Scorchwood Supernatural Penitentiary is Hell. Literally, it’s in Hell.Of all the things to end up in jail for, embezzling wasn’t what I thought would bring me down. I’ve got a pretty healthy arson and murder hobby on my down time. White collar crimes never go to Scorchwood. I should have been given a fee and probation at most. Something is going on. My cell mate, Skoll is an Alpha wolf in for … cell mate, Skoll is an Alpha wolf in for manslaughter. He wants me to meet Roman, a vampire and Amduscias, demon who is really shifty about what his demonic form is.
Something fishy is going down in Scorchwood with the elementals. Skoll’s last five cellmates were elementals who were framed for white collar crimes. Amduscias is cellmates with one of the worst elemental women in the entire jail and she is not pleased I’ve made friends with him.
Something is going on. Someone is framing elementals and sending them to Scorchwood. But they made a mistake framing me. They didn’t know about my little hobbies before they sent me here. They didn’t know about Fergus, my fire dragon.
There’s so much I don’t know about why I’m here, but there’s so much they don’t know about me too. I’ve made friends in Scorchwood and I don’t call myself Elemental Batman in secret for nothing. This should be fun.

Serafina is a fire elemental and has been framed with embezzling a charity she expects to serve her time topside but she’s sent to Scorchwood which is hell in hell.
When she arrives her cell mate Skoll tells her his last 5 cell mates have been elementals all sent to scorchwood even though they had only committed white collar crimes and Serafina aims to find out what’s going on.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it ended on a cliffhanger although the author does apologise for that Looking forward to seeing how things end for Serafina and her mates.
OMG, I completely devoured this book, I was absolutely hooked from the beginning, the characters were engaging, I was invested in them really quickly. The plot was addictive, the conspiracy surrounding Scorchwood was so intriguing, I can’t wait to get started on book 2. I am not familiar with Portia Kay Winters, the narration was good, I think she’ll grow on me.
I loved this book. I could re-read it. I personally recommend reading this book series.
Great start to a new series. It was intriguing and entertaining. It did a good job of drawing you in and captivating you. I loved the characters that are introduced here.
It ends in a cliffhanger.

Sarafina’s life certainly went to Hades in a pretty hand basket after being railroaded for a crime she didn’t commit she ends up in Scorchwood.
A place filled with many dangerous beings who have nothing to lose.
She’ll needed to watch her six and hopefully make a few new allies who just might keep her for themselves.

This is my first book by JB Trepagnier and a great start to the Scorchwood Supernatural Penitentiary series. This is a slow burn reverse harem with interesting characters. This author has created a unique and intriguing world filled with strong characters. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

I have read a few books by this author now and what I like most about her is that her books are different. She doesn’t try to copy anyone else’s style or ideas. She comes up with things that aren’t based on anything else. Her storylines are enjoyable and full of diverse characters who are fun to read about. This book is no exception. It has enough mystery to make you keep reading without it becoming tedious and you slowly get to know the characters instead of being bombarded with their history in one go.
I’m looking forward to reading book 2 and finding out what is really going on.
I really found myself getting caught up in Serafina’s story as she learned to navigate the penitentiary. With a wolf, a vampire, and a demon by her side she learns about evil plots within the prison and they work to solve the mystery. I’ve been a bit iffy on prison romances but Chained does it right.

What an excellent way to start a series!!! JB creates worlds in which we can’t help to get lost!! Being sent to jail for the one thing you didn’t do and finding her mates there??? Not something Serafina ever saw happening, leave it to JB to bring us the unexpected…. Need book two fast because that was the cliffhanger from hell
First I want a sexy shape-shifting dragon to guard me. It’s like avatar the last air-bender mixed with fae and it literally in hell yeah you heard that right. Even for a slow burn it gets pretty steamy cue the bad joke. This book is so awesome and the way they don’t get the human world kills me. I laughed so hard I couldn’t get enough of this story I’m glad she started on book 2 because now I know why she said me may riot that ending was perfect. Also I agree about big chain stores I think everyone’s fought the urge to end all Wal-Mart’s lol.
Chained and Confused: A Reverse Harem Prison Romance by JB Trepagnier is such a wonderful story that I have had the privilege to read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series that I have fallen in love with and can not wait to read the next book in this wonderful series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who love reading about romantic suspense, dar and paranormal romance.

This first book about Serafina the half-fae by JB Trepangier was a very dark, intense, and very entertaining reverse harem read. The characters, Skoll, Roman, Amduscias, Fergus, and Serafina, include a wolf, vampire, demon, fae guardian, and fire essential half-fae royalty, which is the all the more interesting when they come together to try and solve a mystery going on in the hell-hole prison where prisoners can disappear at any time if the guards decide to take them. Of course, it also leads to a very interesting multiple-party sexual dynamic as they attempt to pleasure each other without actual intercourse penetration. However, readers fear not for the author manages to describe in some very vivid and graphic detail their sexual encounters. My only complaint is how suddenly the book ends, and damn right, the author should apologize for it. I am eagerly anticipating the next book in the series, and hope the author does not make us wait too long for it. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout.
Wholly Toledo! I am so in love with these characters and story. Although a slow burning reverse harem, there is nothing slow going about this scene. Scorchwood is supposed to be housing inmates who have committed the worst crimes imaginable but there seems to be too many white collar crime inmates coming in to be a coincidence. Serafina, a rare fire element, is just one of those white collar criminals brought into the fold of Scorchwood. Now she and her wolf and vampire partners must figure out what is really going on in this hell hole. This is a fast paced, action packed adventure leaving you wanting more! I certainly do; can’t wait for the next installment.

Holy Hell! What do you get when you mix a Demon, a Vampire, Werewolf, Human/Fae, and Dragon? One HELL off a tantalizing mess!!
The world created by Ms. Trepagnier is absolutely AMAZING! The characters are too die for, the dialogue is superb, and the chemistry is such that you can hardly wait to see what happens.
The entire time you’re reading this book, you only have one, well two, thoughts in mind, and they are where can you find yourself some Alpha males as tantalizing as the four portrayed in this book, and when the HELL is the next book in the series coming out, because as soon as this book is coming to an end all you want is to curl up, hiding in disbelief that it’s actually over – even for a short period of time.
This is a fabulous story! Well written great characters! I couldn’t put it down! Devoured in one sitting! You need to check this out!
JB has another hit with this new series starter. The characters are well-created & written. They are easy to connect with and imagine yourself along for the ride. Scorchwood Penitentiary is in Hell, but it’s in the frozen, uninhabitable region. From the description alone, you know it’s a place that nobody wants to be in.
Serafina is a fire elemental who has been framed for embezzling money, which is funny because she would never steal money. She’s never been caught doing what she’s actually guilty of–murdering wrongdoers. What should have been a slap on the wrist turns out to be a lengthy sentence in Scorchwood. When she gets there, she’s put in a cell with Skoll, an Alpha wolf in for manslaughter. He knows that he can’t keep her safe on his own so he takes her to meet Roman, a vampire and Amduscias, a demon. Together they come to the conclusion that something is going on at Scorchwood as all of Skoll’s previous 5 elemental cellmates were taken from the cell never to be seen or heard from again. Serafina’s dragon spirit guardian, Fergus, is able to go see what is going on, but he has to leave her to do so. He knows that his feelings for her are forbidden, but he can’t help the way he feels & hopes that once she realizes that there’s more to him than she knows that she will accept him. When they find out exactly who Serafina is, all Hell will break loose, but that will be in book 2.
I did not want to put this one down. This one has everything in it that I have come to expect & love from one of JB’s books. A strong female lead who takes no $!@# from anyone and HAF alpha males who will do anything to protect those they love. This one does have a small steamy scene in the shower as none of them want to go all out while in prison. It’s a slow burn, but it will definitely end up hot. This one ends on cliffhanger which definitely leaves you wanting more.
This story head left me hanging and with so many questions. I can not wait till the next boo comes out. If you love paranormal romance and mystery, danger, and leave your heart beating hard to see the finish this book is for you.
