*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Another great installment to this incredible MC romance series though in case in you were wondering each can be read a stand alone they are just so much better in order. We finally get to dive deep into Chains’ world for this new installment as he grapples with his feelings for his foster sister as well as the ghost of his past. The two worlds collide in a brilliant explosion that will quickly pull you down the dark rabbit hole as the story progresses. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though as the two of them work things out while taking out all of the bad guys. We get a few intriguing changes to the club members as well which could make things quite interesting in future installments. A perfect read for fans of MC romance novels. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
Of all the books in the series Chains story is the most brutal. Brutal because of what happened to him before he escaped and found love and family with Bex. Their connection was instant and remained in place through 19 years as they fought their feelings. Him terrified he would loose the family he had come to rely and depend on. Her terrified how it would be excepted he was her foster brother after all. But the two of them isn’t the only story here and this action packed read will take Chains back emotionally and physically to where it all began, now he just has to survive it. I don’t get the title unless it’s in reference to Bex and Chains accepting their love is true and moving forward. I have enjoyed reading the series even with the author clearly mixing up the lingo and causing me numerous times throughout the series to have to remember it’s in Chicago not down under.
This is the fifth book in this phenomenal series and is Chains and Bex’s turn. Chains has had the most horrific and sadistic childhood from which he managed to escape at 16, where he was saved by an angel called Bex and her family. Now as an adult he is plagued with nightly nightmare resulting from his childhood, and his best friend he left behind. Chains and Bex have always been close and it is no different now, but can they continue to deny the intense chemistry between them? No spoilers, this is a must read for all MC lovers, you will not be disappointed! This is a well written story which is intense, gritty, heartbreaking, emotional, violent, and with redemption and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner and I cannot wait to read more from this extremely talented author, whose work I highly recommend.
This is the story of Chains and Bex. In it, we look at his early life and the friend he left behind before Bex and her family took him in. He still suffers dreadful nightmares and frustration This is definitely a clash between his past and the present where the ghosts of the past have to be tackled in order for him to find the possibility of the future that he wants. Can these two souls find their connection, Chains move on from his past and find acceptance with the woman he loves?
treachery, misery, and brutality. some treachery on the way, more misery than you can imagine any handling well and love that can conquer all. It was well told and the more disturbing parts of his past were sensitively told. I loved the way we saw a more sensitive side of Bex and seeing the sensitive side of Chains made him feel so much more human and real as a character. A great addition to the Chicago Defiance MC Series.
This is the fifth book in The Defiance MC Series and can be read as a stand-alone, but you can follow the club’s story if you read them in order. This is Chains and Bex’s story.
I was so happy to be getting Chains’ story. His past has always been something unspoken of. Well in this book gives us his horrid past, a closer “insider” view of the beautifully broken boy he has become, we meet his long lost child hood friend Luc as well as see Chains and Bex’s relationship grow.
This action-packed page-turner has a lot going on, one thing after another and I loved every second of this emotion roller coaster ride.
Highly recommend!
Ty (Chains) had a horrific childhood that he escaped from due to Rebecca (Bex) and her family. He’s always had a crush on his foster sister but never made a move due to the family relationship. One night the couple ends up giving in to their attraction for each other. Now a brutal part of Chains past has come back and he needs the help of his MC brothers. A good mc read.
This is one of my favorite MC author’s and we are so loving the The Chicago Defiance MC Series.I loved Chain’s story from beginning to end.
One thing we love about this series is the amazing character’s it has.I have to say I really loved them all but, the old ladies definitely add to the delight of reading this story because when those old ladies get together you know your going to laugh your butt off and I do time and time again.
Chain has been one of my favorite character’s and I am so happy he got his story as we loved the brute of a man that was broken and lost that our heart always bleed for him as his pain just poured out of him that you could not be unaffected by him.
Revisiting Chains past with him was heart breaking as well as heart wrenching and I can say they I shed more than a few tears for him as he told his story.
We loved Chain’s and getting to meet his family for the first time.We loved them.Chain’s mom was the bomb!
Leave it to Chain’s to have a complicated love story.We loved Doc/Bex in this story we saw a totally different side to her and we saw her take risks but, most of all we saw just how strong she really was when it came to fighting for something she wanted most in life.
I loved seeing both Doc and Bex together as the chemistry between them was always there but, fates intervention just gave it a little shove and I am so glad that Chain’s was willing to put himself out there especially with the upbringing he had this was a major step for him.
Knowing Chains we already new his journey to getting his girl and his happily ever after was a rocky one. Bex’s and Chains journey was suspenseful,heart wrenching,had tons of twists and turns and secrets that came to light and it was one heck of a ride for sure.
Chains has been a favorite character of mine all along as he has been always aloof and I think that what drew us to him from the onset of the series but, after reading this story we are more in love with this broken man than ever before.
I loved the plot of the story and how it surround around Chains past and present and how the one friend he had considered a brother in his past might be part of his present where he had come to find a slice of happiness in his pain filled life.The plot itself was dark edgy and it kept you on edge and engrossed in the series the entire time we loved it from cover to cover.
This story is just a reminder that sometimes you need the bad along with the good because without having the bad Chains would have never found his Happy Ever After and that one true soul-mate who was meant to be his .
Damn, what a ride! This is my favorite Defiance story to date. Chains past is a dark and tormented one that’s for certain. Luckily he has Bex and the MC in his life now. When a ghost from Chains past suddenly appears all the terrible memories bubble up to the surface. Chains needs to make things right with the one who was there for him, Luc. Sometimes things need to get really bad before they can become good.
Ty/Chains and Rebecca/Bex ~ Chains was a bitter man and had a horrible childhood. Rebecca is a doctor at the hospital. She saved Chains’ life when they were young. They knew they fell in love for a long time. It took Chains acceptance to change his life. Rebecca takes care of the bikers at The Chicago Defiance MC Club when the bikers need her for their injured. I hope K E Osborn continues write series books never end of it LOL!!!
Another amazing book. I always wondered about chains, and this book made me cry. It was so gut wrenching and I could feel all the emotions put into the book.
I loved the dynamic of Chains and Bex. I always wondered if something was there. They just had a unbreakable bond.
I can’t wait for more of this series.
5 Chained Stars!!!
Oh-Em-Gee!!! Ever since Resistance I’ve wanted Dr. Kline AKA Bex’s story. How’d she become Defiance’s doctor on call. I was stoked to find out her and Chains story was next.
Chains almost didn’t survive his childhood. The only reason he did was because his best friend saved him by sacrificing himself. Since that night his friend haunts his dreams.
Chains met Bex right after escaping his real life nightmare. Bex and her parents took him in and made him a part of their family. The Kline’s blood might not run thru his veins, but they’re his parents. Him and Bex might look at each other as bro/sis the feelings are everything but.
Chains has been in love with her since the beginning. But, he doesn’t wanna loose her and her parents if Bex as to turn him down or if her parents didn’t approve of them together. When Chains gets hurt and Bex comes to the clubhouse and gives him garbage for it, Chains can’t help himself and he kisses her. He was shocked when she kissed him back and then stormed off. Chains doesn’t wanna loose his family. But, before he can 100% figure out what’s going on with them he spots the guy who haunts his dreams every night. Chains will do anything to get his friend out. He’s just not sure how deep his friend is in. What’s going to happen with him and Bex.
Bex knew the minute she met Ty AKA Chains he was special. She’s always had feelings for him but never wanted to cross that line. Bex became a Dr bc Chains has always been accident prone. When he told her he wanted to join The Defiance MC, she told him if he joined so was she. She’d be their Dr so she’ll always be able to be there whenever he needed her.
Bex was completely caught off guard when Chains kissed her and she stormed off. They’ve always had chemistry but never crossed that line. Bex has always wondered if they should’ve.
When Bex gets a call from the MC that Chains had gotten hurt again she goes running. She’ll never not show up when they call. Things between her and Chains have changed and are tense. Bex knows how Chains’s brain works, with his night terrors and he’s afraid to loose her and her parents.
While they’re trying to figure out exactly what’s next for them, Bex finds out he’s going after his old friend. Bex doesn’t agree with his decision but trusts him.
Bex wants what’s best for Chains and the brothers, old lady’s and the club girls of The Defiance MC. Even if that means getting up close and personal with the guy who haunts Chains dreams every single night.
This story was so much better then I imagined. And, I knew I was going to love it. The guys and girls from Defiance are all in my favorite read list to begin with. The love and respect these two had for each other was so high and beautiful. Just when you thought this author couldn’t top herself and you couldn’t fall in love with her writing and storytelling more than you already do. Be ready!!! The next couple better hurry up and pop up on my kindle already. I’m going thru Defiance MC withdrawal already.
4.5 Stars
Acceptance is the fifth title in The Chicago Defiance MC, but whilst it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend the whole series. Both Chains and Bex have features heavily in the previous titles.
Bex’s family not only became Chains family when they fostered him as a teen, but also became his redemption. As an adult his family has grown to add to the Chicago Defiance, and he will do anything to protect those he holds dear.
Chains is one of those characters who piqued my interest from the very first mention. He’s dark, mysterious, and haunted by events of his past.
Bex is intelligent, strong, compassionate and independent. She’s very loyal, and will do anything for Chains including using her medical knowledge to fix up the members when they get hurt due to nefarious causes.
The chemistry and connection between this pair is undeniable, and could be considered taboo.
I highly recommend this title if you enjoy an intense, raw and emotional story of survival, friendship, family, love and redemption. Being and MC romance, it also has quite a bit of danger, drama and intrigue.
I will be eagerly awaiting the next addition to the Chicago Defiance MC series.
4 stars
Excellent addition to the Chicago Defiance series! While all relationships would be enhanced by reading the former books, this book is a standalone and can be enjoyed on its own.
From previous books in the series, we’ve become familiar with Chains, the haunted, mysterious biker and Bex, Chains’ take-no-shit foster sister and the club doctor. Out of fear of losing the only family he’d ever known, Chains hid his increasing feelings for the foster sister who saved him from the very depths of hell. There’s always been love and affection between the two but after an intense encounter, Chains can no longer deny his feelings for Bex. He has nothing to offer her, he’s a deeply wounded man haunted by a sadistic torturous childhood. He barely escaped with his life at sixteen but the nightmare of leaving his best friend behind won’t leave him alone. But neither will the growing feelings between he and his angel.
Fantastic addition to the series! I’ve waited for Chains’ story forever and despite the skin-crawling depths of his tormented youth, he’s grown into an incredibly intriguing man. I liked Bex for him, although she annoyed me at first while fighting her feelings for this troubled man. The struggle was real in getting these two together! Thoroughly enjoyed Acceptance and can’t wait for Luc’s story!

I absolutely love the Defiance series. The author just gives each character an amazing story. This book is about Ty or Chains and Bex. A long friendship and history together but can there be more? A twisted history of Ty and his past upbringing that follows him until today. Just a lot of action and love.
5 INCREDIBLE STARS!!!
Acceptance is the 5th book in the Chicago Defiance MC series and I absolutely loved it. This is Chains and Bex’s story. Chains grew up in a life that is truly unimaginable. The torture and brutality this man endured as a child is unthinkable. Rebecca (Bex) is the club Dr. But she’s also Chains foster sister. They can’t have feelings for each other, can they? Bex’s family was there for Chains when he finally escaped his hell. They took him in and raised him as their own. But there’s always been a close bond between him and Bex. They’ve always been there for each other. What will happen if these two act on their feelings for each other? Will Chains lose the family that saved him? Will the club understand? KE takes us on quite the journey with Chains and Bex’s tale. You definitely don’t want to miss this one.
Absolutely phenomenal MC storyline. The author has given us a fantastic book filled with regrets, brotherhood, intrigue, vengeance, suspense, romance, forgiveness and so much more. We meet new characters as well as enjoy the return of the brotherhood that make up the Chicago Defiance MC in a book that will hold you captivated to the very end.
We know Chains has his childhood demons that he fights on a daily basis, we just never realized the depth of them or the anguish they have caused; until now! Chains physically escaped his tormentors but mentally he is still very scared. Especially over his best friend, Luc, who he left behind when he escaped 19 years ago.
While riding through town, Chains spots Luc, now a grown man who is still a part of the 87th Street Sovereigns, and he asks his club brothers to help him finally get Luc away from them. But does Luc want out after all this time? What happens when helping the friend he never forgave himself for leaving behind, endangers the person he loves the most, his family and his MC Brothers?
I can’t recommend this book enough. Holy Cow it’s simply amazing. If you like MC action this is a definite must read. I offer Acceptance 2 Thumbs Up and a resounding 5 stars. My only regret is that I can’t give it more than 5 stars as it truly deserves it.
So Book 5 is pretty powerful and trigger inspiring.
Wow – Chains history is rough! We sadly understand where the name comes from and why he is so haunted as well as understanding why he and Bex are so tight.
This one was hard, but beautiful at the same time. In finding salvation, Chains made a sacrifice that haunts him to this day. Luckily he has unwavering support of a tight brotherhood and his foster family. It was nice to meet some outside the MC characters and they brought a lot of love and humor to the story.
This series is such a good MC series. Some of them have been tougher reads than others because of the content, but all have been worth it. Including this one – acceptance is a beautiful thing once found.
I voluntarily requested and reviewed an advance reader copy.
OMG where is the million stars that this book deserves because this one is off the chains!!!!!!!!! Oh man Chains and Bex are an amazing couple and what they have to go through to get to where they want t be is something else. I can’t give it all away but i will say that Chains has had a terrible upbringing and when he is rescued at the age of 16 by Bex and her family his life changes for the better. Then he joins The Chicago Defiance MC and has even more of a family. But he has bad nightmares that affect him every night when he sleeps. So he seeks out Bex again to help him out.
Bex is more than willing to help out Chains and she is secretly crushing on Chains. She has always had feelings for him but they never crossed that line but when they do things get heated! And when Chains pasts comes back to try and hurt him Bex and the club are there for him and are willing to take out whoever is messing with their family. No one messes with the club and lives to tell about it.
Acceptance is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t get enough. With each book KE raises the bar higher and higher and I need more of this MC family!
I loved getting to know Chains and Bex’s story. We get the feeling in the first few books that there is history between these two and this story let’s us get to know their past and present. Chains has had a terrible childhood before he meets Bex and that past comes calling. It was great to see the gang again and see them get through Chains’ past.
Exciting forbidden romance or is it? Chains has found his family with the Defiance MC but the family that saved him all those years ago is still the core of his being. His connection to his foster sister, Bex, has always been natural, comfortable and consuming. When he finally acts on all these feelings, will he end up pushing Bex away? Or will he be kicked out of the family? Bex is an amazing woman, a doctor that takes on the MC crew with confidence. When she first met Chains, she was shocked by the state this young boy was in but his eyes captivated her. She is shocked when Chains kisses her, he is her brother, but is he really? As these two navigate the chance for a relationship, Chains embarks on a quest to save his friend Luc from the insane world he grew up in. Learning Chains past was heart-breaking but uplifting to see how he came out of all this horror an incredibly strong gentleman. Will these two allow themselves to accept what they have always felt? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
