UnChain Me

Savage Beast MC #3

by Hayley Faiman

Nineteen-year-old Bellarosa has lived the past three years locked away in a tower, freedom, being only a myth she could fantasize about.

She has tried to break free of her chains but has failed at every attempt. That is, until a friend turns a blind eye and allows for her to escape her confines.

The president of the Savage Beast MC is no easy role to play. Neither is being a single father. His focus has always been his club and his daughter.

At almost forty, Dragon is convinced he will never find a woman to call his own, not unless he buys her.
Both lost souls searching for freedom. Both stumbling upon one another. Unsure if they can trust each other. She searches for happily ever after. He will never be her prince charming.

When two people who learn to trust despite their pasts come together, they become an unstoppable force, something that not even the devil could split apart.

5 “ Drago & Fragolina “ stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Slowly I lift my head, my eyes crashing with gray ones that cause my knees to weaken.
My breath hitches without my being aware of it.
He’s the most beautiful man I have ever seen. He’s rugged and rough, nothing that I have ever been exposed to in my entire life.

My mind is blown, there was so much action in this book that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. The drama, the romance, the sexy times, everything was perfect. Best in the series so far.

Dragon is the president of the savage beasts MC, every bit the alpha that I expected him to be. With the way he played part in the previous couples stories, I eagerly wanted to read his book next. He’s intense, dominating and also with a good heart. When he first meets Bellarosa, he instantly feels attractive towards her and wants her for himself.

We mer Bella in the Zanetti famiglia series, where she worked as a high class call girl, I didn’t like her that much with the way she acted. Though, after learning about her past and what she sacrificed, I could sympathise with her. She deserved a better life. She ends up on Dragon’s radar when she escapes from the famiglia and comes at savage beasts MC. All she wanted was her freedom but looks like life had other plans.

She was just as attracted to him as he was to her and knows there’s not escape. She thought that dragon was just like other guys she met in her past but he proves her differently. He gives her freedom in his own way. He didn’t let her go but he still protected her, cared for her and loved her.

They can’t have you, Bellarosa. I don’t know what we have or why. All I know is that you were brought to me to protect. You were brought to me to own, and I’ll do that any and every way that I can. I will kill for you, to keep you right here with me. I’ve never had anyone like you before and I have no intention of giving you up.

There was instant chemistry. There journey definitely wasn’t easy. Since she escaped from the mafia, there’s no way to not have any drama and I enjoyed the crossover so much with Gavino. Then there was also the kidnapping, the crazy ex but it all worked out in the end.

It had everything that you have come to expect from Hayley’s books. I can’t wait for the other books to come out. ♥️

This book had my head all over the place!
First was Bellarosa. We met her in previous books and I honestly didn't care for her. But as I learned her story, saw her situation and watched her character develop I started to love her and when I saw how she was with a sweet girl she won me over.
Now Dragon. He was an A$$HOLE (Hayley Faimans specialty) He was a dirty manwhore MC President. I wanted to hate him but truth be told I was falling just as fast as Bellarosa.
Theirs was an ugly rough love story! They went through so much.
But this author has a way with words. What started as a bit dark messy story finished with a heartwarming teary eyed epilogue.

[Britt Chaotic Creatives · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not gonna lie, I wasn’t Bellarosa’s biggest fan after meeting her in another book. I felt for her, but I was never rooting for her. Until I started reading Unchain Me. Her story is heartbreaking, her strength is immeasurable, and after getting to know the person she is I’m left in awe of her. I can’t even fathom how I’d act in any of the situations she was in, but I do know I wouldn’t be have as brave or nearly as strong as her.
Escaping from one cage to what appears to be another she never gives up hope on freedom. But the intense and immediate chemistry between her and Dragon begins to change what freedom really means. As with many of Hayley Faiman’s MC books Unchain me is not for the faint of heart. This is not a light or sweet MC read. Dragon and Bellarosa’s story is more than gritty. It’s dark, it’s raw and it’s brutally beautiful.

A little MC and Mafia

Oh my Dragon might be a hard ass but he has a big heart too.

Bella sold to the Mafia at age 16 so her family has a chance. After a few years she comes into contact with Dragon who is immediately infatuated with her. What happens when the Mafia comes to claim her back?

So many twists and turns on their way. Now I'm curious as to what will happen with Della.

[Sharrice · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is just too rapey for me. Way too many triggers for me and the fact that the book is 100% okay with it is not something I can like.

[Keeana Estrada · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an action packed, suspenseful MC romance that will have you on the edge of your seat. No one writes Alpha assholes like Hayley Faiman...

This book had me hooked from page one... Dragon has became my ultimate book boyfriend that man is everything..

I can’t wait to see what else Mrs Faiman has in store for us...

“6 Stars!”

3.5 Dragon Was A Miss

Like I've said before, there are some of Hayley Faiman's MC boys I like and others I have a hard time clicking with. Dragon, like Wolf, was the latter, very hard for me to like his character.

Dragon is the president of the Savage Beasts MC, no Old Lady and a nine year old daughter to take care of. He's a gruff S.O.B. with terrible choices when it comes to women, so he sticks with the club whores. What a great guy. Not.

We met Bellarosa briefly in UnBreak me. She is only nineteen, however has been forced to grow up beyond her years. She thinks she's made the perfect escape, unfortunately couldn't be more wrong once she lands at the feet of Dragon.

I didn't like Dragon from the get go and unlike some of the boys from the previous books, he didn't grow on me or turn himself around the way I wanted him to. He was an a-hole from start to finish that didn't deserve a girl as sweet as Bellarosa. Who was also hard to like as the story went on. I felt sorry for her on one hand, then on the other wanted her to take her chances and run away from it all.

As with the other books in the series, there is insta-love (lust) and some MC business that needs handled, all the while a relationship of some sort is forming. One thing I like about Hayley Faiman's series, is she keeps us in touch with all of the other characters from the previous storylines.

The book is well written with lots and lots of sex scenes. So many that I started to skim as I felt it was getting too creepy at some points. I'm all for an age gap, however not with these characters for some reason. UnChain me was a nice addition to the series, not really my cup of tea this time around.

Reviewed for Renee Entress's Blog.

I did not like Dragon, he was awful. While she was being kidnapped he was getting so drunk he passed out and then tried to rationalize it by saying it was club business (triple eyerolls). He acted so immature for his age. Let me sum up how Dragon is with someone he loves(eyeroll).

Bella walks in when he is hugging another woman, she gets upset and he thinks to himself. "If she is this upset about me hugging another woman what is she going to do when I f**k the club whores." Again, he has decided he loves Bella, yet already plans to screw around on her. Great guy right?

Another scene: Bella has been rescued and has been stabbed, Dragon who someone has to wake up from his drinking induced sleep rushes to her. When he gets into the room where she is bleeding in the bed, there is a naked woman(another story) standing there. He thinks to himself "Bones wife is standing there completely naked, I wish I had time to look my feel, but I can't, Bella is in the bed hurt."

These are just a few examples of how vile his is. What kind of man even thinks crap like this when the woman he loves is possibly dying? Bella deserved so much better than Dragon. In my fantasy book ending she ran far away from Dragon and found a man who truly loves her.

Book Name/Series: UnChain Me (Savage Beast MC Book 3)
Author: Hayley Faiman

DNF at: 13%
Why: This book was way too messed up and dark for me and I really didn’t like the hero or heroine. The hero has sex with a woman (not the heroine) and pays her in drugs. He then gets her pregnant unintentionally and then decides that despite her being an addict and hating her, he’s going to keep her around so she can be in the child’s life. He berates her for being an addict but it’s him supplying her the drugs in the first place. He also gets pissed about her sleeping with other men, but he’s allowed to sleep with whoever he wants. Despite him hating her and wanting her dead, he still sleeps with her. Before making her leave town he hits her after he’s forced her to give him a blowjob with a gun to her head.

At 16, the heroine was sold by her mother to become a prostitute. She falls in love with her owner (not the hero) even though he is cruel to her and makes her have sex with men that abuse her.

Not a sweet love story


I read this via my ku subscription and am leaving my review voluntarily. It is book 3 in a series. It is a dark MC storyline.

Triggers:
kidnapping, murder, torture

Spoilers:
Dragon, President of the MC. single dad. Lives his life on his own terms. Women, parties, violence. When his guys bring a girl half his age to the clubhouse, he is intrigued.

Bella, sold by her mom to a local mafia brothel she is held captive for over 3 years. She wants to escape and when the MC guys are leaving the brothel, she hides out in their truck. 

Drama, violence, lots of sexy time. HEA

Sigh

Insta love gone crazy. So we see our dark, hard prez fall in love virtually at first sight.

Pathetic

Cant say I enjoyed this book tbh.

This series is going downhill with each book.

Formulaic and predictable with uninspiring meh sex scenes. I mean seriously these women must have kevlar vaginas!!!

And oh if only a man of this age could get it up so much every day without blue pills!

As for Bella getting pregnant? She has tge implant which releases hormones, even after several weeks her body wouldnt be ready to get pregnant it can takes months to get out the system. By their timekine it was around a month a most which frankly is ridiculous

Skimmee to the end

I LOVED this one!!

This review will contain spoilers…,

This is my favorite book in this series. I absolutely loved Dragon and Bella together. My God, their chemistry together is so utterly intense from the very instant they first lay eyes on each other. Dragon was so cruel to her at first and it just gutted me. I actually cried for her lol (and it takes a lot to make me cry). But once he realizes that he wants her for himself, there was no stopping him. There was really no cheating in this one (Thank God!). I loved the relationship between Bella and his daughter Kora. There’s plenty of suspense in this book—and I absolutely loved the ending.

[Tammy Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

MC Romance, single dad, huge age gap equals gold for me! This book has everything I love in a romance and Hayley doesn't disappoint. These two have each lived different life experiences but the attraction and chemistry between them is scorching hot!! This isn't a flowery romance by any means but it's real and you'll probably yell and get mad at Dragon BUT by the end you'll love these two!! The storylines in this series is true MC and I love it. I can't wait to read more.

[Kristi · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved Bella and her story was quite sad to me. This was just a cluster of epic proportions! Dragon was a little much for me. I don’t know if it’s the MC that I’m not diggin or what but this was just ok for me. I liked the whole plot line and the characters but sometimes things just got a little too repetitive for me. I’ve noticed this in the last few books I’ve read from this author. All in all it was good.

Angst⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cheating None

Dragons Turn

3rd book for Savage Beast MC. And it's the President, Dragon himself.
Bellarosa is our heroine and even though she's only 19 she's had shit to deal with in her short life.

Familiar characters from both Savage Beast as well as the Zanetti Familiga.

I liked this one more than the previous 2. Although geez there was drama all over the place!

Yes. There is a HEA but there is also some scenes where the H has an OW.
Overall it was a good read

[Josella Lopez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hayley has written another fabulous book

Dragon sees Bella and wants her. She's been through hell and back. Dragon also is carrying around a secret about his background. This book captures all the points I like in a book. I couldn't put it down. I think this book should be given more than 5 stars. I highly recommend that you read this very well written book.

[Zaikenya Chatman · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not for me

I can’t go for a girl then woman being made to prostitute, then the lead guy treats her like crap. Prostitution is a no for me.

A Brutal, Heart Pounding Continuation of the Savage Beast MC Saga...

“Unchain Me” is the third installment of Hayley Faiman’s “Savage Beast MC” series. It is the story of Dragon and Bellarosa. You may remember Bella as the young teenage girl we met briefly in Wolfe and Esther’s story. A girl sold into sexual slavery by her own mother at the age of sixteen. A now nineteen year old young woman desperate to escape the tortured existence she lives day-to-day at the hands of the mafia family controlling her life and every move. And Dragon, the fierce, brutal, and emotionally closed off president of the Savage Beast MC. A man with a violent and shadowy past; a past that affords him the unique ability to understand Bellarosa's situation better than any other.

What follows is yet another enormously emotional and action packed tale of life within this MC. And more specifically, the realm where the criminal underworlds of the mafia and MC intersect. A world where women are commodities bought and sold like cattle. A world where freedom isn't really free, and often comes at a cost paid in blood and extreme pain. It is also another literary exploration of the inner strength it takes to repair the emotional damage inflicted by a violent, captive life. And how it often takes someone as damaged as we are to not only see us down to the very meat of our souls, but also afford us the space and understanding needed to fully heal.

It is another beautiful, powerfully poignant portrayal of love, personal growth, and second chances at happiness by Faiman. Here, once again, she writes characters that are gritty, complex, and real. Characters who live lives of danger and mayhem, and through their eyes provide a glimpse into a world beyond anything you have ever known. Through Bellarosa, Faiman illustrates the atrocities heaped upon women existing in this dark world. With Dragon she lets you see further into this darkness through the lens of his "Pres" eyes. Here you see his knowledge of the life, his perception of the other old ladies, you see his insights into the other brothers, their love and interaction with their women, and you see the pain and responsibility that rests on his shoulders alone as the leader of the MC.

It is with this author's unique, perceptive style that you see how Dragon carries the weight of everything around him, and how that affects his ability to interact with those he holds dear, how it hinders, almost cripples his ability to love freely and openly. Just as you see how the life cripples Bellarosa's ability to trust, and how it erodes her self image and worth to that of "product" rather than human being. It is a solemn, gut punching glimpse at the entire world surrounding the MC, including all the parts and paths that intersect and interact with it.

Sadly though, I again wish, as I have with the other installments of this series, that Bellarosa's growth weren't presented in such a stunted manner. I again wish that Faiman would afford her female leads the same depth and growth arc that she gives the males. I personally feel it would provide a better transitional sense to the reader of Dragon and Bellarosa's journey from start to finish. The hop and skip nature of some of the personal details between the two definitely leaves you yearning for more. 

However beyond that, the author once again creates a sensational story world here. A landscape that does not romanticize what the MC and everything connected to it represents. It is a violent, at times overwhelming portrayal containing brutal scenes of sexual assault, abuse, violence, and other scenarios some may find deeply disturbing or unsettling. However it is also a deeply beautiful story of unwavering inner strength, bravery, loyalty, redemption and love that will assault your senses, haunt your dreams, and touch your very soul.

[E Williams · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wanted to read this because I remember Bellarosa's story from the Zanetti books and felt so sad for her. When her Mafia father is deemed a traitor & killed, while her two younger sisters are sent to live with an aunt, 16 year old schoolgirl Bellarosa is sold into forced prostitution at a Mafia brothel. At 19 she falls in love with the new boss Gavino (the so-called "hero" 🤢 of the first Zanetti book). She asks if she can become his mistress (although he's recently married) so that she can escape the brothel but he refuses. Even though he has stopped the trafficking organised by his predecessor he still won't free her even when she is anally raped by a client but says he will trade her off to the Russian Mafia instead where she will "have a good life" - still as a prostitute! In this book he threatens to turn Bellarosa's younger sisters into prostitutes as well. I really hated the misogyny of the Zanettis and even though Bellarosa was forced into sex slavery everyone treated her as though she was just one of the prostitutes who had chosen the life, not an innocent girl given no choice and kept prisoner.

This book is about what happens when she finally gets her chance to escape.

I love Bellarosa, while she tends to remain sexually subservient due to her background, she was incredibly strong in every other way given all the horror she'd been through and she really deserved to have the best life possible to make up for that. Unfortunately she still doesn't end up with that. Drago is not that great really but he's better than she's had so far .

Wasn't impressed with Drago. He treated his first girlfriend badly, complained about her drug addiction but still fed her drugs instead of trying to help her, especially since they had a child. Like all the leading men in these books he's a misogynistic asshole.

TBH I only read this book because I wanted to fill in the gaps in the Bellarosa's story so I doubt I'll read any of the others.

[Wendy Douglas · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fresh idea, the young heroine's background and the very jaded and much older hero. The characterization was honest, gritty, and stayed true to character. I appreciated that so much as a strength in the book.

As a prez of an MC, though, Dragon was pretty inept. He was surprised too often by people -- women -- who caught him off guard. He didn't do a deep background check on his babysitter? Hadn't been keeping tabs on his baby mama? Sorry, but that is NOT the mark of a savvy biker. He was presented as being far more "with it" as a secondary character in the other books, which made this a disappointment for me.

As always, the poor quality editing was troublesome and disappointing. It's always the same issues, so I no longer expect an improvement book to book.

[Millaray · Rating 1 out of 5]

Este es el segundo libro de esta saga que leo y tal como el primero creo que no es una historia romántica propiamente tal. He leído mucho dark romance y este creo que no lo es. Creo que hay una linea tenue entre lo que se puede permitir en nombre de un romance. Este va más allá. No me creí para nada la "historia de amor" quizás porque te llenan el libro de porno escrito y cuando van a conversar y conocerse empieza la acción y luego más porno escrito, luego más drama y listo. Se acabó el libro. Cuando hablamos de "misoginia" en la literatura no solo debemos pensar en la relación entre protagonistas sino como muestran a las mujeres personajes secundarios, en este libro son violadas, manipuladas y asesinadas. Todo porque sí.

[Brandi-Lynn Weiser · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite one so far!! I absolutely loved Dragon. He’s definitely going on my list as one of the good guys in the series- and faithful too! I was so excited for his story ever since I saw him in book 1, and couldn’t wait to get to his and Bella’s book. I loved the age gap, and how possessive and protective he was of her. He was also an amazing father. There was a moment when he kinda messed up, but since they had literally just met, I didn’t hold it against him. He was so gone for Bella, and it was great seeing. And after everything Bella had been through she truly deserved to be free and happy, and she got so much more with Dragon.
This was an excellent story, had me hooked instantly and I couldn’t put it down.

Wow, this story broke my heart but I loved it. Bellarosa and Dragon are such a fiery couple. I loved their story but what they went through broke my heart. I love these rough and rugged MC men and Dragon the leader of them all, he is seriously hot. This series is very interesting and there is so much happening. I can't wait for more.

[Maggie · Rating 1 out of 5]

This series is just gross. Every woman is either a forced whore (literally) or TSTL or both. There is very little story to any of these books and mostly unending ridiculous smexing. On & on for pages and pages are mostly icky sex scenes with the woman, no matter what trauma she's had, ALWAYS wanting sex w/the Zero - and the H's are truly Zeros in this series. If you enjoy reading about jizz being spread everywhere and women who don't wash afterwards, then enjoy this series.
ICK!!!

Decent read

Dragon isn’t the most lovable book Boyfriend. Of course he had his flaws, but there were too many for me to actually like him like him.

Bellarosa is the damsel in distress in every way possible. I liked her for Kora, their bonding was great to see.

Lots of spice and some heart here.

It has really dark and scary moments but each book ends with happy ending.
