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.

Woohee! This is my first book by this author and boy, was it a scorcher. If you don’t mind the age difference between Ruger and Chastity, then prepare for a steamy, adventurous read. Chastity, on the whole, was a decent character. Maybe because of her age, I found her insecurities annoying. Ruger was a dreamy, alpha male whose history was going to inevitably cause trouble. But everything works out in the end for their HEA. Looking forward to Bull’s story and catching up with the previous books in this series.
I received a free copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.
I am not always in love with stories about older men, younger women because frankly most of them are a bit creepy to me. This is NOT one of those types of stories. The age difference is a definite factor in the story but the love and compassion are much more important. Ruger is a good guy caught in the arms of love but also has a side that says maybe he should back away from his feelings. He is torn between his friend Bull and Chastity. The natural progression of the love story is beautiful. There is some angst (which I do love) and I was worried what would happen but in the end all worked out. Ms. Dee threw me for a loop at the end of the story and all I can say is have a hankie ready.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
Steamy and suspenseful addition to the Kings of Mayhem MC series. I was engaged from start to finish. Loved the buildup to Ruger and Chastity finally finding their way to each other. Can’t wait to see where this series goes next. I voluntarily reviewed a provided copy.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely will not be the last. This book was written in 2 POV, the female main character Chasity, and the alpha male character Ruger. This is an MC book, but it was not as dark as most are. Ruger was 16 years old when Chasity was born, so she was obviously raised as an MC princess, and everyone was warned to stay away from her. Chasity is twenty two in most of the book besides a couple flash backs. Chasity is very inexperienced with anything to do with dating. Chasity has had it bad for Ruger for a long time. She finally goes for it with Ruger, but he has a lot of push back. He is very attracted to Chasity and then starts to really like her. After some drama from Ruger’s past he decides he does not care what anyone thinks and goes for it. I loved their chemistry through out the book, and there was some super hot steamy scenes. It was so good I finished in two days.
Ruger fights against everything in him but how can you fight what your heart wants, especially when Chastity feels the same way. Their love may divide the MC and destroy a friendship that has span the test of time and family. I loved this story and I loved how strong Ruger was. I love this series so much and I can’t wait for Bull to get his story.
The final story from this group of siblings! I was so excited to get to know Chastity after reading the books about her brothers and how they fell in love. In those books, we didn’t get much information about her, and I was interested to see how she fell being a girl in a MC world. In true Penny fashion, this book is packed with suspense and questions that keep you guessing! After a failed relationship causing the change of her college plans, Chastity has given up on dating between the affiliation with the MC and her brothers. She has had the biggest crush on her uncle’s best friend, Ruger, also part of the MC, since childhood and that crush has only grown and developed since and as an adult, she decides to finally shoot her shot after the possibility that Ruger feels the same way. Ruger has always had a special place in his heart for Chastity, especially after the death of his own sister, but has always stayed away due to the age difference. Finally giving into the chemistry and feelings he’s developed as Chastity has grown into adulthood, the pair know things will blow up once their relationship comes out in the open. Combined with another surprise from Ruger’s past, it was another great read from this MC and this family, and I can’t wait to see who is next in this series since Penny is out of siblings from this family!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
What can I say I love this series.
Growing up Cassidy had always had a crush on Ruger,but being the Princess of the Kings Of Mayhem she was a no go zone for any of the brothers no matter who they were and what age they were.
Ruger had a special spot in his heart for her,and as she grew up she was turning into a beautiful woman but still off limits. That was until fate through them together and all bets are off
Wow. I love Penny Dee. Her King of Mayhem series is amazing. I have to say out of the ones that I have read this one is my favorite. There was just something about this one. I loved the storyline and the characters. Chastity has had a crush on Ruger who is the sergeant-at-arms for the Kings of Mayhems her uncle’s MC for a long time. But there is a big age difference between the two of them. But that doesn’t stop Chastity and how she feels. Her apartment ends up getting flooded and she needs a place to stay so Ruger suggests that she stay with him not knowing how she feels for him. But while she is staying with him Ruger realizes that he has feelings for her as well. But will he be able to act on them? Will he past come back and tear them apart? Will these two ever get their happy ever after? I loved this storyline. It has me hooked from beginning to end. I loved being able to watch these two fall in love and fight for their feelings. Ruger and Chastity deal with so much to have a relationship and Penny writes it so well. I absolutely love the MC aspect of this storyline it brings the action to the story. Just a well written enjoyable storyline with some amazing characters. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love this series it just gets better and better with every new book as we get to touch bases with previous partnerships but also get to fall in love with a new couple
We have met Chastity through many of the stories She is the only daughter in the Calley family with three older brothers in the MC and her uncle the president of the Kings of Mayhem. She has been protected all her life to the point that she has only had one serious boyfriend and that when she was away at college away from the influence of her family and whe he met her family that was over to. She has always had a crush on Ruger La Montagne her uncles best friend. Ruger knows that Chastity is off limits haven’t they all been warned so by Michael “Bull” Western the pres but he can’t help wanting what he wants. When the passion between them explodes he will do whatever he needs to not only to keep her safe but to keep her as his even if that means going against his best friend and the club he calls home.
Ruger and Chastity, finally it’s their turn! This age gap for many might be an issue but it isn’t, Ruger is sixteen years older but at twenty-two Chastity knows her own mind. Their chemistry is combustible and they go together like peas and carrots.
Ruger is such a likeable character, he is everything a tough sergeant-at-arms should be but has such a caring and protective personality and enjoys helping others. Chastity is a determined young woman who, even after having had some traumas in her life, has a focus and strong mindset. I admire her honesty and straightforwardness too as well as her smart mouth!
The element of unpredictability in this series is still very evident in this story. I love the way all of a sudden things get thrown out of whack and you are left wondering and pondering about the possibilities. Behind the love story is a darker element that causes some chaos for the Kings of Mayhem.
Great descriptions of both the characters and settings and an intriguing storyline make this an extremely entertaining and exciting book. I totally recommend it to everyone but you do need to start at book one if you haven’t read this series-you’ll be in for a treat.
I enjoyed this forbidden romance. I definitely felt the attraction between Ruger and Chastity. There was a great build up which made them getting together all the better. I also love MC romances. If I could change one thing I would’ve made a little more drama with the club. Although she did have that one incident when she got pulled over it really wasn’t as dramatic as I was expecting or hoping. Other than that it was a good read.
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
Beautiful Story!
This amazing author, Penny Dee, has done it once again and given us an amazing and beautiful love story about the Sargent-at-Arms in this fierce MC club. Right from chapter one I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down! This is a fantastic age-gap romance and the way that Penny writes the story doesn’t make it sleazy but actually really beautiful!
Ruger and Chastity are forbidden but that doesn’t stop the intense and mind-blowing chemistry they have. They tried to hard to push their feelings aside not wanting to hurt the MC but the pull to be together was unstoppable. Their interactions were intense and highly combustible.
This story has some action, suspense, intrigue and a whole lot of very sexy and intensely steamy moments. I was cheering for Ruger and Chastity all the way!!!
Phenomenal writing and storytelling. I can’t wait for more!!
This book was an awesome read. Full of tension, drama, and hot loving, the emotions were intense, Off Limits has them all. It’s the 5th in the series and many previous characters appear. But this story is Ruger and Chastity’s tale.
Chastity has known Ruger all her life, and now she is grown however, her fondness for him as changed and she now has a secret crush for him and Ruger has started to noticed she’s not a little girl any more but a beautiful, grown woman.
The story is their rocky journey through friendships, first love, mafia action and angry betrayals. Beautifully written and developed with plenty of suspense, twists and suspense.
An excellent story. I highly recommend this story!
YES! Penny Dee does it again with another great addition to the Kings of Mayhem series!!
Due to a broken pipe in her apartment, Chastity finds herself becoming roommates with Ruger. They both find that it is the wrong and right place for her to be. She’s had a crush on him for years. Close quarters and his rockin chiseled body aren’t helping her squelch that crush!
Ruger realizes quickly that Chastity isn’t a little girl anymore. There may be an age difference, but she’s definitely a woman now.
In addition to the age difference, she’s the one girl he’s been warned is off limits.
“I was at war with myself. I wanted her. I ached for her. But it was wrong.”
Any involvement with her will cause chaos within the club. But….
“There was no denying it, I was drawn to her and powerless against it. And I was totally screwed.”
“This could be the ruin of me or the best thing that ever happened.”
Will they give their growing attraction a chance? Or will they succumb to the pressures of the club? As their attraction builds, so does their friendship. Together they are finding their place and that place is called home.
“When she smiled up at me I felt something inside of me change. Something hard and unforgiving suddenly softened and let go.”
Rugar didn’t realize he was capable of feeling this way. He’s ready to embrace the beauty Chastity brings to his life. But, as fate would have it. Not all good things are meant to be. Be careful who you open the door to.
I loved being immersed with the Kings once again. This story gives us all the yummy morsels about Ruger and Chastity. We do get to reconnect with other Kings, but this story is solely theirs. And that is perfectly awesome, because they will keep you thoroughly entertained! And boy Oh boy, a totally hot story at that! AND….Thank you Penny Dee!! I’m squalling with excitement that Bull may finally be getting his story!! I can’t wait!
As I open each one of these that go to this MC I get deeper into their world. This one centers around Ruger and Chastity and experience their story to unfold. The years difference made no difference to me. They both have a own ideals on they should resist and all that. I am glad that the hearts take over and we are given a fabulous ride with them. From the beginning you are curious than it is more than that you are their shadow. The emotions are off the charts. This writer knows how to have us come back each time.
Ruger was 16 when Chastity was born. Chastity has grown up as a princess in the mc and is bored with her current boyfriend. She’s always had a crush on Ruger but he sees her as nothings but a friend. A broken pipe in her apartment leaves her having to move in with Ruger. Things change between them quickly as Ruger begins to realize Chastity is a woman fully grown at age 22 and ready for a relationship. Just as things get hot, an ex girlfriend shows up with some drama the couple has to deal with as well as all the blow back from Chastity’s family and the mc. A really good mc read.
well dang this book was hot! I always love a good bother’s best friend or in this case best friend’s niece story. This was hot and steamy and filled with passion and drama. I loved the interwoven story of coming of age, getting your man (or woman), protecting your and fighting for the MC. This story has a little of everything.
There is a age gap but that just makes this story steamer, the action that takes place was addicting and the characters were really well developed. I liked they they both (the main characters) had strong wills and knew what they wanted. They went after it and held on!! Wonderful story. 4.25 stars.
I loved Off Limits! What a great addition to the Kings of Mayhem MC series. Penny Dee wrote a great story about Chastity and Ruger. I enjoy MC books especially when the heroine grows up in the life and is strong enough to hold her own against anything! With a crazy twist thrown in this book will keep you wanting more!
There is something about those Calley kids that I can’t get enough of.
Chastity Calley absolutely stole the show. The MC princess came in guns blazing. I love absolutely everything about her. From her “badassness” to her unwillingness to give up on love and what she believes in. She processed everything you expected when you think of what a MC princess should be, but she wasn’t jaded (like Indy was) while there was a struggle she accept her life and the role the MC played in it.
While I didn’t feel the connection to Ruger, like I did with the Calley boys. I still loved his overall character.
The forbiddeness of their romance was just extremely sexy. The overall plot and the twist and turns of the story line revolving around the MC world is always addicting.
WOW! This series just gets better & better with every book!
Chastity is every bit a club princess…the niece of the President and baby sister to three club members…and she’s felt the sting of their overbearing protectiveness for far too long.
Ruger is the President’s best friend…he takes his role in the club very seriously…and he’s known Chastity is she was a little girl.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Chastity and Ruger are forced to share a space and eventually Ruger opens his eyes to the woman that Chastity has grown up to be instead of the off-limits girl she’s always been. Meanwhile, Chastity’s longstanding crush on Ruger develops into something much more intense. Will they get together? Will they be able to survive the club finding out? UGH!!! The anticipation tore me up. The author is able to articulate so much emotion from both of these characters that I couldn’t help but feel what they were feeling as I read. And let me tell you, this book has one of the best intimate scenes I’ve ever read…hands down! I’d give this book a thousand stars if I could!
