'IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS' is the first full length romance book in the series 'CRULL BOYS,' by new to me author 'C. Lymari.' Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
This was a quick read which was over with in no time at all, the beginning felt a wee bit off, as though these were carry over characters from another book which made it a tad hard to get into, but the further you get into it we have flash backs to the past, which clears things up nicely and starts to make sense. Another tiny little niggle was the amount of times 'Chaos' was mentioned in reference to the title of the book. But other than these small mentions I enjoyed what I did read and can't wait to sign up for the next book as I'm keen to see how this all plays out.
Our heroine, Finley is the daughter of one of the deceased founders and she grows up with the other founding family the Crulls who take her in when she's orphaned at the age of thirteen.
Finley was always promised to marry Huxley at an early age by the two founding fathers, but she'd always had feelings for the eldest brother Nashton. He was the one that always protected her and sheltered her from the storm.
She was in my head; she was the current flowing in my veins-she was poison to my heart. Something to want but would kill me if I had it.
But love can also be a weakness which was drummed into her at a young age.
Broken loyalties, Forbidden love, Murder, Brother against brother and a MC club at the crux of it all.

I loved this book so much. A darker romance with MC ties, forbidden love, a badass female heroine, a swoonyworthy hero and a truck load of drama and danger.
Nash and Finley have loved each other all of their lives, whether they knew it or not. But love has no place in their dangerous world and is considered a weakness. Finley was raised by her ruthless father to be a king in a life where women are seen more as possessions. She is strong, smart, fierce and a force to be reckoned with. Nash has all of the attributes I love best in an alphahole but he has his totally swoonworthy moments too. He is cruel at times but never underestimates Finley's strength or worth.
I love that we get both Finley and Nash's perspectives. Being able to get inside both characters heads is always my favourite style of writing and these characters were both so intriguing.
This was such a quick read and I devoured it in hours. I can't wait to see where the series goes. Loved it!

***4,5 "My damnation!!!" stars***
AVAILABLE NOW!!!
"Some people survive chaos, and that's how they grow...
And some people thrive in chaos, because chaos is all they know."
Just to be clear, I'm claiming Nash!!!
NASH IS MINEEEE!!!! Do you hear me, Claudia???
LOL!!!
Crull Manor, a place of dreams and nightmares...
Well, this was my very first book by Claudia Lymari and it had everything that I'm loving in a book!!!
Yep, in the beginning things seemed a little bit confusing, but very quickly and with some trips to the past, I managed to understand what was really happening in here!!!
Nash and Finlay had stolen the impressions and I was drown toward them and their scenes together. They were making me all hot and bothered and I was craving more!!!
"If I couldn't be in the arms of the Crull boy I wanted, then I wanted to be my own king."
Well, Finlay is back to the place that she had run away from years ago, and she is forced to get a reality check where it is expected of her to marry her former best friend, Hux, while her heart is still beating wildly for his older brother!!!
At the same time, there are many crazy things that are happening on the background...
Someone is after Finlay, Nash and the rest of the Crull clan... As and their MC's family, Death Disciples.
So, who are after him??? Who is the traitor among them???
And how Finlay and Nash will manage to overcome their love for each other???
"I don't need a Crull boy taking care of me."
"Baby... I'll always take care of you."
"You really mean that?"
"Yeah."
"Do me a favor, Nash?"
"What?"
"Don't die for me."
"I can't promise you that."
I really loved this story and I fell hard for both Finlay and Nash.
Nash was broody and very skillful. He was born to be a protector and even though he didn't want to stand against his own brother, he couldn't go against his own heart, even though he tried really hard.
Finlay was his and it was time to act accordingly, even though he knew that someone would get hurt at the end...
"She was in my head; she was a current flowing in my veins -she was poison to my heart. Something to want but would kill me if I had it."
"To have you, it would mean to break my little brother's heart, and I'd rather break my own."
Finlay wasn't a damsel in need of a white knight to save her.
In her world, love meant weakness and she was taught by her father that she could be the king of her story and not the helpless princess...
Unfortunately for her, her father's lessons on the heart matters didn't worth too much since her heart had decide a long time ago that she would belong to Nash Crull... and neither her fiancee could changed that fact!!!
"We married for power, not for love, because marrying the person you loved would leave you blind."
"Maybe I was playing with fire, but what was life without getting burned?"
Nash and Finlay are trapped in a very complicated situation.
They had too many unresolved issues between them and their feelings are not helping matters...
They really tried to stay away from each other, but their souls recognized their other half and it was impossible to stay away...
Honestly, I was living for the moments that these two were on the same space together...
Sparkles were flying and they were making me aching for more...
But they are living in a world full of betrayal and false hopes. So what will happen after all???
"Falling in love sucked ass. It was like a drug that took you high, and then the moment it got taken away, the crazsh splintered you beyond repair."
Honestly, this story had too much things that were happening on the background that were keeping you on you toes and you were craving for more...
And now, I'm craving the next story... I loved Duncan very much, while I disliked Huxley, but honestly, I can not wait for both stories!!!!
Who knows??? I might adore Hux at the end!!!
"The best type of love was the forbidden one because, in stolen moments, you knew the worth of that love."
**I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review**

Forbidden love. Broken loyalty. Crull and Primrose. A motorcycle club with enemies to add to the craziness! Finley Primrose was raised along side the three Crull brothers. She has been in love with Nashton as far back as she can remember but sheโs promised to another brother.
I loved this book! It was heartbreaking yet heartwarming. It was steamy and Nashton Crull is hot as sin! Finley is a badass who was raised to always be able to stand on her own which is always an A+ in my opinion when reading a story! This story was so different and intriguing with so many twists!! Iโm so excited for the next one!

In the Midst of Chaos takes readers on a wild, forbidden, and addictive ride that will keep you up late turning the pages for more, more, more of Finley and Nashton's story! This book is delicious and the story had me gasping more than once. I was on the edge of my seat to find out what happened next. I loved Finley's strength and Nash was perfection--sexy, domineering, and soft for Finley. I loved their push and pull and their soulmates vibes! This is just the beginning and I can't wait for more of the Crull boys!

In The Midst of Chaos is the first in C. Lymari's new series, The Crull Boys. It's a forbidden romance that is full of mysteries, angst, and suspense and I loved every minute of it.
Finley Primrose was raised by her father in a way many people would find cruel and abusive, but he wanted her prepared in the event the worst ever happened.
She was raised alongside the Crull brothers, Nashton, Huxley and Duncan. She's in love with the oldest but is supposed to marry the middle brother. Hello drama!
This is told in two POV's and both POV's go back and forth between the present and the past. Both tenses are JUICY! As soon as it flips from past to present or vice versa, I'm screaming "No!" because I want more of both! There are just enough gaps that as the story progresses and it's filling in the pieces of the puzzle, the biggest pieces are still waiting to be revealed.
Let's not forget the side characters. As the story shifts, I found the pull I had for the other characters changing. I can't wait to see how this series plays out because there's still so much drama waiting to unfold.
I absolutely love C. Lymari's writing style! She pushes boundaries just enough and her storytelling makes me forget I'm reading the story. I feel as though I'm right there beside the characters observing everything unfold right along with them!

Ok I'm not sure what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't this!
I couldn't put this book down, whatever you're expecting from reading the blurb, forget it and just embrace the epicness that was this book.
The characters and plot blew my mind.
There isn't actually a lot that I can say, as this book and it's contents were definitely a well hidden surprise, just know you'll be run through a gamut of emotions over and over, and that the female main character's strength amongst bull headed men is inspiring. Definitely recommend and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Twisty intrigue and forsaken love
A great romance depicting the dealings within the motorcycle world wavering between its dark-side and legitimate one as well as the story of two star-crossed lovers, not promised to each other. Though not really a triangle, there was definitely unbidden love interests.
A great deal of intrigue in this story, intertwining characters with hidden agendas, misguided deeds of partners who married for purpose rather than love. Who should be trusted? I loved the main characters, Finley and Nash. Finley showed amazing strength with self-confidence and without bravado; Nash was the alpha hero who demonstrated vulnerability and empathy towards others, in particular his family. There was strength in his softness. The story had a some push and pull due to Nash's caring about the feeling of others and the rules of the club at his expense.
This was a different motorcycle story; it was high in intrigue, MC factions, a troubled hero who carried the weight of others in his heart, and strong familial ties. Again, great characters. It was a medium burn, which, in some parts, challenged my attention as well as all the interleaving character activity, but I could recognize an enjoyable tale. Steam-level was hot, not necessarily descriptive, but loved the confidence of both main characters in the love scenes. Finley was simply cool.
While the intertwining stories came to a close, their fall out gave rise to unrest in the very themes of the book: a brother's broken love, betrayal, and the club. Adventures await the next book.

January 8, 2026I absolutely LOVED this book. C. Lymari is a master storyteller, weaving intrigue, drama and angst around Finley and Nashton's forbidden romance. The story drew me in from the first page, and didn't let up until the last.
C. Lymari always writes strong heroines, and Finley is my new favourite! She has passion and loyalty and stubborness, and her push and pull with Nash is just perfection.
And Nash...hello new book boyfriend ๐ฅ
A must-read!

OMG!!!! this book is EVERYTHING!!! from page number one, I was hooked to this story and I devoured this book in one sitting.
The intensity of this book, the forbidden factor , secrets, lies, betrayals and sin made this story the perfect book for me.
Finley is the heir of a corrupt empire, she had to grow up very quickly after loosing her parents, but you see her father teach her how to be a king among men. When she came to live with the Crull brothers things change. So when she felt in love she had to decide between her heart and her head.
Nashton is the older Crull brother and the one who is in charge to protect. Unfortunately for him he felt in love with the forbidden, his brother's fiancรฉ. So he push her away.
When tragedy strikes and war is starting Finley is forced to come home and face the person who broke her heart. She is not the same girl as before and she is determined to take the reins of her empire back.
This story is an emotional rollercoaster of emotions, a forbidden love story that you don't want to miss reading.

OMG, where do I begin writing this review? I absolutely loved this story
I literally could not put it down I was hooked and I want more from the Crull boys...even the douchecanoe brother.
Claudia once again, sucks you in, takes you on a journey and spits you out again...I love her words and cannot wait for more.

Claudia had me hooked from the word โGoโ. I donโt know how she does it, but I was salivating for more. I needed all the words, and I could not read it fast enough.
In The Midst of Chaos is the first book in her, โCrull Brothersโ series. This book contained all things needed for a recipe of chaos. Darker romance, a bada@@ heroine, Nashton (๐sigh), drama, angst, and mischief. Add on top of that there are ties between the Crulls and the Death Disciples, MC. All rolled together in a deliciously intriguing book.
Finley Primrose. Finley is the bada@@ heroine that I LOVE to see in a story. She knows her place in the family but is not going to let anyone tell her what to do. She is fierce, determined, and in love with a Crull brother. Which one is it though, as she is promised to Huxley in an arranged marriage. I wonder how well that is going to work out? ๐
The Crull brothers are Nashton, Huxley, and Duncan. Nashton is the main hero, although all brothers play a part in this story. This story is truly about the Crull and Primrose families, so itโs a treat that we get to read about all the characters involved.
In The Midst Of Chaos is that book that just pulls you in and takes you on a ride from one page to the next. I absolutely adored all aspects of ITMOC. The mystery, the intrigue, the highs and lows, the romance and rekindling of love, twists and turns, and the uncovering of some big โole secrets that will test them as a family. I am so eager and anxious to find out what comes next, I feel like my heart is in my throat waiting with anticipation.

WTAF!!!! Iโm still in a bit of a hangover after reading ITMOC!!!
C Lymari is an actual mistress of the dark worlds that she creates. Forbidden love, dark MC ties, murder, mystery, and enough angst to keep you scrolling through those pages without giving a thought to stopping.
Nash and Duncan be still my beating heart. All that lickable darkness inside that tattooed hardness, yes please.
The story casts enough webs out to hopefully ensnare prey for more books to come from Crull Manor. I canโt wait for the next one, to see how this story and series continues

C.lymari has such a way with words and she sucks you in from the very first page with this new dark Mc romance.
Meet the Crull boys, boys who have lost their mother at a young age and are caught up in the founding families drama. Finley is also from a founding family and has been bought up to be a strong heroine and I absolutely loved her.

In The Midst Of Chaos is the first book in this MC series and is so full of emotion and angst. Finley is promised to marry Huxley, but she's been in love with his brother Nashton since she was a little girl.

The push and pull between these two is so strong that it's felt from the prologue til the end. From a young age, they were taught to never marry for love because that would be putting someone else above the club and showing weakness. Finley makes her choice solely upon this rule, but her heart doesn't seem to agree.

When a threat makes an appearance, Nash does what he feels best to keep Finley safe, even though it breaks his own heart. Finley is kept in the dark and pushed away, but years later her feelings still haven't changed when faced with a threat again. Stolen moments here and there, all hidden from Huxley due to the level of betrayal. What happens when all comes to light? The level of intensity is off the charts. This book hurt. The pain was real. I felt it all.

In the midst of chaos is my first read by C.Lymari and rest assured this will not be my last I went in blind with this book so I didnโt know what to expect but I can tell you it wasnโt this โIn the midstโ blew my mind it was epic, raw, dark and delicious
Finley is promised to one man but in love with another but love has no place in their world love is a weakness and can be used against them by their enemies Finley was raised by her father in a way that may seem cruel but he knew how strong she would have to be to survive their world
In the midst of chaos is a dark mc romance with plenty of twists and turns, nail biting suspense and a forbidden romance that is so hot and steamy that you will need a dozen cold showers I canโt recommend this book enough and I canโt wait to read more from this author
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I enjoyed this book very much. While it is an MC themed book, parts of it feels very โmafiaโ to me as well. I loved Finley, the MFC, shes strong and stands up for herself in a male dominated field and I absolutely loved that. I do think it felt a bit rushed in certain areas, but other then that I really did enjoy this. And highly recommend this book! And itโs coming series!

Perfection from start to finish.
Nash was just SWOONY~ I mean I was sunk the moment I started.
Finley was such a bad *** I loved her.
C Lymari always brings epic stories to life and this was no different.
The angst and ultimate book boyfriend vibes in Nash was just perfection.
Duncan, gah he had me and I seriously fell in love with his charm and wittt banter.
The ending made me crave the next book and need answers like stat!
Nash and Finley together were explosive.
There was heartache, action and enough steam to have you devour this book.

Nash was a hot alpha with a temper, that was torn between family loyalty and Love.
Finley is the daughter of one of the deceased founders and she grows up with the other founding family.
Finley fell inlove with Nash from a young age, but she was always told dont marry for love its a weakness so when she was young she chose Nashton's younger brother Huxley to marry.
There was so much heartache and action going on in this book that truely made you not want to put the book down.
The steamy chemistry that Finley and Nash had for eachother was off the charts HOT!!!!

This is a review I've put off writing for over a week because I just cannot do this book justice. I have been thinking about the plot and the characters over and over again.
Huxley caught my eye from the beginning and he is extremely misunderstood. Typical me loving the one with bad boy vibes! Nash is everything I thought him to be, and boy does his girl keep him on his toes.
Finley...wow. C.Lymari writes an incredible heroine and this babe is top of the list. She is epic, strong, sassy, sexy and plain bad bleep! I loved her. Can you tell? Incredible world-building, full of suspense and passion. When I tell you it gets steamy...it gets STEAMY!
You are all in for a wild ride with this one...as C.Lymari said to me...enjoy the ride.

โThe best type of love was the forbidden one because, in stolen moments, you knew the worth of that love. In stolen moments, you get a taste of a lifetime, and it was hard to compare anything after that.โ
In The Midst of Chaos draws the reader into the Motorcycle Club with the Crulls and the Primroses. Both are powerful families in the club who are bound together by blood, loyalty and family and are destined to rule the club together. I will admit that I donโt typically read MC romances, but C. Lymari quickly drew me into the intrigue and the dark romance of Nash and Finley.
Finley has been promised to Nashโs brother, but she is in love with Nash. Nash knows Finley isnโt his, but heโs unable to deny his love for her and will do anything in his power to protect her even if that means she has to marry his brother.
โI wanted someone to love me enough to choose me over my legacy. To see me over my last name. I wanted someone to fight for me because losing me was not an option. Most of all, I wanted that person to be Nash.โ
Finley is a firecracker. Her father raised her to be a king, destined to rule the MC and she will not settle for less. Sheโs opinionated, stubborn, and passionate. Her feelings for Nash are complicated and she fights the attraction but their chemistry is too combustible.
โI didnโt think she made me vulnerable; if anything she made me stronger. With her, I felt like I could conquer the world. There were no limitations. She made is seem like all I had to do was want it and it would be mine. And the only thing I wanted was her.โ
Nash is also a born leader. He has sacrificed everything for his family, but when Finley is threatened, he will move heaven and earth to make sure she is safe. His love for her is fiery and everything that Finley has always wanted.
There are a lot of twists and turns and surprises in this story and it will keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Boundaries are crossed, families are destroyed and lives are ruined, but underlying everything is the intense connection of Finley and Nash. They are each otherโs destiny and watching them fight to be together will break your heart and have you rooting for them to find a way to be together.

She was no longer the little girl who he loved instead she was this cold woman who carved her own path. And somehow he knew that this time it was going to be her who would destroy him.
Overall Opinion :
This is not the first book that I have read by this author and I absolutely love her writing!! One book is done and I know that this whole series is going to be so amazing!
Nash and Finley have amazing chemistry and I just knew that no matter how much hurt these two have, they were going to end up together. The storyline was good but it didn't have any major plot twists. I liked the flow of the story, it didn't have a lot of angst but had it some amount. The author gave a smooth finish to the story and I can't wait for the next books in this series!!
A must read for all the contemporary Romance lovers who would like their story with a tinge of darkness and suspense!

C. Lymari is not writing heart and flowers romance. When you enter into her world you have to forget the concept of the sweet romance. Because there's nothing sweet in there. Or maybe she will torture you slowly till give you some.... Sweetness.
This story.... Well I'll be honest. The beginning was a little shocking, strong, I wonโt say too much, but it will anticipated "the chaos" you're about to get in. Page after page there's an escalation of drama, frustration, angst, secrets. Everything in this story is intense, love, ambition, addiction, passion. It's all or nothing. It's a powerful and psyco way to keep you on edge. To make you go crazy, to scream, to hate or to fell in love, but in the end is a game of feelings. Claudia just enjoys lighting the past and the present. Just to make her characters more authentic more damaged than usual.
It's not just for everyone to write such kind of stories, and obviously it's not for everyone to read, but if you dare, you want regret it, if you dare you'll end up wanting more.
More and more and more....
So keep writing, Claudia and give us moreeeeee!!!!!

Finley grew up in a world of violence and privilege. She was the spoiled princess to many. Her father didnโt raise a princess he raised her to be King! She was not treated like she was different because she was female. He raised her like he would a son. He didnโt keep her in the dark about the world they lived in. She made adult decisions as a child. She embraced it because that was what she knew. A MC life hidden behind a corporate face.
She is all grown up and some choices are coming back to bite. She is in love with one of the Crull boys but promised to another. A lot is going on at Crull Manor. A sexy story of Secrets, hidden love. murder, betrayal, a test of loyalty. To survive it will be man vs woman, brother vs brother. Once you read this you will be eager to see what is next.

I started this book from start to finish in one day. I needed to know what was going to happen next. Finny and Nash with their amazing connection, but when a lie is told to protect the other can they come back from it? This book gripped me from the beginning and had me at the edge of my seat. Finnley is a chic who is not to be messed with and the Cruel boys and everyone else will learn this very quickly. This book is full of twists and turns and you unravel who really is loyal and who isn't. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

ARC Review:
Wow!!! In love with this new universe C. Lymari has created. Nash and Finley have smoking chemistry, and their story is heartbreaking and rewarding. Nash is his own breed of alpha king, so much deeper than he lets us see in the beginning. Driven by love and the need to protect Finley. Finley is a badass, growing into a Queen in an MC world so traditionally run by men. We get the introductory view into this original MC world, unique from any other. These Crull boys are so hot, and I canโt wait for more of them. I canโt wait to see the bond of this family evolve and grow. I have so many questions about this world, itโs workings, and itโs threats. Book 2 better come soon!!!!!!

In the midst of chaos is a new series by C Lymari and if you love mc romances with a forbidden twist this book is definitely for you! Finley is the daughter of one of the deceased founders and she grows up with the other founding family the Crulls. Over her lifetime she falls for oldest brother Nash, yet finds herself in an arranged marriage to the middle brother Huxley. Nash has loved Finley almost just as long but feels a loyalty to his brother. This book has plenty of angst which is where C lymari truly shines. My favorite books of hers are the ones showcasing the push pull and forbidden elements. As a heroine Finley is unapologetically herself and a strong leader refusing to fit into a box. Nash is a great alpha torn between family and love. I was extremely excited for this book and it did not disappoint! There was steam, mystery and an ending that leaves you interested in where the series will take off next.
