Apes of Wrath

Misfit Bay #4

by Milly Taiden

Archer Thresher is cursed to make his shifter gorilla uncontrollably explode in a fit of rage, forcing him to flee, and finds himself in Misfit Bay. There, he meets the most incredible woman, his mate, at the worst possible time of his life.

Unemployed and desperately in need of a reset, Camille Guidry visits her cousin, the owner of the historic Saint Laurent Hotel in Misfit Bay. Once she lays eyes on the hot new guy in town, she realizes how much fun she’s been depriving herself of.

Sparks fly when Archer and Camille hookup, lust at first sight. The only problem is that at any minute, his shifter side could erupt and kill his newfound mate. When he seeks help from the town’s infamous witch trio, one spell is broken but another is activated which leads his enemies straight to Misfit Bay.

Archer & Camille

He's running from so much more than a loss of her job that has Camille visiting her cousin and her new hotel. She hadn't gone to ask for a job but just a visit. She did get a lot more--she meets Archer.

His escape was from being falsely accused and cursed. This town welcomes all, humans, shifters, and witches. He'd heard enough. He didn't need any more evil witchy types. Then Camille's cousin offered him a job including somewhere to live. He couldn't turn it down, at least for now. Meeting Camille, falling for her, and finding friends who would stand up with him was all so much more than he imagined.

His history, her disinterest in her job as well as the discovery that not all were against big, brave gorilla shifters. However, would the town and the people of the town and those from his past really work to clear out the evil and leave behind more like those residents? Was there a chance for Archer & Camille?

This was a wonderful read, enjoyed the characters and the plot a riveting read

This is a simply wonderful read that O guarantee you will enjoy every moment of, Archer Thresher is a shifter that unlike many of his kind does not have very good control of the other part of himself. His gorilla has episodes of uncontrollable rages and he wishes this was not so but has been unable to do anything to prevent this.

When he meets a woman Camille Guidry that was desperately in need of help, he wants to be a better man, a better shifter and meeting his mate at a time he is struggling he can only hope that his gorilla will be as enamoured.

I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.

Archer is an ape shifter working on the railroad but by the time he steps on the trail to do his job he saw a horrific accident that killed to witches. The last sister who deals in black magic she is positive he did the need even though there was no evidence but Payton the dark witch came and accused him and cursed him. Camille is a young woman who knows nothing of the paranormal which weird because her cousin that she had been so close to had been traveling around the world so now she has opened a new hotel in a town called Misfit Bay and she comes to visit a couple of weeks. When she arrives at the pool she sees a hot 6'5 sexy man come up to the pool Archer meets Cam and sparks begin to fly. Terrific story line as well as the characters. Go read a copy via BookFunnel without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.

Loved!

When a Archer, a gorilla shifter is framed by an evil black magic witch she curses him to be stuck as a gorilla without control over his shifts. He's forced to leave town until he's finally able to get a handle on his beast. He ends up in Misfit Bay finding work at the hotel with Nick and Kayla.

Camille, Kayla's cousin just got laid off from her job and needs a change from the city. So when her cousin reaches out to her inviting her to come and visit she immediately jumps into her car.

When Archer see Camille a takes one sniff of her, he knows that she's his mate. But can he control his beast?

Nick makes Archer spill his story and brings him to the girls at the cafe who immediately remove the curse. But that witch is alerted and wants her revenge. His biggest regret is not telling Cam the truth because she's the target.

A must read!

Archer finds himself settling in Misfit Bay due to unfortunate circumstances.
Archer was falsely accused of a crime and cursed by a powerful witch.
The curse affects Archer's ability to control his shift.
This has made it impossible for Archer to stay in one place for long or to clear his name.
When Archer meets his mate Camille the situation deepens.
The Misfit Bay witches attempt to remove Archer's curse and unknowingly draw the witch into town cause more trouble for everyone involved.

This was a great story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The friendship better Archer and Nick. The drama of the shifters in Pearl River. Witch mischief.

So being cursed Archer goes away to control his Ape better. When he meets his new boss he thinks this is a good fit. Everything goes fine until the cousin of the owner comes for a visit. Camillia is tired of the same thing everyday sooo when she runs into the hot grounds keeper she has somr fun for a change. But someone's pass is lurking in the dark. This was a interesting read with all kinds if twist and turns with witches and other things going bump in the night.

We return to Misfit Bay and meet two new residents. Archer is fitting in well in town. When Camilla arrives, things become a bit more intense for him. She's his 'one'. However, she knows nothing of the paranormal world, and his past has caught up with him. Archer will have to trust his knew friends in order to defeat the evil that comes to his new home. Great read with a HEA. This is my voluntary opinion of an advanced copy I received.

[Raina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love going back to Misfit Bay. While we get to see some of the previous characters we get to meet two new ones. She is needing a break from life. After quitting a dead end job a visit to her cousin in Misfit Bay may be just what she needed. He is a whole different issue and it will definitely cause problems for him and others. Both of the characters are sweet and the romance builds fast as fate seems to have a hand in bringing these two together.

Welcome back to Misfit Bay! Archer was on the run from an evil witch, when he found Misfit Bay. Finding not only rewarding work plus Camille, he thought he'd found everything. But handling the curse and his dual nature was tough work. But there may just be a way around, and with his mate by his side, he can take on anyone- or does he need a little help from his friends? Another fabulous book in the Misfit Bay series by Milly Taiden!

[Barb · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very entertaining and enjoyable read. I love the characters in Misfit Bay and they always seem to find themselves in some kind of trouble but it’s great to see them have each others backs! This story felt a little rushed to me but it was still enjoyable and intriguing. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review for this complimentary copy of this book

Cam and Archer are both running from something. Cam from a unsuccessful life and Archer from a false accusation to a crime. Love how all the residents of Misfit Bay come together and dive in to help. Loved it.

Brilliant

I have to admit it took some getting into purely because I've never read about Gorilla shifters before, lol. But after I got past that, it was a great book and one for all paranormal romance lovers out there. All of Misfit Bay is well worth a look.
I did receive this book as an ARC, but this is my honest review.

😁😁😁😁😁

Misfit Bay has gained two new residents. One of whom has brought some trouble of a “magical” nature along with him! Will they be able to fight ‘black magic'? Watch out for the twists in the road!😘

This was a really enjoyable read. I love the back story for Archer, and how this bleeds into his relationships with Misfit Bay and Camille. I loved the growing romance between Archer & Camille, and the hot sexy scenes. There is drama, action and a bit of crime solving. A very enjoyable read.

[Ann Olsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uncontrollable shifting

Archer has big trouble following him. Camilla leads a 'boring' life. When they meet in Misfit Bay magical things happen. Can they solve Archer's dilemma before it destroys them and Misfit Bay or will the forces of dark magic win?

[Trish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice story.

I can honestly say, I have never read about a gorilla shifter. Archer was a very dynamic , and charismatic character. Cam was his perfect match. You need to be a tough woman to be able to handle a gorilla in bed.

[Marianne · Rating 5 out of 5]

So only one ape, but he is a worthy one.
Bad witches, secrets, romance abound.
The welcoming town expands its population with love.
