Brothers in Arms is the second book in the Kings of Mayhem MC series by author Penny Dee. This series has a continuing storyline, so it’s best to read the books in order. So you are aware, there is a third book in the series, so expect this one to end with a cliffhanger as well.
Brothers in Arms begins where we were left off with a devastated Cade. Indy is doing her best to help her man not spiral out of control. The Kings are angry about the events that have occurred in the first book, and they want answers! A lot was going on within the story, but it was not overwhelming for the reader. The drama is fast-paced, and I was hooked from the very first page. The sex scenes were steamy, and I had a hard time putting the book down.
Loved this book, can’t wait for the next in the series!

When I
opened my eyes, the door to the bathroom opened and Cade stepped in, his face
and hair soaked with rain.
I watched
him pull his shirt over his head, remove his boots, and the rest of his
clothes. When he was completely naked, he stepped into the shower, and without
a word, took me in his arms and pressed his mouth to mine. My body immediately
responded and I melted against him, seeking comfort and pleasure in his hard
body as it commanded me backwards until my back was against the wet, tiled
wall. His big hands moved up to my face while his mouth moved fiercely over
mine until his kiss left me breathless.
But his
kiss petered out as his emotion overtook him. I looked up into his tormented
face. Pain and grief were like shadows in his eyes. His face was stiff and I
could feel his heartbreak radiating from him with every beat of his heart. He
dropped his forehead to mine.
“I don’t know how to do this,” he said, his
voice deep and strong, but at the same time, pained and heartbroken.
“It’s going
to be okay,” I whispered.
He drew in
a deep breath, his hooded eyes fixed to mine. “I don’t know what I would do if
I lost you . . .” His voice broke and his thumbs found the slick skin of my
lower lip, his eyes intensely focused on it. I had only seen Cade cry once.
When he was eighteen and he’d ridden all the way to Seattle to beg me to come
back to him after we had broken up. Otherwise, he was fiercely stoic. But now,
standing in the steam, he was barely in control.
“I’m not
going anywhere,” I replied.
His anguish
was deep. I watched him squeeze his eyes shut and felt the slow exhale of
breath as he opened them again. Droplets of water fell in rivulets down his
beautiful face and dripped onto his parted lips.
His brows
drew together.
“It hurts,”
he whispered.
I nodded.
“I know.”
He tried to
kiss me but his lips trembled against mine and he pulled away. He slapped his
palms against the tiled wall and took a moment. Water poured over his head and
down his broad, muscular back. His face crumpled and he slowly sank to his
knees, burying his face in my stomach.

When
a King loves
He
loves hard
CADE
I’ve loved her since we were five years old.
We grew up side by side.
Two kids tied together by the Kings of Mayhem
Motorcycle Club.
But I broke us.
I broke her.
So, she fled.
Now she’s back after twelve long years.
And I’m going to show her all the reasons why
we should be together and make her forget all the reasons why we shouldn’t.
INDY
I’m back in town but only because I have to
be.
I’m here to help my mom bury my father.
And the sooner we get it done, the better.
Because I want to see Cade as much as I want a
hole in the head.
He broke me once—no, he broke my everything—
and I’ll be damned if I’ll let him do it again.
Get in and get out. That is the plan.
But you know what they say about best-laid
plans.

I just love MC romances, and I tend to get a craving if I haven’t read one in a while. I love all types of romances, but give me a naughty, dirty-talking, alpha male biker, and I’m a happy woman! Kings of Mayhem is a second chance MC romance by Penny Dee, and it’s the first book in a new series called Kings of Mayhem. This story is filled with drama, angst, and some steamy scenes!
Kings of Mayhem tells the story of Cade and Indy. They have known each other since they were five years old and were living next to each other. As they grew up, they became best friends and grew up falling in love. I understand some reviewers had an issue with Cade, but I think they forgot that there were other circumstances to that scene. I am not able to go into a full discussion about it without spoiling it, so I am going to be as general as I can. So, I think Cade was thrown under the bus, and I think Indy was a little too unforgiving.
Either way, whichever side you are on, Kings of Mayhem is a great story! I enjoyed how the story ended and can’t wait to read the next in the series!
