CHAINED Kindle Edition

by Jaimie Roberts (Author), Kellie Dennis (Illustrator), Kim Young (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 304 ratings
After the devastating loss of her parents and subsequent depression, Olivia Brown decided a move from her parent’s family home in Cambridge to a house in London would give her the fresh start she so sorely needed.

Living off her inheritance, Olivia didn’t need to work, but she knew she needed something to make her feel like life was worth living. Painting was her one true love, but that wasn’t enough. So she started a part-time job in a bar, and the rest of the time she spent at a local soup kitchen, feeding the homeless. In the mornings, she bought hot beverages for her homeless friends, but there was one who never asked. This man, having the most facial hair she’d ever seen, the most captivating eyes she’d ever stared at, remained aloof. He never said a word to anyone, and never once looked her way. However, all this did was make Olivia want to find out more about this mysterious man hiding behind a face full of hair.

One perilous evening, her wish came true.

On the way back from working at the bar, Olivia was attacked. She screamed for help, relieved when her cries are answered...but surprised when she saw who her rescuer was. It was the eyes. It was the hair. It was none other than the mysterious homeless man.

That night, Olivia learned two things. One, his name was Kit, and two, Kit had skills… skills which didn’t fit a man living on the streets.

Day after day, Olivia slowly pushed the boundaries, coaxing out the man hiding behind the hair. Kit Chain wasn’t only trained like men she watched in movies, he was also the most beautiful. Bit by bit, Olivia managed to break down his walls, revealing secrets that would change her life. Secrets that would put both of them in terrible danger.

However, there was one thing about secrets...

Everyone had them.

    This is my first read from this Author but not my last! This book is very detailed and I never actually could have figured out this complex puzzle. The young woman Olivia is complicated.. her past is painful and very sad.. her present isn’t what we are led to believe .. there’s a man “ Uncle” who Olivia sees as her savior but Zac is not that at all. However you won’t quite figure it out until the end. I knew he wasn’t a good man but Wow! Then there is Kit Chain he is a mysterious homeless man that Olivia is captivated by.. later we learn why. This is not a light read. It’s not a quick read and nothing is clear and nothing is as it appears to be. If you like dark, complex , detailed books then I recommend this highly! It’s very well written and emotional. It’s an erotic thriller but in a very unique way . I absolutely was drawn into this and took my time consuming every detail. Excellent read and the ending is as it should be ALL IS REVEALED 😈 I
    Bought the paperback and am glad I did ❤️

    This is one of those stories that will take your breath away but you can't stop reading. It is dark, twisted, painful and will leave you gasping for more. Olivia is trying to find the Shadow-man and destroy him, maybe then she will be able to leave the darkness behind. With the help of Uncle, who is not really her uncle, can she move from the past. After her father kills himself and her mother dies from cancer, Olivia moves away and starts volunteering at a food kitchen for the homeless. She meets Kit but he doesn't acknowledge her, he doesn't want any friends. They will come to rely on each other more then they will ever realize. And Zac is a different story himself. If you like a great story that is dark and twisted, then this one is for you.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2015

    Olivia has suffered the loss of both parents, her mother by cancer and her father through suicide. The only person still in her life is a family friend she's always referred to as Uncle. He has always helped to watch over her and is a very protective and powerful man. Olivia works at a bar at night and volunteers at a local soup kitchen in the mornings. She loves helping the regulars that come to the kitchen and is especially intrigued by one man who never speaks to anyone. One night walking home from the bar, she's attacked and is saved by her mystery homeless man. She and Kit become close but both have secrets that will effect their futures.

    I enjoyed the beginning of this story, and I was excited about the whole idea behind the mysterious sexy guy living on the streets who ends up saving the damsel. But mid-way through I started struggling with Olivia's character. She's a touch naive and not a great decision maker. If you're a fan of insta-love, it's here and comes out of nowhere. There's a dark edge to the story which I liked with suspense and secrets that keep you interested.

    The character Uncle....what a horrible and CRAZY man! I'm not sure what to think about that strawberry or drug stuff. I've always had an extremely vivid imagination and can roll with whatever plot I read, but I really had to stretch my brain throughout that portion of the story.

    Overall, while I didn't love this story, I did like it. Please keep in mind this is my personal review and other readers may/may not agree. For me, it was a solid 3.5 star rating.

    It's told from Olivia's POV and does have an ending the readers will enjoy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The things some men will do to possess what they crave
    Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Having read Deviant by this author, I knew she was more than capable of writing dark and depraved books. Chained took things up a notch with a tale of murder, betrayal, obsession and passion...but with so many twists and surprises along the way that it kept me on my toes. I WAS able to figure out who Kit really was partway through the book, but that didn't diminish the thrills and excitement and other surprises that we had in store for us as the story came to the final huge explosion of a conclusion.
    "Uncle" and Olivia were interesting characters as well (I wanted to strangle Uncle myself) and it seems like this beautiful woman had the ability to cast a spell on every man she came in contact with...quite a feat for someone who was so emotionally damaged.
    There were some graphic sexual scenes, rape and violence, but nothing I would consider gratuitous...it was all a necessary part of the story.
    Read if you like deeply disturbing books of possession and the horrible things some men will do to own a woman.

    Kit and olivia. The story held me captive. As much as it is romantic it has a lot of suspense too. U can never predict what next. Very intriguing and again captivating.
    I fell in love with Olivia which is something I rarely do. She's the kind of girl that u'd wish as a friend
    As for kit, well he's in a different league. The guy is absolutely beautiful inside and out
    Both of them made the story a real success
    Thumb up. Must read

    Loved Kit & Olivia! This story drew me in from the very beginning and I was not able to put it down. Found myself waking up early in the morning, so I was able to read before my husband got up. Kept going back and forth with Uncle - if I like him or not. I had a feeling that something was up with him but then he would redeem himself by helping Olivia out. Don't want to give anything away - but this is a book that you need to read. Loved the cover and have not been disappointed in any of Jaimie's books.

    Excellent story and one I really enjoyed. I admit I struggled with the first few chapters and usually I would put the book down if that happens but I didn't and continued. Well I couldn't put it down at all after, even when in had finished !!! I loved both Olivia and kit and even zac to some degree although not sure why. The story itself was brilliant and at some point in the book it was as though i was reading 2 different stories. You'll see why yourself when you start this book by Jamie Roberts

    Jaimie Roberts delivers again. Chained was filled with so much emotion, mystery and heartache. You could not help feel you were part of the story. Part way through I put it down as I was like OMG no Uncle is going to completely loose it when he finds out about Kit, but I didn't and I was not disappointed!

    Sorry to say so, but I was disappointed. I liked Deviant a Redemption and I was almost sure that I’d like this one as well.
    But the story fall short of my expectations and disgusted me even. I found it not believable. There were absurd magic pills and improbable hypnosis effects. The h was not of my liking and the H almost a secondary figure and I couldn't feel any connection with both of them.
