5 Stars!

Layla Frost isn't new to me (love all her words!!) and I was pretty stoked to see her in ARR's world again with her Hyde series because her first go round in it with Until Nox was freaking brilliant and a top read for me! And guess what y'all? Until Mayhem is set in the same world with crossover characters and tells one love story that starts out really... unconventional.

Judge and Ophelia lit up my kindle and set my heart on fire from the very first moment they "met". Judge knew what he ...more

4.5 Stars! Until Mayhem takes us back into Layla Frost's Hyde world, with hint of the Maysons thrown in. You'd be crazy not to want to read that.

Summary:
Ophelia Kline just needed to make a quick trip to the grocery store. Arriving there at the same time as several sexy-as-sin bikers just made the trip more bearable. She'll get in, hopefully remember everything she needs, and get out with a little bit of eye-candy as a bonus. She had no way of knowing just how much her life would change. Judge Ha 4.5 Stars!

Summary:
Ophelia Kline just needed to make a quick trip to the grocery store. Arriving there at the same time as several sexy-as-sin bikers just made the trip more bearable. She'll get in, hopefully remember everything she needs, and get out with a little bit of eye-candy as a bonus. She had no way of knowing just how much her life would change. Judge Hawkins has to be alert all the time. If he isn't, it could mean losing his or one of his brother's lives. It's just that, something big is about to go down. Lots of whispers and quiet rumblings about the greed, corruption, and plain old evil that's spreading. Besides his blood brother, his brother's of the cut, and his sometimes Irish-Scottish partner, it's hard for Judge to know who to trust. So he notices Ophelia right away. Not only because she’s gorgeous, but because she's been trailing and eyeing them since they arrived. Judge may be overreacting, but he can't be too careful. Good looks doesn't mean she's not working for the enemy. No matter the situation, Ophelia is his and he can't let her go. Even if that means temporarily restraining her against her will.

*************************
I don't know about anyone else, but after reading Until Mayhem I'm totally okay with being kidnapped. As long as it's a Mayhem (maybe Jury🤷🏾‍♀️) brother doing it. 😂 I really enjoyed Judge and Ophelia's story. It didn't feel like a novella at all, and we got to catch up with some of our favorite characters. I adored Ophelia. She was sweet, feisty, independent, and funny. I love that Layla's heroines are strong and have a backbone. It makes it easy to like them, and makes for an entertaining read when watching them go toe-to-toe with their men. Judge **swoon** was so much of all the good things that his cockiness was both sexy and justified. He certainly rocked the part of the dirty-talking, possessive, protective, alpha biker that shows his woman gentleness and thoughtfulness. But that doesn't mean he couldn't be cold and ruthless if the situation called for it. As a couple, Ophelia and Judge were a good match, even if it wasn't recognizable at first glance. The chemistry flared immediately, establishing a strong and undeniable connection between them despite the situation and heightened emotions. Their witty banter added humor and a sense of comfort to the relationship. I thought Judge and Ophelia had a good balance. He's bossy and protective but not domineering, and she wasn't afraid to stand up to him. Their intimate scenes were well-written and seriously hot, too. In the end, I didn't want to put this book down. It's a fast-paced read with a little action and hint of danger. It didn't feel rushed and had a wonderful cast of supporting characters. Not only do we get to catch up with the Hyde boys and see a bit of the Maysons, but we are also officially introduced to some intensely sexy bikers I hope to see more of. 😘 I suggest a read of Until Nox if not the entire Hyde series as the conflict with the bad guy starts in the earlier books. It’s a fantastic series, so this won't be a hardship. What will be is waiting for the next book which looks to be Lars’s. ♡ ...more
