The Wimberley Chronicles (Wrecked: Guardians) Kindle Edition

Violence and bloodshed should not be the foundation for a relationship.
Dr. Hedy Villarreal is a forty-something criminal psychologist with a foul mouth and a dead wife, and recently, life has taken a turn for the weird. One minute she's living on a beach in South Texas; the next she's discovering that there's a black ops unit operating out of her family's property deep in the Texas Hill Country. Oh, and her new best friend is a muscle-bound woman with fangs and hair that rattles.

When Hedy agrees to use her skills to profile and recruit mercenaries for this not-quite-legal enterprise, she wasn't counting on ex-Navy SEAL Edison Fitzwallace. Their first interview ends in a shouting match, and their second ends with her covered in someone else's blood. It's not an auspicious beginning, but she soon learns that he would sacrifice everything to keep her safe.

Including the truth.

Urban fantasy M/F romance with heavy bisexual undertones.

For those familiar with my contemporary Wrecked and Wrecked: Guardians series, this is the back story of the mysterious Wimberley crew. These events take place in the year or so before the beginning of the Wrecked timeline.

Hi there! I write gay romance, which is to say that I curse way too much, drink exactly the right amount of red wine, and sleep far too little. I’m also lucky enough to live in Central Texas with my wife and two dogs, where the astonishing diversity of humans and landscapes and tattoo shops serve as my muse.

But I will try to find some for how special this book is to me. It's a slow-burn paranormal MF romance. I don't really read a lot of MF these days, but I met Hedy and Edison in Kelly's MM books and wanted to know what their story was.
I'm so glad I read it.
It's got the action-adventure I love, with a bit of sci-fi flair, while still being sexy and funny. Hedy is so REAL, y'all, so relatable, and I love her dearly.
And as a native Texan, I appreciate the attention to detail that Kelly pays for our home state. Seriously, the truth she speaks about El Campo...

Highly recommend. 11 of 10.

4.0 out of 5 stars I am VIOLENTLY angry at this book.

Like, days and days later, I am still basically raging over this damn book.

You really tryna tell me that ANY of this makes sense?! You really wanna go there? Make me read this with my own two eyes and lie to me?!

Try Jesus, not me. Do not play me. Today is not the day and I am not the damn one.

You cannot seriously expect anyone to suspend enough disbelief to make this make sense. Maybe if you’d tied it ANYWHERE else in the universe and many, many books since, but no. Not as it stands. This doesn’t fit and adding a couple of novellas that aren’t actually tied to anything but the universe in a general sense ain’t it.

The characters and the story are phenomenal, as usual, but try again. Make it right somehow. Good grief. Readers aren’t as dumb as y’all seem to think these days. Yeah, not everyone should be allowed to review books, but I’m sure you’d include me in that lumping.

3.95/5, UGH. *throws kindle and walks away*

I read this book after Kelly Fox’s other related series (Wrecked and Wrecked: Guardians) and I was happily surprised to see it tie in not only those but other books as well. A walk on the wild side - hot sexy times with persons of various persuasions, shifters and Kelly’s signature snark made this an exceptional book! A new fav!

I didn’t realize going into this one that it was paranormal! I read the Wrecked series first and then came back to this. I was surprised in the best way! I wish more books would follow in this series because I really loved the whole crew and I want more with these MCs!

I am not sure how I feel about this book. To much unnecessary sex. It does nothing for the story line. Hedys Inner conflict is never ending. I actually do not like her. I liked the storyline between MC's and the villains. I would read a passage and have no idea why the character responded as they did. I did not enjoy this near as much as the other books. Could just be me. I usually don't write because an opinion is just that but in some cases I make exceptions. I just didn't get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars So different and intriguing!

I was getting ready to start nook four in the Guardians series when I saw this book listed at the beginning of that book. Wemberly has always been this big mystery so I wanted the back story before I wrapped up the Guardians series. I got so much more than back story.

This book was totally not what I was expecting and I was completely sucked in. I had no idea it was heavy on the paranormal and it’s a very different take and I really enjoyed it. I completely empathized with Hedy and I would have wanted to kill people if I were in her shoes. I didn’t get the rationale for keeping her in the dark and I think it was stupid and poorly explained. She knew so much else. And not telling her put her more at risk. More back story on Edison would have been helpful earlier. I’m totally confused at one part of the ending (can’t say what because spoilers) and can’t decide if it’s my misunderstanding or the result of typos.

Which brings me to my big criticism....holy crappy editing Batman! This book needs better editing and much better proofreading. Some are easy to glaze over (though still annoying) because you know what is going on but others can change what is happening in the story so I was lost.

The book needed a more definitive ending too. I really felt up in the air about what was happening. Seems like we should have seen more books the way things were left.

I read all the others first and came to this last and yet this one I enjoyed more. I understand that the author went in a different direction but it would be wonderful to see a series of its own and then a joint one with the wrecked people. I can but hope.

4.0 out of 5 stars The foundation of Wimberly and how they come to tie in with the Wrecked/Guardians/Rebel Sky crews
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
Its an interesting book because it deals with the set up of the Wimberly crew and helps to understand the players behind the scenes (name drops like the Wonder Twins etc) in the Wrecked/Guardians/Rebel Sky world but at the same time its on its own unconnected wavelength. Its clearly the start of something COMPLETELY different to how Wrecked/Guardians/Rebel Sky ended up being (and yes the preface does tell the reader this fact) but it has the heart and the warmth of the rest of the tied in novels of the three series. What I particularly liked about this one (and boy am I glad it did not go down the route of Scout & the Lavender Girl) was that there is zero Bi-erasure; Hedy is unapologetically Bi and this is handled with dignity and care.
