Author Stone did it again, this book was a masterpiece, both couples have broken, one is dealing with PTSD the other is dealing with a broken heart but for some reason they found a way to balance everything between them. Those two make a powerful couple and I love them! Thank You Miss Stone
4 1/2 Stars! Book two in the Dead Presidents MC series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. Novella length told in dual POV with HEA. The Dead Presidents are a motorcycle club where all members are military vets. Each book is about a different member and secondary characters are the same throughout the series. I liked that this MC wasn’t into anything illegal and there was no club whore drama. Havoc is the clubs Sargent at Arms and he is the “white knight” to Julia’s “damsel in distress”. Their paths intersect and he helps her with her family crisis and so much more. I loved the epilogue!
This is Havoc and Julia’s story. When we first met Havoc he was in jail for beating the crap out of a rapist in Link’d Up. Julia grew up very rich and the exact opposite of how Havoc did. She has distanced herself from her family after she divorced her cheating husband. She now runs a bookstore, and that is where she meets Havoc. Both are struggling to change some things about themselves that they don’t like. Will they be able to help each other overcome those demons or accept them as part of who they are? There is intrigue and action in this book. I really enjoyed it.
I’m loving the fact that this MC is so different than anything else I have read. There Dead Presidents MC consists of veterans dealing with issues such as PTSD, working together, and helping each other to overcome their issues. I am enjoying this entertaining, fun, suspenseful series. Can’t wait to read more.
Havoc and Julia meet in kinda a random weird way. He is a hot arse biker, freshly out of jail for a crime he didn’t commit and she is from a high class family with even higher expectations. They both need A Bit of help from each other, but after the first night they spend together the attraction is off the charts. These two have one crazy story to be told, can’t wait for the next book in the series
Havoc is a fun character. He and Julia really suit each other in an odd way. They deal with a lot–her trying to remake herself into a better person, him dealing with his past, some family racism, jerk parents, and bigger jerk exes. There are some true sleazebags in this one, but we also get more of the Dead Presidents. This series touches on very serious subjects, but is also extremely funny.
I LOVE HAVOC AND JULIA
On the surface, Marcus “Havoc” Wilson and Julia “Jules” Edwards may look like an odd couple, at least to some, but they are completely perfect for each other….They both have inner demons they deal with on a daily basis, he has PTSD from the war, she has an inner rage and violence, stemming from her family, that she sometimes can’t control…I mean, she shot her ex-husband in the a$$ for cheating on her…..But, Havoc and Julia ground each other and, together, they can pretty much rule the world…
I loved Havoc in LINK’D UP, but, naturally, his book gives us an even bigger picture of this giant of a man and the softness of his heart….And, unbelievably, giving this woman with anger and rage issues to this “Hulk” of a biker, who has anger and rage issues, to care for and protect, is, in some ways, perfect….She gives him a reason to control his demons and he is her touchstone and the only thing/person who can calm hers… I still love Havoc….and now I love Havoc and Julia…
Excellent story!! I love Havoc & Jules!! Keep your fan nearby… this one is HOT! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!!
I am so in love with Harley Stone’s writing style. They are characters I can very easily relate to, laugh with and love. The men of the Dead Presidents MC are some of my all time favorite men. I adore the camaraderie between all those men.
Julie was not quite what I was expecting in a heroine, but she is the perfect match for Havoc. Havoc was introduced in Link’d Up, and he is known for having a wee bit of a temper. After all, it is Havoc’s attempted murder charge that basically brings Link and Emily together. But Havoc is trying to do better, as he is trying his hand at growing flowers. That doesn’t go so well and that’s how Havoc meets Julie.
These two are highly entertaining. Julie’s temper is about as bad as Havoc’s. And Julie LOVES to push his buttons. This is book 2. Can it be read as a stand-alone? I think it could, but I also think it would be much more enjoyable to start this series at the beginning if you haven’t already. And if you like MC books, I highly recommend the Dead Presidents MC.
When Marcus “Havoc” Wilson walked into Julia Edwards book store and left with something so much more than valuable than a book on gardening. Julia needed help and when Havoc walked into her store he was exactly what she needed. Together Havoc and Julia learned that together they could heal each other take down anyone that stood in their way. I loved this story and it had so much depth. The characters were like your own family whom you loved and wanted to help. This series gets better with every story. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Havoc is the second book in The Dead Presidents MC series.
Havoc is the sergeant at arms for the Dead Presidents and just released from jail meets bookstore owner Julia and they are very much attracted to each other.
Julia invites Havoc to be her date at her sisters wedding.
Loved this book very much. Julia was a strong heroine even though I didn’t like her at the very beginning but after I’ve read why she was like that, I understood her.
Havoc is a ex military that came from war with a few problems. He’s a very good man and Link, The President of the Dead Presidents is his best friend.
Havoc and Jules were hot together. Love the story and the suspense.
Can’t wait to read more of this series.

Wreaking Havoc is the second title in the Dead Presidents MC series. Whilst I believe you could read this title as a standalone, I would recommend reading Link’d Up first to fully comprehend the events in this story as they unfold.
Marcus ‘Havoc’ Wilson is a brooding, gruff, yet sweet and sexy, bad-ass alpha biker. The SAA for the Dead Presidents, he is known for his temper, and is haunted by events from his past.
Julia comes from a background of wealth and privilege, but is doing her best to turn her life around. She’s an intriguing character with the ability to be both vulnerable and a queen bitch.
Wreaking Havoc is a fast paced, entertaining and engaging story with complex, and interesting characters. It’s a story packed full of heat, drama, intrigue and action and I will be eagerly awaiting future titles in the Dead Presidents MC series.
Oh my how hot is the strong, stoic alpha Marcus!
Marcus is recently out of prison for protecting a young woman unfortunately his good deed involved the Mayors son and Marcus was the scapegoat . Marcus is the member of a huge MC that takes pride in helping their veterans and the community. He soon realizes that he is looking for more than the club house women can offer.
Julia is from a prominent stuffy family of the community that seems to think they can rule not only the town but Julia’s world. Fresh off of a arranged marriage she is happy to be on her own but she does find it a bit lonely ..until Tall, Dark and Handsome shows up in her book store ! The theory of opposites attract has never been truer ! Julia needs a escort to a family wedding and Marcus needs a bit of landscaping/gardening help. Julia offers him a deal and Marcus cannot refuse !
I loved how well they soon began to round each other off. It was so fascinating watching them learn from one another !

This is a book that will stay with your for a couple of days after your read it… in a good way. Marcus and Julia both have demons to work through and it is beautiful to read how they work through them together. Julia has some one liners that will make you laugh out loud. Not only does this book have STEAMY screens but it also has those moment that make you heart flutter. Every time you think you know what will happen there will be a twist that will knock your socks off. I love the message of this series that our Veterans can overcome PTSD and I think that it bring awareness to what it is like for out Veterans when they come home. This is an issue that is very close to my heart and Harley does an amazing job addressing it. So sit back and read this action packed, steamy and witty MC summer read
I freakin loved this latest installment of the Dead Presidents MC series!!!! I absolutely adored Havoc….I just love him to pieces sigh! Julia is a bookstore owner. She meets Havoc when he comes to her store looking for a book on gardening. When he walks in she knew that he would be perfect for what she needs. She needs a date for her sister’s upcoming wedding and to Julia’s surprise he agrees. One of the reasons I absolutely love Havoc was that he was true to himself, took no crap from anyone, and stood up for Julia when no one else would. Julia has one nasty temper when provoked and it seems that only Havoc can calm Julia. The chemistry between the two was explosive and very, very hot!! Their relationship wasn’t always smooth sailing but Havoc knows that she is the one for him and will always be there for Julia period no matter what they go through.
I love this series and dare I say this is my favorite book to date so far. I loved everything about their story and I would highly recommend everyone grab and copy and read it….you won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait for the next book in this amazing series….well done!!!
4.5 Stars
I knew that Havoc’s book was going to be good … and I was SO RIGHT!! He is so very much an alpha male but also has a vulnerable side, and a wicked playful side that was fun to read. Julia is another interesting character. She comes from a very wealthy family that thrives off being top dog in the big pond. She learned early how to cut down and destroy her enemies, but she doesn’t want to be that person anymore. But it is hard to turn off years of training. Havoc shows here a different side of herself that she really didn’t except and it was great to see it.
All in all, this was an awesome story! I really liked the characters and the story had the perfect blend of romance and danger. I would definitely recommend WREAKING HAVOC!
We learned of Havoc in Link’d up (Dead Presidents MC book 1), when he was sent to prison for something he shouldn’t have been. Now he’s home, and trying to find an outlet for his temper, which keeps getting him in trouble. He starts gardening, as a hobby, but it doesn’t work out so well, and his plants keep dying. When it is suggested he pick up a book to see if he can figure out what he is doing wrong, he runs into bookstore owner, Julia. She has an interesting proposition for him!
Julia is an enigma. Sometimes she is ruthless, at others she is so vulnerable it makes me want to cry. At the beginning of the story, she doesn’t really know who she is anymore. Her whole entire world has been turned upside down, and she is trying to straighten it back out. She does, however, know what kind of person she wants to be, she is just having trouble keeping herself from sliding back into the person she was before. I guess that’s what Havoc is there for, to keep her straight!
Havoc and Julia light this book up like fireworks! This book is HOT! Their chemistry is amazing, and their personalities complement each other so well, they just fit! I enjoyed visiting with the characters of the Dead Presidents MC, and am looking forward to seeing just who is going to find their HEA next!
Holy hotness! Wreaking Havoc not only bring plenty of delicious heat, but has maximum levels of swoon to go along with it! Sexy, sweet, and with a bit of edge that hooks you I stayed up way past when I should have been asleep just to keep reading. It’s worth the extra coffee tomorrow because there was no way I could have put this book down! I loved every second of reading this book!
Havoc is my new favorite book boyfriend. Sexy, insanely hot, and bringing all the swoon this man is perfection in one big bada*$ biker package. Not a saint by any means, but a genuinely good man it was easy to fall fast and hard for him. I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about Julia at first but the more I got to know her the more I adored her. Perfectly balancing each other and with off the charts chemistry Julia and Havoc together are absolutely incredible!
Fantastic addition to the series. Once again the author has written a wonderful storyline with characters that you just want to scoop up and hug. YEP even those alpha bikers. Her writing style will have you feeling everything from excitement, anger and of course swooning.
The Dead Presidents are so much more than just bikers in a brotherhood. These are all exmilitary that have come back from the service that are all struggling with their own personal wartime demons. Men that have formed family that will have each other’s backs as well as help them get a handle on their issues. The storyline in both Book 1 (Link’d Up) and Wreaking Havoc (Book 2) are MC style of exciting and of course very sexy reads but they are also touching and emotional reads. The author has just done such an amazing job with both books you’ll just feel like you are right there fighting their personal battles with them as well as feeling the love and connection with their brother and women.
This is Havoc’s Story. To say he has temper issues might be a little mild. But he has a compassionate heart of gold and when he sees a wrong being done, especially to a woman or defenseless person his temper flares. He meets Julia, a woman who has given up her pampered wealthy lifestyle, in a bookstore, a woman who wants his help. She offers him a proposition he can’t refuse. From here the author takes you on a wild exciting ride. Can these two end up helping each other. Will their lifestyles keep them at arms length?
I Highly recommend this series to all biker and military romance fans. I say 2 Thumbs Up and this reader is looking forward to Trapping Wasp, Book 3 in the Dead Presidents series. To Ms. Stone I say Kudos on a terrific series with a lot of action, excitement and romance but that also has an underlying meaning that everyone can and should take to heart. 5 Amazing Stars for Wreaking Havoc.
I am moving to Seattle!! I have fallen in absolute, unquestioning deep love and devotion for the Death Presidents MC. This is not your typical MC. They are all vets with struggles. Instead of falling into the blackhole of despair they are fighting their demons one good deed at a time. They protect the weak. They save their own. Talk about a bunch of hot Alpha males!!! Get to fanning. Is it getting hot around here?
We first met Havoc in Link’d Up. (You did read it, right? If not you really, really need to read it) He had been accused of a serious assault and it wasn’t looking good. As a protector, he only acted when a woman was being assaulted. Unfortunately, the suspect was a member of the elite. With his brothers by his side, and an unstoppable lawyer, he is free to struggle and save the world, or in this case save Julia, ex-debutante.
Julia isn’t just any ex. She was married to the son of her father’s business partner. A year later, she has to face all those that let her down at her sister’s wedding. Who better than the man that took some of their own down to escort her, protect her, and save her from herself? Drama, drama, and more drama. And the author is just getting started.
Get ready for the ride of your life!! Hop on a Fat Boy. Rev your engine. Pop a wheelie. There is so much packed into this book that a fumed when it ended. I wanted more. Needed more. MORE Sex! MORE tension. MORE romance. More deceit. More brotherhood. Thankfully there is another book just months away even if I have to locate the author and clean her house so she can write.
