Bikers, Bad boys, and Blood.

Now that Kenshin Yamoto has found solace in Ace’s arms, he is learning to trust again and even to love again. But he isn’t out of danger yet. Randal, the crooked cop who tormented him for over a year, is still alive and looking to get his hands on him once again. The Lords of Chaos will have to step up their game if they’re going to save their newest prospect, and the man who has their Sergeant-at-Arms, Noah "Ace" Murphy, so smitten.

Richard Harrison was given a year to pay his debt to society for his crime, which just got a lot more tempting with Diego "Dragon" Murphy by his side. The older man and inmate makes Richard feel safe, valued, and above all, out of his mind with lust. Being in prison with a biker for a lover presents its own challenges as he delves deeper into Dragon’s world. Will Richard’s desire for Dragon lead him down a dark path, one he may find irresistible?

Roman Alexander is a man who enjoys the finer things in life, and Lords of Chaos princess, Gina Murphy, is no exception. The two have been chatting online for over six months and their long-distance relationship has reached volcanic levels of yearning. When Roman flies into town for a medical conference, Gina makes sure nothing will keep them apart, not even a lockdown order from her father and president of the Lords of Chaos.

About The Maniac Who Wrote These Books

I'm the author of deliciously dark, sexy, and thrilling MM fiction in various genres. I corrupt readers with salacious tales of possessive men staking their claims on the men who make their blood rise in certain places. I know... I should be ashamed, but I'm shameless. I'm a public menace that can't be stopped, and my characters are rude, sassy, charming, arrogant, and hotter than sinners in hell. They tell me what they want and I follow orders. When I'm not hunched over my keyboard typing away, I love to watch movies and TV shows (You should check out my reviews.)

One by one Kenshin’s tormenters will be eliminated. Very satisfying! The biggest bully has to be taken in, Kenshin will have the honor to do what he wants with him.

The club is open with exposure to sexuality. Kenshin doubts it’s something he prefers.
Being outlaws and open and honest about that is something Kenshin does prefer.

We can follow three couples, Kenshin and Ash, Gina and Roman, Richie and Dragon. All three under different circumstances, the last two from prison, quite entertaining. They are all connected through blood and the Lords of Chaos motorcycle club. It’s all about vengeance!!
The men and women are rough and tough, for me, the nicknames and sweetie pie talk was a bit too much the opposite of their personalities, but hey, it didn’t hurt lol.

I loved this read, it was vicious, not for the faint of heart. There is a lot of sweet talk, and a lot of bloody violence, pretty balanced!
Can’t wait for the next installment!

Things got pretty intense and not to mention gory in this instalment.

Kinshin surprised me; I didn’t think he had it in him to do what he did but I was rooting for him.

Dragon and Richie’s arrangement is changing and I’m liking the direction it’s heading. However, I really hope the creepo who threatened Richie gets his just deserts.

Fantastic instalment, looking forward to the next one.

Vengeance is Definitely Better Served Hot!!

“Righteous justice is always the best”. This pronouncement from Ace sets the tone for Vengeance.  Seems like everyone is out for blood. Kenshin is going for the blood of his torturers and The Hellraiser Knights are expected to collect heads. Yes, Vengeance is heating up. This second installment to the Lords of Chaos MC did not disappoint. Like I just said, this is the second book, so if you haven’t read the first one, go grab the first book Outlawed, you will thank me for it.

I love that this book has several storylines, the author takes his time to flesh out each character.  In this book, everyone seems to have settled into their “skin”. The best transformation in my view is from Kenshin. Despite his trauma, Kenshin is soaring magnificently, and Ace is giving him the space and tools to soar.

With the Lords of Chaos, Nicholas Bella created a world that is very inclusive, at least with regards to race and sexual orientation. Some might balk at the somewhat misogynistic views depicted in this biker world. However, this is a fictional male dominated outlaw motorcycle club, I would have been disappointed if they were all hearts and hugs.

This is not to say that Vengeance doesn’t have heart, nor strong female characters. Liliana, Ace’s mom and Aiyanna, his grandmother and matriarch are not to be reckoned with. Bella is known for creating strong uncompromising characters and the ones in this book series does not disappoint. Looking forward to the next book.

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. The whole bloodline within the group of Lords, just love this club the more I read them, the support and badassery is epic! There is so much going on with even the side characters that you just need more, even when the main event players aren't even present. 
 It kinda funny between the Kenshin and Gina duo, Ace is going to go full gray.. Kenshin getting past the mental block of the trauma is wanting to prove to the Ace and the president of the club Dasan, just how far he is willing to go to be accepted. Dang this club has deliberate skills and deadly, is Kenshin is finding in confidence with them. 
 Richie is still working his mind around Dragon, even watching how the few member operates. Their time together in prison is one thing as they may have only six months together but a year is long time to hold out hopes for a unseen future for as Richie gets more of taste for prison life then he was excepting. Richie hiding something from Dragon, wondering what will happens once he learns!  
Kenshin helping Gina sneaking out while on lockdown to meet up with mysterious man. Is Roman everything she believes him to be, but once home is she ready for the MIA stunt she pulled.

Oh my hmmm where to start...how bout amazing! oh yeah, I loves me some Bella writing. The way Nicholas weaves a story, dang just can't help but capture you until the end. I was pretty put out when I had to stop reading to be an adult.

The second part picks right on up where the first book stopped. *eyes the author* good thing too. I loved the 'family' supporting, loving, and being all bad xssed together. Stories within a story was amazing how it flowed from, Gina, from Ace to Dragon easy to read and kept your attention. They say revenge is best served cold but dang, when it served hot and quick is good too. The way Nicholas wrote the scenes I could close my eyes and just picture it happening.

I loved how Ace allowedKinshin the closure he needed to heal. Now Gina and her hmmmfff, somebody better tell Ace. Dang, it! oh oh and the way Mom's was all up in Mav's face whew! give the lady a round of applause. Last but not least Dragon and Richie aw dang. You know... so much I wanna say but not allowed too. Sooo you's are just going to have to read. But Dang!!

yes totally invested in the story as well as the characters gives Nicholas a standing 'O' dang brah. grab Vengence, if you havent read Outlaw grab also you really need to get into this series!

Wow, this was a way better ride than the first book.
I really start to dig in the dynamics between Kenshin and Ace. When I was asking for gritty last time I had hope that Mr. Bella would deliver, and he did. Wow, Kenshin did come through and I enjoyed every single minute he was present in the narrative. I had also a few moments of surprise which I totally apreciated.
Dragon and Richie have settled down in the prison routine and have a good thing going and I am looking forward to some serious show downs in the next book. I still get annoyed that I have to wait for the next book, so if you don't like cliffhangers, wait until you have all books and then read them in one go.
I liked that I got to know more of the motorcycle club members and their spouses and partners. I can see this series going to be another longer series that I as a fan can't get enough of.
I am looking forward to Gina and her love interest Roman. I hope he has a good reason why he did what he did.

**** I won this ARC ****

Wow, I love this series.

Second book into the series and love the whole dynamics, characters and violence. You need to have read book 1 in the series, as this isn't a standalone book.

Noah (Ace) and Kenshin are complete opposites who should never have met, but they do, and Ace is there to protect him. Lots of side characters with a story to be told. The club is family orientated and comes across so well.
There is a lot of angst, violence and you don't get a complete HEA even in book two. However, we do get a HEA for now.

Good narration from Keith Folz. It was a pleasure to listen to, clean and concise. I did speed up this narration which is usual for me.

Wow! This series just keeps getting better and better! Nicholas Bella never disappoints with the ability to draw you into the worlds he creates and the storylines he weaves.

Kenshin finally gets justice, Outlaw MC style. It’s a bit violent but the punishment fits the crimes. Ace is right there to support his man. We get to see if the prospect, Kenshin, has what it takes to be a Lord.

Dragon and Richie’s relationship grows inside prison walls. A new villain is introduced and the internal tension Richie feels is just beginning. Plots thicken and danger could be just around the corner.

More of the MC is showcased in this installment allowing readers to see the Lords of Chaos world more clearly. Even minor characters have importance to the community.

This is not a standalone novel. Installments need to be read in order to fully immerse yourself into this dark, dangerous, realistic world where bikers become a family.

Don’t pass up this series!!! It’s not your typical biker trope!

I LOVE Nicholas's writing, he writes the dark and violent and sexual . This book has special appeal for me as the bad guy gets whats coming to him. It's amazing how the right guy can inspirire someone to trust again when everthing tells them not to. It's funny how love slips in on the tough guys when their not looking and takes hold. This book also has two story lines going on along side each other so you have 4 main character you have ACE & KENSHIN then DRAGON & RICH "who are in prison" and in the backround is another couple GINA & ROMAN. You have dirty cops, human trafficking, prison croruption and much much more. If you love MC drama and loyalty and brotherhood this is your series. Contrats to the narator and his voice it will hold you by the seat of your pants.

“Because, when I look at him, hear his voice, see him smile, I just want to hold him and be held by him until the end of time.”

Well this one got deliciously dark

This one introduced Roman, Gina’s counterpart, I like how their story unfolds as sweet before becoming miserable, and Dasan demanding something must be done.

We also get the conclusion of Ace and Kenshin’s story, which was adorable and first and dark and sweet. Kenshin proves himself more than worthy of being in the club, earning literally everyone’s trust and respect. Ace is even the one to give Kenshin his biker name, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Honestly these two are so freaking sweet.

The progression of Dragon and Richie’s story is kinda awesome. Richie goes from ‘I’m not gay’ to absolutely obsessed with Dragon and sex with him. It’s in a dark way sweet the impact Dragon had on him in such a short amount of time. And Dragon is down fucking bad for Richie.

My heart does break for Richie though especially with the CO bullying and taking advantage of him. I can’t wait till Dragon finds out and puts the CO in his place.

🌟🌟🌟🌟.5

“He couldn’t help himself, he found himself falling for the sexy bookworm with the quick wit.”

AMAZING!!!!!! I ABSOLUTTELY LOVED IT!!!! It was amazing. I love the fact that it follows 4 characters romance journey instead of just 2. I love the Lords of Chaos MC even though there were dark parts, their code and family bond are simply amazing. I also had fun laughing along with the characters. I love every single character, they just make the book more enjoyable. It is also very HOT & STEAMY. Ace and Kenshin make an adorable as well as Dragon and Richard. I can not wait to see what happens next. The cliffhanger just builds to the suspence and anticiparion. Nicholas Bella well done on another amazing book.

Hot, hot, hot, hot!!!!

When you think that the Author can’t get any better, you are soooo wrong. This is the second book of this series and it is everything you wished it would be. The development of the characters are mind blowing and the life of the motorcycle club in this series feels so real. I don’t know where to begin with this review because it’s just so good. I love the relationship with Ace and Kenshin, how Kenshin grows throughout this book is awesome to see. I highly recommend this novel!!! That’s all I’m going to say because I’ll spoil it all for you if I keep going. Read this book, you won’t be disappointed!

Wreaking Vengeance

The biker club life continues in this second book of this ongoing series. The story continues on the path started in book one. Vengeance is brutal, but not over the top, with well written believable dialog and a realistic portrayal of club and prison life. Excellent character growth especially for Kenshin. It was glorious to see him come into his own! The book is well paced with action and hot sex scenes. Nicholas Bella knows how to write and leave you eagerly waiting for more.

More character development and world-building

So the group that I was certain was being set up to be the major combatants against the Lords turned out to merely be a side plot.

While I always love Nicholas Bella’s storytelling, I’m still not seeing much in the way of plot development. We have Ace and Kenshin, and their developing relationship, we have things still happening with Dragon and Richie, and now Gina and Roman have their own drama going on. But is this series just a group of personal relationships set in the MC? Or will there be a larger plot?

HB

“A Lord doesn’t back down…” I thought the first book was good but this one set me on fire. I love this hardcore family and MC and am chomping at the bit for more. I can’t say Kenshi surprised me because anyone meant for Ace is more than what he appears but wow, I really admire his flair and style. And Dragon and Richie are spicy but I am concerned what’s in store and hope certain things come to light very soon for all involved. I won’t say much about Roman except he’s an idiot and I’m rooting for Gina. Mayhem, chaos, lust and love, this series has it all.

We pick up where the last book left off. Ace is still on the hunt for Kinshine's abusers and has plans to kill them. Dragon is still in prison with his lover Richard and we are introduced to Gina ( Ace's trans sister) and the man she has been instagramming with for 6 months.
There is plenty of story and action in this book. Its quite gory too. Only complaint there is too much sex especially between Dragon and Richard.

Vengeance starts where Outlawed left off and Kenshin's tormentors are being taken care of, one by one. His relationship with Ace is getting stronger and he loves prospecting for the Lords. We also meet Gina, Ace's sister, and learn about the man she's been communicating with online for 6 months. And on the Dragon and Richie front, they continue to be prison's most adorable couple while they navigate their new relationship and prison politics.

Wow, the ride continues! The interaction with Ace and Kenshin gets steamier as you turn the page. I love the developing story lines and the growth of the characters. I’ve laughed with them, gotten frustrated…they’ve become friends I want to see succeed in whatever they choose to do! I can’t wait for the next book to see what develops.

I am really loving this series. The characters are so thought out and with each book they become more. The things that happened in this book just blew my mind. I really hope Roman gets what's coming to him and I hope that Richie gets out of his mess. I cannot wait for the next book and I look forward to seeing how each couple progresses with what their life has become.

Pretty good for what it was. I liked this episodic book more than the first one. The sex between Gina and Roman was super hot, really well written. Gina and Roman were not characters that I especially liked, they were both superficial, which matched them in their relationship. I liked how all the relationships in this book were written. I skimmed the OTT violence with my eyes shut.

Love and death

The second cliff hanger and I don't care!!! This is the second book in the Lords of Chaos MC and it carries a powerful punch that is gritty and down to earth along with a little bit dirty but I tell you right now I was rooting for the death of certain arses!!! Fantastic read and I can't wait for the conclusion of this trilogy!!!

This series is something I'd love to see on TV. Ace and the rest of the club (it's not a gang) are awesome in the best bad boy way. Every series I have read from Nicholas Bella is hot but with an actual plot and character development. There is story in here, people! Love, love, love!!!!!!!
