I’m about to break the biggest rule of all.RUGERI was sixteen when she was born.The niece of my best friend. An angel with bright blue eyes and hair the color of night.

CHASTITY
For years I’ve crushed on him.
An older man who makes me tremble.
A biker King whose arms I want to get lost in.
Whose body I can only dream about touching.
Whose lips I’m dying to taste.
I shouldn’t want him.
But I do.
I shouldn’t lust after him.
But tell that to my poor hopeless heart.
I should stay away.
But I won’t.
Off Limits is book five in the Kings of Mayhem MC series. It can be read as a standalone.

Chastity was the MC’s little princess. She grew up in the life and for the most part, she loved it… except for the fact that she couldn’t catch a proper man or lose her virginity no matter how hard she tried! After a plumbing mishap in her apartment, she needs a temporary place to stay and Ruger has no problem offering her a room. She’s cool with it because he’s her crush and she can peep him at her convenience. He’s cool with it because she’s family and he’d do anything for his family. Besides, there’s a ‘DO NOT TOUCH rule’ around Chastity, meaning no club members can seek her out. No problem. Right? WRONG!! Pretty soon, Ruger sees Chastity as the incredibly beautiful woman she is and although he fights the pull hard, their chemistry made them inevitable and he finally stops resisting. They were so sexy and dirty together and I loved how the author developed their relationship.
From the cover to the blurb to the trope… Penny Dee nailed this story! If you love age gap stories as much as I do, the dirtier the better, you’re gonna love this book!
This was such a good age-gap forbidden mc book. I loved that there was the age gap and that the FMC was also the niece of the Prez who was also the MMC’s brother-in-law. Such a fun forbidden aspect. Loved it. I really enjoyed the angst, push and pull. It was perfection. I could feel Ruger’s anguish in wanting Chastity when he knew that he shouldn’t. I loved that Chastity knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to go after it. And I loved that she wasn’t afraid to put Ruger in in place either. They are just perfect. So good. I am in love with the Kings of Mayhem.
I’m a sucker for an age gap romance, so the moment I read the blurb I was all in. I didn’t realize what a deliciously fun ride it would be! Ruger, it’s a sexy beast with depth and a sensitive side, well if you’re Chastity. When her apartment floods and she looks for a place to stay, she winds up at Ruger’s. Bff to her uncle, she knows she’ll have safety and a bit of freedom. Freedom is hard to come by when you’re an M.C. Princess. A fact that’s left her lacking dates, and still holding on to her V-card, though she’s trying to change that. She never expected to fall head first into lust and more with the older man who’s been there her entire life.
Ruger never wanted love or commitment. Not after seeing how it ruined people first hand with his parents. He’d tried to do a committed thing, but she’d been bat shit crazy. Things ended permanently when she took a bat to his hand and broke his thumb. He figured it was better to be alone. Being solo suited him just fine, until the young, vivacious girl with the wicked curves, and bright spirit showed him what he was missing.
Get ready for drama, push and pull, and fools in love floating down the river of DENIA
Off Limits
Off Limits is amazing, you get everything you’d want in a book. Especially when it’s an age gap romance those are my absolute favorite to read. Rugger and Chasity were definitely made for each other
I love the strong women that Penny Dee writes and it’s no different in this book. Chastity has grown up in the MC so growing up around her brothers and her “uncles” of sorts has made her in to a strong independent woman that can do things on her own. One of the guys that she has grown up around is Ruger– what started out as a completely platonic relationship because of their age gap turns in to an unknown mutual attraction that can’t be denied when Chastity grows in to her own. Big age gaps when the two characters grow up knowing each other can be creepy to some (I personally love them but I know they’re not for everyone), but the way it was written the transition of their relationship isn’t any of that. It progresses naturally and it isn’t something that either character jumps in to without thinking it through. From the get go there is push and pull because of how Chastity is off limits to all the brothers, but when a girl knows what she wants a girl knows what she wants! How far will they both go to be with the one that they want though? I think this is a great addition to the series and can’t wait to read more!
Side note– I thought with how the book started with a flashback that there would be a lot more, which can be tricky to successfully have a smooth story with all the transitions, but there wasn’t. BUT I absolutely adored how it all came back around by the end of the book. It absolutely put a huge smile on my face.
3.5-4 Stars
“I knew then that this was going to happen. That we were about to break all the rules. And that when we did, there would be no turning back.“
Ok… this book was worth sticking it out with this series. I’m starting to feel these characters in this MC club. The first 2 books were not for me. I wanted to give up. But I had already bought all the book leading up to this book. So I was committed to seeing this series through. Biker baby (book 3) my heart started to warm up to these characters. Hell on Wheels (book 4) I still felt the same. But this book. I really, really liked Ruger & Chastity.
Ruger was 16… almost 17 years older than Chastity. He was way more settled then a younger guys in the MC. He was done with sleeping around. He was at the stage of life where he wanted something different. Chastity was a surprise and an eye opener for him. He didn’t know he needed her until she moved into his house and showed him what it was like to be around someone on a whole different level.
“I was old school. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve popped a few cherries in my lifetime, but in my youth, not as a thirty-nine-year-old man to a woman almost seventeen years my junior.”
Chastity had to break down Rugers walls. First off… she had to get him past her being untouchable. Since she was the niece of the president of the MC. Ruger knew he couldn’t be with her. Then you have Chastity 3 brothers. Throw in the fact that Ruger was Bull’s best friend and he was crossing some major lines with all that. He was struggling with his feelings.
But Chastity wasn’t giving up on what she wanted and what she knew he wanted.
“I don’t want you because of how old you are, or what you are, I want you because of who you are. Age shouldn’t matter. And it doesn’t, not to me.”
I wasn’t feeling the whole Astrid thing. I certainly thought Chastity should’ve put a little more fight with Ruger when he came back. But overall I’m happy how things turned out. The surprise drama close to the end of the book caught me by surprise! I couldn’t believe it. I’m glad it all was ok. But man… I was upset!
I’m really looking forward to reading Bull’s story next! We find out a little more a out him in this book. Now I really can’t wait to get into his story.

This was book 5 in the “Kings of Mayhem” series. Chastity has known Ruger her whole life her uncle Bull was married to his sister. Chastity grew up in the MC life her grandfather started the club her was president when he died and she is the little sister of Chance Cade and Caleb Calley. Chastity has always had a crush on Ruger who is 16 years older than her. After returning home from college after a break up she is working her way through school when a pipe bust in her apartment so she moves in with Ruger. The club is also dealing with someone trying to move drugs in their town and they are not having it. This was a good read Ruger knows that he can’t get involved with her but after one kiss he tells her that she needs to date someone her own age and she does. When these two begin having sex Ruger knows he has to tell her uncle Bull he is president and has a rule about touching her. Ruger is dealing with a lot the club business and when his ex shows up pregnant it adds fuel to the fire. This was a good read that I liked a lot. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading about Bull and I hope that the author writes about Maverick
What an engrossing read!
I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy this story as large age gaps don’t appeal to me but boy I’m glad I was wrong! Ruger and Chastity have much to overcome, not least her uncle and three older brothers!
Well worth a read, I’m off to get the rest of the series now!
This series just gets better with every additional book. I’m sad because I’ve finally hit the end. The next book won’t be out until end of August. It’s only the beginning of January! Noooooooooo!! All jokes aside, this series is great. I like it very much.
Penny Dee has quickly become one of my favorite authors, and it all started with the Kings of Mayhem MC series. This had just the right amount of anger, lust, and love. The characters carry over in the series, so it’s best to start with book 1. This one is about Ruger and Chastity. Their secret love for each other, and the opinions of others can either make or break them, but they won’t give up on their bond. I highly recommend this book, and the rest of the series. You’ll have a love/ hate relationship with the Kings, and the women who love them. *I was given an ARC in return for an honest review*
Off Limits by Penny Dee is the fifth book her Kings of Mayhem MC series. This book can be read as a standalone within the series but the other books are wonderful too so I recommend reading them all and going in order to fully follow the background plot of the MC, their clean town, and their enemies which are all leading up to Bull’s story in Bull. Told in dual POV between Chastity and Ruger, this is a fabulous age-gap story that will leave you rooting for them to become an official item and not cringing at the age difference. With a good deal of drama, a revisit of couples from past books and some steamy interactions, this book was awesome. The chemistry AND the tension between these two was palpable and I couldn’t put it down. Enjoy!
I received an ARC of this from Give Me Books PR on behalf of the author for review. All opinions are my own and haven’t been infulenced.
This might be my favourite of the series so far. Mostly because I’m most drawn to the age gap trope. It’s a solid fave of mine This was done really well when it could have been considered a lil creepy. It wasn’t to me. Well written and now the wait for Bull is ON.
***3 Stars***
Overall, I liked the book. I liked getting to hang out with the Kings and their Queens. The issue they are dealing with was done well, but I felt like I needed a little more when it came to Ruger and Chastity. This isn’t to say that I didn’t like them, or that I had any issues with them getting their HEA, but I needed a little more time with them to feel that deeper, I’m all in, you’re my ride or die connection between them.
As I said, I liked Ruger and Chastitiy. Ruger is loyal, solid and a good man. Chastity is sweet, sassy and working at figuring out just what she wants for her future. Their journey to their HEA was, for the most part, enjoyable. It was slow burn with a heavy dose of push/pull due to the age gap thing and loyalty to the MC Prez thing, there was also a dash of outside drama that I got, but could have done without. But I did like Chas and Ruger together. They had a flow that I enjoyed, and though I was happy with how they got their HEA, I could have used more time with them solidifying this new twist to their relationship.
Outside of the romance side of things, I loved getting to hang out with the Kings and their Queens and everyone in between. And I will say that while Bull’s reaction was extreme, I loved how Chastity’s brothers and mom handled finding out who she gave her heart to. And speaking of Bull, he’s the one that’s intrigued me from the start of the series and I cannot wait to get my hands on book!

I was completely drawn into the blurb of Off Limits by Penny Dee and I am so glad I decided it to read it. It is part of a series, but the first I read and did not feel lost, however, I do want to read more of it soon! This was a forbidden romance with an age gap and was everything you expect from a MC story.
Chastity was raised as part of the Kings of Mayhem MC and was for all purposes their princess. She was strong and determined but also forbidden. Ruger is sixteen years her senior and has watched her grow up. But she is a woman now and their chemistry is undeniable, even if he tries to deny it at every turn. How will it all end? Let me tell you, you definitely want to read and find out!

Happy reading!
Penny Dee puts two people together who shouldn’t work, but they do. This is a motorcycle romance dealing with an older man falling for a younger woman. These two unlikely people fall in love and are so happy together, they don’t care what anyone thinks.
Chastity is the niece of the president of the Kings of Mayhem motorcycle club and is considered the MC princess. She rarely dates because her uncle and brothers let everyone know she is off limits. However, when Chastity stays with Ruger after there is a flood in her apartment, a simmering attraction heats up between them. Ruger knows he should stay away from Chastity, but he can’t seem to fight his feelings for her. Ruger knows he is too old for Chastity and her uncle, his best friend, would never forgive him for getting involved with her.
Ruger is a good guy underneath his bad boy persona. He cares about Chastity and she brings out his kind and protective nature. While Ruger tries to fight his attraction, Chastity pushes his buttons and after a while, he can’t think straight. Chasity is young, sweet and inexperienced and she isn’t afraid to show how she feels. I admired her confidence; she isn’t afraid of the consequences, because she knows what she wants. I loved these two together and all their interactions.
I have never really understood the motorcycle/biker troupe until I read this book. The fierceness and loyalty that they have for each other, blood or not, and the love they show their spouses is second to none. This was the story of Chastity and Ruger. Ruger is 16 years older then Chastity and knows that with her Uncle being the president of the Kings, along with his best friend, she was off limits but he was starting to think about her more and more. Lucky for both of them Chastity’s apartment flooded and she needed to find temporary living quarters for the time being. Ruger invited her to live with him and she never left. Chastity was 22 and a virgin and wanted to rectify that situation. Men were scared of who her family were so they were not beating down the door necessarily for that honor. This book had the right amount of drama and romance and was the perfect slow burn.
Thank you to netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

When I found out about this book, I was both intrigued and skeptical about it. Intrigued because the blurb was so interesting and skeptical because I haven’t read and actually like many age gap romances. However, I’m so pleased that my skepticism was wrong, and I really enjoyed reading this book!!
The book was fire. It has the right amount of drama, action, sexiness and badassness to keep you at the edge of your seat wanting more. It’s been a while since I finished a book in one sitting and fell the urge to review it! The Mayhem bikers were exactly what I needed!! Chastity and Ruger are so forbiddingly perfect for each other. What made me love the story even more, was how the emotions and chemistry was pouring through the pages. I was right there with them feeling both the passion and the devastation.
“Off Limits” was my first book by Penny Dee. I love a good MC romance and after finishing this one, I came to the conclusion that I like how the author is writing them!! Safe to say that I’ll be diving into more books by the author!!
If you are a sucker for some hot bikers with a heart of gold, then give this book a chance; you won’t regret it!!!
4.5 Stars
This is book 5 in the Kings of Mayhem MC series and it features Ruger and Chastity. Let me start off with part of chapter 2 and all of chapter 3 were so emotional and brought tears to my eyes. It shows, deep down, the kind of amazing man Ruger really is. These two struggled with ex-girlfriend drama and drama in regards to their 16 year age difference but the connection these two have is inspiring. Their love is beautiful, amazingly sexy and the heat between them burns like an inferno. When your soul connects with another like theirs have, age really is just a number.
This is another fantastic story in this MC world with the usual fabulous characters. I am super excited to see who gets their story told next.
**I received a copy of Off Limits from Net Galley and the author in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. **
Off Limits by Penny Dee is the fifth book in her Kings of Mayhem MC series this is Ruger and Chastity’s story. I have to agree that while Ruger had a issue with the MC princess, older man vs younger lady in the end this is a very good book plus the ending was very sweet and I enjoyed it. So I’m giving this a 4.5 stars rating and hope there will be more Kings stories in the future.
Chastity has always felt that Ruger was someone special but being a MC princess has it’s big draw backs especially given the order by her uncle that “Touch her and die”. But when her home needs work he offers to let her stay with him. So when he rescues her from a date who doesn’t understand No she tries to let Ruger know her feelings he won’t listen. So through most of the story it goes back and forth but in the end when a local drug lord tries to sell his product in town it’ll be the Kings who’ll show them the door and Ruger will rescue Chastity from her kidnapper.
Ruger is the Kings sergeant-at-arms loves his home where he can relax from the day but with too much quiet he’s not listening to the ache in his heart that needs to be loved. So when Chastity moves in he struggles with the feelings he has for her but when they finally give in they feel a love for each other. But when an old girl friend shows both Ruger and Chastity will have to chose what is right even if it breaks someones heart. Can he make the right choices even when it’s wrong?
Four and a Half Stars
You should know that I love (and in no particular order):
*MC books
*Older man/younger woman couples
*Forbidden romance reads
“Off Limits” by Penny Dee encompasses all three of my favorite things! This book had me reeled in from page 1. I could not put it down until I finished it. Chastity is a biker princess, she is loved and protected by her uncle the Club’s Pres and loves to hate what that means for her sad sorry dating life. Ruger is the club’s enforcer, best friends with the Pres and sexy as sin. Unable to deny the off the charts chemistry between them, Chastity and Ruger give into it and it.is.glorious! TBR this hot and sexy read and enjoy. (I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.)
