"What's wrong, kitten? Am I getting you riled up?" he asks teasingly. I turn away from him, hoping he won't see how much he's pissing me off.
He knows I hate that fucking nickname, but he hasn't stopped calling me that since we were little.
"I told you to stop calling me that," I murmur, trying to keep my voice steady.
"And I told you that I would never stop calling you that."
I grind my molars, feeling my frustration rise. "You're such a dick. Why is that my nickname anyway?"
"Because you always have your claws out, but when it's time to scratch and bite, you're practically harmless."
A bitter laugh bubbles out of me as I turn back to him. "Fuck you. I could claw your damn eyes if I wanted to."
"Sure, you can, Kitten," he says again, grinning just to piss me off more. "But just in case those claws don't sink deep enough, keep in mind that you can always call on me, Niko, and Mace if you're in trouble."
Why does he keep saying that? I don't need them, I never have. Not even when my dad was murdered. I never let anyone see me cry and wiped my own tears in private.
Just like Daddy would have wanted from his tough girl.
"He's right, sweet girl. You can call us if you ever need us," Nikolai adds, emerging from the house and joining us. Mace appears right behind him.
Oh, great. Here are all three dumbasses.

Book 1 in the From Chains To Passion Chapter 1 to Chapter 45.
This doesn’t even deserve half of the 4-5 stars it’s gotten. Not even close. And it’s not even worth the read with how boring and repetitive it gets.
Dear reverse harem trope writers: stop making every single chapter nothing but smut. Literally 90% of this book is just repetitive smut. It got to the point where I was skimming chapters in hopes of finding the actual plot/story and actual proper character development/interaction.
I also could have made a drinking game with the amount of times I read the words: gush, juices, gushed, daddy, slut, kitten, rod, greedy p*ssy, and I mean the list goes on.
And when you have literally near every chapter containing all those words? I start to question how old the author is lol. Or did they pull this out of their fanfic pile from teenage years and changed the names around? Who even knows. But this absolutely does not deserve all the 5 stars it’s been getting, 2 stars at most.
The handling of Alyssa’s domestic violence response was poorly done as well, especially with the depth of what Issac did to her. Zero lingering trauma, no PTSD. No nightmares. No flinches. No disassociation. Nothing. It’s almost like she just bounces back all Willy Nilly. She just runs away with her baby, straight into the arms of her old bullies and thus commences the nonstop smut.
If you want nothing more than to read about a biker club, obsessed with their president's little sister, acting out their sexual domination and suddenly turning her into their sex-addicted play toy, this book is for you.
The FMC is running from her abusive husband, trying to get to her brother for protection but when she can't reach him, she calls one of his friends from their teen years even though she supposedly hates him. This friend comes along and saves her, as well as her 7mo daughter, but when he gets her back to his house to wait for her brother, he basically rapes her in exchange for his help. Suddenly, after that first encounter, she slowly becomes addicted to sex with him while he uses complete control over her sexually.
The brother shows up, with a surprise new wife, allows the new wife to talk down to the fmc and the two of them victim-blame the fmc for being abused and not leaving sooner, as well as having no maternal instinct to protect her daughter. Seriously, let's verbally and emotionally add to the trauma the fmc has already endured by telling her how much of a POS she is for being abused and being forced to have a child with a psychopath.
Add in two more of the brother's best friends. One immediately allowed to join in and have a threesome. The third waiting for his chance to have sex with her, too. This book is nothing more than the writer's fetish fantasy to be dominated by multiple males.
The story is really good - there are trigger warning though and please listen to them and it gets a bit descriptive for some unfortunately too common situations so please check them and take care of your mental health
If you are fine with the triggers then it's a really enjoyable if not intense book
There are some words where you can tell maybe auto correct changed it to the wrong one but it is only a couple
The book also ends as if it's in the middle of the chapter so please have the 2nd one ready if your find your enjoying this one (I know my physical copy friends won't have the patience to wait for the next one)
This is a great story so far and does not lack in the hot and spicy department. I originally saw this story advertised on social media and like a fool downloaded the app and spent a fortune to read half of the book. Finally, when I was out of coins I decided to check if the story was published on Amazon and was so thrilled to find it here!! I bought the 5 book series and did not see until afterwards that a few reviews said the book wasn’t even finished. Praying that is not the case. Not sure how you can sell a book without it even being written or published online yet. It wasn’t a presale or anything so fingers crossed.
Im sooo glad i foubd this on kindle. I was reading it on a book app but lost the app and it was costing too much. Now i get to finish it!!! I love men like King, they always remind me of what shrek said "onions, ogres are like onions. Layers, lots and lots of layers". Each chapter we get to peel back a layer of this big tough guy. Yes the sex scenes are on the tipping scales of rape. But what i like about these books is showing how someone who escaped from an abusive relationship gets into a proper reltionship.
A quick read with a triangle that was never supposed to happen. When your brothers, “brothers”, who you hated, turn into a hot, steamy and tantalizing escape you didn’t know you needed. A husbands abuse who makes you run to the arms of a man you thought you’d always despise. Book 1 is just the begging of this story. Will they still protect her? Will they keep her abuser away? Will they turn their lust into love?
I find her character development inconsistent and annoying.
The writing wasn't bad. Way better than so many others we find out there. Proper editing and al, good flow to the writing.
Anyways, I hate humiliation and condescension so maybe not for me. These guys breathe both down her neck constantly (because apparently they are perfect and can do no wrong).
I still can’t tell if I’m supposed to like King or not. There’s so many set ups where I assume we’re going the “I’ll save you from King” route but then we’re back to him being “sweet” which just means giving her an orgasm, buying things, and carrying the baby.
Also the very first smut scene really checked my vibe.
Is this an amazing well written book? No. Did I love reading it? Yes! There is so much smut but it’s still interesting. There is a storyline. It’s very unrealistic. But I had fun reading it!
Also didn’t realize I was reading multiple books. Since I’ve read it on NovelFlow and it looks like just one very long book. So my rating for all these books will be the same.
Great read, Alyssa needs to get away from her abusive husband, she tries the only person to help, but when she can't reach her brother she turns to his 3 best friends, who she never saw eye to eye with. Will they help or will she have to keep running. Her brothers best friends help her out in more than one way.
Well phew... hot and sexy much. Went for quite a ride with this book. The three guys falling head over heels and Alyssa and Zuri find safety and protection. Big brother Grayson has issues he need to deal with .cannot wait to read book 2
Some grammar and spelling errors. Book isn’t finished. Trigger warnings. Good plot and story over all. Characters are good, kind of reminds of Sons of Anarchy in a way but with a different twist.
Wow, I really enjoyed reading. Claimed by my brother's best friends!! So much steamy goodness wrapped up in one book. Not one bad ass sexy biker, not two bad ass sexy bikers, but three all for one girl oh my!!!
I am so glad that this story was made into books! I started reading on a way too expensive app and was hooked! I honestly couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait to read the next books!
The feeling between characters just seems like going through the motions and not really having a connection. I won’t continue on didn’t pull me in enough.
