

This book was just what anyone of this series has been waiting for. I was over the moon when I found out Camden was getting his own book and his love interest was none other than Tiller's daughter River. I loved Camden (Cam-Man) from the very first book when we met him at the age of ten and following this sweet little boy who was slightly corrupted by the Sawyers has been so fun. Watching his evolution from the wide eyed little boy who wanted nothing more than to be accepted by these crazy brothers and even wanting to follow in the foot steps of the craziest one of all Tiller.

You get a better understanding of how Camden felt all his life and why he has such a hard time admitting he is in love with River for so long. His journey was frustrating and heartbreaking at times but his love never wavered even if he couldn't show it at times.

River was such a great character and she has Tiller's addictive personality when it comes to racing and the adrenaline she craves. I love that she never backs down and has the IDGAF attitude to back it up. She may have been a handful at times but she her love was something fierce. Watching her friendship with Camden go from little kids, to teens, to semi-adults falling into love was beautiful but saddening at times, since theu could never be together publicly. Always hidden and sneaking moments together leads to an unexpected events for these two down the road.

This story was amazing just like every one of Shey's books, she gives you humor, angst, steamy passion, and a few emotional moments before she ties everything back up with the perfect endings. I absolutely adore this world she has created and I hope she continues on with more over time because I honestly don't want to say goodbye to this crazy fmx world just yet. I highly recommend this book it was such an amazing addition to this series and Camden and River's love story was full of ups and downs, but beautifully written to give you those emotions of highs and lows of falling in love and fighting for your person. Grab a copy and have some laughs and maybe a few curse words randomly yelled out at times followed by a giant smile of content at the end.

Loved everyone of the Sawyer boys, so glad Camden climbed over the fence to meet these crazy boys and the little savage Sawyer. Have to say these too really had to fight for there love story. Shey I really have to say this might be one of my favourite books loved how you included so many people lol (Characters) from your other books. Enjoy every moment reading this book.

first met Camden Rivera when he was ten and a half, almost eleven, and jumped the fence between his house and the dirt track at the Sawyer mansion. I fell in love with him instantly and knew that the crazy Sawyer brothers motocross trio would be a better influence than his own father would ever be. I first wanted to throat punch Jerad Rivera the day I met him when Camden was that ten-year-old boy and never good enough for his dad. I've also wanted to throat punch Jerad every other time he was around since then; just wait, you'll want to as well! The first time I met Tiller's daughter River "Savage "Sawyer, she became my idol! Now twenty-four, Camden is at the top of his game, the golden boy of the sport and following in his idols Tiller, Shade, and Roan's footsteps. Maybe just a little less crazy, maybe. For Fourteen years, the Sawyer boys have taught, pushed, tested his limits, encouraged and supported Camden, creating that family bond he lacked at home. Cam-man, as they call him, is on the top of his game, with everything he wants within his reach...well, almost everything. Now torn between two promises, one to the Wildcat and one to a Savage, the saying "Caught between a rock and a hard place." probably has a whole new meaning for Camden. Thank you, Shey, for taking me on this crazy ride with this insane family, and like always, I'm not ready to give them up. I want more!!! From the minute I met that adorable map-drawing ten-year-old I knew great things were to come. Cam-Man, you are good enough, and I love you!!!

Camden - Book Review

Shey has done it again ❤️ Every time a new book comes out I can’t put it down.

Camden will get you in the feels. We can all relate with not feeling worthy and the struggle of pleasing others. You will love Camden and River and the cross over with the Racing on the Edge and Redemption characters. It was everything that I never knew I needed.

I always say it but this is my new favorite.

Just read it and you’ll see 📖

If you have followed the Sawyer Brothers books at all, you were introduced to Camden early on and I’m sure he stole your heart like he did mine. As a fan, It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for his story. Shey didn’t disappoint fans with Camden’s story and then adding a boost of River and all the other Sawyer family too boot, you just can’t get enough. I know with this family I’m gonna laugh, get angry and cry. They have captured my heart and I’m always eager for more Sawyer Shenanigans

Shey delivers again! The dynamic between all the characters is so great. I love seeing Camden dominate as a character all on his own. Watching him grow is truly fascinating but seeing the brokenness and struggle that he has inside is heartbreaking. Also, fun to see River and Camden’s story grow. The cameos from the Riley family, what a great added bonus. I didn’t want this book to end!

Shey does an amazing job with this story. Camden grew up in the other 3 books and now we get to see him as an adult and all of the decisions, challenges and emotions he deals with.
I love that River is such a feisty girl!! The emotions she goes through are so completely relatable! I can’t wait to read more!

I love the dynamic between all the characters. My heart hurt for Camden and his need to prove himself to everyone. The cameos with the Riley family is an added bonus. I am feeling a story with Gray and Dax in the future. As always Shey delivers.

Shey Stahl is back with another fantastic contemporary romance set in the wonderful world of motocross sports.

The day when Camden Rivera climbed over the backyard fence, into his neighbours property was the day that paved the way for his future career in the world of freestyle motocross. Practically face planting the Wild Cat himself, Tiller Sawyer was Camden's first introduction to the the man he idolized, it was also the day Tiller, Roan and Shade Sawyer, the three brothers that dominate the motocross circuits took Camden in, affectionately naming him Cam-Man and treating him as one of their own. Over the years Camden makes a name for himself in the freestyle world, there’s nothing he wants that he can’t have, well almost nothing, River “Savage” Sawyer, six years his junior and daughter of Tiller, the man he’s followed and seeked approval from. For many years Camden has felt the need to earn Tiller’s respect, only now his needs have changed, his feelings towards River see him struggle, his need for her outweighs any need he’s ever had when it’s come to wanting Tiller’s respect, can there be a compromise? Or will the Wild Cat put a stop to Camden and River having any sort of relationship at all?

What a journey is has been watching young Cam-Man learn and grow alongside the Sawyer three. I was fully intrigued getting to know what was going on in this beautifully broken young man's mind, and I adored how River in her own words “loved all his "broken" pieces”, these two fitted together like two pieces of a puzzle, one I’d happily spend hours upon hours trying to solve. I didn’t want this book to finish I’d quite happily spend my days surrounded by this crazy bunch of perfectly suited misfits going from one shenanigan to the next.

I can’t thank Shey enough for allowing us readers to be privy to that talented mind of hers, and I look forward to seeing what lies ahead.

I suppouse that „Cadmen” is a next book in „The” FMX” series. I've read only „Roan” from this stories and that book was pretty good. „Cadmen” is a story about shy love, which have place on the big competition, where motocross is the most important thing.

I wrote in „Roan” that, while reading I felt lost. Why? Because I don't know all of story, abou Shade and Tiller. Here, I had the same situation. River is a Tiller's daughter and even this was explain in „Camden” I still need to know more about Tiller.

„Camden” was a story nice to reading. In this opinion I will treat this book as a single story.
River is a really strong heroine. She has her dream career, but in one moment, one oblivion has ruined everything she was fighting for.
In the end, when the life gives you lemons, do a lemoniade and River is the best example of this sentence.
She do what she must do and then she go to makes her dreams true.

Camden is a good boy. If you are looking badass in this story – nope. Not here. Camden is a friend of River and her secret lover. One problem is her father, Tiller, which he wants all of the best for River (every father wants). Both of they, Camden and Rivera are friends from childhood and it was very nice to see, how their relationship is changing on the pages of this book.

Again, Shey Stahl wrote the perfect story, which gave me so much emotions. I think that „Camden” is the end book of „The FMX” series, so now I finally must read first and second book in this world.
If you need a nice read, with love story form childhood to adulty „Camden” is totally to you.

The Cam-Man Can!
What an emotional and fun ride this book was. When I first read Shade, I fell in love with a little boy that lived next door and that love grew with Tiller’s book. I never realized how much I needed to see Camden as a man until I read Camden and Rivers story.
Camden- What a sweet, caring and deep character. Don’t get me wrong, he can get dirty, but I loved that we saw a side that was unexpected. Camden truly did not think he was good enough for anyone and we saw this struggle while he accepted love from River. Camden’s relationships with “The Boys” were fun and complicated and everything I needed to be able to put the series to rest.
River- She was everything I expected from Tiller’s daughter and more. I loved that she had a didn’t give a F^%k attitude, but you could clearly see that she wanted her loved ones to accept her. River fell in love with a little boy out on the track, under the stars and things for her were never the same. River fought for Camden with everything in her and we needed a woman like her in our story.
Shey Stahl has a way of mixing hilarity and seriousness and making you crave more. I devour her books in a day and wish I would have slowed down, then stalk her page for more to come. You will never go wrong with one of her stories and this book is no different. If you really want a wild ride, read the whole series!

I could not wait to read Camden and River's story and Shey Stahl did not disappoint just like the previous books in the series I was hooked from the first page. I loved seeing Camden and River all grown up. River is Tiller's daughter and off limits but sometimes pushing those limits can be fun as Camden found out. They have loved each other for years but had to keep their feelings a secret. River definitely takes after her dad, she is crazy and loves to test the limits. She tells it like it is and does not hold back. Camden is not just the annoying kid from next door anymore. We not only get to read their story we also get to catch up with all of crazy Sawyer brothers and their ladies as well as the other kids in the family. And there are some other fun cameos from some of Shey's other series. We all love to hear from the Riley family any chance we get. At times I found myself laughing out loud at some the stuff that comes out of these characters mouths. It is a fast past story that will have you gripping those handlebars tight.

When I finished reading the Sawyer brother's series, I was so hoping I would get to see Camden all grown up one day. And my wishes were fulfilled!

River and Camden's story is beautifully written with everything you would expect in it; those crazy Sawyer brothers, the wives, the just as crazy children! No story is complete without the heat factor, the unique insight the author provides and the crazy shenanigans her characters are so famous for.

I was so intrigued to see how much Camden had changed. His story really dug deep into his insecurities which actually made him who he was. When he was younger appearing in the other FMX series books, he seemed so carefree, but that was not him at all. He was a child trying to fit in and find a place where he would feel unconditional love. And he finally did, with River and all the rest of the Sawyers!

A great finish to a series that started with a crazy bubbly blonde in another of Shey's books meeting a just as crazy sunglass wearing adrenaline junkie!

Love love love loved this! Did I say love! What a great addition to the FMX series! This was a great read. Camden aka Cam man is the little boy turned man in this book. Having met Cam in the previous books, Shade, Tiller & Roan we got to see who he turned out to be and how talented he’s become in the freestyle motocross circuit and how hard he loved River. This can be read as a stand alone but you'd be seriously missing out on all the shenanigans in the previous books. River is bad ass and I love a girl who says what she thinks and can compete with the boys!! There was angst, laugh out loud moments, and heartbreak felt throughput this book. I love the detail this book goes into around FMX,motocross sports,the races, the blood sweat and tears that go into the sport! Camden has a heart of gold even having been through so much hurt from his own father .He is most definitely a Sawyer in my eyes!!
River and Camden are perfect for one another and I love the journey they go through. Tiller (River’s dad aka Wild Cat) is someone Camden has always looked up to and was best friends with, so falling for his daughter was always going to have its own complications. You must read this book! It was so awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh Cam Man, you just became one of my favs!! I’ve been waiting (kinda patiently) for this book and Shey did not disappoint. And of course I should have known because Shey’s books are ALWAYS worth the wait!! Camden’s character was so well thought out, very dimensional and the depth was just phenomenal. We got to see pieces of him through the FMX series but seeing his home life as a child and watching him turn into a man in this book was a little emotional for me. And oh Tiller…..I’ll never get enough of him! The ending surprised me as I didn’t see it coming and I normally hate surprises but this one was the best one yet! Tiller you surprised me and Inow I need more of you!! After reading this one, I’m about to go back and read them from start to finish again!

Loved

I love this book so so much!! I'm so glad Scarlet's driving was in here. She cracks me up. Tiller should have known there's was only one person for River. If anyone could have handled her it would be him. He grew up around him so he knows all their ways. I love these types of stories. Crazy people but they all just work together. They're there for each other even when one is wrong, they tell you how wrong you are but they are there for you when you make it right. I hope there's more it would be nice to know if a boy comes into their midst but truth be told I'd never want them to end. Definitely would recommend.

This wild ride with the Sawyer brothers could not have a better addition to the series than River and Camden's story. I am so glad that Camden climbed over the fence into the Sawyer world. He has added so much to every single story in the series, so to get to read his story is amazing. River and Camden with make you want to cry, laugh, and cheer out loud for the happily ever-after! You will also want to throat punch Tiller, which seems to be a common occurrence where he is concerned. This series and author have always been a one-click buy for me, but following this story, it has only solidified by this book! Thank you Shey for another amazing read!

So glad we got Camden

I loved all the Sawyer brothers books,and I'm so glad we got Camden's. Add in that we got River too,well that just makes it sweeter. I just love that we always get the whole family,never just the main two characters. I have loved every single Shey Stall book I have read, I haven't read them all,but I'm close. With that said I'm now moving on to the next one. Oh, I do hope down the road we might get a book about the Sawyer family, and what their up to, I will never get enough of this family.

Cam-Man!!!!!

What a series!!!! I have have loved Camden since we first met him in Shades book! Yes he was just a kid then, but I just knew he was going to turn out awesome!!! Then we kept up with him during the other books and in Roans book we got little snippets of him and River!! But this book and their story was so good that I just didn't want it to end! Pretty sure Tiller pissed me off pretty bad....but he sort of redeemed himself bc he's well, him!!! River and Camden had loved each other for so long, and I was glad to see them get their happy ending!!!

I forgot how much I missed the Sawyer family! I loved everything about this book. The laughs, the love story, the secrets, the adrenaline.. it has everything. I couldn’t put it down and felt for all the characters. Even the ones you wanted to be mad at. Cam-Man ranks high on that book boyfriend list. You won’t want the book to end! Shey is such a talented writer, and she definitely didn’t disappoint with Camden🧡🖤

This book…gah ALL THE FEELS!!! From start to finish I was hooked! Camden and River have something so very special. Something written in the stars. But they can never be a “we” as far as Tiller is concerned. Their push and pull dynamic is HAF! Finding out Camden’s truth and learning Rivers my heart literally ached for these two young souls. Be ready for one AMAZING ride! It wasn’t nearly enough and definitely hope for more!

Sweet Cam-Man. What can I say?

He captured my heart from the moment he hopped over the Sawyer brothers fence. I knew his story was going to be amazing. The love between Camden and River is one for the ages.

Every time I read one of Shey’s books, I claim it’s my favorite. I love her writing style. She has a way of grabbing you and pulling you in to make you feel like you’re a part of the story.

Thank you, Shey, for another book that I couldn’t put down.

We first met Cam as a little kid trailing after 3 brothers who were teaching him things he did not need to know. But boy was it a ride watching them fall in love and Cam experience THEM.

Now we are seeing Cam as a man who has goals of winning the race and the girl of his dreams. The girl who just happens to be Tillers daughter and a rider herself.

Their story is rocky, explosive, beautiful and a perfect tie in to the 3 previous books. 5 glorious stars!

Intertwined love

Shey Stahl has written an amazing story of Camden and River. Hilarious and a love where they have chemistry and connection from a childhood love. All the characters from previous books Stahl intertwines beautifully. You will fall in love with this couple! Don’t miss out on Camden.

Excellent read!!!!

How do I describe this story. Besides incredible, its the way it is told. It breaks the fourth wall. The main characters talking to the reader. Telling you their thoughts and feelings. Enjoying the banter of the Sawyer brothers and the family. A great love story.
