Saving Chains

Brothers of Sin #1

by Sienna Grant

I’m Levi ‘Chains’ Brown, Sergeant at Arms for Brothers of Sin MC.
My problem is, I take sin to the next level.

I haven't had a normal life. It's been fraught with survival and finding an escape.
Brothers of Sin were my salvation.

They took me in, fed me, clothed me, and taught me how to be a man. Something my own father should have done, but he used me as a punch bag.

It was when I found shelter that I met Luna Scott. She was my savior and the President's daughter but also my best friend. The girl I’d die for.
She rescued me in more ways than one. Until one night changed everything.

Now I need to find my way back.

This was the first book I picked up by this author, and honestly, I think I only came across it on TikTok and decided to give it a go. It’s an MC romance, and I don’t usually go for MC books, but I thought I’d try something different. The story is about Levi, whose road name is Chains, and Luna, the president’s daughter.

The book opens with Levi just getting out of prison after seven years—he went down for killing his abusive dad. The very first scene has him hooking up with one of the club girls, and right after, he turns around and there’s Luna. From there, the story alternates between their points of view. We learn about Levi’s rough upbringing, how he came into the club at sixteen, and that he and Luna had some sort of relationship before being forced apart. The problem is, a lot of this history gets mentioned but never really shown. It’s said over and over that they were kept apart, that Luna lost her virginity to him, that her dad lied to her about Levi cheating, but we never actually see any of those moments play out.

I ended up stopping halfway through to read the prequel, since I saw reviews saying it existed. The prequel does give a little more insight into Levi’s background—his home life, how the club took him in, how his mom died—but even then, it still feels like something’s missing. There’s no real depth into his and Luna’s connection, which made it hard for me to buy into the whole “I’ve always loved you” angle. Especially when the first thing Levi does after getting out is sleep with someone else. If Luna is supposedly all he thought about in prison, why wasn’t he looking for her instead of hooking up with a club girl? That scene really killed some of the believability for me, and the fact that it was written in detail made it worse.

There were parts I did like—the pacing was good, the story didn’t drag, and I liked that Luna wasn’t written as some girl who sat around celibate, pining for him. It’s hinted she’s had other relationships, including with Mac, another club brother who turns out to be a villain. But again, there are gaps. We don’t know how many people either of them have been with, there’s no conversation about safety or trust, and certain contradictions pulled me out of the story. Like when Luna calls Levi out for rubbing his hook-up in her face, and he shrugs it off saying he doesn’t remember because he was drinking tequila—except we’d literally read his words at the time, so it just doesn’t add up.

By the end, Luna gets badly hurt and ends up in a coma, then recovers. Things wrap up with the reveal that the vice president is Mac’s stepbrother, which is clearly setting up the next book. That part did catch my interest, and I am curious where it’s going to go, especially with hints that the VP might end up with Luna’s friend or maybe someone else entirely.

Overall, I thought it was okay, but the more I think about it, the more the missing pieces frustrate me. The editing needs work, and the lack of backstory made it hard to connect with Levi and Luna as a couple. I’m still intrigued enough to want to see what happens in the next book, but this one left me feeling more irritated than satisfied.

Omg! If you are a lover of MC stories, then look no further, this one is for you! After reading the prequel, Wilted Flower, I couldn’t wait for the continuation of Levi and Luna’s story! And what a story it is!!! This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster the likes of which you’ve never been on. Levi comes back to the Brothers Of Sin MC after spending time in prison. When he gets out he can’t wait to see Luna, but will she feel the same? These two have such a volatile relationship but are so perfect for each other. I enjoyed their witty banter and as for their chemistry? That only got hotter in this story! I swear my Kindle almost caught on fire! Quite a bit goes on that will keep you on the edge of your seat! My heart hurt for Levi & Luna and all that they had to endure. But I knew in my heart that these two were meant for each other. Levi will protect her with everything he has. I couldn’t put this book down and didn’t want it to end! But I’m looking forward to reading about more of the characters in this incredible new series! Phenomenal!

And the sequel failed horribly. First of all. If you're British and your story takes place in America which I'm assuming here, you might want to get logistics and the way we speak into your books. They had a guy called Country. Basically it was confusing. There were a lot of grammatical errors which I didn't find in the prequel. Even reading the prequel there were still plot holes. I didn't feel any real depth from the MMCs relationship. Luna the h was TDTL honestly. Why they just didn't come out and say who had almost raped her made no sense at all. So I was pretty let down. Not sure it's worth carrying on with the series as new books will probably be added.

Safety: he's with a woman in the beginning after he's out of prison, and it's detailed. h sees it. H talks shit, but doesn't remember it the next morning, but that was unconvincing. It's understandable why he didn't search out Luna because she hated him at that time. Lies were said that he cheated on her before she went to college, but it wasn't true. After she left he turned into a drug addled manwhore, but zero detail is given. It's all very surface level without a lot of depth for what the plot was. Sorry

I initially read about Chains and Luna in the anthology piece and was instantly intrigued as to where this book series would go. The book didn’t disappoint, it kept me hooked, I went through spells of hating chains and Luna and I went through spells where I was shouting for them to get it together. All in all, it was exactly what you’d expect from this genre. The one I’m more interested in now is Reaper.

terrific MC Romance 🥰

Ok MC Stands for Motorcycle Club in case you Don’t know already. Anyway this is the Story of Luna daughter of the Club President and Levi aka road name Chains. It is pretty hot and there is a lot of action and several smutty scenes. I enjoyed the story quite a lot and the characters were the kind that I could relate to and like. I think you will like the characters too. Oh and I got to warn you this story ends on a Bit of a Cliffhanger, so no HEA as yet.

Is there any genre, trope or topic Sienna Grant cant write about?
First dip into the Mc world and she had me hooked with the story of Levi "Chains" Brown and Luna Scott.
After we got their back story through the short piece Wilted Flowers in the New Beginnings anthology i knew id love these guys and boy did i love them!
After meeting as teenagers and then having a bump in the road, what chaos would happen when they set eyes on each other again in the clubhouse?
You get a hurricane of emotions, drama, love, loss, lack of communication and some steamy times all added to one fab read!!
Absolutely LOVED the relationship between Chains and bestfriend Reaper.. you def need a friend like these guys by your side or having your back!
Cannot wait for more of the Brothers Of Sin as they have left me wanting more more more!!!
Huge well done Sienna on another amazing story!

This book is just WOW 🤩

Chains (Levi) and Luna 😜

Chains is the Sargent in Arms of the Brothers Of Sin….let out of prison early for ‘good behaviour’

Luna, Prez’s daughter, hates that Levi left her and now he’s back……but she’s got her guard up

A traitor in the mix and secrets revealed make this MC book phenomenal

And what Chains can do 🥵🥵🥵🥵😜

A must read now

[Bonnie Mancuso · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is yet another fantastic story by Sienna Grant. It's Levi "Chains" and Luna's story. They meet when Levi takes refuge from his father by hiding out in the Brothers Of Sin MC's compound. The club's president is also Luna's dad and he takes Levi under his wing. I'm not going to give away any more of the story though. You're going to need to read it for yourself. I can tell you that Sienna is one author you don't want to miss. I love the way she writes and her characters are just incredible. I can't wait to read more about the Brothers Of Sin MC.

I really didn't get this book. It felt like there were parts missing like you might find in a sequel but this is not a sequel. It ends on a cliffhanger but I have zero interest in finding out what happens. The h is the daughter of a Prez of an MC. The relationship seems to be strained because the father broke up the H and h's teenage love by saying that the H cheated. This was a lie. The father says that no one was good enough for his daughter but that doesn't really justify his actions. The H is sent to prison for 7 years for murdering his abusive father who used to beat him and his mother until she committed suicide when he was 16. The MC took him in. I wondered how the police knew it was the H who set fire to his father's house. What evidence did they find?
The h opens a bar using inherited money. She doesn't hire staff. When she does get help, she dances with the H instead of working. She shuts down the bar in order to go to the H. She decides to offer bar food without any thought given to the logistics of this change. Only once is there mention of collecting money for all the beer she serves which is bottled not on tap.
There were too many holes in the story to make it credible for me.

Saving Chains by Sienna Grant is a fast paced intense MC drama filled story about second chances, family, love and romance. You will be taken on one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride. Sienna Grant is a first time author for me and I am hooked with her writing style involving the explosive MC world. Saving Chains storyline was complex and heartfelt and the characters are dynamic.

Chains aka Levi was abused by his father at a young age and was given a new life by the President of the Brothers Of Sin MC when he was taken in clothed, fed and taught him how to be a man. When he met Luna Scott, the President's daughter she became his confident and savior. One night changes everything for him and he ends up in prison. When he returns will he be able to win Luna back? Their explosive relationship is one that is full of witty banter and intense passion. Will Luna give in and give him a second chance as these two are meant to be together or will her father stop them from being together? This story will have you on edge from beginning to end with all of the angst, drama and passion that Chains and Luna will have to through to be together as Chains vows to protect Luna with his life. Love the bond between Chains and Reaper and the brotherhood of these hard$ss bikers of the Brothers Of Sin MC, can't wait for the next story.

After reading Wilted flower in an anthology which is Levi and Lunas back story I was desperate to read more about them and couldn’t wait for the rest of their journey and wow I wasn’t disappointed . What a journey it was. It was packed full of drama, suspense. Smoking hot chemistry, plenty of steam, hooey, a second chance and most of all friendship and family. All this mixed together and you have a mighty fine MC Romance that will keep you turning the page and you won’t want it to end. I loved this book and I can’t wait to read more of these guys. Well done Sienna what a fabulous job you have done brining this MC to life …

[Riley · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.

Saving Chains is the first in Brothers of Sin Mc by Sienna Grant. This is the first book I have read by this author. I will be back for more about these guys. Being the first book, it is always a getting to know you book. Chains/Levi is finally released from prison and returns to the MC. Luna, the President's daughter and the love of Chain's life, is also in town. One look and he know he needs her back and will get her no matter what.

The action involves a brother betraying the others, Luna being lied to in the past and not knowing the whole truth. Levi can definitely be ruthless but with Luna he is so tender and caring. He isn't afraid to show his feelings. The story has a few slow points but the story does pick up. It doesn't exactly wrap everything up but it wraps up things enough. The characters are interesting and I can't wait to delve into each of them.

OMG...I love Luna and Chains!
Returning home after 7 years in prison, all Levi wants is Luna. All Luna wants is to be left alone. But not really. The heart wants what the heart wants, and their hearts want each other. Levi will do anything to prove to Luna he loves her, and wants to protect her, even go against his Prez if he has to. But there is another man who has decided to take what isn't his. Chains to the rescue! I love this book and can't wait for the next one.

[Vicki · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story is enjoyed by a lot of people. But, I never felt the connection between Chains and Luna. Did Chains go to jail for what he did to his dad or something else? Even though, I will read Reaper's book as I need to find out about Reaper and his half-brother, Mac, I hope some of the dangling details of this book will be answered in his. I still encourage anyone to give this book a read. I didn't feel it.

I did receive this book as an ARC and this is an honest review.

Chains and Luna

What a past to overcome. both Luna and Chains pushed away from each other caused by lies. Even if it was meant something totally different. I wish the book already had a second book, I generally don't like cliffhangers so we shall see what happens

[Surrender2silk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brothers of Sin

This is my first book by this author & I will definitely be reading more by Sienna Grant! I can't wait to see what happens next with the Brothers of Sin MC-especially with a damn cliffhanger! I don't write spoiler or blurb reviews so I'll just say this has great characters & storyline so read it now!

[Sarah DeLong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sienna Grant's foray into the MC world is fantastic! She hits upon all the things that makes a great MC romance; smashing, gritty suspense, insatiable heat and strong-willed characters. Luna and Levi "Chains" met as teens, were torn from each other in unfortunate circumstances and seven years later, get a go for their second chance. I'm excited for this new, Brothers of Sin series and can't wait to read book 2, featuring Chains' best friend and biker brother, Reaper.

[Jenni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chains (Levi) and Lunas story will have you hooked! Chains is out of prison early and heading back to the MC he calls family and the one person he cant be without Luna, the prez daughter, but has time changed them? Will Luna let her walls down for a second chance? Well written the story engages you from the start with depth and emotion steamy steams desires drama, twists and i cant wait for more!

Great start to a new series! I really enjoyed this second chance romance story about Levi and Luna. I can’t wait to read the stories about the other Brothers of Sin MC.

[Dana Loos · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I like a little more conflict between main characters.

*sigh*
I have been waiting for the rest of Luna and Levi’s story since we were first introduced to them in Wilted flower. And it was WELL worth the wait.


Levi is the epitome of Alpha asshole, that would burn the world for Luna. After serving 7 years behind bars, he is out and ready to claim Luna and get a second chance. But of course Luna isn’t going to make it simple, she is the Prez’s daughter after all!

Luna grew up in this life but after Levi ‘chains’ left her, she rebelled. But now that choice is coming back to bite her.

Gah. They are so hot together. It had me smiling like a weirdo in the gym. giggling and swinging my legs at Levi. For a guy who grew up the way he did, he shows all his emotions and Luna growing up around the biker life she knows how to stand her ground.


I can’t wait for reapers story next!

Absolutely loved this book!! Levi/ chains has been through he'll since he was a kid but the brothers of sin Mc have been there for him and so has Luna the presidents daughter, now seven years later can a misunderstanding between them fix what they lost? When danger comes for them will he be able to protect her?

[Ann L · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the first page I loved Levi (Chains), now he’s out of prison all he wants is the woman he left behind but Luna is still mad at him, well not really, they both realise that they’d been manipulated and now it’s time to put the past behind them. When Luna is attacked by a so called club brother Mac, it’s Levi who saves her but he got away and now they need to stop him hurting her again.

Can’t wait for the next book in the Brothers of Sin.
