Sisters Bound by Blood #1
Branded: Savannah
Branded: Savannah
Her father told everyone that her older sister ran away. Savannah knew better. She was there the day the man came to get Jade. The day he paid her father. That’s how she knew what was about to happen to her.
Savannah tried to run back home. Her little sister needed her. Marco’s men found her and brought her back. That night Marco branded her with his initials so she wouldn’t forget who owned her. She didn’t think her life could get any worse, but she was wrong.
Five Years later:
Breaker only stopped at the roadside diner for a bite to eat. He was tired, and just coming off a government assignment, and maybe a little less cautious. While he ate, the woman slipped into his car and hid in the backseat.
What he knew for certain: she was scared, she was beautiful, and she was a liar. He didn’t believe a word she told him about trying to get to New Orleans because her mother had been in a bad car wreck. But when two thugs catch up with them to return Savannah to their drug cartel boss, and attempt to kill him, he quickly ends the threat.
Now he’s helping another stray, except this time it’s different. Breaker wants to wipe away the pain he sees lurking deep in her eyes. He wants to heal her wounds.
But when the only way he can save her from the obsessed Marco is to take her deep into the Louisiana swamps where he grew up, can he face his own dark past?

This is a new author for me! One I will not be soon forgetting. So let me say this; I want MORE from this author and I am not afraid to tell her! Not only has she blown me away with this book but she has forever got my support! Miss Kelley has written a story that grabbed me and held on. I was surprised with the way Breaker handled Savannah after being through what she has gone through the only recourse is to protect. It is in his genes and not only has he been through his own tragedies he knows he is the only one that has the capabilities to do what need to be done. Marco has no clue what he is up against but he does want his so called property back and will go to any means necessary to obtain his obsession. Now this is not for the faint of heart and it has some major triggers but Miss Kelley has a knack at putting it all together and making it work. She has got a faithful reader from here on out and I know that whatever she writes I will read. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! It has aspects about it that will grab you and entice you and even make you scream with hatred and cry tears of joy. But I warn you it will have shaking and wanting to throw you reading device at some points. So get ready for a major rollercoaster ride and put yourself within the pages of this book. It will definitely be one that you will want to come back to!

Fortunately, she sneaked into Breaker’s vehicle in the parking lot, the one man most able to help in her dangerous situation. He has Special Ops skills and training that make him the perfect protector for Savannah when Marco wants to recover his property and take his revenge. Breaker was aware she was in his vehicle as soon as he got into the driver’s seat. But he drives down the road a ways, then pulls over telling her to come up front. She lies to him but he knows it’s a lie, yet is willing to take her to Louisiana. He believes he is being followed and asks her if she has more to tell him, so she tells him what they are facing. Marco is cruel and dangerous and not willing to give up and allow her freedom. Will Breaker protect and help her? Can he truly rescue her from the crazed crime lord? Or will the killer relentlessly pursue her forever?
This book is filled with suspense and danger. This is Savannah’s story – her two missing sisters will have their own tale to tell. Is there hope for Savannah finally becoming free? Could she find a HEA with Breaker if they survive?

There are no other words to explain this book - just "Wow". What an riveting emotional rollercoaster with some serious karma at the end. I loved the integration of the Cajun culture and the gators made for some fun light hearted reading between the emotional memories that Savannah recalls. Breaker is a hero in his own category, the man lives and breathes savior and protector of everyone he comes across. His trying to save Savanah and giving her a choice and her freedom was an aww moment and cracks you up at the same time. The chemistry and love between Savanah and Breaker was believable and I commend the author for not making it instantly and rather lead into it as Savannah learns to trust and live again. So much more believable and easy to relate too.
The author did an amazing job of balancing the dark emotional trauma that Savannah must have experienced, there are some memory recalls but nothing in too much depth just enough to give the reader a glimpse into the the dark world she was subjected too with some great family times and light hearted banter. A book you can read and enjoy more than once and worth adding to your library permanently. Excited to read about the other sisters.

This book needs a disclaimer, do not start before bed or if you have a schedule to follow. Holy moly, I started it before bed and figured I would only a few chapters, but I was instantly hooked and couldn't put this story down. Savannah is a beautiful young girl who was dealt a crappy deck of cards in life. Her dad is an abusive drunk and doesn't care about whether his girls eat. He eventually sells Savannah to a man for money for alcohol. Savannah tries to run and is then branded by the man who bought her to remind her whom she belongs to. Savannah spends 5 agonizing years keeping her master happy, but eventually decides she will run. She is able to escape and runs to a gas station where she meets Breaker. Breaker is a retired special forces member and likes to help people. When Savannah and Breaker's paths cross, we follow their journey to safety, freedom, learning to trust again, love, and even danger. Savannah doesn't have an easy path, but her journey is worth the bumps in the road. This book is amazing filled with suspense, great secondary characters, and even a little steam. I would highly recommend this book!

Savannah and her little sister lived with their father after the death of their mother. They used to have an older sister at home.
A bit of mystery surrounds the eldest sister until it becomes clear that their father sold her, just as he plans to do with Savannah at fourteen
Five years as the branded personal property of Marcos destroys most of her personality and independence. A chance encounter with a man known as Breaker finds Savannah at home with others her rescued from the streets.
Savannah is a bit different for Breaker though he doesn’t trust his feelings for her, and doesn’t want to limit her choices as the trafficker Marcos did
Can Breaker and Savannah really move past the darkness of their earlier lives? Is it too late for them to do that together?
Intense drama, action and emotionally charged issues related to surviving various traumatic pasts

Stopped at 26%…
The opening tension is gripping, and the female protagonist’s effort to escape her terrible predicament is engaging.
The male protagonist seems like a great guy, but he seems too old for the heroine, who’s had her innocence stolen. She’ll need lots of therapy.
The secondary characters, who are friends of the hero, have fun personalities and depth (well-developed backstories). I enjoyed reading about them.
The main reason I lost interest in finishing the book is the stereotypical bad guy(s). Reading sections from the antagonist’s POV echoed lot of action movie villains. Creepy, pathologically violent, and predictably stalkerish in a somewhat non-believable way. Maybe if the heroine knew too much about the drug dealers? But this isn’t mentioned (yet, anyway).
Maybe as an action movie, with no romance but a hunky hero who saves young girls and kills the bad guys, I’d finish the story. As a novel, I want more depth and nuance.

Damn, this was an outstanding read, one that once I started, I didn’t want to put down. At the age of 14, Savannah alcoholic father sold her to Marco, the head of a drug cartel for $5000. He had also sold her older sister, Jade, at that age too. When she tried to run away and one of his men found her and brought her back, he branded her with his initials so she would always know who owned her. Five years later, she got her chance to escape again and ended up hiding in the back of Breakers car. He was known for picking up strays, but he also worked for the government as a special operative. A great storyline and wonderful characters you can’t help but fall 8n love with. I loved this book and can’t wait to read more in this series.

This book is about a young girl named Savannah whose father sells her to an evil man named Marco who works for a drug cartel. She is a prisoner for five years before she is able to escape and is rescued by a man nicknamed Breaker who works for the government doing secret op jobs, so he is well trained and able to protect Savannah when Marco comes after her wanting revenge. There is a lot of excitement and danger, especially toward the end (though the middle of the book was a little long), and the reader is left to hope that Savannah and Breaker will be able to stay safe, stop Marco, and have an HEA. I highly recommend this book!

This was an exciting and fantastic read that had me flipping through pages as fast as I could to see what happens next. The story was wonderfully woven, creating a tale that allows you to understand through past experiences why the characters were who they were currently in the story. The plot was great and flowed smoothly, the main and secondary characters were beautifully crafted and supported the story as it moved along. I was quite happy with this story and am eagerly waiting for the sequel.
I give this a five out of five stars. The plot and characters were fantastic and I can’t wait for the next story.

This is the start of a series and if the others are as good as the first I am all in. This is Savannah's story. She is sold by her father, like Jade her sister before her. When they come for her she tries to get back to her younger sister. Savannah has been sold to Marco the head of a drug cartel. Savannah has many tough years and runs. She ends up in the backseat of Breaker's car. This is a dark story, some of the events are just glossed over and not too graphic. This is a well written rollercoaster ride that keeps you on your toes and on the edge of your seat. The characters were very well developed and their interaction was wonderful. I cannot wait for the other books. Great book.

lots of potential
This trilogy of sisters with a horrific father who sold each of them into slavery could have been a great series. But this book is a one and done for me.
My biggest problem is that Savannah is only 19 when she gets away from her captor and we are never told how old Breaker is. He was in the army and then became special forces and now worked private government jobs. He must be approaching 30. So his relationship with this girl who has been sexually abused since 14 just seems very wrong. And since all 3 sisters are close in age it’s safe to assume they’re all going to be very young to believe any HEA.
And Savannah needs psychological help after her ordeal.

I received a free copy of the steamy novel Branded: Sisters Bound by Blood: Book One: Savannah by Karen Kelley and this review was given freely.
Action packed and at times suspenseful, the middle Harris sister Savannah begins the poignant three part story of the three abused Harris sisters who were sold as young teenagers by their self centered, abusive and alcoholic father to fund his habit and, the uplifting and at times danger filled struggle towards love, family and reunion.
5 years after being sold into slavery to the obsessive Texas drug dealer Marco Sanchez, Savannah finds herself hiding in bar owner/Special Ops agent Breakers car and heading to Louisiana.

Three Sisters torn apart in such a cruel way. Incomprehensible to most. Savannah's on her own. Running from a monster. She knows little about the world now, but luckily for her, out of all the people she could have run into, its Breaker. A warrior and protector. One day she and her sisters will all be together again, but for now she's just trying to save her own life. Seriously sha, when this hot Cajun man drags her off into the swamps, for the first time she feels completely safe. Can't wait to read the next one.

What Constitutes a Family?
Various types of "family" relationships are touched on in this novel, including not only those bound by blood ties but other types of ties as well, including psychological. Spoiler alert... This theme includes the antagonist as well, but to a much lesser degree than the protagonists. Sweet and tender romance that other characters orbit around, elements of danger and suspense. Deals sensitively but directly and realistically with the subject of sexual trafficking. Any more details would be additional spoilers. I look forward to reading more by this author!

This book was very intense, but very good! Poor Savannah, her fate in her life almost broke my heart and I do t see how a father can do that to your child. When she climbs into Breaker‘s car to hide, it really starts a new chapter in her life. I really enjoyed Breaker‘s character and the strong, protective personality that he shows. Can he save her? Maybe even love her? This plot has just about everything one could look for—suspense, drama, romance and angst. I would definitely recommend it

Savannah was sold to a ruthless drug dealer by her dad when she was only 14 years old. When she tried running away the first night after her arrival and got caught he branded her with his name. For 5 years she bided her time until getting an opportunity for her escape. Could she dare hope that her crossing paths with Breaker may be saving her life and open the doorway to a future without fear and freedom? But will she ever be free of Marco as Breaker promised?

A DEFINITE READ! COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN!
This story had romance, action, excitement, great characters and classy love making scenes that weren’t trashy and over graphic but were just enough to feel the passion between the characters. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading it. I am a new fan of Karen Kelley’s writing and I find myself excited to embark on the next adventure. BRAVO KAREN! Thank you for the great entertainment and for creating a great world to get lost in. I don’t give a “5” lightly. It is well deserved here.

New author to me. Dark subject matter. But I liked this very much.
So. Much. Evil in the world. Evil parents. Evil men who think they can own girls and brand them.
And then there is Breaker and his men. The truly good guys. And the small family he’s built at his bar from the strays he has helped.
I especially liked the scenes set in the swamps. Cajun culture and family.
Savannah and her sisters are going to be a good trilogy.

This was very emotional book, it also is a very difficult read in some ways. I wasn't sure about it at first however I am very glad that I did. It makes you think about things that happen that no one wants to talk about. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed the plot. Besides it being in third person (not a fan) I felt like some of the things that happened were random. I also felt like Breaker was double her age but they didn’t even say how old he was. I felt savannah was older than 19 too. It was kind of over dramatic at times too. I really wanted to like it but felt myself rushing to get it over with unfortunately.

Branded, Savannah's story
Oh my! I love this story. Horrible things happen but nothing too graphic or explicit. It is left up to the readers imagination. I particularly like the way people step up to help, even when they don't have to. The way the relatives gather in the swamp is great.
