Betrayed: Lords of Chaos MC (Road to Carnage Series Book 6) 

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Hell comes in designer suits and with an attitude. The Lords of Chaos MC and the Castiello Family are well aware of the threat that looms over them. They have to tread carefully because the Jade Dragon Triad isn’t to be taken lightly whatsoever.

Demir Balik always stands ready for action as one of the Castiello’s highly-trained assassins. Now that he’s also a member of the Lords, he’s ready to kill anyone who poses a threat to his lover, Wolf, especially the Jade Dragon Triad.

Montgomery William-Price is a man born into money and one of the hottest and most coveted Doms at the Scarlet Letter BDSM club. Unfortunately for him, he’s caught the eye of a young man whom he finds utterly annoying, Ren. If that weren’t enough for him to worry about, his father’s poor business decisions have put their company in financial ruin. On the brink of bankruptcy, he gets an offer that he can’t refuse… not if he wants to live.

Ajay Khanna didn’t plan on getting into a relationship while doing his time in prison. It was supposed to be simple. But, no matter how hard he tried to fight his feelings for the giant, burly, and utterly sexy biker, Tim Davis, he lost. And that would be perfectly fine if only Tim knew who he really was. Can their relationship survive the truth?

Ren Mujin is the youngest son of the Dragonhead of the Jade Dragon Triad, so it goes without saying, that he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “no”. And when he hears it several times from the one man who makes his dreams wet, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He plans to get the sexy Dom at all costs.

Da Han Mujin, Dragonhead of the Jade Dragon Triad, is a man who always gets what he wants. And he wants all of the Chicago territory. That and his gorgeous new bodyguard, Jun De, who is trying to keep their relationship professional. Well, that just won’t do for Da Han.

“The Road to Carnage Series” is an electrifying tale of crime and passion where loyalties and love will be tested. It will take you on an intense ride through the savage and sultry world of the Lords of Chaos. Not for the faint of heart as this series is wild AF. This book is a part of a series where the story evolves as new characters are introduced. HFN/HEA. Not a standalone.

Great story and characters

There is so much to this story I’m not sure I know where to begin.
Monty is trying to save his company that has been in the family for generations. His dad has caused it to have more financial problems than Monty can fix. The solutions are not anything Monty wants.
Ren is the spoiled brat that isn’t happy even when he gets what he wants.
Ajax (Milan) and TT play a big part in this story. Ajax’s life has major changes.
Demir, while involved, seems to just be on the outside of major events…more yet to happen.
Vitra and Da Han are major players but then again naturally since they are incharge characters they have to be involved.
There are many more characters and side events going on so keeping track of all the characters and where they fit sometimes got challenging for me but they are all interconnected.
I was enjoying the story and was to the point I was ignoring all around me when it stopped. It didn’t come to an end but rather got to an intense part and stopped. This caused me frustration.
I really enjoyed the story. The characters can get a little overwhelming to keep track of at times but they all fit together.
The pace of the story moved right along.
Since this is an ongoing story I should have expected the stopping but I wish some of the characters would have been more resolved so I didn’t feel so unsettled. This series is really more episodes rather than each couple or event having a resolution while the overall group continues.
Now I have to wait for the next episode.

Caught Up in Chaos!
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
The publisher's description was accurate for this Road to Carnage continuation in that sultry, sexy, HOT men are caught up in intrigues and tangles reaching beyond surface appearance. There's a few Lords of Chaos (LOC) members in prison doing time and maintaining the LOC dominance in order to survive the dangerous environment of prison. The goings on at the prison are just the tip of the complex weave of relationships, obligations, and love interests Nicholas Bella writes in Book 6 of his Road to Carnage series. This is not a standalone book. However, if you're adventurous in the realm of erotic urban fantasy featuring hot men who are arrogantly sexy and demanding you'll want to start with Bella's first book, Outlawed. This series is never boring, never predictable in the usual MM romance genre, and is always interestingly enticingly arousing, dangerous, dark, and potentially violent.
Book 6 sets the reader up for SO many possible conflicts, outcomes and oh my goodness what the heck is going to happen to the men Bella has made me care about!

If you’ve made it through to this one, just grit your teeth and hang in there. Nick has promised that he’s working on the next one, and I for one, am dying to know what happens next! Nick isn’t kidding when he warns us that this is a serial series.

The Reluctant Retiree

Having fallen way too deep in love with the Castiello’s assassin, Akari Himura, Fabian “Burger” Murphy has to figure out how to get his club to approve his relationship. However, he’s getting pushback from everyone, from his older brother, to his father, telling him that he needs to break up with Akari. Time is running out for him to make his decision. Will he choose the one man in his life he can’t live without? Or the club that has given his very existence meaning?

Nothing and no one is ever out of Makade-Ma’iingan “Wolf” Sanders’ league. The president of the Chicago chapter of the Lords of Chaos has set his sights high, and they have landed on the Right-Hand Man of the Castiello family’s underboss, Demir Balik. Despite all the warnings to stay away, Wolf can’t. He loves the chase, it’s in his blood. But he may have pursued the wrong type of prey this time. Demir is a force of nature and Wolf finds himself in quite the predicament.

Vito “The Vise” Castiello has a lot on his plate right now. The takeover of a major city’s crime business being his biggest priority. However, the minx at his side is changing him little by little, giving him happiness in a way he’d never thought he’d experience. However, things get rocky when his lover, Zindel Esai, plays a game he’s not willing to participate in. Vito is a passionate man and wants what he wants, and that’s to be in control. But can The Vise loosen up just a bit to let his minx love him?

Prison is a lonely place, especially having been behind those walls for nearly five years. It doesn’t help when Tim “Tiny Tim” Davis has to see his club brother and prospect share a love he envies on a daily basis. One day, he gets a new cellmate, someone so stunning, that he leaves Tiny Tim speechless. Immediately, he knows that he wants this man, and has to have him. Luckily for TT, this vulnerable inmate needs someone to protect him, and that’s the hook he uses to reel the new fish in.

Retaliation: Road to Carnage Series Book 4

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Bikers, Mobsters, Blood.

Richard “Richie” Harrison is willing to endure a lot of unspeakable torment at the hands of a prison guard just to keep his boyfriend, Diego “Dragon” Murphy, from making a huge mistake trying to defend his honor. Unfortunately, Dragon discovered his secret and flew into a rage, attacking the correctional officer who is hurting his man. Now, Richie has no idea what might happen next. Will he ever see Dragon again? Will he ever get to tell him his true feelings? Will he ever be able to feel Dragon beside him at least one more time?

Akari Himura follows orders given to him by his boss, Rico Castiello. He doesn’t ask questions and he doesn’t mess around. So, after his boss suffers an injury due to the foolish actions of a rival gang attacking the Lords of Chaos, Rico gives him a specific order. Retaliation. Killing is something Akari excels at. The matter of the heart is a different story. So, when Fabian “Burger” Murphy lets his intentions to make Akari his be known, he doesn’t quite know how to handle the sexy, humongous biker’s advances. Burger is everything he desires but is afraid to pursue. Will he allow the man of his dreams inside his heart, or will he keep him at bay for fear of getting hurt again?

Fabian “Burger” Murphy doesn’t have to convince a person into his bed, they’re drawn to him. Being the Road Captain for the Lords of Chaos MC, getting attention just comes with the lifestyle. However, when he decides to claim the sexy assassin for the Castiello family, he may be in over his head. Still, he’s never given up on anything or anyone he’s wanted before. And he’s not going to let a war with the Hellraiser Knights or his club’s rules get in the way of what he wants now. He wants Akari Himura.

Zindel Esai spends his days paying off the debt he owes a member of the Castiello family, and he does so in the pleasure club the family owns called Desire. When the big boss calls him into his office to give him a new job, he is spellbound. The handsome Italian man sitting behind the desk sparks desires within Zindel that he has no plans of ignoring. He is bold and relentless in his pursuit of Vito “The Vise” Castiello and no declarations from the mobster that he is straight will deter him from getting his man. Because if there’s one thing that Zindel can’t refuse… it’s a challenge.

Enforced: Road to Carnage Series Book 3

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Mafia, Bikers, and Payback.

Fabian “Burger” Murphy is a man loyal to his club and family, which for him are one and the same. He will kill for them. So, when his sister, Sofia, tells him about what happened to their little sister, Gina, regarding her date with Roman Alexander, Burger is ready to spring into action and avenge Gina’s honor. Nobody disrespects a princess of the Lords and lives. All he needs is permission from his club president and father, Niyol “Dasan” Murphy, which Burger knows is a given. Roman is in for one hell of a surprise.

Roman Alexander knows he made the biggest mistake of his life walking away from Gina. She was the first woman he’d ever met that made him feel like he could truly be himself. Around Gina, Roman was vulnerable, and that’s what terrified him. That’s why he left. Unbeknownst to him, it was a move that would lead to two huge, menacing bikers wearing Lords of Chaos MC cuts walking into his office, looking for payback for their princess.

Diego “Dragon” Murphy finally has a man in his life he can give his heart to. His only concern is if Richard “Richie” Harrison would be willing to join the Lords of Chaos MC. If that wasn’t enough for Dragon to worry about, he still had a hit to carry out for a powerful mob boss. With Richie willing to help him, he may just be able to pull it off without a hitch if all goes according to plan.

Vito “The Vise” Castiello is a man others would be stupid to cross, but some still do. And once you’re in his grip, he doesn’t let up until you give him what he wants. When his brother and mob boss, Rico “The Monk” Castiello, tells him to go to Chicago to take over businesses there, he has his concerns. One is their partnership with the Lords of Chaos MC and the other is the triad that already controls the drug game on Chicago’s north side. In the midst of all that, what Vito isn’t prepared for is his powerful attraction to Zindel Esai, the beautiful employee that captured his eye who works in his bordello. For one thing, Zindel is a man and Vito is straight, but he can’t seem to shake his desire, but he knows it will pass…right?

Besides the obvious lure the author weaves together the characters into each others lives in a way that is almost seamless. The story is engaging and makes you want to binge read. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because in the last book my mental image of Ace was changed in one passage. What can I say? I don’t like biker beards. Lol read it. You won’t regret it. It’s not my normal type of book but it will be going forward.

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. Enforced is being out more players as its giving a deeper look at the other characters with business and outsiders dealing within the Lord's.  Was there about to be two more prospects because the past month was just bringing in all the fun and Yummy carnage!  TT is calling out Dragon on his CAKE was so hilarious! Who in their right mind BLEACHES CHICKEN!!

Lockdown was lifted, leaving some of the members on edge. It wasn't a question of how but when the retaliation was coming their way.  Kenshin survived, even coming out the other side with a new and befitting name Ahiga hell week maybe over but the real danger is just starting. Loving the new found sass that Kenshin has, even in his jammies! Oh the Lord's are about to wreck havoc on the scum that broke Gina's heart, only just who is going to win the battle on just which havoc ghost boy is going to receive? Man, Dragon thought he was ready but really wasn't ready for what Richie gave him Dragon's trust only went so far, what would happen if Dragon learnt of Richie's little secret? 
 I mean, I understand where everyone is coming from but Burger is making some serious sense about the whole Castiello deal but it seems he isn't alone when it come to this new job offer.

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021
You ever wanna spank an author? Just saying. !Enforced! Book 3 and can I just say wow! Mr. Bella has done some things. This series is over the top and have loved each book. Enforced full of good stuff, The MC are all kinds of bad, but give family and loyalty a different look.

In this part of the story Gina is heartbroken and her family is about getting justice, no one hurts the Lords' Princess. The good Doctor\s communication skills are lacking but not his attitude, is he ready to tell his story? is she ready to listen?

The Lords are chomping at the bit for the rival MC to make their move, then at the most inopportune time. Let's say... the best-laid plans and all. The MC are getting in bed with the Italian?! Negotiations Daddy D isn't a pushover by any means and an expensive suit and twin bookends bodyguards won't intimate Dasan or his crew.

Then there is Dragon his boy seems to have come into his own, a decision will be made. Dasan pretty much took the choice out of his hands. Now there is a bit of information is it legit? Dragon is just about to find out.

Hold on to your kindles my friends, the MC is coming to you hot and heavy. Enjoy!!

Will Richard’s desire for Dragon lead him down a dark path, one he may find irresistible?

Roman Alexander is a man who enjoys the finer things in life, and Lords of Chaos princess, Gina Murphy, is no exception. The two have been chatting online for over six months and their long-distance relationship has reached volcanic levels of yearning. When Roman flies into town for a medical conference, Gina makes sure nothing will keep them apart, not even a lockdown order from her father and president of the Lords of Chaos.
