Review: Chaotic

 


Title: Chaotic 

Series: Lord's series 

Author: Shantel Tessier 

Release Date: January 9, 2026



Blurb: 

HIS ANGEL

I was born into a secret society known as the Lords. There is no limit to their depravity. If they want to be respected, they have to earn it. 

Women like me are merely allowed to exist in their world … until they no longer need us. 

I’ve spent most of my life wishing death would find me. That I’d be granted an escape from the reality I was forced to endure. But luck has never been on my side. It seemed I was destined to never be anything more than a failure.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

Then one night I took control of my life. It was my first taste of freedom, and I wanted someone to notice me. 

Turns out, that was a mistake, and my father had been right, I didn’t deserve to be seen. 

A Lord—Kashton Landon Pierce—saved me, and I offered to pay him the only way I knew how—with my body. After he finished with me, I ran. 

Now he’s back in my life, wanting to pick up where we left off. 

The problem with that is I’m no longer the scared woman I was when we met. I’ve spent years digging myself out of a dark hole, and I refuse to allow any man to drag me back. Especially a Spade brother. Even if he is promising me everything I’ve ever wanted.

I underestimated him. Kashton inserted himself into my everyday life and invaded my dreams. 

He needed a pet to keep chained in the basement. A toy to occupy his free time. His brothers were busy living their lives, so he decided to take over mine. 

What I didn’t expect was for him to make me feel loved. To be taken care of and put first before anything else. After being told you’re worthless your whole life, it’s hard not to believe it. 

Kashton made me feel cherished and accepted me for who I was—unworthy. 

For a moment, I found myself hoping for a future that I knew wasn’t possible. One where I could be what he needed. But our world has a way of teasing happiness before stripping it all away.







Review: 


Chaotic is the 7th book in the Lord's series & follows Kashton Pierce - not only a Lord but a Spade Brother. Kashton was not only born into a secret society, but into the family that makes those who disobey the order of the Lord's disappear. 
On the night of Kashton's initiation - he met a woman who he wanted to be his - before she disappeared for years. She showed up again six years later, and Kash wasn't letting her go again, even if it means chaining her up in his basement. But she has many secrets, ones that she plans to take to the grave but the thing about secrets is they always have a way of coming out. 
Just like the rest of the Lord's series, Chaotic was dark and spicy. And I loved every minute of it. Definitely check out the TW before diving in - bc this one is dark, and twisted & filled with trauma from both main characters, I needed to take breaks myself while reading it. The MMC was possessive & obsessed with the FMC, & he falls first. 
I loved Kashton & his story & loved his Angel as well. She was a fighter & I had felt through everything she had been through, some of it hitting close to home for me. 
I definitely recommend reading at the very least the Lord's series before diving into this book bc they all tie together - but you should also read the Seven Deadly Sins series, Slaughter, & Dark Kingdom series as well since there are ties & references between them all as well. If you are looking for a dark secret society romance - then you need to pick up Chaotic & the rest of the Lord's series. 
5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐ 
5🌶️ out of 5 🌶️. 

Tropes: 
- Dark Romance 
- Secret Society 
- Found Family 
- Jealous & Possessive MMC 
- He Falls First

North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure.

Review: Bad Little Bride

  Title: Bad Little Bride Series: Girls of Greyson Author: Meagan Brandy Release Date: January 7, 2025 Degradation of the Desperate Daughter. That could be the theme song to my life.  Always second choice. Second best. Second born. Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile. He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down. No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way. And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done. I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back. I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones. He wants the world t...
