You’re never really out until you’re dead. That’s what the mob bosses, gunrunners and car thieves of Seattle will tell you, anyway.

Zeth Mayfair, ex mafia enforcer, has other ideas. Since falling for Sloane, he’s managed to turn her life upside down. Now, he’s determined to give her a stable, happy and, most importantly, safe life. If that means he has to sleep with one eye open and one hand on a shotgun, then that’s what he’ll do.

Mason Reeves is just looking for a way to take care of his sick sister. Since their mother left, things have been hard, and they’re only getting harder. Prescription meds don’t come cheap, and working as an auto mechanic only pays so well. If he wants to give Millie the life she deserves, he’s going to have to earn it with his fists. And who better to teach him how to fight than the guy who took down the biggest gangster in Seattle?

You can try to get out…

You can try to be good…

You can steer clear of trouble…

But it’s only a matter of time before trouble comes looking for you.

*** Zeth and Sloane are back alongside a cast of new characters in the new Chaos & Ruin series ***

Violent Things is Book 1 in this, the sister series to Blood & Roses.

You can read this book if you haven't already read the Blood & Roses series! Upon delivery of the book, you will find an in-depth synopsis of the previous series, should you wish to jump straight into Violent Things but are yet to meet Zeth Mayfair & Sloane Romera.

Of course, Violent Things will be more enjoyable if you start their journey from the very beginning. If you choose to do so, the reading order for the Blood & Roses series is as follows:

Deviant
Fracture
Burn
Fallen
Twisted
Collateral

“He’s a thing of chaos, a thing of destruction. Chaos and ruin were the only things he knew for so long. It’s taking him time to move past that.” 

Zeth MotherF***ing Mayfair is back and as bad ass as ever!!!  Violent Things is the introduction to her new series, Chaos & Ruin. Author Callie Hart takes us where Blood & Roses ended. To see what happens next for our beloved, gruff, foul-mouthed, sexy as sin, Zeth Mayfair and his tough as nails, beautiful Dr. Sloane Romera. I, for one, was so excited to be getting more Zeth, especially after a brief taste in Hell’s Kitchen, a series collaboration between Callie Hart and Lilli Saint Germain.

The story is fast paced and engaging. I couldn’t get enough and then it was over. It’s a quick, short read, setting up the series. We meet new, hot, intriguing characters who will be playing pivotal roles in this series, it seems. Young, wary hot head Mason is one I cannot wait to get to know. Author Callie Hart writes in alternating POV, which I love because you get to be inside each character’s head and really understand what they’re thinking and why.

And that black duffel bag returns with our alpha, hot, controlling Zeth. The steam between Zeth and Sloane is panty melting, sizzling and scorching. Dayum these two!! The banter between them is funny. Zeth’s character makes me laugh out loud. He’s cocky and arrogant as ever, yet sweet in his own gritty way.

“I love the way he looks at me. Love the way his eyes travel over my body like he’s imagining consuming me in the most erotic ways possible.”

Callie Hart is off to a great start. Staying true to her characters and the life they live. I cannot wait for the next one. I need more!! While Violent Things can be read as a stand alone because it is the start of a new series, I recommend reading the Blood & Roses series first. So worth the time to get to know their story from the beginning.

Get the box set!!! Only $2.99 for all 6 books!!

About Callie Hart

Callie has experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and downs that have all worked towards shaping and molding her into the person she is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.
Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.
