♾️⭐️♾️⭐️♾️⭐️♾️⭐️♾️⭐️♾️⭐️ INFINITY STARS!! Ashley Muñoz is an automatic 5-star read. Period. “My Darling Mayhem” is a phenomenal introduction to next-gen characters from her backlist, such as Stone Riders Series and Rake Forge University. GAHHHHH, it’s so dang good! We meet Archer Green & Wren… Both with dark pasts and hidden secrets. We see some previous characters from Rake Forge… with all MANNER of plot twists. The struggles that Wren and Archer go through together are TOUGH and I loved to see how they grew together as a couple to manage them. Sweet Cruz and Kane melted my heart! ❤️ I loved that Wren was a FORCE to be reckoned with in this story! I can’t wait to see where Ashley Muñoz takes us from here! 🤩

Holy Cow! I could not put this book down. Previous book worlds colliding. The spiciest dirty talking MC President. The banter. The growly protectiveness. Adorable kindergartners. Twists that just kept coming. Mind-blowingly good!
Ashley Munoz has created another amazing MC world and Archer and Wren’s story was everything a reader could want to kick start Mayhem Riot. I love Wren’s evolution from protective single mother to Old Lady who has embraced her past and her future.
If you enjoy motorcycle romances or loved Ashley’s Stone Riders or Rake Forge series, this is a must read. But if you’re new to Ashely Muniz or even MC romances, this is still a must read and one you’ll enjoy without having read any other series.

Thanks to Ashley Munoz for a gifted copy of My Darling Mayhem.
My Darling Mayhem is a standalone with connections to the Rake Forge University and Stone Riders MC series. You definitely don’t have to read them beforehand but it was fun seeing the connections!
Ashley keeps killing it with her books. And My Darling Mayhem is no different. I loved it and didn’t want to put it down. I loved Wren and Archer…and Archer definitely screams Jax Teller vibes.
My Darling Mayhem is not short on spice and there’s a lot of action and tense moments too.

4.5/5 ⭐️
Ashley’s writing always captivates me! Archer was not what I expected he blew me away! He is a MC President and the idea of them they are closed off, grunty, and broody. Not archer he wore his heart on his sleeve, he is sensitive, and just someone you fall for instantly. Wren on her own is abating single mother with a past that haunts, but doesn’t let it show to her son. She is guard but when Archer shows up the walls are down. Throw in Archer’s brother melt my heart!!
This is a standalone but I recommend reading the Rake Forge series first because there is overlap and 3/4 of the way through can get a little confusing.
Archer stole the show in the best way!!! One of my favorite quotes from this book : “Beyond stardust and the vast expanse of all the dark layers of this universe, beyond all the precious things that ever existed within this lifetime. She would remain.” This quote embodies Archer so much!!
slow-paced
I’m a sucker for two broken people with tough pasts finding each other…add in the element of suspenseful plot a newly founded fascination for motorcycle club romances=a trifecta for a book I couldn’t put down. Wren, a single mother, finds herself being drawn to Archer, her new neighbor fighting for custody of his young brother and president of a motorcycle club. The chemistry sizzled, the spice heated to burning degrees and the suspense had my heart racing. I coveted all the MC details, adored the doting single parents trope, and was in awe of the way the characters were depicted and their growth. Although this is my first book by this author, it definitely won’t be my last.
I am pleased to have the opportunity from the author to provide an honest review as an arc reader.

This book was my introduction to Ashley Munoz and I am absolutely hooked. The MC world was done so well and the connection between the two characters. This books has made me want to read the author’s entire backlist. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I was so excited to jump back into Ashley’s writing and so grateful for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.
What I Loved:
▪️ The crossover between worlds – Stone Riders MC and Rake Forge University. 😍
▪️ The immediate mystery around Wren’s family from the get-go had me curious what twists there would be. 🤔
▪️ Love a protective MMC and Archer was PROTECTIVE. 🥵
▪️ He braids her hair. That always gets me. 🤩
▪️ Cruz and Kane were just the cutest. 🥹
▪️ The family dynamics – it made me so curious for more information on Kingston and Gio’s stories. 👀
While I enjoyed this story, I think what kept me from rating this one higher was that I just didn’t connect to it as much as I’ve connected to Ashley’s other books. I absolutely DEVOURED the Stone Riders MC books, but this story just felt a bit rushed to me in all aspects — the relationship, the conflict, the spice. But Ashley is one of my auto-buy authors and I’m looking forward to what she has coming down the line!

- single mom
- mc club
- he falls first
- interconnected standalone
- 3.5🌶️
It seems so silly to even question it but I can’t believe she did it again. She made me fall in love all over again.
Archer was perfection and so was Wren. They were just insanely perfect as individuals and together it felt so overwhelmingly amazing. The tension between them and the the chemistry made me want to sit in front of an AC unit for hours.
Plus the kids in this story made this so much more emotional. There were parts of this book where I couldn’t read fast enough because I needed to know what was going to happen.
Plus there’s surprise visits from other characters which makes me so happy.
