Havoc (Masters of Mayhem: Book 3) by Renee Rocco
Genre: General Fiction (Adult), New Adult, Romance
Published: April 19, 2022

Havoc is the third book in the Masters of Mayhem series by Renee Rocco. I had not read the previous book and I was able to enjoy reading this. I think I might have felt more immersed in this world, if I had read the previous books, but I still really enjoyed this as a standalone.

I really enjoyed this steamy romance! I loved the characters, I thought they were well developed and fascinating! I thought the story was great! I loved that it was fast paced and had great twists and turns.

I look forward to reading the other books in the series and any future books! Loved it!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Okay, I loved Havoc's character and the storyline was great. I definitely want to read more books in the series, but I didn't really connect with the FMC.
I'm unsure whether this was because I couldn't relate to much with her, or she just didn't click for me. Hopefully there'll be some stronger leafs in the other books, which I will definitely follow on to at some point.

Great characters besides the FMC well written, tense storyline, full of drama and angst.
Thorough reviews will be on insta and goodreads soon. @readingat_theinsomniabungalow

Renee killed it again with her writing! I loved this book so much! It was the perfect ending to everything! I cant wait to see what else she has in store!

I have really enjoyed this world and the men than author Renee Rocco has created. They are books that draw you in and give you a nice little escape between the pages. Havoc was no exception to the drool worthy steam she creates.

I was given this arc for an honest review.

What a story from beginning to end. Havoc is a guy with a dark past that you get to see slowly throughout this book. When he answers that phone while he is in the middle of business you know it must be someone important on the other end. Was not expecting it to be Kari a woman that was totally opposite to him. Yet he goes to her for she needs his help. Also, the two of them are drawn to each other Havoc just doesn’t know it yet.
The story evolves slowly as you get two see both characters and you begin to see the pain the Havoc has built up over the years. You also get into the reasons for his cutting which I thought was dealt with extremely well and that it was also different having a male being a cutter. Being a parent of one I felt the author did this honestly, but still, be aware that it is in the story.
This is a dark story and yet you do see growth with the characters in this story and each character has strength. I felt really emotional at times but also felt like this was real also. Overall a very good book.

Extreme violence with extreme loyalty - the author weaves a complex world of violence and retribution where the pay-back is as strong as the protection. and the good guys aren't wearing white hats. More an experience than a read - be ready for total immersion..

**4.5 Stars**

This was my first book by this author and it did not disappoint. Kerri finds herself in a scary situation with her life in danger, and calls on the one person she feels like who will be able to keep her safe... Havoc. Havoc is an Enforcer for the Unholy, a gang in Mayhem. Mayhem is worlds away from where Kerri grew up, and their childhoods were vastly different, yet they seem to get each other on a fundamental level. Now that Havoc is responsible for Kerri's safety, it puts them in close proximity for a great deal of time allowing them to get to know each other better and for walls to be broken down.

I really enjoyed the premise of this story and these characters, and Kerri and Havoc had some serious chemistry. This story is dark and twisted and gritty and raw, and these men do some crazy things, but you can tell how protective they are of the people they care about. My heart hurt so much for both Havoc and Discord for all they went through and how much they were obviously still hurting over everything. I completely devoured this book and now need to go back and read the first two in the series so I can have a full picture. The author did a fantastic job of creating a unique set of characters and setting and story line that kept me intrigued and invested from the first page to the last and most definitely wishing for more.

Great story and even better characters!

**Trigger warnings for child abuse and cutting. **

What an horrific childhood Havoc and his brother had and what they became is in direct contrast to the seemingly perfect childhood Kerri had is keeping what is keeping them apart. Until now.

When Kerri needs Havoc he comes. But what she shares with him is not what he saw coming. Now he has to protect her and keep her safe.

What Kerri sees in Havoc is way more than what he sees in himself. Can she convince him of that?

Read their journey in this book, which I will warn you, will be difficult to put down.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hot, steaming and explosive!
Omg Alpha all the way for me.
Kerri needs a hero and boy does she get one in Havoc, he comes to protect what he claims as his and tortures whatever has made her sad!
She can only see his goodness and ignores the parts that kill torture and Maim Bad people! He ensues the bad guy gets more than his just deserts!
This is a love story created from sadness but prove that two damaged halves can make a beautiful ending 💕
Love their chemistry, tension and acceptance of each other x
This is my honest review of a book from NetGalley

Havoc grew up the worst way possible. His mother was willing to do anything to get her next fix of drugs. That meant Havoc and his younger brother were abused among other things as young kids. The only bright light in their childhood was his best friend Faith. She would let them sleepover in her room to escape the nightmare of their lives, if just for a little bit. Now an adult, Havoc has ensured that he will never be hurt again. He joined the Unholy and is in charge of helping take care of criminals who deserve everything coming to them. His best friend from Childhood, Faith is now with one of his Unholy brothers Jester. Faith has a friend that he met a few months ago, Kerri, who is from the wealthy part of town. Kerri grew up with the perfect life but he can’t get her out of his mind. While he is on the job, he gets a phone call from Kerri begging for help. He didn’t know what he was walking into but he was determined to protect her and help her get justice for what has been done to her family. Havoc takes her to a safe house, in the middle of the mountains, where they will never be found. While being stuck in the cabin together, their feelings start to develop for each other. Will they be able to find who shot her father and get who tried to kill her without destroying their relationship? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
