Kings of Mayhem (The Kings of Mayhem Book 1) Kindle Edition

ARRA Finalist: Favourite Continuing Romance Series 2019

CADE
I’ve loved her since we were five years old.
We grew up side by side.
Two kids tied together by the Kings of Mayhem Motorcycle Club.
But I broke us.
So, she fled.
Now she’s back after twelve long years.
And I’m going to show her all the reasons why we should be together and make her forget all the reasons why we shouldn’t.

INDY
I’m back in town but only because I have to be.
I’m here to help my mom bury my father.
And the sooner we get it done, the better.
Because I want to see Cade as much as I want a hole in the head.
He broke me once—no, he broke my everything— and I’ll be damned if I’ll let him do it again.
Get in and get out. That is the plan.
But you know what they say about best-laid plans.

For readers 18+. Kings of Mayhem is book one in the Kings of Mayhem MC series and contains a possessive biker and a strong-willed, sassy doctor who is determined not to fall in love with her childhood sweetheart all over again! As with all my books in the series, my characters find their HEA but not without running into some surprise twists and page-turning suspense along the way.

    This book is all about Indy (Indigo Blue Parish) and Cade Calley. They met at the of age 5 when Indy’s parents moved in next door to the Calley family. Both parents already know each other as both men are members of the Kings of Mayhem M.C. and the sons of the founding fathers.

    The M.C. was formed after both grandfathers returned from Vietnam. When they formed the M.C. they wanted it to be a legit club. No drugs, no guns and women were to be worshipped not enslaved. The drugs and gun rules were put in place because of all the bad things they had seen and witnessed in Vietnam.

    So Cade and Indy were brought up in the M.C. lifestyle. and were classed as the prince and princess of the M. C. Everyone knew that it was inevitable that the two of them would be more than best friends.

    They planned out their lives together once they finished high school they would leave and go to college together in Seattle. Get married and have a family, but Cade’s father didn’t want his son going away to college so he set his son up. Got him so drunk by spiking his drinks all night that he ended up in bed with one of the clubs whore’s. Knowing full well that Indy would walk in on them. Which she did. The very next day they were mean to leave for collage together but Indy left on her own. Never to step foot in her home town for next 12 years.

    Indy now a qualified emergency doctor has no choice but to go back home as her father has died. She thinks she’ll just be in and out of her home town and back to her happy life in Seattle. What she doesn’t expect is for her past to come crashing around her and her feelings for Cade to become stronger. Will Cade and Indy finally put the past to rest and start again?

    I really enjoyed this book and have gone straight on to read book two. This has all of the M.C. biker vibe but it also so has normal everyday events going on in it making it more believable. It’s like Sons of Anarchy with a bit more of a feel good factor to it. I bought the first two book as I have received book three free via NetGalley if I give my honest opinion on the book. I don’t really like starting books in the middle of a series, and with it being one of my favourite genres I threw caution to the wind and bought them. I hope that books two and three are just as enjoyable.

    Can’t even….. literally my heart was in my throat - I read about 250 books a year and rarely leave a review, but this one had my heart pounding and my eyes watering.

    I want to read the next… and I will because it’s written so well and even when you see the HEA you question it…. The chemistry between the characters makes me jealous, the manly possessiveness names me want my own biker but I’m almost nervous to see what other emotional the main characters will endure.

    But hey ho, I’m downloading as we speak!

    Happy reading

    I’m not a massive MC fan, I dabble shall we say.

    Honestly, I think the amount of 🐱 the men get, and the amount of hot women that are around them, it would appear that they live in someone sort of model-esque utopia where only hot people live.

    Also, cheating trope wasn’t explained, just sort of excused.

    What a book, the pace of this book is perfect. The story is amazing, I am very picky when it come to MC romance novels as it is one of my favourite tropes, and this book does it well. The connection between the h and H is perfect the way their relationship progressed thruout the book was perfectly done.
    My only negative is it wasn't quite as dark as I like my books to be but that is a minor details as it wasn't advertised as a dark romance.
    5 well earned stars and time for me to go read book 2

    4.0 out of 5 stars Second Chance MC Romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2019
    Verified Purchase
    The first in a new MC series by a new to me author. This is a second chance romance and ends in an HFN but a continuation will be in the next book in the series.

    Cade and Indy grew up together and became young sweethearts, that is, until Cade did something that Indy could not forgive him for and she left home never to return until over a decade later for her father’s funeral.

    The getting to know Cade and Indy was over current day with flashbacks to the past. I personally would have preferred the past to be told in one block as I’m not a fan of flashbacks. However, it was sufficient to pick up on how intense they were back in the day and I could understand how in the present there was a lot of heartache to unravel before these two could move on.

    As with all new series, especially in an MC romance, there were a whole lot of names to be introduced to which took a lot of concentration to try and remember who was who and who belonged to who. However, I liked the feel of this MC and the closeness of the different families and brothers.

    There was a lot of back and forth with Indy and Cade which to a certain extent was to be expected, however it got old fast and started to frustrate me. Finally, though they got their heads together and the story could move on to eventually introduce some MC drama which was late in coming to the plotline. The majority of the book was focused on the second chance romance so I was glad to see some MC action (even though that was so sad) only for the end to come.

    I’m looking forward to the next book, if only to find out what happened after that cliffy. To say this was the author’s debut into the MC world it was enjoyable but, in some parts, slow. Hopefully this will gain more pace and flow in the next books. Four stars (rounded up)

    The story was good, but as someone who doesn't like the to and fro between past and present, I felt it off-putting that the book has such chapters almost till the end. It just disrupts the pace of the story for me. Also disappointed that this story is not a standalone and that it was not mentioned anywhere in the description.
    Overall apart from the past and present chapters, the book was good

    1.0 out of 5 stars so, so bad :-((
    Reviewed in Germany on 1 October 2019

    So, so bad! Regret buying it!!!

    Don't read on if you don't wanna know details about the book.

    1.) Cade and Indy were so in love, he was willing to leave the club they both grew up in for her, but shortly before eloping his father drugs him and he sleeps with another woman without realizing it. And Indy walks in on him (as you would expect in that sort of cliche-riddled story).
    2.) Indy runs away broken-hearted, but when she returns twelve years later for her Dad's funeral (because her Mom's devastated, even though the Dad was an abusive a*hole), she still hasn't moved on. No love and obviously no life at all because even "hating" where she came from, she can't seem to leave and it takes Cade no time to get her back in his bed.
    3.) I've already read some books about MCs and in this book, the whole MC-thing is just the distant setting for a really mediocre lovestory.
    4.) You don't really get to know a single character in the story, because descriptions are superficial and actions ambivalent.
    5.) There's a second part to Cade and Indy's story. I hate when writers do that.

    Yeah, I'm frustrated with this book. Wish I'd get the time back it took me to read it...

I love MC romances but I find I'm very picky but the Kings of Mayhem definitely 5++ stars. The writing style was refreshing and flowed so easily and naturally. Now onto book 2!!

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! Wow! Where do I start. This book was like being on an emotional rollercoaster ride you never wanted to get off of. It has everything you could possibly want in a book. The suspense was so intense I couldn't read fast enough. At times I was crying so hard a could hardly catch my breath. At times it was so heartbreaking and heart warming all at the same time. I was so consumed by this book I didn't leave the house all day. The angst had me bouncing in my seat. This is my first book by this Author and it most certainly won't be m last. I can't wait to start the next book. The love between Cade and Indy was so strong you could almost feel it coming off the pages. This Authors writing style draws you in and makes you feel like your a part of the story. At times it felt like I was watching a movie. And the sex is off the charts set your crotch on fire smokin hot! I can't say enough about this book. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE!
