Biker or Brother?!
Chains was the sexy alpha biker who lived his life for his family, the Night Rebels MC. His own family had never believed in him and turned their back on him. He found acceptance with the MC.
Chains was also a guy who loved his dog Thor and that’s where Autumn came into the picture. When Thor got sick he had to rush him to the nearest vet clinic and that’s where he met the sexy vet who he felt a connection with. They had some kind of spark but no way would Chains give into it because he didn’t do relationships with “citizens” especially after his first wife was one and she cheated on him and left him broken. Oh, and there was one more little thing standing in the way of Chains and Autumn…she was engaged.
About the time you thought that was the worst thing, you’ll have to read to see who her fiancé was and you’ll be nodding your head saying “I knew it”!! Bret was not the man that Autumn thought he was and he sure proved it to her time and time again. How could a relationship like that ever hold up, especially when the douche Bret didn’t break up with Autumn through a phone call or even text and he put her life in danger.
What a page turner! I can always count on Chiah delivering a book that will have me sucked in and flipping the pages one after the other. I always am eager to see how the story will play out and this one definitely stayed true to that.
Chains and Autumn have off the charts chemistry but there are things keeping them from following through on that chemistry. Chains has been burned by his “citzen” ex-wife and refuses to ever mess with one again. Then you have Autumn, she turns out to be engaged and boy is that interesting.
This story will definitely keep you engrossed and eager for more. You will be sucked into their story and left shocked with how it all plays out. Just when you think things couldn’t get more complicated they do, more than once. Definitely another must read by Chiah Wilder!

Chains was the eighth book in Chiah Wilder’s Night Rebels MC series.
Chet “Chains” Graver was a patched member of the MC. He was seven years divorced after his wife cheated on him with a now former member of the MC. He now limited his trusted relationships strictly to the club. Brotherhood was family. Family was first.
Autumn Stanford was a vet. She met Chains when she was treating his sick dog, Thor. She was also engaged to his brother at the time – although neither knew the connection.
Wilder took us through their present and past, setting the stage. Then she intersected their lives and the story began. It was told from a dual POV detailing both perspectives and daily activities. I enjoyed the storyline but desired a little more depth and conclusion. It was a quick read so there was plenty of room for a bigger showdown on the two main conflicts. I’d love to see Chains family have more karma inflicted as well as the MC saga fleshed deeper in future books – just a thought, but would be awesome. Additionally, I craved an epilogue.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the characters, the MC loyalty, and the storyline. I’m not sure where Wilder will take us next but we still have several brothers yet to explore so bring it on!

Chains by Chiah Wilder is a small town MC love story with a twist. I loved it!
The first chapter was a little choppy. It took me a minute to get the characters straight. But once I did, it was phenomenal. This is the eighth book in the series. Although it was the first one I read, I will go back and read the others in the series. I feel that you can read out of order, well this one at least. Be forewarned that you will see some spoilers though.
Autumn is the girl next door. A veterinarian who falls in love with the pretty boy, Bret, who is a lying jerk. Autumn’s friends and family saw Bret’s true colors before she was able to. She defended him and his choices while also having second thoughts about if they were, in fact, meant to be together.
Bret liked the idea of getting married. But once all the wedding planning got underway it interfered with his way of life and he decided it wasn’t for him. He took the pansy way out instead of being a man and ending it himself.
Chains is the black sheep of the family. He joined an MC and his family doesn’t understand the brotherhood that is the Night Rebels MC. They think that he is a hood rat and needs to clean up his act and find a good girl like his brother Bret did. But what his family doesn’t realize is that he is always cleaning up the golden child, Bret’s messes.
Since Chains never goes to family functions he had never met Autumn. But when his dog, Thor, eats toxic berries and has to be rushed to the new vet in town, they finally meet. As soon as he sees her, there are feelings. When she lets him know she is engaged, he gets mad and doesn’t really understand why. He doesn’t even know her very well, and she’s definitely not part of the MC world. He tries to then stay away from her until, SURPRISE!, she is at the family brunch, to celebrate the engagement.
Will Chains once again clean up Bret’s mess with Autumn? Or will he, in fact, let her know of his feelings, not caring about his brother?
Wow ! What another great read in this on going series as the story was quite captivating along with tons of drama and suspense,action and intrigue and a whole lot of hotness and we loved every bit of it.
The story had an amazing cast of characters that you couldn’t help but fall in love with.This was a great addition to this on going series and Chains has now become one of our favorite book boyfriends. We are really loving this series with its amazing characters.
I am so in love with Chains! He is the perfect biker man! Autumn found herself engaged to the wrong wrong man.he is rude to her and doesn’t treat her properly. She helps Chains with his dog and has an instant attraction to him. They find their way to each other and the hurdles they have to go through to be together
A highly entertaining page-turner MC Romance of finding love in the most unexpected places with a really surprising twist. Chain and Autumn’s story has me addicted and beginning for more from chapter one. This book is an absolute must read with twists and turns, ups and downs, and surprises that will keep you begging for more.
Love Chiah’s books. Loved Chains and Autumn’s story, their chemistry was off the charts, and they fought their attraction because Autumn was getting married to Chains brother. Will I’m Not going to give any more details because you just need to read it to find out how it worked out. My only issue was the last few chapters felt like it was rushed and we missed some ready juice details but overall I loved it.
This is the 8th book in this phenomenal series and is Chains and Autumn’s story. Autumn is a veterinarian who meets Chains when he rushes his dog Thor into her surgery for treatment. This is a well written flawless story which had a dysfunctional family, and is filled with action, suspense, undeniable chemistry, and love. I was hooked and intrigued throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend for all MC lovers.
Chains is part of the Night Rebels MC. He was once married to a “citizen” who cheated on him with one of his MC brothers. While he’s gotten past this, he knows he’ll never be with another citizen again. But Chains has a beautiful Siberian Huskie (Thor) who gets really sick and Chains has to rush him to his new vet. The new vet, is the beautiful ad smart woman named Autumn. As soon as they meet, both of them start feeling a strong connection. Unfortunately, Autumn is engaged to this guy who’s been treating her poorly. In a weird twist of fate, at one of her engagement parties, she finds out that Chains and fiance are brothers (brothers who don’t talk to each other).
To make matters worse, Bret calls Chains and asks Chains to dump Autumn for him because he’s changed his mind and doesn’t want to get married. Chains really hates his brother now but doesn’t want to see Autumn get hurt, so he tells her. Chains and Autumn fight their attraction but there’s only so much sexual tension they can handle. Chains is definitely a sweet softie under the MC vest. It isn’t smoot sailing for Chains and Autumn, but it’s definitely a sweet ride.
Another great read in this wonderful series!
I really loved the storyline with Chains. The author gave us good read with lots of MC action and romance. If I had to name one complaint it would be that I felt the end was a little rushed and there were a major loose end, in my humble opinion. This did not take away from my enjoyment of the book at all, it just left me wanting to know a few things and a little let down by the ending of the book (I don’t want to be specific in case the author has plans a future book that tie into this one).
Chains comes from a family that doesn’t understand him, they haven’t since he was a young boy and think he’s nothing but a hoodlum. But he is the bad boy we all wish we’d meet. Chains is smart, owns his own business, lives for his club brothers and is bad to the bone when he needs to be. He also happens to love his dog and who doesn’t love a bad boy with a soft spot for animals. But one thing about Chains is he doesn’t do relationships, not since he caught his ex-wife with one of his former club brothers. But when his dog eats some poisonous berries and he rushes him to the vet, he meets Autumn. The gorgeous, smart, sexy, vet sparks something in Chains that’s been dominant for a long time. Too bad she’s engaged and to his dipstick of a brother.
I highly recommend this MC read. The club action and the romantic aspects had my heart involved in every word. Great addition to the series (this can be read as a standalone). 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars!!
The one thing I always want in a good book is for the author to pull me in within the first few pages. Chiah is a master at this. I wanted to read each page so that I could get to the next. The story was interesting and exciting and the characters were well written. Autumn seemed a little vulnerable and would have been a door mat if she had stayed with Bret. Bret made a great villain with his gambling addiction, selfishness and ego. Chains was a much better choice since he was so protective and caring. I really liked Autumn and Chains together. They played well with each other’s weaknesses. My only criticism is that I wish the story was longer and gave the reader a look into what the future held for Autumn and Chains. I recommend this book and was given an ARC in return for an honest review.
Warning May Contain Spoilers!!
Chains was another great read added to the Night Rebels Motorcycle Club collection. I absolutely adored Chains even though he looked like and acted like a typical biker, he had a completely different side when it came to Thor his dog.
Autumn was a sweet character who had an amazing job as a Vet. In the beginning I felt that Autumn was kind of a push over when it came to Bret. She eventually overcame that with the help of Chains.
I felt that these two characters complimented each other; they were perfect together. I would love to see more of this couple in the future.
Chains, what can I say…I love him. Sometimes you find the person for you and its so wrong it’s absolutely perfect. Autumn and Chains has that chemistry. I just love a bad boy and Chiah Wilder delivers. Chains is tough, but definitely has a sweet spot for his pet…aww, sigh…irresistible
This was so good. It has what you expect from a MC book with the action, suspense, darkness, and the passion and love. This was so good. I was caught up in Chain and Autumn’s relationship and predicament. But when love hits you, there’s no way you can fight.
One of my favorite MC stories. Hot guys. Gorgeous dog. Strong independent woman. An obnoxious family. A strong bond of brothers in the MC. They may be one-percenters but they have their own moral code, unconditional loyalty to their club that nothing will break.
Chains loves his brothers and his dog. He loves his mother even if she supports her husband who has been nothing but cruel to Chains, the reason he left home after high school and found a family in the club. Then there is his worthless brother–the one who can do no wrong in his family’s eyes.
He doesn’t deal with “citizen” women. Done that. Never again. Until he rushes his beautiful dog to the vet. The gorgeous, hot vet. Something clicks and he’s pretty sure it isn’t a one-way feeling. Even worse when the feeling continues he discovers she’s engaged to his worthless brother.
The two have so many reasons to stay away from each other but its the one thing they can’t seem to do. While she tries to convince herself she wants the wedding she’s planning and spending a fortune on he deals with club business and trying to stay away.
A surprising request brings them back to each other. Is there a chance for them? A future?
With club action, surprises, and steam galore the reader is never quite sure until the end just how this will turn out. Along the way, it is a great ride with a view of two brothers, the good brother is the one no one seems to see as the true, loyal, and moral one.
I forgot how much I loved the Night Rebels! Chains was such an excellent read! As always Chiah Wilder’s characters are strong and pull you in from page 1. Definitely a awesome storyline as well! Although you could read this as a stand-alone, I highly recommend you read Chains and then the whole series! You will not be dissatisfied!!
My favorite Night Rebels so far.
This story had it all. Suspense, angst, romance, and steamy hot sexy time. Wow the steam!!!!
Miss Wilder has a habit of writing stories that suck me in at the beginning and hold me captive until the very last page. This story was no exception. Chains is all kinds of sexy alphamale. Autumn was likeable right from the start. Now Chains brother is another story. He never deserved Autumn and I only wish she would have kicked him where it counts. While this book had all the angst of an MC book the romance story of this book was magical. Chains is a white knight and I only wish he would ride in and save me. Another book very well done!!
5 steamy stars for sure

Another great installment in the Night Rebels MC as always. Chains & Autumn have great chemistry, and the slow burn between the two hypes up the inevitable romance. What I love about this book is the heroine is a smart, sassy thirty-something woman with a career who stumbles upon her forever. Chains & Autumn are graceful in their love, and have a mutual respect for the other. What I didn’t like about this installment is I felt like I was left hanging … Wilder is great at giving you a romance AND suspense, but in this case, the suspense left me with more questions, almost as though there should be a second book to tie up the loose ends and give me the rest of the details. That being said, I was not disappointed with the overall relationship build and character development. Chains is an easy read and a great continuation within the Night Rebels MC.
