Great fun!
This book I liked! I loved Kit and her brothers! They were like a comic circus of mean and caring big brothers. Also loved the references of the twin frequency between Kit and her twin brother Kale. Poor Shawn didn't know what he was getting into with Kit. She's not sweet, she's mischievous and sassy. This time Leti got a ore prominent role as Kit's third best friend, he was pivotal to the book moving on. Kit has been in love with Shawn since high school, when she was 15 y/o. Six years later, she joins their rock band as guitarist and starts Shawn in the ride of his life. Apart from the mushy and the smexy stuff which was enjoyable, and the YA angst from Kit, the book was highly entertaining and kept me riveted on a Saturday when I had a lot of housework that didn't get done!

I read Mayhem, Riot, and Chaos one after the other and, like the addict that I have now become, I simply couldn't get enough of this series. Jamie Shaw's third and latest installment would probably be considered a second chance rock romance by some, but I see Shawn Scarlett and Kit Larson's love story as more of teenage-crush-turned-true-love kind of a thing and it really was all about timing with these two. Let's face it: Kit was fifteen and Shawn was eighteen when they ended up in bed together and neither of them could have really been experiencing feelings of the other being their one true love. Sometimes, two people need to go their separate ways to grow and mature and discover themselves before they're truly able to share who they are with a significant other. That was the case with these two, though I can more than appreciate Kit's feelings of hurt and abandonment when Shawn never called or reached out to her after their one and only time together. But, her feelings toward him at fifteen were nothing compared to those at twenty-one.
This book could have gone in the direction that one would expect, but, as usual, Jamie Shaw took the road less traveled and came up with scenarios and characters that were not idealistic but felt more realistic. I love how she never fails to surprise me at least once with these books of hers. They leave you wanting...wanting more, that is. It's like being at a kickass concert and needing encore after encore. I know there's one more The Last Ones to Know member left to tell his story, and I will certainly be waiting anxiously for its release, but I find myself dreading the end of the series. That's what happens when you have stories and a cast of characters that leave you intoxicated and, without fail, a goofy grin on your face. Shawn and Kit's story checked off everything on my romance read checklist and I'm hoping that you don't miss out on reading Chaos or the two other books in the Mayhem series. The weekend's coming up, so do yourselves a favor and curl up with this trio of 2015 favorites. And yes, book three gets five-plus stars too. ♥

Ich habe die Pärchen Kombi nach Adam und Rowan am meisten gefeiert, aber irgendwie hat es mich gen Ende nicht zu Tränen gerührt. Naja, aber trotzdem mochte ich es sehr gerne, Tränen hin oder her

Continuing to really, really love this series. Shawn and Kit keeping secrets really made their road a lot more bumpy in this second chance romance. Gold star to Leti for continuing to be fabulous voice of reason and magnificent friend to all the characters in this series. I particularly loved him basically telling Kit she was being a hypocrite in this book because I kept saying that !!!!

This series continues to be great. I just keep falling and falling for the members of The Last Ones to Know.
