Chaos

Twisted Kings MC #5

by Eva Simmons

When I find my fiancé cheating on me, I make the mistake of turning to the one man who wants to destroy my ex more than I do… his brother.

Once upon a time I was torn between the two of them. Dean Graham laid his heart on the line and asked me to choose him, but I couldn’t for reasons he can never find out about. He left town and I haven’t seen him since.

Now I’m at his mercy in the heart of Vegas and he’s nothing like the rancher I remember.

He’s Jaded. Cold.

A Twisted King.

He’s a permanent fixture at his MC’s strip club, and he’s spent more years behind bars recently than free from them.

If I were smart, I’d have hightailed it back to Texas the second we came face to face. Except now that he has me a second time, he refuses to let me go.

Dean makes me beg.

Bargain.

Crawl…

If I want his help ruining his brother, I’m going to have to let him ruin me first.

[Alisha · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I love this series, this one fell a bit flat for me. I didn’t feel the connection between Dean and Willa, and there wasn’t anything particularly exciting or engaging about their love story. I didn’t mind the book, it’s just not one that I’ll take much from.

[LeAnn · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars for Dean Graham and his Princess, Willa Elliott 🖤
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chaos was another outstanding addition to the Twisted Kings MC series! Eva Simmons has done it once again. My mind has been blown, my jaw on the floor, and my heart stolen by another Twisted King. Dean Graham was perfection. He's stolen my heart and he can keep it. He and Willa can have it all. Chaos only cemented the fact, that the Twisted Kings MC is the best MC series I have ever read.

Willa Elliott has always been the good girl. She's the eldest daughter who always does what her father and everyone around her expects of her. That is until she catches her fiancé cheating on her. This in turn causes Willa to turn to the one man she thought she'd never see again, Dean Graham, her ex-fiancé's older brother.

Chaos aka Dean Graham is the road captain of the Twisted Kings. Dedicated to his brothers, Chaos has been through it all. Even going so far as to take the fall for his members, which lands him in a prison cell. He’s a dedicated member and is respected by his brothers. But there’s more to him than meets the eye. After hearing word that his younger brother is trying to sell his grandfather's ranch, Dean has no choice but to fight for his grandfather's legacy. This all falls into place when the very woman who caused him to leave Texas comes back into his life. Dean hasn't seen Willa Elliott in 12 years. So when she turns up out of the blue at his strip club, Sapphire Rise, he doesn't expect to be knocked on his 🍑 by this spitfire.

I have been so excited for Chaos's story since I read Steel. Dean Graham is one of the hottest, sexiest MMC's I've ever read about. The mouth on this man 😮‍💨🥵. God the things he said to Willa had me fanning myself. I've loved Chaos since the beginning. He, Soul, and Venom just own my heart. The way they gossip in their little circle is so funny and adorable. These big scary men just being fun and carefree. Picking on each other and supporting one another 🥹. Loved it. And I loved seeing all the old ladies and their men!

The flashbacks were one of the best things about Dean and Willa's story. I loved seeing young Dean, he was so sweet, and when he took the fall for Willa when they first met? Ugh I just wanted to hug him. Eva did a great job of putting me in my feels through this whole book. So many things happened that had me clutching my pearls. I loved all the excitement in this book. The action was top tier. I really loved that Eva took us to Lanceleaf Valley!!! We got a bit of an intro to the setting of her next new series, which was exciting.

I can't even pick a favorite spicy chapter. All of them were amazing 👏. I will say this is definitely the spiciesssssttt Twisted King book 🔥🔥🔥!! He and Willa were made for one another. Their chemistry and love was next level!!! God and the ending? I did not expect that. I love how Eva surprises me and how every time I'm left in awe. Just phenomenal.

Favorite Quote:
"My club is my life, but you’re my home. All that matters is you."

I am so freaking excited for Soul next. I literally cannot contain myself for this man. The little bits about him that were sprinkled throughout Chaos left me yearning for more. And the ending? I can only say I'm so freaking excited I might cry. And we have a name! I'm also so happy that Venom is getting a book because this man deserves the world for all he does. I cannot wait to return to Lanceleaf Valley with him and see what he gets up to!!

Thank you to Eva Simmons and TAA for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of Chaos!!

This was my first time reading Eva Simmons and WOW… what a ride. Chaos is book 5 in the Twisted Kings series and can be read as a standalone (which I did 👀), but after meeting this biker gang I absolutely need to go back and read the rest of their stories.

The tension is THICK. The history? Painful. The chemistry? 🔥

Thank you Hambright PR for the eARC before release day. 🖤

[AnnaMeansFun · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not gonna lie, if I wasn’t already a fan of Eva Simmons’ writing and her bookverse, I’d probably enjoy this book even less than I did.

I can’t quite put my finger on it. Was it the fact that the drama was more of a family feud than the usual, club’s gritty, dangerous business? Was it the degradation kink that felt more like a punishment and didn’t help the already weak emotional connection between the characters? Was it the fact that Willa was an incredibly boring heroine with no sense of self, no hopes, dreams nor goals, besides following Chaos like a well trained dog?

Whatever it was, it made for a very underwhelming read. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. On to the Soul.

My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In short: Fun, spicy, morally gray, enjoyable read.

More thoughts: I jumped into the series of interconnected books here, and I didn't feel at all lost. Fascinating world and side characters that did make me want to go back and read the prior ones, though. Missed chance/missed connection, second-chance-lite books can be so fun to read, and this author did a great job with that. I really enjoyed Dean/Chaos and Willa and the dynamics between the two. I don't read a ton of MC books, but this one was well done. I liked the writer's writing style, and I had fun reading it. If you like groveling, crawling, spice, dark/morally grey, intense connection between your main characters, then this is a great one to read. I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thanks to the author and Hambright PR.

[Sim-fully Ever After · Rating 5 out of 5]

5🌟, 4🌶️

This was the kind of book that makes you forget everything else around you.

Chaos, book five in the Twisted Kings MC series, delivers a second chance romance filled with years of heartbreak, resentment, and love that never truly faded. When Dean is forced back into the orbit of Willa Elliot, the woman who broke him, every buried emotion rises to the surface. Their history lingers in every moment, making the tension between them feel heavy, intimate, and impossible to ignore.

Dean is possessive, dangerous, and unapologetically morally grey, but beneath that hardened exterior is a man still shaped by the love he lost. Watching him struggle between anger and devotion was both devastating and beautiful. His protectiveness, emotional vulnerability, and quiet unraveling made him feel achingly real. Willa carries her own guilt and emotional scars, and seeing her face the damage left behind while still gravitating toward him made their connection feel raw, complicated, and impossible to escape.

What makes this story stand out is how it balances darkness with emotional depth and healing. The brotherhood, loyalty, and found family surrounding him add so much heart to his journey, reminding you there is still something worth saving inside him. It was angsty, obsessive, and emotionally overwhelming in the best way, with a love that refused to stay buried no matter how much time passed.

This was unforgettable in every possible way.

Did I binge the entire series the second I got this ARC?
1000% yes. Zero hesitation. No regrets. 😮‍🔥 And holy moly, it did NOT disappoint. This whole series is chef’s kiss perfection. 😘✨

This wasn’t just a revenge romance. This bad boy was gritty, messy, emotional, and packed with secrets that tore Dean and Willa apart only to pull them back together. The angst, jealousy, drama, emotions and spice were perfection. 🥵🌶️ and the whole saving the ranch arc, as a country girl at heart this whole plot line ran away with my heart!

Eva absolutely crushed it with Dean & Willa. Like… knocked it out of the park. I felt EVERYTHING.
The plot. The drama. The JEALOUSY. 😏 OHHH Thats HOT!

And let’s give the spice its only little space because whew 🥵🌶️ absolute perfection. Seriously can’t believe she ever chose the other brother!

The teasers for Vemon and that Soul bomb at the end?! 👀ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I need it immediately. 😩

I am absolutely not ready for this series to end… but I am ready to see how Zane’s storyline wraps up because I just know it’s going to wreck me in the best way. And the drama that’s carried on throughout this series definitely needs to be fully resolved.

Thank you to the author agency & Eva Simmons for the ARC of Chaos, I devoured every second of it. 🖤

[Jess • bestiebookshelf_ · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this one, and is probably one of my favs from this series now!!

Dean and Willa, they have history. Childhood friends with lingering feelings until their hands are forced by their manipulating families. Dean ran way from his hometown, boy was hurting. He used all and every vice he could find to numb that pain. He hid behind the bravado of running the strip club, hiding his hurt but when Willa showed up, ready to claim the right brother, she was able to break those walls back down and we saw the true Dean.

These two were so hot together, I didn't expect anything less tbh. Chaos had such a filthy mouth and really (literally) made Willa beg for it. She was such a badass, she had been through a lot in her life but never seemed to let it weigh her down. Such a hot couple.

This was everything you want in a hot, MC romance. So many twists and turns, which really added to the grit and emotion of this story!

VERY MUCH looking forward to the next books, Eva set these up SO WELL!

[My Reading Era · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dean and Willa have a messy and complicated history. She chose his brother, he left town, and now she’s suddenly back in his life like no time has passed. Dean is stuck between guarding his heart and giving in to the feelings he never really got over.

Those feelings come rushing back fast. No matter how complicated or dangerous things get, you can feel that pull between them. They both made mistakes, but watching them realize that every wrong turn somehow led them right back to each other was so satisfying.

I loved seeing them work through the hurt and finally choose each other for real this time. I love this whole series, and this book is no different and absolutely delivered.

Thank you, Eva Simmons and The Author Agency for the ARC.

(I’ve sat down to write this review like 7 days in a row and something/someone has interrupted me every single time and I am going to burn everything down if it happens this time … but I digress lol)

📚ARC REVIEW📚

LISTEN, this is an exceptional story. Also, so is this series. Obviously, MC romances aren’t for everyone but if you’re into them, you need to be reading the Twisted Kings MC series. (from the beginning) It has been exceptionally built, and I am looking forward to never ending my journey with them, although I am sure Eva will end it at some point. *sad face*

Chaos and Willa have history. all kinds of history, some good and some not so good. They’ve known each other since they were kids and that comes with a level of familiarity all on their own. When we are children, we don’t have walls or pretense. We just are and we had enough flashbacks to their relationship as kids to understand their history and the bond it created. They may not have seen each other in over a decade and separated in not the best of terms, but that childhood bond is in there somewhere and that’s the beginning of Willa & Chaos, today. I was up in my feelings for a lot of this story. The growth these two underwent to be what they needed to be to each other was heart-pounding to me.

Their story is etched in chaos (no pun intended) but also trueness and steadiness. Their chemistry was palpable from the beginning and once they got “over it” they burned hotter than the sun! The story was exciting and really grabs you. I couldn’t wait for each plot point/circumstance to develop to see what was next!

I really like the way Eva develops her stories and her characters. I have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to her backlist but for now, I’m starting to listen to this series on audio and it is fire! (this one credit per month is beginning to annoy me LOL)

If I didn't have responsibilities as they say I definitely could have read Chaos in one sitting. I was hooked from start to finish and they cliff hanger at the end...July can't come fast enough.

Thank you Hambright PR for an advanced copy of Chaos! It was just what I needed for the reading slump I was in. I literally changed course on what I was going to read next, and I'm glad I did.

I have a soft spot for second chance romances, and Willa and Chaos were a match mad in MC romance heaven. I loved everything about this story. The chemistry, the drama, the world building and the surprises around every corner. And I'm grateful for the flashbacks because it added context to the angsty parts.

Chaos easily is my favorite book in the series so far. And each book does a great job at adding pieces to the interconnected puzzle.

This book did not hold it's punches, again start to finish it had me on my toes. And even the side characters were interesting enough to make me want to know more about them, and hope they get their happy endings too.

I'm usually not a fan of degrading language in spicy scenes, but it worked well with this couple and I didn't find myself rolling my eyes with the ick lol.

After the bombshell of a cliff hanger I can not wait to read Soul's book in July!

After a long 5 months and 22 days we finally get our tormented biker story, Chaos aka Dean Graham. Who else has been waiting for this bikers book? There was just something about the no f*%ks given biker. Eva’s Twisted Kings MC romance books is one of my favorite dark mc romance series. And Chaos always stood out from the crowd of bad boys, the one that was made to be the biggest and baddest walking red flag of all the Twisted Kings. I was counting down the days till this book hit my kindle. Lady’s and gents this one will melt your soul. The drama, suspense, and spice this man brings to these pages are beyond mind-blowing they are majestic in every sense of the word. I loved this book, every second of it!

Dean Graham aka Chaos is Jaded. Cold. A MC rider for the Twisted Kings. He’s broken a few bones, taken a few bullets, and has a lot of blood on his hands, but when Willa Elliot steps foot in Vegas to warn him of his brother and stepfathers plot to take and sell the ranch he grew up on all bets are off. She’s here, in Vegas. He let her go once but this time he refuses to let her go. With they make it through the anarchy that’s about to ensue?

If you’re into MC dark romance books then I highly recommend these are the next books for you. Settle in, take a breather, get cozy because you won’t be able to put these books down.

When you know the playboy parties hard, he loves just as hard too.
Following Dean & Willa’s story, learning about their childhoods, their lives apart and watching them come back together again is so satisfying.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes:
Dark MC Romance
Second chance
Enemies to lovers
Ex-boyfriends brother
Degradation
Alpha-hole
Playboy falls hard
Found family

Chaos loves his name in everything he does. He leans into what people expect of him, that is until the one that got away walks into his strip club and flips his life upside down.

Willa has always done what she thought was best. Always one to put family first, when she chooses the wrong brother after high school, she learns the hard way what should’ve been.
Both are so used to sacrifice.

Dean & Willa are endgame. Getting out of their own way, accepting their new lives together and fighting like hell for their love.

The tension between them is so intense that when they finally give in it could cause an inferno! Their chemistry is like a live wire.

Thank you to Hambright PR & Eva Simmons for this ARC of Chaos! 🫶🏻

[Hayley Peckham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me just begin with OH. MY. LAWD. 🥵 Evaaaaa, you absolutely wrecked me. This was a hot, steamy, morally questioning, life evaluating EXPERIENCE. I need a tall glass of water because this made me THIRSTY!

Chaos? Whew. THIS. MAN. Over a decade later and the love of his life just walks back into his strip club like she didn’t completely detonate his world the first time and wants to help him claim his family ranch. The audacity. The way every single feeling he buried, locked up, and tried to suffocate came roaring back to life? Delicious. He was spiraling, barely holding onto control, and I was shamelessly enjoying every second of it.

Two soulmates. Clearly fated. Clearly inevitable. But this stubborn and scarred man is fighting with everything he has to keep those walls up because she shattered his trust when she chose his BROTHER. HIS. BROTHER. I was clutching my chest. Gasping. Internally screaming like, Ma’am??? WHAT?! Yes, we eventually learn the why… but before that revelation? I wanted to dive headfirst into the book, grab her by the shoulders, and demand answers.

BUT when Chaos finally stops fighting it?! When he gives in?! When he takes back his woman and unleashes over a decade of pent up longing, possessiveness, and need?! The claiming. The “you were always mine” energy? SIRRRRR. 🥵🪭

The tension and banter? Immaculate.
The angst? Exquisite.
The dark suspense? Had me sweating.
The spice? Absolutely feral. 🔥
My sanity? Gone. Evaporated. I need the next book RIGHT. NOW 🙏🏻

Eva created such a magnificent mc romance world. Chaos lived up to his name especially as his brother's ex returns to his life. I loved Dean and Willa! Dean "Chaos" is such an unapologetic vibe. I loved that he always had eyes for one woman and his life is upeneded by her appearance. Willa seems like a fierce heroine trying to help the man she always loved but had to turn away for reasons. She gives good girl with some streaks of bad that makes it easy to see how these two fell for each other. I thought this story was unique in the sense it also takes place outside of Vegas and could potentially introduce more stories to come from the ranch aspect. That aside I loved these two felt like they were lions circling waiting to see who would make the first move. you felt all their tension and deeply buried loved but the past needed to rise to the surface to fix the real issues. Dean and Willa make their own unique stamp in this colorful MC series.

ARC Review
I’ve been counting down to this release, and honestly? Every second was worth it. Chaos is Book 5 in the Twisted Kings MC series, and Eva absolutely nailed it. At the centre of the story is Willa, whose life completely implodes when she catches her fiancé cheating. Instead of falling apart, she does the last thing anyone expects… she goes looking for his brother. Enter Dean “Chaos” Graham, the club’s wild boy, ex-felon, strip-club owner, and a man who’s never been short on female attention. When Dean walked away from his old life in Texas, his brother and Willa included, he found the Twisted Kings, and they became his entire world. So when that past comes crashing back in the form of a disputed ranch sale, the last person he expects (or wants) to see is Willa. But she turns up at exactly the wrong — or right — moment, offering help he’s not sure he can trust. After an incident that raises more questions than answers, Willa suddenly finds herself as Dean’s very unwilling ‘guest’ at the club. Cue forced proximity, unresolved tension, and buried feelings that refuse to stay buried. And wow… when things finally ignite? Explosive doesn’t even cover it. I swooned hard reading this because it truly feels like they were always drawn to each other. From the very beginning, the pull was there. Dean saw her first… and then she chose his brother. WHAT?! The way this story plays with fate, timing, and missed chances is absolute chef’s kiss. And the spice, Oh my! When Chaos finally claims his woman, he holds nothing back. This was blush-inducing, page-devouring perfection. Reformed playboy is one of my all-time favourite tropes, and this delivered tenfold. As always, the found family within the Twisted Kings is everything, and I loved catching up with so many familiar faces along the way. And THAT ENDING… excuse me?? The breadcrumbs were perfectly placed, the emotional groundwork is set, and now I need Soul’s book like… stat. If Chaos is anything to go by, Soul’s story is going to hit HARD. Huge thank you to Eva & the Author Agency for this ARC opportunity.

[Crista Sedlacek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dean and Willa were fricken precious together. She originally picks his brother to try and protect him as he protected her all the time when they were younger...even though they've basically loved each other for ever. There is a lot of healing these two have to do once reunited and its a crazy ride while they're doing it. With all good love stories there is a HAE obviously! Has some decent spice in this book as well with a shit ton of tension throughout. He always thought she left because he wasn't good enough for her but that could never be the case.

I personally havent read the other books from this series but I really enjoyed the character building and I know the other books are about others from this so I think ill be adding the others to my TBR ☺️

Like this man, THIS MAN, I knew would break my heart to learn how he got to be who he is. But dang! I wanted to give him a hug because he’s been through. Willa as well.

These two had me biting my blanket in anticipation of them getting together. (You can tell I really enjoyed this one!)

Spice Level: 🔥🔥🔥/5

I can’t believe this is already my 9th Eva Simmons book and I have yet to read one I didn’t like. Eva is a master at combining the hottest spice with love declarations that border on poetry plus a splash of darker themes.
This one is perfect for fans of a reformed playboy who is DOWN BAD for the girl. Chaos definitely gained some experience in the sheets over the years and boy does Willa reap the benefits from it. 🥵
Those two deserve their second chance so much and I wanted to punch every single person who was standing in their way.
Next up is Soul’s book and after that little peek into one of the tropes at the end of Chaos I am already FERAL for it!

The angst in this one is just so 🤌🏼.

Dean and Willa are always meant to be together, but due to reasons, they can't. When they meet again after a decade, you see them accepting their feelings and fighting against everything to be together. 💕

I usually don't like dual timelines, but this story needed it so much. You see how Dean's and Willa's pasts affect their present, which is a main part of the story. The writing, the ongoing plot, the angst, and the spice were so perfect.

Plus the epilogue!!! I am so freaking excited for Soul's book now! 🙈

Oh my Chaos. Dean Graham, aka Chaos, may be my new favorite spicy fantasy. The cold-blooded side we've seen before is shown even more deeply in this book, and sparks quick to action to protect his Club brothers, their families... and Willa. This girl starts with the sass and it does not stop coming! I loved her personality. Then when Chaos starts giving her orders and expects her to obey? Girl, same. I would be on my knees in a flash. The intensity of their family history and the interwoven complexities of their ranches, their father figures, and their siblings? Their whole story is a complex mess that made me read this book so fast and Chaos and Willa are what made me care. I love this so much and just wish we could have seen Kincaid's reaction when he got to his car.

Yet ANOTHER banger from the Twisted Kings series and Eva Simmons. Chaos and Willa were EVERYTHINGGGG. The perfect push and pull, the perfect second chance romance. Their story was so raw to read and the plot was as equally good, I had no idea what was going to happen at any time. I loved that Chaos and Willa found home in each other and that they got the happily ever after they deserved. And that tease for Soul’s book? BYEEEEE.

Oh my gosh, this was so fun! I couldn’t put this book down. Chaos and Willa’s story was never dull. I loved Willa so freaking much. She was a tough cookie, but with a heart of gold. I loved the communication between the two of them. Even with their unresolved issues and hurt, they talked it out, and worked through it. I think the author did an absolutely incredible job of really honing in on the MC being a family and I loved seeing glimpses of all of the other couples. The spice was AMAZING! The ending has me so excited for the next book in the series! I’m so thankful for the opportunity to have received an arc, and these are my own feelings and thoughts while reading Chaos!

i think i would’ve enjoyed this story more if it wasn’t right after the last book; it’s impossible not to draw parallels between the two. at least to me, if it weren’t for the brother’s ex-girlfriend of it all, the premise of both is too similar. i mean, havoc and chaos is a bit too on the nose already, but considering both couples were estranged for over a decade, the fmcs’ fathers orchestrated both their breakups and ultimately caused the respective third act climaxes – it felt repetitive. was the plot in itself bad? no, nor was the writing. the author delivered exactly what i’ve come to expect from this series, and i do understand the events of this book had to happen to plant the foundation for the spin-off series and venom’s book, but this was almost like a goodbye when soul’s story is still to come. and timeline wise i know it makes sense for his book to be last because of the overarching plot and villain to be defeated, but i still stand by that placing a story between the previous book and this current one would’ve benefited the whole experience.

* i was sent an arc by the author agency in exchange for a honest review

This got me out of my reading slump!!

Binged this in about 72 hours! Thank you to The Author Agency for an advanced copy!

This was everything I wanted and more. Dark romance, brothers ex (she loved him first), heroine in trouble, second chance, romantic suspense

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite MC romance series! Beyond excited for Souls story and to continue reading about this found family of badass girls & their big burly men who are only soft for their “old lady”
