Graven Bastards MC: Las Vegas, NV #2
Reckless Mayhem
Never make a deal with the Devil.
Manic:
They call me a monster. A master of disguise. The phantom who travels within shadows.
It's been said that I can steal a man's breath from across the room or slice his throat without lifting a finger.
The rumors are true.
I have a gift for dealing death, a hunger for bloodshed that blocks rational thought.
And when something of mine is threatened . . . I unleash the beast, giving into his carnal, wicked appetite.
There's one soul on this earth that I crave, covet, and swear to protect at all costs.
My pretty, perfect doll.
A wicked biker like me doesn't deserve her light, grace, or love, but that doesn't stop me from taking it.
Bianca is mine.
Nothing is breaking us apart, even if I have to wreck everyone in my path to keep her.
And selling my soul to the devil seems like a fair price to pay to ensure no one stands in my way.
Reckless Mayhem is not a standalone. Manic Mayhem MUST be read first.
Reckless Mayhem is part of the Royal Bastards MC Tonopah/Las Vegas, NV world and includes steamy scenes, biker slang, kidnapping, violence, revenge, dark content, and a slight paranormal twist. This is a wicked tale with a biker/mafia twist on The Phantom of the Opera featuring an OTT protective, possessive outlaw.

Fantastic Conclusion
The is the second book in this duet and was an awesome addition to the RBMC Las Vegas series that is a dark and dirty MC book with a twist of PNR mixed in. Manic/Benny would do anything to protect the woman he loves. Bianca’s life is in jeopardy and she had no idea why but Benny gave everything in order to make sure he kept her safe at all costs.
Bianca loved and accepted all of the shadows that were Manic. The drama in this book made it a huge page turner and the steam burned up the pages. I always look forward to the books this author releases and this is one of many I highly recommend.

I loved myself some Manic! This one blew me away, the passion and love is off the charts. Story hooked me from the beginning.

I was ecstatic to read this other part of Manic and Bianca's story. I really liked the continuation from the first part and the twist on the Phantom of the Opera. It really drew me in from the beginning keeping my interest with the details. There was plenty of action, a touch of suspense, danger, vengeance, secrets, truths, and love. I also liked the revelations that happened with a few of them being a bit of a surprise but they helped fill in the blanks to different pieces in the story. The relationship and connection to Bianca is something that I liked because it demonstrates how their lives were tied to one another. These two were perfect for each other like they completed one another as a whole. Overall this was an exceptional read. A definite must read.

Loved it!!!!
Benny and Bianca’s story is simply amazing. What these 2 have to overcome in their lives is heartbreaking. Which makes me love them even more because they DO overcome those obstacles and find a love that is simply perfection.
Lots of twists and turns along with mystery and intrigue and lots of the super spicy good stuff.
I just love this sweet couple. You’ll be cheering them on as they find their HEA. Loved it!!!!

3.5 stars
Benny and Bianca's story is full of love, loss, violence, and revenge. Truly integrated into Maddog's MC, Benny/Manic needs to find his resolution of the past. Bianca is incredibly brave and fights to survive. She and Manic need to be together and to fight for their future.
This was a quick, steamy read, which I read in a few hours. I found the dialogue between the two of them somewhat clichéd and overly macho, and the character development is light, but the book moves the series forward. 💖💖💖💖

Exciting conclusion to Mayhem and Bianca's story. I am loving these paranormal MC romances, they are fast paced, dark and sexy. Well paced plot that picks up where the previous book left off. Characters that continue to develop throughout and terrific worldbuilding. I am looking forward to delving more into this world next year.

Absolutely love the continuation of Benny and Bianca. The phantom and his princess. Benny is seeking retribution for the death of his father and other heinous acts against him. Does he get full retribution against the people who did all this? Do him and Bianca get their HEA?
A must read. Nikki Landis does an awesome job of drawing the readers in.

Excellent book
Wow!! Reckless Mayhem was phenomenal. Benny and Bianca's story was a modern Phantom of the Opera story. Benny's life turned upside down when he was 10 and it never seemed to right itself until he made Bianca his. When he finally claimed her did his world right itself.

My shadow
I absolutely love and adore the work from this author. I found her a little over a year and haven't stopped reading her books.
Manic needs one thing to survive the world, that is Bianca. She is unique when it comes to the shadow warriors and the reapers.

I am loving this Las Vegas chapter of the Royal Bastards. This one was so different with the mafia part and had so many great characters. I love the play on the Phantom of the Opera. So excited for more of Vegas!

Wow, I didn’t want this to end just like the rest of the series. Manic as a ten year old child horrible things happen to him, then he met Bianca, she turned his world up side down forever. I highly recommend this series.

Ok I love me a dark mc and Manic and Bianca’s story gives me all the perfect little pieces of darkness I cave but yet gives me the love we all want
December 4, 2024
Bianca is fifteen and despite her Nonno's demands of showing no emotion, she finally breaks and takes off running through the cemetary to be alone. Today is her father's funeral and besides her Aunt Porcia the only one who she knew loved her wholeheartedly.
But, when she hears her Nonno calling her name she realizes that she isn't alone. There is someone in the shadow of the trees watching her. When she sees the boy covered in burn scars instead of running from him in horror, she grabs his hands and takes him to safety.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is book 2 of the Royal Bastards MC, Las Vegas MC series and although it has its own HEA I highly recommend that you read at least book 1 of this series - which is a spin-off from multiple MC series which are intertwined with recurring characters. But book 1 sets up the commonality for this MC Chapter.
This book is action-packed, full of danger and suspense, smoking hot and has an unexpected paranormal twist. These guys aren't only making a pledge to their MC Club and their pacts are signed in blood.
I've loved everything I've read by Nikki Landis, but Manic's story tears you up from the start with the horrors that he has survived as you cheer on his vengeance. Manic's pain and rage reach through these pages along with his obsessive love for Bianca.
Benny and Binc forever. Highly recommend!

First I recommend you read Manic Mayhem before starting this book. That book explains about Manic and Bianca's past. These two have been through a lot and I was cheering them on to finally get their happily ever after. From the captivating and page turning storyline to the well developed characters, this is a fantastic read. I loved the MC paranormal twist on The Phantom of the Opera. This book has it all unexpected twists, danger, suspense, mystery, heartbreak, and love. I love this series and Nikki Landis's writing and I can't wait to read her next book.

Love the phantom
Nikki Landis has added a other great read to her library. I have always loved the Phantom of the Opera tale. This book is a very good homage to the legend. I fell in love with Benny's character as the phantom. Bianca is perfect as the young innocent Christine character. This book has spice, romance, angst and intrigue. I loved this book and you will too.

Great finish for a phantom's heart.
This story delivered phantom's revenge and rewarded his heart with a beautiful angel. I love these branches of RBMC. The paranormal aspect just adds so much more to the stories. Lucifer needs his own book, I keep asking. Hint, hint Landis. Reckless mayhem adds another layer by introducing a new weapon in Lucifer's arsenal. The Las Vegas chapter is shaping up to offer some intriguing new storylines. So, welcome the New Year and let Landis entertain you.

Great series but struggling with this one
I recommend this series 100%. I've enjoyed every new book and the new series born of this author. The reason I set this a 2 stars is I am STRUGGLING with this book and these two MCs, the MMC is too something and the FMC doesn't really have the depth I was hoping for. Usually the Royal Bastards are a lazy afternoon quick read for me but this particular story I keep putting down. I think I'm on 3rd day trying to get through it. Not sure what it is about them but it's just not working for me. I'll push through the book because there are always details that lead into the whole of the series and the multiverse within the plot. I'll most likely skim through the rest of this book and move onto the next.
I definitely say read it to keep up with the plot but if you're like me and like your FMC with more grit...this one might be a bust.

4.25stars-RECKLESS MAYHEM is the second instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult RBCM: LAS VEGAS NV dark, erotic,paranormal, MC romance series. This is the continuing story of Benezio ‘Benny’ ‘Manic’ De Santo, and twenty-one year old Bianca Huber. RECKLESS MAYHEM can not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of MANIC MAYHEM, a cross over with the author’s RBMC: TONOPAH, the multi-authored RBMC world, and MAYHEM MAKERS worlds.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
SOME BACKGROUND: Years earlier, following the death of her beloved father, Bianca Huber would meet a badly burned and disfigured young man who was in desperate need of help. Taking Benezio to the estate care taker aka mortician, Benezio would find a home and a father figure in Archie Craven but having lost his heart to our story line heroine. Benezio would discover Bianca had been sent away, and he would only find solace five years years later with Bianca’s return
Told from dual first person perspectives (Benny and Bianca) RECKLESS MAYHEM follows in the wake of Bianca’s perceived betrayal by the man that she loves but Bianca will quickly discover the betrayal comes from within the family, a family with deep connections to the criminal underworld. Meanwhile, Benezio ‘Manic’ De Santo is about to come face to face with his future when he is introduced to the president of the RBMC Las Vegas, NV, a future that see his darker side take control. With Bianca a target, Manic will become guardian and protector of the woman he loves, and in doing so, take down the people responsible for destroying both of their lives. What ensues is the building relationship between Manic and Bianca, as Manic and the RBMC Reapers and Shadows, return evil to its’ original master.
The world building is complex and dark. Manic is about to become a part of a world into which he was born, a world that beckons the darker side of humanity, a world where vengeance is reaped upon the souls of the marked.
The relationship between Manic and Bianca is a childhood best friends in which Manic was never good enough for our story line heroine. Bianca has been promised to not one but two potential suitors, men who see Bianca only as a payday, not anything else. Benny De Santo lost everything from his innocence to his sense of worth but meeting Bianca meant everything including a chance at his own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is another large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including the return of Manic’s caretaker Craven, several members of the RBMC Tonapah and Las Vegas MCs including Maddog and Rael, and Lucifer, himself. The requisite evil has many faces.
RECKLESS MAYHEM is a dark, dramatic and emotional story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, greed and obsession, acceptance and love. The premise is gritty and haunting; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are tragic, twisted and determined.

So many twists and turns in this story as Manic is reunited with Bianca, the love between them is forever a combination of intimacy, passion and commitment.

The second book in the Royal Bastards MC: Las Vegas, NV Chapter by Nikki Landis is Reckless Mayhem. It is a paranormal MC with mafia tie-ins and a phantom of the opera vibe. This was an emotional rollercoaster book that was really intense to read, you couldn't help but feel for the characters and root for them to get their vengeance that is owed. Before reading this book you need to read Manic Mayhem which is where this story starts. It is from the Mayhem Makers series and crosses over to the Royal Bastards MC.
Manic knew he messed up when he let Bianca just walk away without putting up a fight for her to stay. While Bianca was saving herself from an enemy Manic was taking the devil's ride because he was offered the chance to switch clubs and become the Las Vegas chapters S.A.A. The only thing now standing in Manic's way of having Bianca is the demons of his past that happen to be her blood. Now with the Royal Bastards and Lucifer himself behind him, it was time to take care of them so Bianca would forever be safe instead of the pawn her grandfather is using for his gain. With his Phantom now a part of him and the Reapers by his side he goes to the Huber estate to take back what is his and Biancas once and for all.
I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I enjoy everything about Manic from his traumatic childhood that turned him into the scarred shadow of the man he is today. His inner strength shines brighter than any darkness he holds inside of him. Bianca is the one who completes him bringing both sides of him together and accepting him for who he is. Nikki is starting this new chapter off with a bang and I can only see it getting better!

Reckless Mayhem is the second book for Manic and Bianca. To understand this book, you will need to read Manic Mayhem first. This book picks up right where Manic Mayhem left off. This book also needs like a million stars. I was chomping at the bit to see what happened after the cliffy. I couldn't put this book down and was a little sad when the book ended. Nikki Landis writes these gritty, original stories that have me hooked. This book is dark and deliciously filled with spice, action, drama, and suspense. Reckless Mayhem is a dark paranormal MC romance with little Phantom of the Opera twists. The characters are complex and have intense chemistry together.
Bianca is still loyal, determined, and the light for Manic. I loved her growth throughout this book. She was starting to open her eyes, and I loved the backbone she was getting. Manic was still intense, determined, and a total Alpha, with a BA new friend. He is the Phantom/Manic/Benny all in one. I loved Manic's darkness; it was vengeance and retribution. Bianca's light was loving and soothing for Manic. Their chemistry is just as hot as it was in Manic Mayhem. It was exciting and spicy. I loved the rollercoaster of emotions that this book had me feeling. My heart broke, and my stomach dropped, but then my heart soared, and I might have shouted "heck yeah" a few times. I was sad when this book came to an end. I need more of Manic and Bianca!!!- Brooke
