Twisted billionaires #1
Chained by obsession 1
Two billionaire brothers. One captive plaything. As twisted obsession meets innocent desire, will his body’s betrayal trap him in their game of passion and power?
Once privileged, now ruined by my father’s betrayal of the Carmichael billionaires, I—Axel Hartman—am an outsider drowning in the opulent world of the elite. Desperation drove me to humiliating depths, selling pieces of my soul just to survive, until Dean and Eric Carmichael found me—the men I secretly worshipped, my hidden desires… my inescapable nightmare.
Their magnetic allure is as intoxicating as it is perilous. Once family friends, now they hunt me like prey, seeking retribution for my father’s deceit. They promised to ruin me, but not in the way I had imagined.
I should feel disgust at their rough touches and bruising kisses. But the shameful truth is, I crave the delirious pleasure they unleash, my heart and body achingly torn between escape and their provocative touch. As they push me past my limits, exploring my body and mind, fear and passion intertwine into an addictive, inescapable abyss of exquisite torment.
Can I escape this wicked game of forbidden desires and dark obsessions? Or am I forever doomed to be owned by the men who were once my idols… and are now my captors?
Chained by Obsession is a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers ménage mm dark romance.
This story contains dub-con, explicit sexual scenes (lots of it!), and obsessive, possessive male leads.

2/5. Highlights may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.
Content Warnings for book: Survival sex work, dubious consent, blackmail, kidnapping, homophobia, lack of lube
Kink: Lace and lingerie, sex toys, JOI, praise kink, cock warming, degradation, humiliation, spanking, outfit control, double penetration
God, where do I begin.
The writing is very repetitive in its metaphors and sex scenes. It is as if the author doesn’t know how else to describe the brothers or how they make Axel feels about them — you know that she describes them as a “storm” about every chapter?
Some of the writing is very fanfic. “Member”, “tongues battled for dominance”, stuff like that which it is hard to deny that writing forged in such crucibles as Wattpad or Ao3. The PoV switching is odd too. There are three “parts”, which PoV goes Axel, Dean, Axel. Axel’s is first person, while Dean’s is third person and also jumps around in time instead of being a continual narrative. Eric is apparently getting his PoV in the second book.
Now, for the uh, “plot”. This book is 224 pages and I think if you cut out the sex it’d be 50. Maybe. Now for all you erotica lovers out there you might be excited! However the issue is the sex isn’t particularly… interesting. They do different stuff, sometimes, but how can you have three dudes and not one spit-roast? Come on now. The one sex scene I liked is the very beginning because I was amused by the on-going sex/semi-cockwarming between scene changes.
Also, Eric was just there. Dean is clearly framed as the main “love interest”, while Eric just kinda watches (literally and figuratively). I assume this changes in his book, but still.
The actual gist of what happens in this book? Here it is, if you don’t want to read it but want to know:
No, I’m not joking. It was that easy to condense the plot. Just because it’s paced like a BL (which is fine, author writes BL), doesn’t mean it has to be so devoid of content.
I’m sure you’re thinking that I must’ve left things out — but questions like “why does Dean have nightmares?” “How did Axel’s family steal from them?” “What’s the age gap between the brothers or between Axel and them?” “Do they work? Where does their wealth come from?”
Couldn’t fucking tell you as it’s not in the book. Also using a dog as a manipulator is a new low. Groveling doesn’t seem to exist either.
Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll read the next book. This book was just wild.

I'm a plot person. If the plot overshadows the spice, that's fine. However, when the spice overshadows the plot...my interest in reading the story wanes considerably.
I started reading the book because the premise appeared interesting. I finished reading it to find out what happened to Grandma Lillian and Coco. I am not sure I would continue the series, though.
If you are looking for extra spicy spice with a dash of plot (and there is a plot, it's just very buried or vague and too drawn out for my taste), then definitely give this story a read. I doubt you will be disappointed at all.
