Whoever said that the quiet ones are the most deadliest had Mayhem Bailey in mind. According to everyone in the Windy City, Mayhem has an icebox in place of his heart and no lady has ever been able to penetrate it. That is, until he meets Xenobia Bell. Mayhem falls fast and hard for Xenobia, and in his eyes, their relationship is picture-perfect. However, their relationship is ruined when Xenobia does the unthinkable, shattering Mayhem’s heart into a million pieces. That was eight years ago, and the heartache still feels fresh to Mayhem.

Olena Hill, the polar opposite of Mayhem, is the free spirit that mothers warn their sons about. She lives her life unapologetically with no concern for what anyone thinks of her. Olena is content with keeping a rotation of male lovers until she is cornered aggressively by Mayhem, who claims her as his woman. The once-free Olena finds her bright spirit being diminished by the aggressive Mayhem, who craves control and grows enraged when he doesn’t have it. As Olena learns to take the beast as he is, she discovers a new side of Mayhem. That side of Mayhem is keeping a secret from Olena; a secret that has to do with how he became broken in the first place.

Will Mayhem set aside his relationship paranoia to be the man that Olena wants, or will he take Olena down the same path of hurt that Xenobia took him down?

Mayhem and Olena

I love Mayhem and I love Olena even more. Nobie really did a number on Mayhem. I'm really rooting for Mayhem and Olena but I think Zenobie's presence is gonna shake their already shaky foundation. I know Olena isn't gonna sit by and be played nor is she gonna stand for any foolishness. Nobie's husband outta be ashamed of himself.💜💜

Mayhem that’s it, that’s the review. Olena about to break him. I don’t see her playing that mess with him.

Sexy Good!

This is the right name for this story,Mayhem! Finally we get a look inside the life of Mayhem.Bailey. This is a story that moves like a WI ding road and you racing around the curves at a hundred miles an hour. The fact that Mayhem and Olena have fallen into a very passionate relationship is bonus. Now most people would disagree with the way Olena is handling business, the rotation is her business. But now what really got on my nerves was that mouth,it got a little tiresome. Now about Mayhem and his life and the way he handles his affairs, I say "timber"! When they mighty fall it is so sweet.This one really well written and excuted story and the writer had a little something for everyone.

KITTEN!

Ms. Bianca, you ain't neva lied when you said Mayhem was difficult! He first ignored Olena for three years. Then, he suddenly decided he not only wanted her, he wanted her to be his sub to do with as he pleased, while continuing to entertain other women, as many as he pleased. But Olena was not accepting of that type of relationship! Mayhem has frustrated me to the point of putting this book down, several times, and not finishing it! Then there is Xenobia, lurking in the shadows, having had seemingly nothing but bad luck since she did Mayhem dirty! Child dying? Need a million dollars to save him? Ask the man you treated the worst! I'm on to book two!

A tough read but really good

Mayhem is a different bread. Malice is crazy but he has nothing on Mayhem. It really annoyed me that he expected Olena to give up her roster, while he continued living as he pleases. Mayhem is kinda scary in a way. I understand he is afraid to be hurt which is why he is so selfish, but it isn’t fair to Olena. I proud of Olena for standing her ground and not letting Mayhem, get away with things. I was tempted to stop reading because Mayhem antics seemed a bit more abusive, however I kept going because it was to interesting. Plus the things he does is apart of the whole BDSM world. Overall the book is good. I am off to read the second book.

so nice I read it twice

I’m still tripping on myself you know you’ve written a great book when your readers give multiple reads to ur story….. this is one of them Learning what make Mayhen so mysterious and really scary is just as crazy as he is…. I love how he’s met his match with Olena like he literally found the female version of himself and he’s having a very hard time adjusting. Olena is breaking Mayhem down with every disobeying thing she does hopefully this will end with them together and maybe with a baby…
Happy reading

real life fatal attraction

Mayhem fits his name perfectly! He needs more than a therapist, he needs some meds too! They said it’s them quiet ones you gotta look out for.
Mayhem had a love that ended traumatically and it shaped him into the man he is now with women - no trust, love, and monogamy. Until he gets interested in Olena. She is sexually open and makes no apologies for it - she lives her best life. But she ain’t committing if he ain’t committing. He is controlling as hell, but she ain’t backing down.

This is a wild read!

This book... I'm trying to hurry up and write this so I can get to book 2 😂

Here are my thoughts:
1. Mayhem is gonna help her, I just hope he doesn't hurt Olena in the process 🥺
2. Nobia better gone somewhere before Olena dog walk her🙄 👊🏾
3. Mayhem don't know who he playing with... Olena is mess around and find out personified 💅🏾
4. Not he gave them both the same name!!! 😺

A lot of groundwork was laid in this book and they were just getting to a good place but that cliffhanger! I hope it doesn't ruin what they have but I gotta feeling it might...

It felt a little more like abuse. Only because he was choking her before he knew she liked it. Also, any time and I mean any time she said or did something that made him mad he was getting mad to a point that it’s concerning and if this was real you would question his therapist because he wasn’t really helping any on the anger/aggressive part. He would also get welts on his face when he was really mad, stressed, or when she was talking about breaking up.

This is an overall review of the three books not just this one.

To over the top

I love the Bailey Family and Mayhem was one of my favorite characters in Malice book, but I feel like this book makes him too much over the top. The controlling is not sexy it’s straight up abusive and it’s hard to listen too. Believe it or not it’s my second time through this series and I feel the same about certain parts of the book. But if that is good with you then this is a great book. I support all things Bianca tho 😘

Olena and Pryor

Olena has been in love with Mayhem since she first met him at 15 years old. Her crush intensified when she turned 16, and he broke her heart! When her sister marries his godfather , they have constant contact that leads to drama! When Mayhem has had enough he takes her by the neck and gives her the time of her life. Can their love last? Or will a blast from the past ruin it? A great read!

I was looking forward to reading Mayhem’s story as he came across much more stable (and less toxic) than his brother Malice. I was wrong!

Mayhem is a bit of a freak but in a good way 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.

Olena, now she is one of the few female lead characters that I haven’t liked. She’s a sting personality which I love but her mouth was too foul and she came across a bit immature.

Good story, that ends on a cliff hanger. Heading to book 2.

Total mayhem

This story was total mayhem because some of everything is going on. However Olean and Mayhem are two peas in a pod. She gives just as good as she gets and he can't stand that. Just when you think things are on one account, the past knows how to show up unexpectedly and explodes everything. Can't wait to read part two.

So much back and forth

So I have officially went down the rabbit with this series and family. May and Olena aer toxic and crazy ASF 🤣🤣. Olena works every nerve I have with her childish ways and she doesn’t communicate well either. Mayhem is working on being better but he should’ve told LeLe about his ex but now let’s see how this plays out.

Oh my

Mayhem is a piece of work!! He has met his match in Olena though she goes toe to toe with him. Zenobia ain't fooling nobody she wants her spot back🙄😑 her husband is nasty. Karisma is not to be trusted at all she's sneaky.
