Mayhem.
I bring it.
I own that shit.
Then I walk away and leave you to clean up the mess. That’s the way I’ve always lived. For me, there is no other way. This is who I am. With all of this world comes death. I’ve experienced it first hand and it ruined me. The Taylor was thrust into my world. She was everything I should have stayed away from. Too bad I don’t follow directions.

Taylor: Rich snob. That’s what everyone thought I was. They didn’t know me. Not the real me. My dad may have thrown me away but I still held onto the idea of family. I wanted to prove myself but when my dad’s threats are directed at me, I’m tossed into the arms of a long dirty blond-haired rebel. I wasn’t supposed to fall for someone like him. So, I fought my attraction. Let’s see how well I do at that.

I am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.

I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.

I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with.

Title: ➳ ❤- Mayhem:
Series ➳ Soulless Bastards NoCal 2#
Author: ➳ Erin Trejo
Publication: July 9, 2018


ღ Mayhem is the club enforcer & the son of the Prez, but that don’t mean he doesn’t pull his weight in the club

Mayhem is assign to guard the mayor’s daughter… Yay… not … 1st she looks too much like his past love… the love he still hasn’t got over 4 years later…2nd the look of content she give him , only tells him she spoil brat
Mayhem soon learns how wrong his judgement of Taylor is

➦ Taylor Master is the mayor’s daughter & he been pushing her away since her mother die when she was only 8 years ago

➦ Taylor has been living in Rome for the last few years studying, but her father force her to return to the last place on earth she wants to be. Cuz her lovely father has enemies

►two broken souls trying to find their way in life the best way they can

♥●• in the being of this book I really didn’t like either one of these character’s, but Ms. Trejo work her magic & they slowly work their way under your skin

Mayhem & Taylor both have their own issues, will they be able to work their way through them together or will they end up going their separate ways?

Either way in the end Mayhem & Taylor have changed each other’s life, only question is – was it for the better or worse?

► one way to find out how the story play out, is to “one click” this book & find out for yourself

💕 I really enjoyed Mayhem & I am excited to see what Ms. Trejo will writes next with Tic’s book .

📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion & my honest review 💕

I was enjoying Mayhem and Taylor's book all the way up until he went and did something that I despise in a romance book. I feel the need to bring it up in my review, so I will warn anyone reading this now that I am putting a spoiler in my review. I don't normally do this but I was very mad.
Basically, Mayhem had some club whore give him a BJ while him and Taylor were still together..What kind of turned me off even more is that she even walked in on them and didn't say anything about it. To be honest, the scene was weird to me, and I kind of scratched my head, because literally it all got overlooked.
Normally, this would have wrecked the whole story for me, as I hate either one of the main couple having "sexual relations" with someone else...but like I said..I was enjoying the story up until that part.

Seeing as I went and bought this whole series at once, I am moving on to the third book. It is about Mayhem's brother, Tic. I quite like him, so I am hoping that his book will redeem my feelings about this series!!! Fingers crossed!

You know I thought nothing could top my love for Declan but I think Mayhem has either taken over first place or the two boys are neck and neck. The jury is still out on that...

My god from page one I was brought back into the world of the Soulless Bastards MC (how I missed those guys) and couldn’t get enough of them. Mayhem is given a job to watch over Taylor and from that point on there is a battle of what each person wants. Mayhem is stuck in the past after he lost someone he loved and Taylor is consumed with always feeling unwanted. Will the two be able to let go and come together?

Mayhem is full of angst, suspense and some hot and heavy moments as well as sweet and tender ones. I was in love with both Mayhem and Taylor from the beginning all the way to the end. Just loved everything about this book. Mayhem is a bad-boy you just can’t help but love and Taylor is the sweet, innocent girl who just melts your heart.

“My gentleness mixed with his harshness is such a sweet friction. I want more of it.”

This book was just everything and then some. Love me those Soulless Bastards!!! Erin Trejo everything about this book was perfect.

Mayhem was the second book in the Soulless Bastards MC series by Erin Trejo.

Mayhem was the Enforcer in the MC as well a son of the President. He was the crazy and fun brother, always creating “mayhem” wherever he went but he was also a man who grieved the loss of his old lady going on four years.

Taylor was the mayor’s daughter. She lost her mom to cancer when she was seven and her dad sent her to boarding school in Rome at eight. At twenty she was called back home. She’s lived most of her life isolated so she had very few friends and had difficulty with attachments.

I was looking forward to Mayhem’s story as he was one of my favorites in the first book, Declan. However, I didn’t really like the characters in this storyline. Taylor was weak and meek, while Mayhem was a dick. I had a difficult time following them. And for those wanting safe, yea, this was so far from it, it would never pass for my safe friends. The story was well written and well developed, I just wasn’t fond of the direction.

With that said, I like Trejo’s writing style and suspenseful themes and I’m looking forward to more in the series. Tic and Ashley are up next and I can’t wait!

Can the Soulless Bastards MC NoCal men get any hotter?! First there was Declan and now we have Mayhem’s story and oh, what a story it is. Mayhem is the enforcer of the club with his dad being the Prez. Mayhem just had a job handed to him and that was to pull security on the mayor’s daughter, Taylor. There’s a problem though; Taylor looks just like the love of his life that died four years ago and left Mayhem a broken man. Does Taylor even have a chance at pulling Mayhem out of the nightmare his life has become and does Taylor want to take a chance on a man who kills and doesn’t bat an eye in doing his job? Both of them have issues with the way they grew up so is there even a chance for Taylor and Mayhem?

Be ready for a book you can’t put down. It will pull at your heartstrings all the while it will have you fanning yourself. Who could ask for anything more from a great MC read!

Mayhem is a great name for the main character in Book 2 of Soulless Bastards NoCal. The definition of mayhem is: violent or damaging disorder; chaos. Mayhem definitely lives up to his name. He is not a nice guy. His line of work has no room for that. Taylor is the mayor's daughter. Her dad is up to some shady dealings and Mayhem has been put in charge of being her live-in security guard. On the outside, she appears to be a spoiled/privileged rich kid but Taylor's life has been anything but ideal. Mayhem and Taylor appear to be like water and vinegar but they don't know is that they have more in common than they realize.

It was gritty, angsty, a lot of action, heartbreak, steamy scenes, and danger. I have read MC books from Erin Trejo before and absolutely loved them! However, this one felt like it was missing something. It was a good, entertaining, quick read but not on the same level as some of her other work.

If your looking for a sexy as sin biker then Mayhem's definately the guy! He's hot but carries his demons he's an enforcer who loves to kill, sometimes the kill makes him feel alive after being empty for so long that is until he takes orders to protect a rich girl who cannot stand him and he feels a pull between them but can he wear Taylor down and have one night of sex to get Taylor out of his system!

Taylor might be a rich kid but only through genetics her dad has never wanted her since she was a little girl, he's blames her for all the bad times and sent her away, now he needs her for his own selfish needs, but what does this mean for Taylor can she be protected or will her dad's deeds land her in danger?

She drives Mayhem insane and he can't commit through his own guilt, can he rid himself of that guilt and make something with Taylor!

Fabulous M.C book that's very sexy, plenty of action and angst between the characters a great addition to the Souless crew I can't wait for Tic's book to be released. Erin has made another great book.

The Soulless Bastards have been hired as security and bodyguards for the Mayor and his daughter, Taylor.
Mayhem is feeling sorry for himself. His dad,Blu, assigned him to overlook the security of Taylor.
They each hate each other on sight,he thinks she’s a spoiled rich girl, not knowing the truth about her past. She thinks he’s a dirty thug,who’s up to no good.
They fight like cats and dogs from the first moment, but slowly come to and understanding about each other.
Taylor brings mayhem back to life,the way he use to be, before he lost his way.
They fall in love and keep each other.on their toes for the rest of their lives.

Title: Mayhem
Author: Erin Trejo
Publication Date: July 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance/MC/New
This is book two in author Erin Trejo's newest MC Romance series. A lot of people, myself included, tend to say the leading man is the Hero and the leading lady the heroine. In these books by Trejo the MC guys are more your anti-hero. And Mayhem covered in blood almost daily is not a "hero". Yet, he is a hero to his lady love Taylor. His assignment: bodyguard; and boy does he guard her body. Sorry to say, every girls worst nightmare might be true...who are you thinking of when you are with me?

Survivors guilt has taken hold of our antihero. He has it bad and it darkens his soul. Taylor. his new love, refuses to be pushed away but as she says, she isn't "her". I have to say there is one scene where our man is caught with his pants down. Were they really on a break? A Ross and Rachel moment.

Anyway, it true Trejo fashion this book is filled with angst, anger, passion and fire. In a few softer moments you even feel the sweetness and love not just the lust. I admire Taylor and her perseverance, compassion, and loyalty but I still wanted to smack her a time or two. And Mayhem. I always ask the same question: why can't you see what is in front of you? Guess those darker emotions keep you blind.
Well written, good characters, enough angst grit and passion to keep you turning the page. Looking forward to book three.

Oh what do I say about Mayhem. Mmm I thought Declan was swooning but Mayhem is freaking damn swooning and I’m going to claim him until the next one 😂. This is the second book in Soulless Bastards mc series about Mayhem and Taylor’s story.
Once again Erin’s writing had me from the beginning to the end and I couldn't put the book down so be ready for a fantastic ride.
This story is full of action, adventure, steamy hot sexy chemistry between Mayhem and Taylor that will keep you turning pages until the end. I can’t wait to meet the rest of Soulless Bastards.
Fantastic read.

Another pulse pounding epic release from Erin Trejo!

Mayhem is the Soulless Bastards MC enforcer, and is hired to act as security for the mayor's daughter. Who knew that the mayor had a daughter? Especially one as delectable as Taylor? But Mayhem isn't looking for a woman; he's still mourning the loss of Becca, four years later....

Taylor: “I wish I had a life. All I have is the regret of the past and a new diploma. One day I will make a move and get out from under his shadow. One day I will have a REAL life.”

Taylor was sent away from home at the age of eight. Her father blamed Taylor for the death of her mother from cancer. Taylor knew it wasn't her fault, but the heavy cloak of guilt clings to her shoulders, weighing her down. She desperately wants to escape; escape her father's contempt, his constant denigrating comments, his active dislike.... And she thinks she's found a way to be free...

Mayhem: “I shove off the wall, tired of this conversation; I don't take my job lightly. This is my life; this is the way I live.” But Taylor is so sweet, so innocent, so delectable...

“I'm no good, Tay. Don't look at me like I'm your savior.”

But Taylor believes differently. She knows, in her heart, in her soul, that Mayhem would never hurt her, not like her father. He IS her savior, and she's determined to prove it...

Mayhem: “She's everything. She's the light I need her to be. She's strong when she has to be, but she's also gentle when I need that.” “In this moment, I knew I'd never let her go. She will never be away from me.”

Gritty, graphic... real. I felt tears welling as I read this book; it strikes hard: the pain, the empathy, the sheer challenges that Mayhem and Taylor face, not only with the world at large, but with each other. A captivating read, with sexual tensions running high, and graphic sex scenes as well. Erin Trejo has outdone herself with Mayhem!

Mayhem feels broken, blaming himself for his wife’s death and that everyone leaves. Taylor is tired of her father controlling her, living a sheltered life and wants to stop getting blamed for everything that has gone wrong in his life and just wants someone to want her.
Mayhem hates Tayler when he first sees her and even tries to get taken off the job, they try to deny it but they both know there’s an attraction there, Mayhem knows he’s not good enough for Taylor but she’s persistent, and he hasn’t felt about a woman this way since his wife died.
Mayhem can’t fight it anymore but doesn’t want Taylor to regret it, he’s never been so gentle in his life with a woman, until Taylor tells him he doesn’t have to. What he doesn’t expect after is that Taylor feels right.
Taylor learns that just has she has her own issues so does Mayhem, and she only reminds him of what he lost.
Mayhem knows he needs to work things out and he can’t do that with Taylor around him. Taylor realises when her dad wants to send her away again that she’s never been wanted. Mayhem lets Taylor know that he has to get away to find himself again just as Taylor cuts ties with her dad, but he doesn’t think she can handle the life he lives.

Will Mayhem be able to let go off the guilt he feels over he’s wife’s death, the fear of losing someone again, to give him and Taylor a chance, will Taylor walk away before he does.

I was sooo excited to finally get to read Mayhem and I got to read on KU!!! I am such a huge Erin Trejo fan and love LOVE when she has a new book released!!!

Soo Mayhem is the next MC in the Soulless Bastards MC series. He is the enforcer and good lord, you can sooo tell he is perfect for this position cuz he does love fucking people up!!! And to top it off, he is more ruthless, if that is possible, cuz he lost his old lady four years ago. "The day she died was the day he lost what was left of his sanity."

Mayhem has a new job that he was asked to do. He is asked to be on a security team, protecting the mayors daughter. The mayor is dirty and he has worked with the club for many years but he has asked them for a favor of watching his daughter. Mayhem will be on night watch. Good Lord this is where his buttons are going to be pushed. She is a spit fire and Mayhem definitely has his work cut out for him..lol I fell head over heals over these two!! Sooo much banter and sexual tension made for one Hell of a read!!!

I gave Mayhem 5 Shining Stars!!!! Thank you for another great read Erin Trejo!!!!

This is the second book in the soulless bastards series and it just gets better and better as the story unfolds. Erin Trejo has written an intense, emotional read that is layered with beautiful themes and overcoming broken hearts.

The characters Mayhem and Taylor are polar opposites. Their chemistry is rough and tormented, both trying to overcome broken hearts from their past. However, once they collide their connection is explosive. Hold onto your panties ladies because you know how rough MC men like their women to take it... damn it’s sizzling off the pages, HOT!!!!

I couldn’t put this book down. I did enjoy it more than the first book in this series but I’m seriously thinking this author knows how to write thrilling MC stories that hook you from the beginning.

I love MC books so it was easy for me to get into this book. I loved the story line & the writing was great. The only thing that bugged me about this book is when Mayhem goes to the other club & she walks in & catches him with another woman, they never even discuss it. Yet she takes him right back. That’s part of the story that really was out of place for me.
Other than that little piece I absolutely loved all the action & how everyone got along. Can’t wait to read the next book.

Amazing!!

This is Mayhem and Taylor’s story, and it’s a great one. She thinks he’s a street thug, and he thinks she’s a b**ch when they first meet and yet there somehow drawn to one another. She’s got daddy issues and he’s got all kinds of issues. Come along for an exciting adventure as we watch Mayhem and Taylor fall in love!!

Wonderful book!

I did not like Mayhem at all in Dec's book, nor did I like him at first in this book. That being said, as his story was told, it was so sad and the emotions expressed so realistically it is now a favorite. Ms. Trejo could not have written a better character for him to become involved with. While Taylor has her own sadness, the joy of reading about her is how quickly she finds her inner strength. I love this series and highly recommend it.

I can definitely say that I need more Mayhem! At first i didn't really like Taylor. I thought she was immature and a bit of a cry baby. Meeting Mayhem was the thing she needed to grow up.
Mayhem is all alpha male and it's hot!
This is a fast pace book that kept me interested from the very beginning. Love it!!
I can't wait to read Tic's story!

Mayhem is broken and Taylor is the only one who can fix him. He doesn’t want to give it but she is stubborn and won’t give up. She knows that she can make him see that life is worth living happy and she has totally has her work cut out for her. He is a hard ass but she can make him whole again.
Awesome writing. Fabulous storyline.

After losing the woman he loved Mayhem has had to deal with the pain and anguish, even though he's the indestructible Enforcer for the Soulless Bastards .
Taylor has had a hard life after her mom died , to her father she's invisible . That is until he needs to use her for his business dealings.
When these two meet there is an explosion of emotions . Two broken souls colliding amidst a battlefield.
It's Raw and full of Angst.
He's apprehensive and pushes her away and she's not taking no for an answer .
There is some mighty HOT, panty dropping chemistry between Mayhem & Taylor that Mrs. Trejo etched into these pages .
But for me the action , bloodshed and twisted storyline that keeps you flipping the pages until there are no more keeps me craving the next book in this series .

OK I have to put this out there first then I will get into my review. First off I really am not into MC books but for some reason I read one from this author and became stuck. I mean really stuck. What makes her's any different you may ask, I have to honestly answer I have no freaking clue. Her guys are rough and rowdy, cursing and screw anything with 2 legs and a hole so what is there to like. If you like men that are broken and hiding their hearts behind the rough tough biker image. Or men that will protect as fiercely as they love. Or how about the women that love them. They are fierce and strong. Even if they come to the club in pieces they always seem able to dig deep and find their strength.

With Taylor and Mayhem we get all of it. These two broken by their past. Caste aside like garbage by those that were supposed to love and protect them. This author makes us feel every punch as they come to terms with their own personal stuff and find each other. It helps that their biker family and yeah they are truly a family, they are there to support, to love, to cry, to protect. I bawl like a baby and come unglued when I read about them. Somehow some way each read becomes personal. Their pain becomes mine and I crumble and share it, can't help it. These are great reads, go find out for yourself.

I couldn't put this book down. Mayhem was a great story. Erin Trejo did a wonderful job on it. The story was well written with a great plot. It was filled with emotions and packed with action. Mayhem and Taylor were strong characters, that have been through a lot and are somewhat broken. Mayhem never thought he could feels so strongly about someone again but Taylor was special. Taylor hasn't had someone that cared about her for since her mom passed.
Mayhem and Taylor have an instant connection, a strong one. They were good for one another, helped heal each other. The chemistry was sexy between them. Loved how protective Mayhem was. He would do anything to protect Taylor.
This was a great read. Mayhem and Taylor were great together. I enjoyed this book. I recommend reading.
Thank you, Erin Trejo. Great work :) 5 Stars!
