Wrong place. Wrong time. Right man.

It was okay. Quick read.
Nitpicks -
-I rather have the club whores be called "sweet butts" than "cut sluts," but that's just my preference.
-I know this is fiction, but if you are going to have anal, then write it properly. You can't just stick it in and things be great, this isn't a porn shoot where ppl are already prepped and ready to go. 🙄
-If you witnessed a cartel hit and they're after you, it's not a good idea to go to your side-job of dogwalker and show up at innocent people's homes. To think you can go about your life as usual (Chaos tells her no), when they know your name, place of work and where you live is beyond stupid.
-There was no mention of the cartel problem in the epilogue, like what happened with them? It only mentioned the traitor problem.
-Can't complain about the insta-love as it was listed and advertised. Just know things occur quickly including the I love yous.

CHAOS is Book 1 of the Renegade Kings MC, Detroit Chapter series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, opposites-attract, forced-proximity, girl gets her protective biker romance...and it's a fast-paced, hot start to the new series. Rowan is a strong but struggling girl dealing with a sick grandma and a mountain of debt. When she witnesses a cartel killing, she also becomes a target. Chaos, the President of the Renegade Kings MC finds her scared in a dumpster and knows he will do anything to keep her safe. Both characters have their struggles and feel broken, but together they are able to help heal each other. The danger and drama were intense, the chemistry was hot, and we ended on a happy note. I can't wait for more books in this series. I loved it.

Chaos finds Rowan cowering in a dumpster, terrified by the violence she just witnessed. All I kept thinking was, let this girl take a shower!!! I loved how Chaos claimed Rowan immediately and made everyone aware of it. What I am so tired of is these club ho's. Why? Why do they need to be there? At least Kandi should have been dealt with for her disrespect (which Chaos demanded Rowan receive from everyone) and how she hid her phone, oops she said. She needed to be booted out of the clubhouse! Other than the whole CW aspect, I loved the suspense and drama in the story!.

Chaos is book one in Oona Ryda’s new Renegade Kings MC series. This is an insta-love short story written in third person that features young struggling student, dog walker and pharmacist’s assistant, Rowan, and Jace “Chaos” Harlow, the President of the Renegade Kings MC.
Finding Rowan was unexpected. But falling for her and protecting her from those looking to end her life came naturally for this possessive alpha, Will they get their happily ever after? It was a quick, very enjoyable and heartwarming read with a good amount of action and suspense.
This was an amazing start to this great new MC series. I can’t wait to see what happens next. The men are intense but gentle and committed and I’m looking forward to learning how the rest of the club meets their Old Ladies.

Sometimes love doesn’t come wrapped in roses—it comes roaring in on a Harley, wearing leather, and promising to burn the world down to keep you safe. Chaos by Oona Ryda is a gritty, fast-paced, and unexpectedly tender ride through danger, desire, and the kind of loyalty that only an outlaw could understand.
Rowan’s life is already hanging by a thread—juggling bills, caring for her sick grandmother, and scraping through one exhausting day at a time. But when she witnesses something she never should have seen—a brutal cartel execution—her world explodes. Now, she’s not just broke and exhausted. She’s a target.
Enter Chaos. President of the Renegade Kings MC. Hard, ruthless, and not exactly known for saving lost girls. But when he finds Rowan trembling in a dumpster and fighting to stay alive, something inside him shifts. He doesn’t just see a terrified woman—he sees something worth protecting.
From the moment he claims her, Chaos becomes a man possessed. He’s danger and safety all in one—a killer’s edge wrapped around a fiercely loyal heart. Rowan may be innocent, but she’s no pushover, and watching her learn to stand tall beside him gives this story a pulse that’s both raw and empowering.
Their chemistry? Off the charts. But what really hooked me was how Oona Ryda wove heat with heart—the protectiveness, the stolen moments of gentleness, the way Chaos looks at Rowan like she’s the first bit of light he’s ever seen. Beneath all the grit and gunfire, there’s something deeply human here: two broken people finding peace in each other.
Chaos is the kind of book that grabs you by the throat and won’t let go until the last page. It’s fast, fierce, and full of emotion—a perfect balance of danger, desire, and devotion. If you love possessive alpha heroes, strong heroines who refuse to break, and MC stories with a surprisingly soft heart, this one’s a must-read.

Enjoyable but there’s a lot of things missing and mistakes. The beginning of the book is dreary.
I’m actually surprised that I did enjoy this in the end. It’s not brilliant and there’s a lot of things wrong with it, annoying little things like who cooks the mc’s meals? Meals just appear without any explanation, Rowan loses her phone at the beginning of the book then she’s texting Chaos. Where did the phone come from?
At the beginning of the book Rowan’s life is dreary. (This author loves her downtrodden women.) She works two jobs while paying for a care home for her grandmother, and training to be a either a pharmacy technician at the beginning of the book or a pharmacist later on. On her way home late at night she witnesses two men being murdered by the cartel. The hitmen see her and she’s chased but manages to escape and hide in trash. The men were part of the Renegade Kings Mc who were in the warehouse. When Chaos drags her out of the garbage he instantly knows Rowan is his. Eeeewww. 🤮 Rowan is soon living at the clubhouse and everything is great, apart from the cartel are trying to track her down. Soon Chaos and Rowan are having endless sex, and of course Rowan was a virgin. 🥱🥱
One thing that really annoyed me. IF YOU’RE GOING TO WRITE ABOUT AN*L S*X, DO IT RESPONSIBLY AND WITH CARE!!! He just shoved it in with NO lube!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Overall I did enjoy it but there’s a lot of mistakes.

Chaos is book 1 in the Renegade Kings MC, Detroit Chapter. It's Chaos, the President of the Kings and Rowan's story
"Chaos doesn't do forever. The only things he claims are territory and respect."
That quickly changes when he lays eyes on Rowan. He decides then and there that she's his and no matter what has to happen or who has to go through, he's going to make it happen. Down doesn't know it yet, but she's just stepped into her forever. Chaos is a great age gap, insta love, possessive, obsessive quick read.
"This love of ours is not only flourishing, it’s blooming into something beautiful and wild and unbreakable. Just like us."

Rowan never thought she would find herself in that position of witnessing a murder and then running for her life. Now she is on the back of the bike of Chaos the President after he has saved her. This is so well-written once you turn the first page you will be totally hooked and not want to put it down. I am already looking forward to the following books that go with this new series. I loved the chemistry and the instant fall for the woman. The action is non-stop and keeps you on the edge of your seat while you wait to see what happens. This is a must read!!!

This was a fab series opener that brings Rowan, a gal who witnessed a horrible crime, and Chaos/Jace, prez of the Renegade Kings MC, together. He may not engage with the club bunnies, but he's also not into forever. Until, that is, he rescues poor Rowan from a dumpster, traumatized and terrified. He's quickly OTT for her and sets out to get her to realize he's it for her, too ;P With action, danger, betrayal, suspense, found family and hot romance, this was a one-sit read for me. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book :D

Could have been excellent
This was a short story, so obviously, a lot had to be put into a little space. I truly believe that if this storyline was expanded and more depth added, I would have loved this book. It had such a good storyline, but I couldn't really get into it as everything happened, so fast but with only a small amount of detail. The characters were appealing, and you wanted to read their story, but again, details. It's a good short read if that is what you like, and a good, not so overwhelming introduction to the MC world of books.

I didn’t think it was a bad book. I thought it was sweet and the characters were sweet, but I feel like there wasn’t enough gratis to it and they’re definitely wasn’t enough sex in it and I don’t know it was just missing something. I can’t put my finger on don’t get me wrong. I didn’t think it was a bad book. I thought it had potential and I thought it was good but I read I think the first two or three of them and I probably won’t read the Rest just because it’s just not enough grid in it for me, but you don’t always have to be greedy. that’s just my opinion.

It's love at first sight for Chaos when he finds a woman in the trash bin who witnessed the execution of two of his MC brothers. Now she has the cartel after her and the protection of the Renegade Kings MC behind her. This action-packed story is touching and had me connecting with these two as their love story evolved.

Rowan & Chaos
Diese Biker Kurzgeschichte beinhaltete alles was das Herz begehrt.
Angefangen mit dem leichten und flüssigen Schreibstil und wechselnder Erzählperspektive beider Protagonisten, bis hin zu Action, ein kleinwenig Drama und spicy Szenen.
Das es eine Kurzgeschichte ist, gibt es keine Tiefe und alles verläuft schnelllebig, doch die Charaktere wirkten authentisch geschrieben und es gab ein klärendes Ende.

Rowan was walking home from work and witnessed two execution style murders. The murderers saw her but she hid in a dumpster and Chaos found her. Chaos is the Renegade Kings MC, Detroit chapter Prez. Now Rowan is under his protection.
I really liked this MC book and the characters. Looking forward to the other books in the series.

I'm not sure. It was an okay story. It was quick read and very fast paced. Minor details need to be corrected. She has double locks and a chain on her door, yet he breaks in with no noise. He gets shot between the eyes, yet he is windmilling and trying to grab onto someone. There are other things. Somehow, I never got their ages.

Rowan and Chaos’s story has them coming together after finding her hiding from the mafia. But as the MC help to keep her safe these two fall for each other. A good MC story filled with danger, violence, heat, loyalty and determination of broken souls healing each other.

Chaos & Rowan. Good story. Not the cheesy insta-love that you usually get. A little over the top on the “go along with whatever I tell you in front of people and don’t ever question me” but still good drama and a good love story.
November 14, 2025
Good
A good quick read with instant love action betrayal and alpha males. Chaos meets rowan and instantly knows she is the one and will need to keep her safe but can he do it with not knowing all the players. New author for me and it was a good read now waiting for book 2
