Review by Erin
OMG! LOVED IT! This story has it all. There is some drama between Rowan and her ex. There is humor. There are great friendships being built. There is uncertainty. There are bitchy groupies. And there is steamy love. I loved the group dynamic when Rowan meets the band. I really liked the way the main characters relationship progressed. This story had everything I look for in a rocker romance. I wish all the best for this up and coming author and can't wait to see where this series will go!

Review by Cristina
Rowan Michaels did not realized that she was talking to a rock star when Adam Everest walked up to the front of the line to get into a club that he is performing at. On the same night and club she catches her boyfriend supposedly away on a business trip with another girl and lost it.
Heading outside to be alone with what she had just witnessed is where she then again runs into Adam who gives her some comfort and ends up sharing a kiss with him that she will never forgets. Apparently Peach (a.k.a Rowan) is what Adam always thinks about since that encounter and had hope for more after their band’s performance that night but ends up getting stood up.
I enjoyed this 4 stars debut novel by this author. Although the used of “Adam Freaking Everest” was used a bit much, the feels of frustrations, tension, and holding back from being something more than just another rock star love story giving into their wants. Intrigued? Pick up Rowan and Adam's story today!

Review by Fidah
Mayhem is the first book in the Mayhem
series. It follows the perspective of Rowan who is a college freshman whom
recently broke up with her boyfriend of three years. Through certain incidents,
she finds herself tutoring Adam Everest.
The book was so much fun to read. I really
liked Rowan as a character. She was so adorable and awkward, which makes her so
much more lovable. She was such a sweet and fun character. I really liked
seeing her develop throughout the book. I could definitely relate to her. On
the other hand, Adam is a player but he does have his good side. He’s a nice
and sweet guy. I really liked this couple. They do have their rough moments and
quite frankly, moments where they deserve a wake up call, but I liked seeing their
relationship progress and develop.
If you’re looking for something light and
fluffy with sexy scenes, then you should definitely pick this book up. It has
likeable characters and an easy storyline. It didn’t blew me away but it was
quite enjoyable.

Excerpt: "When the door opens behind me, I sit up straight and hurriedly sniff in my tears as I wipe my shaking fingers across my slippery cheeks. I hear the flick of a lighter, and then someone sits down next to me on the stairs, puffing a cigarette. When I look over at him, I nearly choke. He gazes back at me, starting at my hot-pink heels and then raking his way up, and then he chuckles. “Are they letting people in yet?” Adam. He’s ditched the shades and cap, and now his dark brown hair is framing his gorgeous face, stretching almost to his chin. I look away quickly, hoping he can’t tell I’ve been crying. “Sorry about that,” I say. And I hear the hoarse sadness in my voice, but I couldn’t keep it out. When he reaches over and brushes my tangled hair away from my eyes, I tense. “Is everything okay?” he asks, and I half laugh. No, everything is not okay. “Everything’s fine.” “Then why have you been crying?” “No reason.” “You get all dolled up to sit outside of rock shows crying by yourself?” I lift my gaze to stare into his eyes, and something in them makes me believe he really cares. Or maybe that’s just what I want to see, but I suddenly need to tell someone. “My boyfriend’s in there.” “And?" “With another girl. I just caught him cheating.” Adam takes a deep puff of his cigarette, nodding as he sighs it back out. “Want me to fuck him up?” I laugh, and he smiles at me. “Would you?” “If you want me to.” “Why?” He shrugs. “Because I offered.” “Why’d you offer?” “Who knows why I do anything I do?” He stares at me while I wait for an answer. “I just do.” That’s a good enough explanation for me, so I look back to my knees again, letting out a shaky breath. I can’t believe I just laughed. At a time like this, Adam Everest made me laugh. “Anyway, your boyfriend is a dumbass,” he says out of nowhere. “How do you know?” His gray-green eyes wash over me. “Look at you.” I blush like hell, but I know he’s just trying to make me feel better. “You thought I was an idiot when you first saw me.” Adam chuckles and shakes his head. “I thought you were cute as a peach.” His lips hold the cigarette in his mouth as he stands up, holding a hand down to me. My heart stops; Adam Everest is offering me his hand. In faded denim jeans, all torn up at the knees, and a fit olive-green button-down rolled up to his elbows, he makes my heart race to a nonexistent finish line. “Come on, Peach.” I take his hand, and he lifts me to my feet, leading me away from the building. “Where are we going?” “To get you a drink. I think you need one.” “I’ve had a few,” I think out loud, slowing to a stop. Adam gazes over his shoulder at me, his eyebrow cocked when he asks, “Are you saying you don’t want another?” I take a moment to consider his question. Just a moment, and then I keep walking." --Jamie Shaw, Mayhem
