I had to step up, take over,
Save her from herself,
From him.
A jerk who didn't deserve her.
But I sure as Hell don't either
She's too sweet, too soft, too kind.
A broken shell of the woman she once was.

But now, there's more on the line,
She's in too deep.
And I'll be damned if I ever give up
On putting her back together,
Piece-by-piece,
Owning every ounce of the woman,
Who stole my heart.

Cutter and Jaz's story !

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love this author's stories in this series.I throughly enjoyed this latest release Mayhem.This series has been on my top favorite reads list for 2017.

In this latest installment is yet another heart wrenching read that tugs at your heart strings.The story had your heart pounding,heart breaking and ready to shred tears for Jasmine at a moments notice.This story is not for the light hearted it includes abuse ,rape, and graphic situations including sex.

I normally pick a favorite character in a story and mine is going to be Cutter but, Jasmine is right up there with Cutter.I picked Cutter because he is highly dangerous.His name stands for the deeds he has done and is highly skilled at.I chose him because he goes against his own beliefs on how women should be treated and acts the dominate .Cutter needs to dominate Jasmine in order to help her deal.Cutter takes charge and demands things of Jasmines rules and orders her about only giving her small choices to make each day.My heart breaks for Cutter in no way does he want to treat Jasmine like her husband and like a slave but he has no choice if he wants her to heal. At this moment is when I fell in love with Cutter's character sigh..

Cutter is a complicated guy and he is a highly dangerous man.He got his Nickname from being good at his craft.Men fear him just by whispering his name yet we saw a totally different side of him when dealing with Jasmine.When it came to his interactions with Jasmine we found him to be protective ,kind,and love-able.When Cutter meets Jasmine both their lives change for the better.Act of fate perhaps?Its amazing to see the changes that we saw in Cutter's character as he started to care and fall in love with Jasmine.Jasmine brought out emotions in Cutter that lay dormant but now his emotions come to the surface.We see him actually feel something instead of pain and unhappiness.I enjoyed seeing him find some happiness it made my heart glad.

Jasmine's character showed the most emotional growth throughout this story. Jaz amazed me at the things that she was able to overcome.We watched a shell of a women blossom throughout the pages.My heart broke for Jasmine as I felt her emotional pain .Jaz 's pain was so heart wrenching it made you want to cry.I shred a few tears for her myself. All it took was for someone to believe in her and we finally saw just how strong she was.I was rooting from the first few pages that this amazing women would find herself again as well find a little bit of love and happiness .

I have to say that I loved all the character's except Dylan.I loved their kindness,humor, protectiveness when it came to Jaz.I loved seeing them build lasting relationships along with friendships that helped her in her healing process.I loved seeing her find a bit of happiness that she deserved.I love seeing all the past character's grace the pages in this newest story.I loved seeing what they were all up to now.They added those special moments to enrich this story and make it quite the page turner.I love the old Ladies and how protective they are and are just as dangerous as their men are when it comes to protecting the ones they love.

Another fantastic read.The story was filled with pain and suffering along with love and happiness.We saw growth and changes in both characters.We also saw a couple heal just by being with one another and both healing from past hurts.I love a story that keeps you engrossed in its pages and this story did just that.The author did an amazing job creating a character so like Dylan with Cutter but his personality worked in a positive effect instead of a negative one.I love when you can connect with the characters you read about and be invested and connected to them which I was able to do with the characters in this story.

Favorite Scene:

Jasmine and Cutters interaction in the kitchen regarding lunch after Lucy's talk with Jaz.It was one of the most touching moments in this entire story.This scene made me fall head of heals for Cutter.

One of th biggest surprises of the story is how opposites attract and how it worked to this couples advantage.The difference's in Jasmine and Cutter's personalities just made you love this couple even more.Another winner for us a 5 star read.A recommended read to all those MC Romance lovers.I also recommend you read all the others in its series as well.Another amazing read....

This an amazing, quick paced read that will have you on the edge of your seat. The suspense close to the end of the book will have your heart racing and mind reeling.

Even though I loved the storyline, and how well it was executed, I did find a few inconsistencies that made me have to go back and read bits again. It was a little rushed too, it made me feel like I had to read the words quickly instead of taking my time and that was a little disappointing.

But saying that, the story itself sucked me in. I loved the characters, I love their unique personalities and I loved that it was well thought out through the whole book.

It's a heartbreaking read and my trigger stuff for readers. I recommend only 18+ people to read this as it's pretty graphic.

I do recommend this book if you fancy a quick but suspenseful read. Some great work here from Alexis Noelle.

Gemma's Review
Alexis Noelle does an incredible job with this MC story that is fast paced and filled with drama. The author covers a very serious subject in a sensitive manner. The way the author has covered this topic really opened my eyes to the effects that domestic abuse has on the person involved. This saw me experiencing many feelings throughout the story and this is one of the reasons why I loved this book. My heart broke many times throughout the story and then over times I had a big smile on my face at the sweetness that the hero showed the heroine in the story.

Jasmine was one of the strongest characters that I have read within a story, she saw herself as weak but she was anything but weak because she lived through hell and survived. My heart broke so many times for her and I was amazed by the way that she got through everything. Despite the heartbreak and pain she endured in her life she still survived.

Cutter was an alpha male that had a gentle side when it came to Jasmine. He was a protective and loving character that I absolutely adored. I really enjoyed the way that he helped Jasmine to see how beautiful she was and the strength that she had within her. Cutter was the type of character that you can’t help but love instantly.

Mayhem is about Cutter a member of an MC and the boss of a local strip club Ambrosia. He comes across Jasmine when she comes into the club to interview for the assistant job. There is an instant connection but there was more to Jasmine then meets the eye and Cutter was determine to find out.

Mayhem is the perfect title for this book because the events within this book were complete mayhem. This was a dark and gritty read that has some dark themes throughout the story. However, this was an incredible read that had me on the edge of my seat throughout it. The author done a great job with this story.




Stefanie's Review

This book makes me want to find Alexis Noelle and hug her. This is an extremely heart wrenching story that I hope is a complete work of fiction. This does a great job talking about a very serious issue in a way that is eye opening and uplifting. I have read some stories dealing with abuse before but none like this. I cried for Jasmine and in the next chapter I cheered for her too. There is a wonderful message here that I think a lot of women need to read and for that I am grateful for this book. All that being said, this is also one of the sweetest sexiest books I have read too. So, if you want a book that is going to rock your world, this is it.
Jasmine is a woman I will learn from, she is in a very messed up marriage when we meet her. She is broken, but she must keep going, she must find a job and her last resort is working for Cutter. Cutter belongs to a Motorcycle Club and runs one of their businesses. When he meets Jasmine he knows right away that something isn’t right but doesn’t know just how bad it is until one day he sees it for himself. As Cutter and Jasmine’s relationship grows we see some disturbing things, but we also see the real Cutter come out.
This was not an easy read. This had me retching a few times and wishing that I have never laid eyes on it, but it was so engrossing that I had to finish it. I had to believe that there was a happy ending for these two. I am still shaken by this book and I think that I will be for a very long time.

Mayhem
Alexis Noelle
5 stars

Yup .. loved it. --- Deathstalkers MC series.

The office at Ambrosia is a disaster and the men of the MC just aren't cut out for the job. Cutter needs someone to come in and clean up the place. Someone who knows what they are doing; someone like the sweet little thing that just walked through the door. Jasmine is shy and shouldn't be in the club but he cant and wont let her walk away. She is timid but there is something else underneath those eyes .. something that he needs to protect. If he could just figure out what ...

Jasmine has no clue she is walking into a strip club. All she knew was she needed a job and this place was hiring. Shocked she wants to turn and go but something about the place makes her feel safe.... especially when the man that is going to interview her looks at her. How can it be that a stranger can make everything you fear seem like nothing. Ten long years of being afraid .. more years of looking over her shoulder ... Dylan. The man is a monster.

Cutter knows what her past holds and the MC doesn't take kindly to men that abuse women or the innocent. Dylan will pay but not before he tries to get his claws back into Jasmine and takes out Cutter himself.

Cutter and Jasmine are so fantastic together and I love these characters in this MC. The men are alpha but loving -- fierce but protectors -- loyal and certainly family. Super fabulous group of dudes and their women.

There could be triggers in this for some but the writing is well done and not graphic. Great installment for number five and looking forward to number six.

Thank you for the ARC! LOVE THIS SERIES! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

Another brilliant read by Alexis Noelle.

Having read all books previous to this in the series I found that there are similarities in the plot running through them with a distressed female and the Alpha who swoops in and makes everything OK its exactly the sort of plot I love but in danger of being a little repetitive.

Jasmine is from an abusive relationship with an evil man not only is she subject to physical, mental and sexual abuse she is treated like a slave. When she is ordered to get a job to pay her way desperate for anything she applies for and does get a job but little did she know the personal assistants position is with a strip club the MC owned.

Cutter instantly recognises something in jasmine and not only does he feel the instant attraction but he is drawn to her and doesn't want to let go.



Deathstalkers MC has great characters and a great family feel within the MC as the girls who have been in previous books make Jasmine feel welcome when she is taken there fleeing her ex.

Mayhem is a story of healing,survival and inner strength.

I loved Cutters character and the fact that Jasmine reminded him of what his mother went through and he swore to protect Jasmine, history was not repeating itself. An alpha hero with a big heart.

A great series told in dual pov's with great characters.

*Contains scenes of rape and violence.

May hem is part of the Deathstalkers MC series but all can be read as standalone's. Mayhem is why I am a fan of Alexis Noelle her stories are not just words she makes you feel every word and makes you feel it all. This story is not sweet and pretty and at times its down right ugly but its a story you will want to read.

Mayhem is the fifth book in the Deathstalkers MC series. With each book (which can be read as a standalone, but is better if read in sequential order) we get to know a new memeber of the MC as he find that one woman he can't resist and claims her.

With each story the heroine comes from a dark past and seeks refuge from the MC. I have enjoyed each story and liked getting to know Cutter in Mayhem as well as meeting Jasmine. She was a woman trapped in a horrible situation and Cutter is her Knight on chrome wheels. Jasmine grows throughout the story, with the help of the ol' ladies and finds her strength and confidence.

Alexis Noelle does a great job of conveying Jasmine's mindset based on the life she's had. Showing how broken she was and how her mind had been trained to think and how much damage had been done to her psyche.

What I continue to have an issue with and the reason I haven't given 5 stars is that with each book, "the pull" is simply stated at the beginning of the book once the Hero meets the heroine and vice versa. This leaves little to my imagination as to their insta-love connection and keeps me totally removed from the story. I'd prefer if that "pull" was better described by the characters more instead of just stating it as a fact. This way I can live it along with them both. Feel it for myself. This allows me to get lost in the story and become one with the characters as I experience their love story.

That said, I have enjoyed this series to date and look forward to meeting new Deathstalker MC brothers and their ol' ladies. The sneak peek of Sever at the end of Mayhem has me quite curious. Especially since it introduces completely new characters. I look forward to reading it.

Another great instalment in the Deathstalkers MC series.

Cutter needs help. The mess in the office at Ambrosia is too much for him and when timid little Jasmine turns up to interview for the position, there is no way he’s letting her walk away. Something about her calls to him, drawing on his need to protect her, especially when after one look in her eyes shows him she is hiding something.

When Jasmine turns up at Ambrosia to interview for an assistant position, not only is she stunned by the workplace; she had no clue it was a strip club, but the man interviewing her has something about him that makes her feel safe. Something she is definitely not used to after years of abuse at the hands of her husband, Dylan.

It doesn’t take long before Cutter finds out just what the problem is and he takes it on himself to rescue her; he doesn’t take kindly to abusive men, and we find out just how strongly he feels about them when we find out how he got his road name. Dylan won’t give Jasmine up easily though, he’s gunning not only for Cutter and Jasmine, but soon the whole club is in danger.

I’ve enjoyed every one of this series so far and Mayhem was no exception. Obviously due to the content, I would warn that there could be triggers in here for some people but I give Mayhem 5 stars and can’t wait for the next one, Sever.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Mayhem is the fifth book in Alexis Noelle's Deathstalkers MC Series. It can be read as a standalone. However, the series revolves around a cast of characters that are in the previous books. It's such an amazing series you need to just read the entire thing.

This book is absolutely amazing and I swear it gutted me. I've read some dark books about a lot of abuse but this one I could feel deep in my bones. I mourned for the life that Jasmine was living until one day Cutter saved her. Jasmine is in one of the most abusive relationships. She's broken. The only question is is she to broken to ever recover. Cutter knew from the moment they he laid eyes on Jasmine that there was some thing haunting her soul and that his life would never be the same.

Once you start Mayhem your not going to want to put it down. It's a story that I found so emotionally moving. I absolutely loved Cutter. He's all alpha and the treasurer of the Deathstalkers MC. Jasmine has to be one of the strongest characters I've ever read. She has lead a life from the time she met Dylan in eleventh grade then no one should ever have to love though. This book will break your heart, put it back together again and then have it beating out of your chest. I spent a lot of my time reading from the edge of my seat. You do not want to miss this book.

Alexis Noelle never disappoints. All her books are absolutely amazing but tis series is my absolute favorite. If your a fan of MC reads this is one series you do not want to miss.

Intense, suspenseful and fast read, I was on pins and needles here!
This is Cutter and Jasmine's story. The characters were well developed and strong. What I liked most is the sensitivity and insight behind the development of a sensitive and delicate subject.
Part of a series but it can still be enjoyed on its own.

**Carla's Five Star Review

Get your motor running and head out on the highway. Looking for adventure and whatever comes our way. No, those lyrics don't really have anything to do with this story, but they are part of the song that kept running through my mind while reading this book, so I decided to share them. haha you are singing them right now, aren't you?

I am a huge Alexis Noelle fan as well as anything MC related, so this book was a double win for me!

From the moment he first sets eyes on Jasmine, Cutter feels something deep inside him shift, and, he instinctively knows that his life will never be the same. Maybe it's the haunted look in her eyes that brings out his innate need to protect her, but, whatever it is, he decides then and there that he will never let her go. He vows to always protect her, but is that really a promise he can keep when there are outside threats to both her and his club?

Let me warn you-this book is graphic! I mean all things raw, dark, and gritty. With that said, I freakin' loved it! I loved Cutter! He is the definition of a swoon worthy alpha male, but in my opinion, Jasmine was the star of this book! Her strength and perseverance were awe inspiring! Life kept knocking her down, and, she just kept getting back up. If you are a fan of this series, this is a must read, and, if you are new to the Deathstalkers MC, you are in for a real treat! Kudos to Alexis Noelle for another great book!

I love MC romance books and i am glad that i got the opportunity to read Mayhem by Alexis Noelle. This book had my complete attention from the moment i saw the cover. The story line was great and the characters were also. Jasmine is a girl who was fun and loved living life. She was in a relationship with who she thought was the love of her life her high school sweetheart. Now she is just a shell of a girl and functions on instinct and routine. Dylan is a crazy, delusional, abusive and obsessive person who loves instilling fear in people and make them feel week. Cutter is an officer and the treasurer of the Dealthstalkers MC and is in charge of heading up the strip club office aspect making sure everything is in order. But once he gets a look at Jasmine he can't help but want her. Put this characters together and you got one amazing story. Find out how these characters end up. If you are looking for a story with suspense, drama, action, emotion, and love this is the book for you. You will not be disappointed.

Mayhem by Alexis Noelle is book 5 in The Deathstalkers MC series.
I recommend to read the other boks first.
And ! this book is not for the faint of heart!

This is Jason- Cutter and Jasmin- Jaz´s book.
Jasmine Burke runs from her abusive husband and starts working as personal assistant at a stripclub owned by The Deathstalkers MC, where Cutter´s her boss.
Cutter ans Jasmin come closer and they start a relationship.
But then the MC gets ambushed and Jaz is abducted and tortured by her psycho ex.

I read and liked all the other books in this series and Mayhem is no exception.
When you love a tough alpha biker male and his strong heroine, this is your book.
5 Stars and Thank you Alexis Noelle.

The emotion in this MC romance is off the charts. I was instantly drawn to Jasmine, which surprised me at first as I am usually a fan of confident, sassy heroines. Jasmine is more a mouse, not strong, well not in the beginning anyway. Cutter is also a surprise. He is alpha. Hot, tough and a bad ass MC member, who shows he can be gentle and sweet with Jaz.

I was drawn in by these characters, wondering how in hell Jasmine could repair herself after what she had suffered. The development of her and Cutter's relationship was beautiful to watch. Her strength and his patience was astounding. The story had some surprising elements, but it is the relationship between Jasmine and Cutter that makes the book a success.

There are some quite graphic scenes of violence, be warned. Mayhem is not for the feint of heart.

I read Mayhem as a stand alone, but I am keen to read other books from the series.

I am loving the Deathstalkers MC series but this one just might be my favorite.
Jasmine broke my heart! The hell that woman was put through is more than I can even believe. Her husband physically abused her but the mental abuse was the worst. She was barely a functional person.
Cutter was amazing he fell immediately and never stopped wanting this scared girl. Boy he sure didn't know what he was getting into with this one. She wasn't just broken, she was shattered in to pieces and needed to be gently put back together.
I loved watching this rough tough biker try to be easy yet forceful. But what I loved most was watching Jasmine gain strength, confidence and becoming the woman she deserved to be. I was in tears more than once seeing her pain but also seeing her strength. Dylan her ex is definitely one of my most hated book characters. Such a psychotic, evil, son of a b#tch!!
I cannot wait to see what is next in this series, each one gets better than the next

I really really liked this one. It took a different approach from the previous books in the series and I’m relieved that it did, having felt that the books has become a bit repetitive. While I did find the climax of the story a bit too similar to the previous books, the rest of the storyline’s uniqueness made up for it.

Mayhem centered on domestic abuse with Jasmine married to pretty much a psychopath, micromanaging every part and aspect of her life. Something that really drew me in was the depth the story and how it went into showing the abuse and how it affected her. It really made me feel for the character and it made the romance so so much more intense. Cutter slowly learning that something was off in Jasmine’s life and in her almost robotic behavior. It built this natural and heartwarming protectiveness and compassionate behavior from his part. The fact that they had to struggle through the abuse and the emotional scars it had put on Jasmine to fully be together made the relationship all the more beautiful and stronger. Not only that, it really amped up the drama, especially with the threat of her psychopath husband on the loose and the, to her, unknown dangers of being a part of the MC club. I think their romance is the best one so far after Lucy and Jordan.

One thing that put me off a little bit though was how her struggles with finding herself again after years of mental and physical violence was seemingly solved out of nowhere. I mean, in most of the story the focus had been on overcoming what she had been through and getting control again little by little and I loved the depth of that. So why all of a sudden was everything okay and she knew exactly who she was again? What brought that sudden change? I couldn’t really tell, which is why it felt so sudden. With such heavy material this book really could have been afforded to be longer, mainly so the main issue the book focused on could have kept that beautiful development from start to finish and not have that rushed conclusion.

While I had some other small issues with the story (e.g. where are the mentioned kids in all the chaos that happens and why doesn’t any of the parents ever seem to spend time with them?) they were honestly so minor that I’m not going to spend any time dragging the book down because of that. In all I am very happy with the outcome of Mayhem and feel it definitely deserves four stars.

Mayhem could not have been a more perfect title for this book cause this book from page one is going to keep you reading until the very end. Though towards the end I was on the edge of my seat hoping that this did not turn out bad. I will say though that for some this may cause triggers as it does heavily deal with domestic violence. Put this aside and the author did an amazing job of telling just what is dealt with while being in a relationship and how hard it really is to get away from the crazy. You will see just how strong Jaz really is, because from day one I would have been six feet under and not surviving.
I'll go with the word, "FATE". Dylan is a monster and that is putting it mildly cause I don't think there is a word to describe him. He is worse than the devil. If he hadn't pushed for Jasmine to get a job, I don't know what would have happened to her. Going to Ambrosia was the best thing to happen to Jaz besides Cutter AKA Jason.
Cutter may not be ready to relive his past, but there is something from the moment that they meet at Ambrosia that pulls him to her. He truly is her Knight. He may not deserve her either, but he will stop at nothing to protect her, claim her and give her the freedom she deserved. Jaz is completely out of her element in the MC world after being isolated for so long, but they help those who are family and "OLD LADIES".
This is for the first book that I have read in this MC series so as you can see each is a standalone and do not have to be read in order. I am sure the MC story is continuous; however, you can easily follow along. While we read some graphic scenes and may cause stomach turning, it was so well worth the stomach pains you endure while reading this. You will see payback is truly earned in this story. Wrench without you I am not certain where this story would have gone. Put aside the stomach turning scenes and you will fall in love with this story after reading about Jaz, Cutter and the MC family. Where else can pain be someone's else's gain? In this book, Jaz's gut-wrenching pain is Cutter's gain.

I have read many stories in the last five years, but I have never read one that had me reeling day later. It’s setting something off in me, in a completely good way. I love this story.As heartbreaking as it is. It was raw and gritting and we don’t get to read about it a lot of the time. This book is an emotionally charged book that will have you teetering and coming back down from the ledge the author puts you on. This is Cutter’s story and boy is it a story.

Cutter is in need of a personal assistant for the strip club he owns. Jasmine is in need of a job, so she applies there is an instant connection between the two. I really loved Cutter hard. He goes after what he wants and he wants Jasmine. Even if he thinks he shouldn’t. He is strong and possessive of Jasmine. From the moment he sees her she captivates him. She is wary of him, actually, she is wary of everyone.

Oh, good golly Jasmine broke my heart. Her story is heartbreaking on a whole different level. She is so strong and doesn’t even realize it. She had to claw her way back through and I felt like I was there with her every step of the way. The mental and emotional abuse that woman had to endure. I just simply don’t know how she did it. Through all of it, though, Cutter was there with her every step of the way. I was feeling everything with her. I was worried though about how she would react to the MC.

This book needs to come with a warning. I have never once hated a person in a book as much as I hated Dylan. He needs to rot in the fiery pits of hell. He is a mean, evil, vile psychotic man. I really don’t think I can call him a man.

I loved reading about how Cutter pulled Jasmine back. He was loving and supportive and has a huge heart. Will Cutter be enough to pull Jasmine back from the insanity that is her life? This has a been one wild ride. Another amazing story in the Deathstalker MC series by Alexis Noelle.

5 Stars!

When Jasmine is forced to find a job by her abusive husband, she starts to fear she'll just disappoint him once more. Her last hope is an ad for a PA at a place called Ambrosia. Having no idea Ambrosia is actually a strip club owned by the local DeathStalkers MC, Jasmine is completely unprepared by the dark and intimidating man interviewing her.

Cutter is surprised that the beautiful yet seemingly timid woman in front of him would be comfortable working in a strip club even if it is in an office behind a desk. There is something about her that calls to him, though, and makes him want to pull her into his arms. If only he was confident that she would not only want someone like him but could actually handle what that would mean. However, when he finds out she's taken he knows he needs to back off.

The more time Cutter spends with Jasmine the more he begins to realize she is more fragile than he thought. Someone has beaten her down and tried to break her. She deserves to be happy but it's obvious she's not. Even though it's not his place Cutter feels the need to be the one to pick up the pieces and put her back together. He will get his chance sooner rather than later when her husband vows to destroy her.

Slowly and gently, Cutter along with the Deathstalkers family are able to help Jasmine start over and find her strength. Nothing lasts forever, though, because being part of an MC is dangerous. Enemies are always near and between those set to harm the Deathstalkers and a husband hell bent on never letting her walk away both Jasmine and Cutter will have to be stronger and Braver than they've ever been before.

While Alexis Noelle is not new to the world of contemporary romance, she is relatively new to me. I expected to read a very formulaic motorcycle romance when I first started Mayhem but instead, I found myself completely immersed in the world and the characters that took up the screen of my Kindle. Alexis Noelle is definitely great at what she does and I'm going to add her to my list of great MC Romance authors.

I had to step up, take over, Save her from herself, From him. A jerk who didn't deserve her. But I sure as Hell don't either She's too sweet, too soft, too kind. A broken shell of the woman she once was.

But now, there's more on the line, She's in too deep. And I'll be damned if I ever give up On putting her back together, Piece-by-piece, Owning every ounce of the woman, Who stole my heart.

Obviously, this blurb is a tad vague but it was very compelling as well. I had no idea that the Hero Cutter would completely and utterly steal my heart. He is the very definition of a modern day "Knight in Shining Armor". While he is by no means a softie or weak but a hard, Alpha Biker, he also possesses the ability to treat his woman like she means everything in the world to him. He didn't fall into the stereotypes we see so often in these types of books and I have not one negative thing to say about him other than the fact that he is only a fictional character. I have definitely found myself a new Book Boyfriend.

Jasmine, sweet yet so damaged Jasmine. I loved her, too and while I wish she could have had the strength to walk away from that horrible and repugnant man she married long before she'd become so beaten down, I'm glad her journey led her to Cutter and she embraced him and the life he offered her. Not once did she make me want to wring her neck, which again is something I often feel with this genre, she just made me want to help her see what he had done to her.

Luckily Jasmine has Cutter. They are great together and while maybe it was a bit of instalove it was also endearing and I didn't mind it one bit. They had excellent chemistry and they fit so well together I could actually see them lasting for the long haul and having a great relationship.

I love the way the women of the club immediately find a place for Jasmine and make it easy for her to see she can fit in. I'm not saying she needed hand holding because she quickly melds into her role as an Old Lady but I definitely like that the women in the club seem to stick together and support one another. That's important to me since there is so much emphasis on how the men support each other and how important the brotherhood is. We gotta have a sisterhood as well, right?

When all is said and done, I cannot recommend this book enough. Honestly, whether you're a fan of MC books or not, this is a great book. Alexis Noelle definitely has a new fan.

I have been waiting for this book in the series for what feels like forever. As soon as it hit my kindle I dived right in. This was not an easy read filled with heartbreak and pain, I was an emotional wreck. Jasmine was an amazing character to read, having everything knocked out of her she still found strength to carry on, she still believed in the idea of love. Cutter was the rock throughout this book, and the way he bought out the best in Jasmine made me swoon.

Jasmine lives every day the same, following rules, scared to upset her husband, waiting for his fist to connect. When he looses his job he demands she goes out to work, but this is all new to Jasmine. He has always provided for them and she doesn't know how to sell herself. Applying for the job as a PA, she is a nervous wreck and when she shows up and comes face to face with the man who will be her boss she don't know if this was the best decision.

Cutter needs a PA and when Jasmine comes for her interview he is instantly intrigued. He knows she is different and he also knows she is hiding something but he dont want to push to hard and scare her off. Giving her the job straight away he just hopes she is cut out for the things she is going to see.

Jasmine is left second guessing everything, Cutter makes her feel things that she doesn't even feel for her husband.

Jasmine's secrets start to unfold when her husband turns up at the club and Cutter steps in to help.

Cutter has seen this before, his parents were the same but he feels something for Jasmine and will protect her at every cost.

This is no easy ride for the both of them, with Jasmine's husband, the club girls and then the fact that Jasmine can not be protected by the club since she hasnt been claimed things get a bit rocky.

Can Cutter protect Jasimne?
Will Jasmine ever be free?
Will they ever have a future?

Read and find out you wont be disappointed!!!

***** 5 Cranky Stars *****

When an Author decides to write about a difficult subject that is still taboo to discuss today, it can be done in several ways, but there is no right or wrong way to do it. The storyline can be written by the Author deciding to lightly skirt the issue and discussing this subject in a gentle manner that is acceptable to everyone or jump in with both feet ready to tackle this sensitive topic to the best of their ability. This Author decided to do it with elegance and impartiality with the words written in this story.



Cutter is a man who sees a woman in distress that needs his help. Even though, this woman doesn’t realize that she needs him to be her knight in shining armor. She is used to the dysfunctional life that was handed to her. Cutter knows that Dylan doesn’t deserve the woman he married straight out of high school. Cutter can’t justify the need to have her for himself. This doesn’t mean he won’t do want it takes to get and keep her forever.



Cutter knows that Jasmine is a broken shell of a woman that he is willing to put back together piece by piece. Cutter finds himself falling for Jasmine’s sweet and kind nature. He only gets to see it occasionally because she puts up this emotionless, blank mask.



Jasmine finds herself in a situation that she never thought she would be in. Life events have beaten her down until there is nothing left. She meets Cutter and starts feeling emotions that she hasn’t felt in a long time. Things in Jasmine’s life escalate to the point of no return and she starts falling for Cutter. Jasmine can be happy and live a life full of love if she can let herself overcome the evil actions that were bestowed upon her.



It was hard to write this review because of the delicate nature that the author writes about in this book. I was trying not to give any juicy details and to leave it for the readers. This Author does a fantastic job of writing this story. This delicate subject is handled in a graceful and talented way. Most authors struggle to write about any delicate topic that society deems sensitive, and wrong. I have read a few other books by this Author but thought this was one of her best ones yet. I wonder what she has in store for the readers next.

MC Club books are some of my favorite genre's to read and I will be adding Mayhem to that list of books. It checks off quite a few boxes on my list to make it a good book. It is hot, sexy, dramatic, feel good, and uplifting. From start to finish, this book grabbed me and I could not put it down until the very last page.

Jasmine is a broken woman. Living a dreadful existence with a no good abusive husband. She is beat down and believes that she is not good enough for anyone. Trying to please the scum that is her husband, Jasmine gets a job and walks into Cutter's life.

Cutter immediately knows that there is more to the meek and mousy Jasmine. There is something about her that makes him want to care and protect her. When Cutter learns the truth of why Jasmine is the way she is almost sends him off the deep end. Luckily for him, he has a brotherhood that is there to keep him grounded and keep his head in the game. Cutter makes a decision that changes both his and Jasmine's life. Sometimes you have to become the thing you hate the most to save someone you care about.

I LOVED every character of this book. The girls at the MC were great supporting characters for Jasmine. They were sassy and fun. I think that Cutter and Jasmine were great complimenting characters and their story was a really good read.

Who's not a sucker for a good MC book? This is the 5th book in the Death Stalkers Series. It's a quick read that I read it one sitting. It was hard to put down. With each chapter, something new was happening and I was so engrossed! It was a bit hard at times with the domestic violence, but once you get passed it, it's smooth sailing.

Jasmine was told to honor her husband and make him happy, but he made it difficult for her to keep that promise. Jasmine's character is broken, damaged, and a complete mess. She is timid, but very nosey. She is forced to get a job with no type of skill. She can't believe she lands one, which leads her right in the path of Cutter.

Cutter becomes observant of Jasmine's appearance. Which leads to him thinking about her and wondering what her story is. Cutter is not the type of man to take interest in a woman, but there's something about Jasmine. Once he finds out what she's hiding, Cutter sees red and wants nothing but to protect Jasmine. But will Jasmine want his help?

This is full of drama, and sexy, hot bikers! Their bark is worse than their bite. When it comes to their woman, they go all in. I loved the girls in this book. They were sassy, fun, and flirty! They took Jasmine under their wings and showed her how to live. Jasmine becomes a better woman with they help of her friends and Cutter.

This is the fifth book in the Deathstalkers MC series. They are stand alones, but I highly recommend that you read them all. They are great reads with some alpha males and kick-ass, strong women.

This is Cutter’s book. He is the MC’s treasure and he is doing the book keeping at Ambrosia, their strip club. He needs and assistant to help him.

This is where Jasmine comes in. She needs a job badly. Her husband is out of work and blames her for it. She hasn’t ever worked, but Cutter hires her anyways. Now there is a lot going on with Jasmine. He husband is a psycho.

Dylan treats Jasmine as a slave. I will warn you, there is domestic abuse and rape in this story. It’s not easy to read what Jasmine goes through at the hands of the person that is suppose to love, cherish, support, and protect her. It’s not pretty.

She thinks she’s weak. But she is strong. Thanks to Cutter saving her, she now has the chance to save herself. It isn’t easy though.

Jasmine does a complete transformation. Alexis Noelle did a fantastic job of showing the change from Jasmine to Jaz in this story. I absolutely loved it and I love Jaz and Cutter. They are so great together.

Lucy was amazing, as were the rest of the Old Ladies. But Lucy helped Jaz the most.

This is such a great series and I can’t wait to read more!

The gang are back and this time it's Cutter's story and what a powerful story this is. Not only does it cover the insta-love and the MC family, it also covers a very serious subject of domestic abuse which was really well written and it packed a very powerful punch.
When Cutter advertises for help in the office he wasn't prepared for Jasmine. Once he saw her he was hooked but he noticed that there was something was wrong and he has that urge that he needs to make it right. Jasmine is broken, abused, beat down and needs a job. When she applies for the job she isn't prepared for what greets her and that is help. With the help of all the old ladies and the rest of the crew Cutter finally starts to break down her walls. There is a twist in the storyline and we see the real Cutter emerge and we also get to see a glimpse of the other guys we love so much.
This story is heartbreaking but I could't put it own. It had me hooked and frantically turning each page desperate to see what happens. The message it sends is there is always hope and help out there and you don't have to suffer alone. Due to some content this book may contain triggers.
I absolutely love this series and I can't wait to see what's in store next for the MC.
