Ruger is Chastity's uncle's best friend. And he is 16 years older than she is. But she has always had a crush on him. When she has to find somewhere to stay while her apartment is uninhabitable for a few weeks, Ruger offers her his guest room. But when they're sharing space, can they ignore the chemistry that they're feeling?

I loved being back in this world. I had a great time getting immersed back in the Kings of Mayhem. I really enjoyed reading about Ruger and Chastity. I loved them together and really enjoyed seeing them grow together. I do feel like the suspense of the new drug dealer in town was a bit of an afterthought and I wish that there was a little bit more focus put on that part of the story. I'm excited to get back in this series!

Talk about an older guy romance! Not only is he 16 years older than her but he is best friends with her uncle that sees her as his daughter. No pressure right? But I guess the heart wants what the heart wants.....

I have loved reading the Kings of Mayhem MC series and now we get the Club Princess' story and who would have expected it would be one of the guys that was there when she was born?! This book is not easy with all of the obstacles in the way but it was a gritty and sweet romance with two people that know what they want but just have to jump through a few hoops.

All in all, this was a great addition to the series and setting things up for at least another book too! I love how this has the grittiness of the MC life, but it is not too hardcore though these guys (and girls) are freaking tough as all get out. This story was somehow sweet and hot at the same time, well done Penny Dee, I am definitely a fan!! 5 outta 5 stars!

Off Limits is the fifth book in the Kings of Mayhem series. I enjoyed it even though I haven't read the earlier books yet. That said, I plan to read them at my earliest opportunity. I'm looking forward to getting the back story on the other characters.

Motor Cycle Club romances are my kryptonite. Ever since I watched Sons of Anarchy, it's become one of my favorite tropes. Our hero, Ruger is depicted as a good guy (by MC standards) who tries to do the right thing by not pursuing Chastity. He knows she's "off limits" per his MC prez and best friend, Bull. Unfortunately, their chemistry is just too strong and eventually he isn't able to fight the pull. Chastitiy is the MC princess and Bull's niece. She's struggled trying to find guys to date because of who her uncle is and also the fact that she has older brothers who are also members of the club. It tends to frighten off most men.

The plot line was fairly predictable for the most part. However, I still really enjoyed it.

“I knew then that this was going to happen. That we were about to break all the rules. And that when we did, there would be no turning back."

Ok... this book was worth sticking it out with this series. I’m starting to feel these characters in this MC club. The first 2 books were not for me. I wanted to give up. But I had already bought all the book leading up to this book. So I was committed to seeing this series through. Biker Baby (book 3) my heart started to warm up to these characters. Hell on Wheels (book 4) I still felt the same. But this book. I really, really liked Ruger & Chastity.

Ruger was 16... almost 17 years older than Chastity. He was way more settled then a younger guys in the MC. He was done with sleeping around. He was at the stage of life where he wanted something different. Chastity was a surprise and an eye opener for him. He didn’t know he needed her until she moved into his house and showed him what it was like to be around someone on a whole different level.

“I was old school. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve popped a few cherries in my lifetime, but in my youth, not as a thirty-nine-year-old man to a woman almost seventeen years my junior.”

Chastity had to break down Rugers walls. First off... she had to get him past her being untouchable. Since she was the niece of the president of the MC. Ruger knew he couldn’t be with her. Then you have Chastity 3 brothers. Throw in the fact that Ruger was Bull’s best friend and he was crossing some major lines with all that. He was struggling with his feelings.
But Chastity wasn't giving up on what she wanted and what she knew he wanted.

“I don’t want you because of how old you are, or what you are, I want you because of who you are. Age shouldn’t matter. And it doesn’t, not to me.”

I wasn’t feeling the whole Astrid thing. I certainly thought Chastity should’ve put a little more fight with Ruger when he came back. But overall I’m happy how things turned out. The surprise drama close to the end of the book caught me by surprise! I couldn’t believe it. I’m glad it all was ok. But man... I was upset! 😂

I’m really looking forward to reading Bull’s story next! We find out a little more a out him in this book. Now I really can’t wait to get into his story.

I LOVED this book. Chasity and Ruger were PERFECT. I am a sucker for age gap. I am obsessed with forbidden romance. And I especially love that even though this book wasnt book 1 in the series it was a standalone because I hadnt read the others before this one. I am definitely a fan of this author and plan to read and buy ALL the books. 5 stars!

Eu amo um bom livro de motoqueiro, sério, se tiver moto me chama que eu vou. Porém, algumas coisas me incomodaram nesse livro, a primeira delas foi a diferença de idade, que foi bem trabalhada pela autora, incluindo reflexões acerca de como isso vai interferir na relação dos personagens no futuro. Além disso, tudo que poderia acontecer com esse casal, aconteceu, todo tipo de desgraça e sinceramente quando eu vi que o livro tinha apenas 290 páginas eu fiquei chocada por que a autora fez um mundo inteiro de coisas acontecerem.
.

O ponto super positivo desse livro é que é free chernoboy. Sim, o Ruger é um motoqueiro, mas ele não é tão possessivo e ciumento como poderia ser. Além disso o livro possui cenas hot bem maravilhosas.

Enfim, para quem curte um motoqueiro esse vai ser um livro ok.

***3 Stars***

Overall, I liked the book. I liked getting to hang out with the Kings and their Queens. The issue they are dealing with was done well, but I felt like I needed a little more when it came to Ruger and Chastity. This isn’t to say that I didn’t like them, or that I had any issues with them getting their HEA, but I needed a little more time with them to feel that deeper, I’m all in, you’re my ride or die connection between them.

As I said, I liked Ruger and Chastitiy. Ruger is loyal, solid and a good man. Chastity is sweet, sassy and working at figuring out just what she wants for her future. Their journey to their HEA was, for the most part, enjoyable. It was slow burn with a heavy dose of push/pull due to the age gap thing and loyalty to the MC Prez thing, there was also a dash of outside drama that I got, but could have done without. But I did like Chas and Ruger together. They had a flow that I enjoyed, and though I was happy with how they got their HEA, I could have used more time with them solidifying this new twist to their relationship.

Outside of the romance side of things, I loved getting to hang out with the Kings and their Queens and everyone in between. And I will say that while Bull’s reaction was extreme, I loved how Chastity’s brothers and mom handled finding out who she gave her heart to. And speaking of Bull, he’s the one that’s intrigued me from the start of the series and I cannot wait to get my hands on book!

I wanted to love the book it just fell flat for me. Good characters and a great potential story but i don't know why but the writing just didn't capture me.

Off Limits (Kings of Mayhem Book 5) – Penny Dee

I was given an advanced copy of the book from the publisher.

I haven't read any of the previous Kings of Mayhem books nor have I read anything written by Penny Dee.

“Off Limits” is the fifth book in Penny Dee's Kings of Mayhem series that follows the stories of members of the Kings of Mayhem MC and their families.

Chastity is 22 years old, works part time and is studying to become a paramedic but she was a virgin. While that might be surprising to learn knowing who her brothers and family were soon make this all clear. Her brothers were the notorious Calley brothers, Kings of Mayhem, and her Uncle Bull was the President of the Kings of Mayhem. So yes, boys and the young men in town tend to run in the other direction once they discover this interesting tid bit about her life.

Then there is Ruger, her Uncle's best friend and almost like a brother to her. Though he is 16 years older than her, she can not seem to get rid of this crush or whatever it is she has for him, and it doesn't seem to want to go away.

But want Chastity doesn't know Bull has warned everyone member of the club in some not so uncertain terms that if they touch her or even think about it well, their life may just not be worth living anymore. So Ruger knew she was off limits and wouldn't ever go there, but life had other plans for them.

But when she needed a place to stay Ruger offered her the spare room at his house. As the weeks passed they grew closer, initially both fighting the attraction that was growing between them. But as they were discovering and enjoying what was growing club business and a dark shadow from Ruger's past threatened to end it all before it had a chance to really start. Yet, their love was strong and Chastity and Ruger prepared to face it all together, hopefully they would come out of this stronger.

“Off Limits” was such a surprising read for me. From the cover I expected it to be something along the lines of the TV show “Sons of Anarchy” yet what I story that greeted me on the page was more of a twist with J R Ward's “Black Dagger Brotherhood series” meets “Sons of Anarchy” and was it deliciously good! Real and raw and for me such a delightful and enjoyable guilty pleasure. So if you are missing a little Mayhem in your life I would look this book up. As for me, I'm going to hunt down the rest of this series and read this all over again.

Thanks so much for a wonderful read! Loved the interactions with main characters, the chemistry was on point. I would love to read more from this author! Great job!

Book five opens with Chasity and Rugger, how he came and talked to her when she was outside drawing on the sidewalk. He was the only adult who took the time to listen to her. She gives him a happy ring for he is sad. This is a moment that she has connected with him and has always looked up to him.
Now years later Chasity is back in town and her apartment is unlivable. Not wanting to live with her uncle who is also the club president and her friends who are having a baby Rugger steps up sawing she could stay with him since he has a house, in one of his spare bedrooms. They all agree and so the story begins.
Though there are times when this book gets off track it really does follow along with the other books. It’s really the back and forth about the difference in their ages and when her uncle finds out he thinks that she is taking advantage of by Rugger not that they actually care for one another.
The story was good along with the characters and is very much worth the read.

I wanted to love the book it just fell flat. Good characters, a great potential story but i don't know the writing just didnt capture me.

Thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 5th book in the Kings of Mayhem series but can be read as a standalone. It's an age gap / forbidden romance plus a motorcycle club series so I was instantly drawn to it. Chastity is the MC princess. Everyone knows she is off limits. Despite being the princess of an MC she is strong and independent. Ruger is the biker viking who denies the chemistry between him and Chastity from the start but everyone around them seems to take notice before they do.
Overall I thought this was a susepenseful and intriguing story with well developed characters. I enjoyed the MC world that Penny Dee has created. The characters were wonderully written as was the storyline. I would reccomend this to anyone who loves a good age-gap romance.

I really enjoyed this story, it was well balanced and had some good intrigue to it. I am giving it a 4 as it seemed a touch rushed at the end.

Ruger is sexy and I loved how sweet he was with Chastity. Yes, there was an age difference of 16yrs between them but it did not seem a hindrance I loved that Chastity was strong and a bad a.. b..... The chemistry between these was smoking hot!

Looking forward to the next story from this MC!

Nice, easy flowing story, very enjoyable book

Well, this was fun. It was pretty easy for me to get past the age thing, especially given the way that Chastity had grown up. No one had a harder time than Ruger though, which was pretty much the center of this story.

Ruger couldn’t stay away from Chastity, but he had to, for his own sanity. Then he did the craziest thing ever – invited her to live with him while her apartment was being repaired. He knew it was crazy, but he couldn’t help it. Having her that close, getting to know her even better, proved to be even more temptation than he expected.

It would have been easier on Ruger if Chastity didn’t any qualms about getting closer to Ruger. Time alone was just what she wanted and she was determined to use that time to her advantage. Watching Ruger squirm was what made this one so much fun.

This is one of those series that has grown on me. I loved the supporting characters, mainly because readers had already been introduced to them and it was fun learning more about them and the interactions between them. I’m kinda hoping we’re going to see more of them in future books.

As the first introduction to MC romance in general, I wasn't sure what to expect but Off Limits was fan-freaking-tastic. I loved Ruger. He's level-headed, assertive without being an alpha a-hole. He never burned Chastity. Any issues they had were situational, not because he screwed up or did something wrong which was so effing refreshing. Chastity was equally as awesome. She's confident and strong and feisty. When her life gets put in danger she doesn't fall apart. I loved their chemistry. I loved the way the relationship developed. It all felt well thought out and believable and I'm thrilled to add Penny Dee to my must-read authors list.

Nope. Not for me. Insta-love at its finest! I also did find the age difference - the fact that he knew her as a child, weird as all get out.

Chastity was the MC's little princess. She grew up in the life and for the most part, she loved it... except for the fact that she couldn't catch a proper man or lose her virginity no matter how hard she tried! After a plumbing mishap in her apartment, she needs a temporary place to stay and Ruger has no problem offering her a room. She's cool with it because he's her crush and she can peep him at her convenience. He's cool with it because she's family and he'd do anything for his family. Besides, there's a 'DO NOT TOUCH rule' around Chastity, meaning no club members can seek her out. No problem. Right? WRONG!! Pretty soon, Ruger sees Chastity as the incredibly beautiful woman she is and although he fights the pull hard, their chemistry made them inevitable and he finally stops resisting. They were so sexy and dirty together and I loved how the author developed their relationship.

From the cover to the blurb to the trope... Penny Dee nailed this story! If you love age gap stories as much as I do, the dirtier the better, you're gonna love this book!

I was completely drawn into the blurb of Off Limits by Penny Dee and I am so glad I decided it to read it. It is part of a series, but the first I read and did not feel lost, however, I do want to read more of it soon! This was a forbidden romance with an age gap and was everything you expect from a MC story.

Chastity was raised as part of the Kings of Mayhem MC and was for all purposes their princess. She was strong and determined but also forbidden. Ruger is sixteen years her senior and has watched her grow up. But she is a woman now and their chemistry is undeniable, even if he tries to deny it at every turn. How will it all end? Let me tell you, you definitely want to read and find out!
