This book is so good! It kept me up until 5 am reading. I just couldn’t put it down. I just kept going and going and going.
I loved the characters, I loved the story. I loved that in many ways it wasn’t a typical rocker story. I loved that, as a reader, you knew that Rowen and Adam are meant for each other and need to be together, the characters don’t. I love that even though Rowen has a chance of sleeping with Adam right away, she doesn’t. She isn’t a one night stand kind of girl. In fact, there isn’t even sex in the book until towards the end. I love that Jamie Shaw didn’t rush the story. She made them both wait. She made, me, the reader eager with anticipation about what was going to happen between them.
Rowen is such a great character. She feels human. She catches her boyfriend of 3 years cheating. And it crushes her. You see her mourning the loss of that relationship. When she meets Adam the night she catches him cheating, there is a spark. But nothing crazy. Adam helps her forget for a moment with a scorching hot kiss. And then he has to get on stage and she makes the decision to leave. And then he shows up in her French class. But he never recognizes her. And that is heartbreaking also. In fact, he doesn’t even realize who she is, until she points it out months later. After she’s been his tutor for 3 days on his tour bus.

Adam in many ways is your typical rocker. He sleeps around. He’s cocky. But the night he meets Rowan, you see that he could change. But that was before she disappeared. Mayhem is written from Rowan’s POV and I would love to read Adam’s thoughts after she disappears. That in between of when she leaves and when he finds out who she is again, I would love to hear about. Even when he meets Rowan, before he knows who she is, I would love to hear about his feelings for her.
This was my first Jamie Shaw book and I can’t wait to read more. I love her writing style, I love how she didn’t rush anything. This book felt so natural with what the characters were doing. And the secondary characters, she made me love them almost as much as the main characters.
