LOVE IS A WILD RIDE.
After enduring months of torture at the hands of the Black Jacks MC, and betrayed by his own club, Holt “T-Rex” Savage, a junior member of the Sinner’s Tribe Motorcycle Club, will stop at nothing to get revenge. But falling for a beautiful woman with dangerous ties to his sworn enemy was never part of the plan…
Raised by the Black Jacks, Naiya Kelly grew up fast, furiously, and with little to lose. But now that she’s put her MC days behind her, she is free to do what she wants—until she meets a man who imprisons her, body and soul. She swore she’d never give her heart to a biker, but Holt is the most passionate, protective man she’s ever known. But will Holt be forced to betray his one true love to exact his revenge?

REVIEW: CHAOS BOUND is the fourth installment in Sarah Castille’s contemporary, adult SINNERS’ TRIBE MOTORYCLE CLUB erotic, romance, MC series focusing on the men and women of the Sinner’s Tribe MC. This is Sinner’s Tribe MC member Holt (T-Rex) Savage, and forensic pathologist Naiya Kelly. CHAOS BOUND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from several third person perspectives CHAOS BOUND follows the imprisonment, torture and subsequent rescue of Holt Savage-T Rex to his fellow Sinner’s Tribe MC brothers-and a man h*ll bent on revenge against the Black Jack MC, and the Sinner’s for ‘leaving’ him behind. For three months Holt has been locked in the Black Jack’s dungeon where the daily torture and brutal beatings have left our hero a broken man. Enter Naiya Kelly, a twenty two year old woman who finds herself imprisoned along with Holt, but a woman determined to save them both. What ensues is Holt’s recovery and plans for revenge, while falling for the woman who may be more trouble than is worth.
CHAOS BOUND focuses on two people whose lives have been destroyed by the Black Jack MC. Raised by her drug addicted mother, Naiya found herself thrust into the world of the motorcycle clubs at an early age. But her mother’s death taught her one thing- a debt must be paid in full whether the person is alive or not. With Naiya by his side, Holt is determined to destroy Viper Wilder, once and for all.
The relationship between Holt and Naiya begins as co-victims of a sadistic and evil mind. Their flight to freedom involves Holt’s recovery and his need to destroy that which destroyed his body and mind. While Holt needs Naiya in his life, he is determined to push her away to protect her from the life that she has resolved to escape. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many members of the Sinner’s Tribe MC –Jagger, Shaggy, Dax, Gunner, Sparky, new prospect and former sheriff Benson and Holt’s best friend James ‘Tank’ Evans who always believed that Holt would make it out alive. The Black Jack MC is represented by their president Viper Wilder whose fixation on Naiya is dangerous and dark. We are also introduced to Naiya’s best friend Ally, Ally’s husband and police officer Doug, and Naiya’s ex boyfriend Michael.
The world building continues to focus on the dark side of the MC life: the violence, the $ex, the drugs and the guns. Many women are commodities-traded for favors and $ex-but sometimes a woman is the heart and the soul of the biker’s world.
CHAOS BOUND is an emotional and heartbreaking story. T-Rex (aka Holt) is broken both inside and out; his sleep is riddled with nightmares, his days are stolen by memories and pain. The premise is a story of revenge and retribution; the characters are colorful, animated and inspiring; the romance is a second chance at life, love and a happily ever after.
I did have a couple of issues. Holt’s ability to virtually heal over night. It should have taken days to weeks to physically heal from the beatings and abuse. And the heroine’s claim she was on the birth control pill so the lack of condoms was okay, yet she had to leave her purse and everything behind while she and Holt were on the run and in hiding……so, where did she get the BC pills? Is it just me ??

“Is this because of what happened last night?” Holt wasn’t usually so direct. He had never been a confrontational kind of guy. Usually, he would go with the flow, but right now he was seized by an urgent sense of desperation. He couldn’t let her go, and it wasn’t just because he needed her to lure Viper.
“No, of course not.” She turned away, tightening her grip on the bag, her hair swinging over her cheek, hiding her face.
Yes.
“It was good you . . . stopped.” She stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows over the valley spread out below them. “I mean, you have things you have to do, and I have things I have to do, and they aren’t things we need to do . . . together.”
Together. Fuck. She’d thought about them together. Although he was pretty damn sure she hadn’t thought of them together the way he had all fucking night long.
“Naiya.”
“I made breakfast. It’s on the stove.” She slung the bag over her shoulder. “Happy revenge.”
No fucking way. “It’s not safe out there.”
“It’s not safe in here.”
“I couldn’t be gentle with you,” he said. “I’m a hard man, Naiya, and the shit I just went through just made me harder. I don’t have sex. I don’t make love. I fuck. And when I do, it’s hard and it’s rough, and that’s not what you need.”
“You don’t know me.” Her face tightened. “You don’t know what I need.”
The hell he didn’t. He could read the longing on her face; he could hear it in her voice. It was the same longing that had gripped him since he met her. The old Holt would have let her walk out the door because it’s what she wanted to do, and who was he to rock the boat? He didn’t know where that Holt had gone, but the man he was now was not letting her get away.
Without taking his gaze off her, he ripped the bag from her fingers and tossed it on the couch. Then he cupped her face between his hands and covered her mouth with his.
Ah God. Her lips were as soft as he imagined, her mouth as lush. Her lips parted on a sigh, and he touched her with his tongue. She tasted of honey and coffee, warm and sweet. He wanted her, wanted this woman with the broken soul, wanted to fix her, show her the beauty of trust and surrender, open her up and fill her with joy. Yeah, he wanted to fuck her bad.
“Holt.” She pulled back, her chest heaving. “I don’t want this. I just broke up with Maurice. We were together two years. It just feels . . . wrong.”
Didn’t feel wrong to him. In fact, nothing had ever felt so right. He tagged her with an arm around her waist and crushed her against him, the way he’d seen Jagger and Cade do with their women, the way he’d seen Tank with Connie. Dominant. Controlling. And damn it felt good. Taking what he wanted. Being in charge.
And yet at the back of his mind, he was assessing her responses, the way she leaned into him, her soft sigh, the flutter of her lashes, and the little hints that told him she was on board and that he wasn’t stepping over the line. He had a strong feeling Viper had crossed that line, and if he caught her, he would cross it again.
Naiya leaned in, melted against him. Pleasure rippled through his body, and his cock hardened in an instant. He dipped his head, drank her down, delighting when she moaned and tangled her tongue with his.
She broke away again, her lips plump and swollen from his kiss. “I should go . . . I was just leaving . . .”
Deeper. Rougher. He slid one hand through her hair, tugged her head back, and held her still as he fed off her hidden desire. Her hands came up, pressed against his chest. Holt tensed, thinking she would push him away. Instead, her arms wrapped around his neck and she pulled him closer, straining upward as she kissed him back with a passion that belied her words. She wasn’t leaving. Not now.
Not ever.
