A fantastic start to a great new MC series, couldn’t put it down. Really enjoyed all of the characters and Can’t wait for the next book!

It’s been a while since I’ve read an MC book, so when I was given the opportunity to read Kings of Mayhem I jumped at the chance. I’m so glad I did. Penny Dee is a new author to me, and one that I will definitely be reading more of. The story follows Cade Calley and Indigo Parrish, both MC kids, it follows their story from when they met, aged 5 to present day, 25 years later. Previously I’ve struggled with books going backwards and forwards with the timeline between chapters, but Penny Dee nailed it for me. I loved reading their past as much as their present. Told in dual POV we get to see both sides of their story, a story about second chances, family and true love. A wonderful story, with some emotional scenes and some interesting characters, all with their own story to tell. I can’t wait to read more Kings of Mayhem. I do hope though that future books include Cade and Indy, I need updates, I’m not quite ready to let them go yet. I was addicted from the very first page. Five ‘Cade Calley is Hot as Hell’ Stars from me. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Exciting kickoff to a few series!

The blurb is great synopsis of this story, basically Cade and Indy fell in love and were meant to be until her broke her and essentially them. Indy fled home to pursue her dreams which no longer included Cade but now she must return home to bury her father. And dig up her old feelings for Cade. But are they really old if they never left, are they just stale. Lol.

I loved these two characters and the supporting cast are just as fascinating and promise a great series to come!

Great writing with the right amount of drama and suspense, love and romance, and intrigue leaving you wanting more of the Kings of Mayhem.

Great start to a series!

A love you experience once in your life doesn't come around often and when it does it surely is accompanied by some pain and hurt. Read Indy and Cade's story here and see just how it all begins.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3/5 Stars

Mainly because I am not a fan of the woman who moves away and betters her life (even if it is done because of pain) but then comes back to her past with little hesitation and picks up where she left of.
I also don't think men having sex with a bunch of women or being playboys is a sexy trait. I don't know why this is so common in books?

I really did enjoy the writing though and I did like the story and the characters but I felt like certain aspects needed to be expanded upon. Without giving spoilers there was just a lot that could have been explored. Conversations and reasons etc.
The reason why they originally broke up 12 years ago felt like it needed to be explored and the reasoning behind it.

Overall I liked this but it didn't stand out to me. The main thing I liked was the writing. I'll still be continuing this series though.

I love a good MC read and this is one of them. I loved reading about how Indy and Cade first met and how they grew up together. I hated the reason they broke up, but it was written well. Looking forward to reading more!

Unfortunately I was unable to finish this book. I couldn’t connect with the characters and the storyline was one that had been done many times before. I’m also not a big fan of books jumping back and forth between past and present and found I couldn’t focus on any of the past portions.

I love an MC series and I loved this.

This is the first book in the series and introduces us to the Kings of Mayhem, specifically Cade and Indy. This book drew me in from the first page and I couldn't put it down. I am thankful for the NetGalley gods for approving this one and the second book as I read them back to back.

This book introduces all the characters of the club and you get to see the dynamics between them all. The central plot is the second chance romance between Indy and Cade. As a reader you are routing for them and understand why Indy stayed away for so long. They were destined so she could try to deny it but in the end they had to be together.

The book ends with a death where you know the lives of the Kings of Mayhem will be forever altered - so straight on to book 2 I go!!

**I received a copy of Kings of Mayhem from Xpresso Book Tours and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. The opinions expressed below are mine alone and not solicited in any way**

Kings of Mayhem by Penny Dee is the first book in her new King of Mayhem MC series. This is the first time I've read her books and most likely won't be the last. But you did need to know that this ends in a cliffhanger but don't worry the next one Brothers in Arms is due out in February. Whew! I was worried because I just HAVE to know how the MC resolves the story! This is Cade and Indigo's story. Yes, it's filled with angst but the friendship then eventually love is awesome.

Indigo Parrish moved next door to Cade Calley and they soon become best friends. Cade will protect her with his life but when a mistake is made during the twilight of their senior year of high school, it will break them both. However when Indy comes back to Destiny, MS for her father can both Cade and Indy find their happily ever after? Or will she run from him again back to Seattle and her job as a Trauma doctor?

Cade Calley has always known that he'd eventually lead the Kings of Mayhem MC that was started by his grandfather. But when he meets Indy as a five-year-old boy little does he know that she'll become the most important girl to him. But when they make plans to leave the MC and go to college together his father will find a way to break them up leading to 12 years apart from his love. There is another MC that wants their turf but how do they do this without causing an all out war between them? When Cade and Indy are finally able to dream of a HEA will it all come crashing down due to an offer to go to refuse?

Well, I'm off to read the next book because well I just have to find out how this all gets resolved.

This is my first book by this author and I am also not a big fan of motorcyle club romances but the description of this story sounded intriguing so I read this story. I really liked it, the only thing I hated and I felt was not needed was that it ends on a cliff hanger and I was never warned about that in the description of the story. Had that not happened, I would have loved this story because I really loved Cade and Indy and their romance.

Cade and Indy were in love as kids and planned to go off to college together until Indy catches him having sex with someone else. Now 12 years later her dad is dead and she is back for the funeral. She is now a successful doctor in Seattle. But Cade wants her back and he fights for her heart.

I really enjoyed this story. I thought it was well writtend and I liked the storyline alot. I just really hated the ending. While I enjoyed it, I won't be reading the next book because I was annoyed about the cliff hanger.

The format of this book is awful, the constant back and forth into the past, it made the book so long and extra wordy, it could have been edited out and it would have made the book better. There were so many missing pieces and parts of the book that just don’t make sense. There is no way in hell that Cade would have let Indy make a scene in the bar at a party with all of the club members around and embarrassed herself, her family and him. He would have hauled her drunk ass away and made it a private conversation, like it should have been. The best part was when he fly to Seattle after her and was talking to her on the phone and was right outside her place,it was super romantic and just showed how much he loves Indy. However, there is so much of this book that is confusing or needs to be edited for consistency in story that it was hard to follow and read. This book is way to long and really needs to be condensed and the story line needs to be tightened up.

The Kings of Mayhem is the first book in a great new series.

The story follows Cade and Indy, who have been best friends since they were 5 years old, but something happened to tear them apart—no spoilers here! She flees the MC life to become a doctor in Seattle leaving everyone behind her, but when a tragedy takes her back home she comes face to face with Cade and her unresolved feelings.

Told from the point of view of both Cade and Indy we get an insight into what makes both of them tick. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions peppered with sex scenes that are hot, hot, hot!
If you like your romance steamy and your heroes big, strong and all man, then you’ll love Kings of Mayhem as much as I do.

Oh, and just so you know, Penny Dee writes some of the hottest sex scenes I’ve ever read.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. This a great start to a new MC series. Indigo is back home after a twelve year absence due to the death of her father. Growing up part of the MC family she’s not sure how to deal with seeing them especially her childhood best friend/ boyfriend Cade. Both have never truly recovered from the incident that caused them to split but their chemistry never died and has enough heat to burn. The story does go back and forth between old and new events, which usually I find annoying but is done so seemlessly that it seems natural. This book has some sad moments that made me cry, funny ones where I laughed out loud , a bit of mystery and a lot of heat. A definite great MC read BUT there is a bit of a cliffhanger ending, although it doesn’t seem like you’ll have to wait to long. 4.5 stars

I love a good MC book but it’s been ages since I’ve read one.
The cover caught my attention because it’s fabulous but the blurb put me off. I’m not a huge fan of second chance romances and it seemed obvious “He broke me once...” meant he cheated on her. I’m not a huge fan of cheating either so I decided to just skip this one. But then the second book Brothers in Arms caught my attention and I knew I wanted to read that which meant reading this one first.
I scanned the reviews and found one that said when all was said and done they sided with Cade over the cheating so I was good to go.

This book was a pleasant surprise. It starts when Cade and Indy are both eighteen and then moves on twelve years to the present. And this is how their story unfolds.
We see the people they are today. Who they used to be. What they could have been.

I really enjoyed this book and I’m so glad I took the chance. And yes I agree with the other reviewer I’m totally team Cade.

It’s nicely told and a nice mix of past and present. We meet the members of the MC and I’m totally in love with Cade. I mean seriously who wouldn’t be?

I’m not sure what else to say apart from I can’t wait to read the next book. This ends on a cliffhanger so hopefully I won’t have to wait long.

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley.

A great new MC series you will want to read!

This book right here.... OMG kept me on my toes. I finished it in one sitting. The author had me captivated the whole time. Emotionally drained lol but love this book. Can not wait for the next one!!!

When I read the synopsis on this book it intrigued me, because I'm a hopeless romantic. This is my first time reading a book from this Author. But wow is all I can say. I really love a book that gives you rich characters, you dig into the past and you get to know the characters well. They become family to you. You are cheering for the main characters to talk to each other, get to know each other again. I can honestly say I got this book and I could not put it down.

Cade and Indy have been best friends since they were 5 years old. Didn't start dating until they were Juniors in High School. They had plans for college, then one night all the plans went to hell. Now it is 12 years later and Indy had to come home and bury her daddy. Seeing your first love all the feelings come back. She is torn between past and present. The author gives you a lot of background, and I sucked it up. Love detailed characters and plots.

Did I get my HEA, yes, but the story leaves you on a cliffhanger. I have to admit I was shocked. Look forward to the next book. Because I want to know how it is going to end.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I don’t read a lot of MC books but the blurb was interesting and I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did so. This book was quite good and an easy read. This is a second chance romance about Cade and Indy. The two grew up together and were very close best friends. As teenagers, this close bond segued into becoming an item. For Indy, Cade represented safety, loyalty, and the man who loved her desperately. Until,one day it all ended - just like that. Indy walked in after a party at the MC clubhouse only to find her boyfriend sleeping with another woman. Even though we find out later he was drugged and set up, it did not stop the sudden ending to his relationship with Indy.

Twelve years later, Indy is working as a doctor at the other end of the country. After learning about her father’s death, she returns to her childhood home she never visited once she left. She understands she must finally confront her past inc,using Cade. Easier said that done.

This book is in alternating POVs between Cade and Indy. In addition, it alternates between the past and the present. While the author handled this quite well, I’m not at all a fan of flashback chapters. Even the very best at this style makes the whole story a bit clunky and pulls you out of the story a bit.

Overall, I was quite pleased with this book. Sometimes I thought Indy was a bit ridiculous and Cade was a bit of a surprise since he was quite alpha without veering into alphahole territory. Of note, the book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. Four stars.

Now that was an amazing story!!

I loved all the characters the layout of the story and the way it was written.

I FREAKING LOVED ALL OF IT!!!!!

Cade: Handsome and sweet and a protector. Stuffs up a bit.

Indy: Beautiful, smart and headstrong. Has issues, doesn’t know where she belongs

The story as a whole is written beautifully I laughed, I cried and I swooned. I loved that Cade and Indy had loved each other since they were young and it felt so believable, and cute and sweet and beautiful. There are so many heartfelt moments in this book and everything is explained perfectly, the past, the present, melds sooo well!! The side characters are a hoot and a half and I cannot wait to read their stories.

Although this ends on a cliffhanger there isn’t too much left in the air other than the story will continue and its going to be bloody brilliant if this book is any indication.

All up I loved it and I cannot wait to carry on with the rest of the series and add Penny Dee to my must read authors list.
