Iron Punishers MC #7
Mayhem's Fury
When an MC enforcer meets a woman as tough as he is, the result is deadly and life-changing.
Mayhem’s life as an Iron Punisher is entirely shaken after two chance meetings. Both involved his club brother Tinker’s woman, Haven, and a mystery woman who comes to Haven’s rescue. All he knows is she’s called Astrid. His attempts to discover more about her and why she feels compelled to step in to help someone she doesn’t know go nowhere. She concerns him. As his club’s enforcer, he takes the safety of all in his club family seriously.
Nine months later, and Mayhem is no closer to knowing anything more about Astrid than he had on day one. And her absence from Bristol wears on him. He can’t forget about her, and it’s not just for safety reasons. Astrid affects him more than any woman has. However, when Astrid shows up again out of the blue in Bristol, Mayhem is determined he’ll learn everything there is to know about her, while making her his.
Astrid’s life has been somewhat nomadic the past few years. She hadn’t been tempted to put down roots until she met Haven. Here was someone she could become friends with. But there’s more to her desire to stay than friendship. Along with Haven and the vibes of Bristol, there is one other major draw to settling there—the biker who goes by the road name Mayhem.
Mayhem fascinates Astrid despite her attempts to remain aloof. And it’s more than his dangerous aura and the way they match wits that draws her like a moth to the flame. However, Astrid is haunted by her past. The one that ended her promising career and left her adrift. She has scars that will never fully fade.
Lucky for her, Mayhem is a man who understands those and isn’t afraid to fight to help her overcome them while giving her everything, as long as she does the same. But there’s a darkness from Astrid’s past that invades her newly found happiness. One, she has no idea, will become the threat it does.
It’s a good thing this alpha female has the right alpha male to stand by her side as the threat is revealed and neutralized, resulting in her forever becoming Mayhem’s Fury.
Mayhem + Fury = Explosive Chemistry and More

Another fantastic book by Ciara St James. I absolutely loved Mayhem and Astrid's story.
October 21, 2025
Really good, I loved Mayhem and Astrid. Some really stilted conversations at times between them though, bizarrely.
At the beginning of the book the author very kindly puts a recap in of how Astrid met Mayhem when she saved Haven from her ex. It made it a lot easier as it’s been a while since Tinker and Haven’s book. While I really enjoyed this one, there are a lot of things missing. Where was Astrid going and why was she so secretive about it when she left the town and disappeared for months? It’s only later on that the author must have realised that she hadn’t put any details about Astrid or Mayhem, and did a brief explanation about their parents etc. I would have liked to see a lot more of the other women and men as well, as they’re barely mentioned.
Astrid was a naval pilot when she was honourably discharged after a bad mission. As she can’t settle or decide what to do she’s roaming the country, until she decides to live in the Iron Punishers town. Mayhem really liked Astrid the first time that they met, and was about to try and find her as he liked her so much. I did feel that their relationship was really rushed as she moved into his house pretty much the day after they decide to date. The s*x scenes weren’t over the top on this one thankfully. Of course Astrid is in danger, and it’s a bit disappointing and over way too quickly.
I did really enjoy it even though at times it felt almost rushed.

As always I enjoy the new releases from Ciara St. James because I cannot get enough of her books.
Book 7 in the Iron Punishers series follows their enforcer Mayhem and the bombshell that is Astrid who's thrown him for a loop. Since meeting her in the previous book after she's helped out Haven he cannot get this woman out of his mind. The problem is she's got a nomadic lifestyle and doesn't stay long in one place- that is until she decides enough is enough and she's ready to settle down.
She finds herself back in Bristol ready to settle down and wanting to make connections. She doesn't expect to fall for Mayhem but this man's interest cannot be stopped. Astrid has walls up but for good reason- she was in the Navy and had been hurt severely during her last mission and is hesitant to trust others. Although she makes the decision to jump head-first into a relationship with Mayhem because she can't get over her attraction to him.
They're both bad*ss in their own ways due to their past experiences and I love that Astrid doesn't take any of Mayhem's crap and calls him out. The fact that they're able to deal with the trouble from Astrid's past together is the best.
Absolutely loved getting more of the other clubs and the Dark Patriots appearing in this story. Cannot wait to see what comes next for the Iron Punishers.

Resilience at it’s core, then finding a lifetime of love
Mayhem’s Fury (Iron Punisher’s MC Book 7) by Ciara St. James, just became my favorite of this series thanks to Astrid, this book’s FMC. Astrid Tuttle is one amazing woman in just about every way. Mayhem knows it and so when his opportunity to make her his finally comes, he doesn’t waste any time.
You gotta love Astrid. Her backstory, her present, her determination and resilience, not to mention eventually opening herself up to the love of a man that’s perfect for her.
And of course, Astrid/Fury is absolutely perfect for Mayhem. So it’s fitting, since they’ve been on each other’s minds for months, that their relationship would move at warp speed! These MC alphas, for the most part, realize what they want and don’t wait around for things to happen, they make things happen.
Overall, this book has way more going for it than simply the characters. Everything about Astrid comes into play and takes this MC on another MC justice mission you don’t want to miss.

This is a great continuation of the Punishers MC and the women who bring them to their knees. Mayhem and Astrid(Fury) are like ships that pass in the night, but eventually they both came together and they were ment for each other. Fury, has survived the worst of the worst treatment while in the Navy as a fighter piolet. She was captured and torchered for days, but in the end she didn’t break, but one of the men who was captured with her did break and gave the enemy everything. When they were liberated, he was killed by an enemy combatant, so the info he gave was lost and not shared.
Mayhem is the proud enforcer of the Punishes and the manager of one of their businesses. When he meets Fury the first time he is drawn to her. But still careful. When they meet a second and third time his interest is fully engaged and he wants her, well Fury also wants him but that’s the travel bug and needs to get that out of her system. When Fury decides to settle down she comes to their town and is instantly welcomed to the clubhouse and the compound by the old ladies and the members.
Fury and Mayhem start to circle around each other and decide to give it a shot, along the way they finally admit they had feelings for a while , but were both too jumpy to act on them.
When the club finds out that Fury was being stalked about the death of the guy who traded info for hisself, they all come together and protect and take out the trash. Mayhem and Fury finally can have peace and quiet to work on their romance and future.

Book seven in the Iron Punishers MC series. The Best things about this author. She is writes about women, who are amazingly strong. They don’t need a man. They want a man on their side. Astrid has no place to call home. Till she comes to Bristol. And she falls in love with it. That where she meets mayham. He’s the clubs enforcer. He really likes her. She has walls. But like any man in the club. Once they find their girl nothing or nobody will get in their way. Slowly but surely they share their past. He finally knows how strong and amazing Astrid is. The scars and wounds she has. Are what makes her super strong. It shows he never gives up. Mayham may think he’s moving slowly but she’s a tough cookie he can’t help but bite.

It was interesting to see Astrid folded into the club so quickly. Sure there was the friendship with Haven, but holy cow did things go fast for Astrid and Mayhem. I did like how they talked about things a long the way. I loved how Mayhem respected Astrid's skills and listened to her as she brought things that could help the club's businesses. But the best was letting Astrid in on dealing with the threats from her past. I loved how Astrid was in on the consequences that people brought on themselves, especially the last one.

Bada*s Woman!!
Astrid is a bada**s woman with an awesome bada*s job. Mayhem had briefly met Astrid a few months ago and couldn't stop thinking about her Astrid had the same reaction to Mayhem. Astrid came back to Bristol and decided to stay, and Mayhem decided to say that he was making her his old lady. Astrid definitely came with lots of drama, and the club stood behind her through it all while she showed them how bada*s she was. Loved seeing the Dark Patriots and what they offered her. Another wonderful edition to the series.

Astrid and Mayhem's story was one for the books! Astrid was a boss baddie, so competent and skilled, I couldn't put their story down. Mayhem is very attracted but also extremely cautious. Every time she comes to town, he falls a little deeper. When she comes back, this time to stay, Mayhem is done waiting. I loved watching them fall completely and utterly in love. The trouble that followed her to their compound was intense and heartbreaking but this couple with their club family handle it and come out even stronger. Such an awesome read!

4 days to read this book, it was like pulling teeth. Every book I start I finish, and I love this series, especially the original one I've found that the recent books a just don't have to same heart, it's like they're churned out. I mean what was this ending and epilogue? Just so bland, from characters to plot. The only thing that's going to save these books in the future is better characters and smut 😂

Astrid Tuttle has stolen the show in Mayhem's Fury, the seventh installment of the Iron Punisher's MC series. This fierce and fabulous female lead has a backstory that will tug at your heartstrings, and her determination and resilience will leave you cheering. Mayhem knows a good thing when he sees it, and when he finally gets his chance with Astrid, he pounces - and their whirlwind romance is pure perfection!

Mayhem’s Fury - one of the best in the series
Mayhem and Astrid are the perfect couple. Both are protectors who wanted each other for months before they got the chance to be together. Sexy times, lots of drama, some heartbreak from the past before a phenomenal end to their story!! Loved it!!

not as good as others
Didn’t get the connection with these characters as I have in the past, story felt off and disjointed, i wasn’t sure which character was talking at times and had to keep backing up. The end was VERY violent and descriptive, which I dont like at all. Normally enjoy this series and especially this author, but this one not so much.

Mayhem’s Fury by Ciara St James
This book is Mayhem and Astrid’s story. Astrid met Mayhem when she saved Haven twice. She left for 9 months but returned to Bristol as it felt like home. Both Mayhem and Astrid had been thinking about each other during the months they spent apart. Their courtship is not without trouble but they persevered and got their HEA.

Mayhem's Fury
I absolutely love Astrid aka Fury. She is a perfect match for Mayhem and to the Iron Punishers. I am thrilled to see strong female characters. Mayhem does not hesitate to lay claim to Astrid once she returns to town. Mayhem fears showing his dark side to Astrid but she embraces him. Another great book by Ciara St. James.

I've been waiting for this to come out, but I am only at 33% and probably won't be finishing it. Insta-love, insta-move-in, insta-confessions, you name it, it's in there. And it's written in an odd mix of formal and juvenile writing that is just making me cry inside.

Awesome
Awesome book awesome series!! I love when the women are just as badass as their men. I love when karma comes calling its great. My favorite Thing is the family and loyal feel for the MC. Mayhem and Fury was a awesome couple

very good
Mayhem is helping with one of the club’s business. He has known Fury for awhile now. Fury if, or was a pilot, who medically discharged. Has a Purple Heart. There are lots of twists and turns. I highly recommend this story. Well written.

love the story
This is an amazing story. I love Mayhem and how supportive he is of Astrid. There is definitely a connection. I usually skim over all the violence as it can get detailed, but I love the story.

Never disappoints
I’ve become quite bloodthirsty reading these books! I cried when I read what Fury had been through. She deserved the all consuming love Mayhem gave her. And justice was served. Long live the Punishers.

Great Story
This is my favourite story of the Iron Publishers MC. Strong male and an equally strong and beautiful woman. Although all the women the MC are strong this one stands out.

I loved Astrid's character, former Navy pilot. She was a perfect match for Mayhem (Jamie) the enforcer. Even though she can take care of herself, when her past comes back to haunt her, he'll do whatever it takes to protect her. Excellent read. HEA.
