Until Mayhem: A Hyde Crossover Novella (Court of Mayhem) Paperback – April 23, 2019

So of course before I start my review I have to say thank you to the always amazing Layla Frost. She was dope enough to let me “minterview” her for my Feature Friday post(check it out if you haven’t) and she has always been beyond cool. Not everyone gets the chance to receive an ARC and I was one of those lucky ones. So just in case you haven’t heard it enough from me lately, thank you “ALotta Wild ... Miss Wild cuz I’m nasty”, you totally rock my socks! lolNow, on to the good stuff …From magicks to motorcycles, Layla always knocks it out of the park. And Until Mayhem is no exception. She is never lacking in the alpha department and right behind them, or in front—all sexual innuendo implied—is a smart mouth and sassy heroine waiting to tear stuff up. You don’t believe me? Well, let’s take a closer look at the Psycho and his Princess shall we?Set with her shopping list in hand, all Ophelia needed was to grab a few things and head home. Little did she know those plans would drastically change once she got to the grocery store. And by drastically, I mean holy biker hotness.Heading to the store with his brothers wasn’t suppose to turn out the way it did, but Judge can’t say that he’s upset about it, especially when he spots what looks to be his next adventure. Not sure if he can trust her intentions just yet, he goes complete off script. But he’s certain that when it’s all said and done, he can turn his hostile hostage into a willing captive; just like the psycho she thinks he is.As soon as I started Ophelia and Judge’s story I was hooked, lined and sunk. I mean, one minute we’re in a grocery store parking lot and the next we’re in the back of a van and on our way to a compound. There was never a lack of excitement and there never a lull in their story, but most importantly their story was complete. It wasn’t all excitement or all sadness or all sex, it was through and through, a Layla Frost story. She gives you the visual aspect of being able to picture scenes, which I always appreciate in her writing and with that seems to be the ability to hear the characters as they speak. Or in Judge’s case grunt. Now, I don’t know about you, but hearing Judge grunt while doing the nasty is definite spank bank material. Speaking of spanking, let’s stay on sex for a bit, because these scenes were blazing hot! I’m talking melt your panties off or leave them at the door kind of hot!!! Or how about don’t even waste your time wearing any, kind of hot. Judge just rips them off anyway.Any who, unpopular opinion, Ophelia was the psycho first because she was stalking Judge around the grocery store. Don’t at me bro, yes I said it! She’s just mad she got caught and was a bad crap talker and was called out on it. I mean, all in all, it landed her it an awesome position, or positions—more sexual innuendo implied.Overall, Until Mayhem was too much fun. It was captivating and a total page turner. There was a lot of ego, but more compassion and when alpha and heroine clash, it makes for the best type BOOM! I was thrilled I got to hear from my favorite Irishman, Nox and my favorite Mayson, Nico. And I am super excited to see where these sexy as heck bikers take me next. If you have to grab yourself a copy, I have no idea what you’re waiting for but a copy NOW!!!!-Eb <3

Judge & Ophelia: triggers: kidnapping, stalking, drugs, assault. This book was pretty good but not my favorite on the series. I have to say that Layla Frost is so far the only author writing for the HEA series that mostly keeps up with the main plot of the series from ARR. the main characters have some serious chemistry but it is an insta romance built from an inappropriate situation. There are some funny moments but some really hot and scary moments. I wish there was more detail about how and why Ophelia was targeted. I think her patients would have made for an amazing read.

“Holy. Biker. Hotness.” I can’t describe this book any better than the author’s own words. I swear every book she writes get better and each one becomes my new favorite. I suspect Judge and Ophelia are going to ride the top spot as favorite hero and heroine for a while as well. It’s a tough call between them and Nox and Gus.Ophelia never suspected that eyeing a couple of biker hotties at the local grocery store would lead to anything other than a moment of embarrassment. She certainly never expected it was going to change her life forever. When her biker hunger gets her into a whole lot of trouble she finds herself tossed upside down, turned inside out and completely in the dark, literally, as to what the heck is going on.Judge saw her from the very first moment he pulled into the parking lot and even if his suspicions did play a part in his actions, it was what he would eventually learn was the “boom” that escalated his determination to make her his. Her sassy attitude and take no prisoners outlook solidified the deal for him. He was a goner and no one, not even her, was going to take her away from him.There is nothing I love more than a possessive, dirty talking, alpha hero and holy heck, Judge is all that and more. With a bit of biker slang, sexy smiles, and cocky assurance, he not only won Ophelia over, he won me as well.I loved that even as he was all about protecting Ophelia, he didn’t run roughshod over her. Their relationship is laced with a wonderful mature humor that is sharp and smart, giving additional depth to the story. Ophelia was sweet and sassy and more than enough to stand up to a big bad tattooed biker dude. I laughed as she kept him on his toes even as he wanted to put her on her back, or against the wall.I thought this was going to be a novella, but was pleasantly surprised when it was not. It is still a fast paced read and never slowed down. There is a bit of drama but it doesn’t really run the story although the club as well as Nox trying to stop a bad guy does add a bit of interest and potential danger. With so much goodness coming from various avenues, I couldn’t get enough of this book and was disappointed that it ended. I was hoping for a bit of a resolution about that bad guy but I suspect it will follow through in what we’ve been promised is Lars’ story.I highly recommend this book to any and everyone who enjoys a steamy romance with a bit of a slow burn (yes slow, despite that “boom”) with an unforgettable alpha hero and smart heroine. This is one of those that you can sit back and enjoy but will need to block out plenty of time to do so because once you start, you won’t want to stop.

This is part of the Until books under Aurora Rose Reynold's World by Layla Frost. It is also a crossover from one of Layla's other series.The Boom! It's real and this was a sexy as hell rendition from a brand new to me author Layla Frost. After a lot of great word of mouth I decided to give this book and author a try.... so freaking happy I did.The book tells the story of Judge and Ophelia and how quickly the boom takes over. The story was so well written that I could not put it down. I'm a self proclaimed queen of short reads, and I will not pick up a book over 100 pages unless it is worth it. This book was so divine.The story was so greatly written, the characters drew you in.from page one and Ophelia was such a badass! I often find heroines as secondary characters because there's no depth to them, but she stole the show.Judge was right there with her and I love a psycho! I have found a new favorite author and these are the books that make me happy to have taken a chance on something new. I'm obsessed. I recommend this book to everyone!!This is also now on my top MC books of 2019! Can this have 100 stars? No? Fine 5 stars indeed!

Someone send me to the burn unit because this book was hot af.Loved their intensity and passion and utter loyalty.Loved the wholesomeness and pushing stereotypes.Love a badass FMC that is just as possessive as the MMC, and who can stand up for herself

I can't even say how much i loved this book. The unique writting and the great story, the h/H. Everything was perfect.

SO MUCH FREAKING YES!!!!!!As far as I am concerned Layla can do no wrong, like, her books are the perfect balance for me.There's a kickbutt, alpha, biker hero who knows what he wants and a heroine who literally inspires me to the next level. I love that the Hyde family is involved as well as Nox and his boys and it all just makes me so freaking happy.The story line is epic and Layla's writing style ensues that from the second I read the first page I could not put it down. This book has it all from witty one liners that will have you laughing and some seriously swoon worthy moment that meant you might need a change of knickers..lol.Every time Layla brings us a new couple, I don't think I could love them more but then, she goes and proves me wrong again. Her writing is growing from strength to strength and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next.This is my honest and unbiased review.

Absolutely loved Judge and O’s story ❤️❤️❤️ love Layla’s writing style. I always get a laugh and she tells a great story. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed the book and the characters.Some parts made me laugh.I did think that considering Ophelia was kidnapped she took it extremely calmly.I have unfortunately read these books out of order. I hope there will be more in the series.
