Synopsis

When Hailey Harper left her family farm to enroll in veterinary school, she had a plan: keep her head down, ace her classes, and most importantly… don’t upset the uncle paying her tuition. Translation? Don’t piss off his dramatic, self-absorbed daughter, Danica, even if she’s a nightmare to live with.

Falling in love with her cousin’s rock star ex-boyfriend was definitely not part of the plan. 

As the drummer of a now-famous rock band, Mike Madden could have any girl he wants. He’s sweet, funny, romantic, talented—and the only guy that’s ever made Hailey’s heart do cartwheels in her chest. The more she gets to know him, the harder she falls, but Hailey knows they can never be more than friends… because Danica wants him back, and she’ll fight dirty to win.

Mike is falling for Hailey too, but Danica’s threats and his rock star life—music video shoots, international tours, obsessed fans—could tear them apart before they’ve even begun. Hailey isn’t sure she’s the one for him, but Mike’s waited years for a girl like her… and he’ll do anything to prove it.

My Thoughts

I tried to hold off reading the final book of the Mayhem series, but that didn't last long. After finishing book 3, Chaos, I knew that it I would pick up HAVOC sooner rather than later - because Mike uttered one of my favorite lines in CHAOS and I needed to know more about this shy, guiet rock star. I loved reading Hailey and Mike's story and watching them get together - first through friendship and then through the heat of their romance. This story was just too delicious! There were a lot of epic moments, but one of my favorites was when Hailey challenged Mike's drumming skills. This girl is fearless. I've enjoyed reading all of the books of the Mayhem series and each one enhances the one before it. I love how the stories are told from the female point of view and then we get the Epilogue from the male perspective. It's a nice touch!
