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.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
I’m never disappointed when I read one of Hayley’s books and this series definitely doesn’t disappoint. First of all the Savage Beasts MC are just that, Savage but only when it’s necessary. In the case of their families and the brotherhood they’re the most protective of each other and would kill to prove it. At first I didn’t know if I was gonna like Dragon’s character or not. It took me awhile to warm up to him. Bellarosa had my heart from the start. Her character broke my heart. Taken at sixteen and thrown into the pits of hell. She’s very strong despite everything she’s been through. I loved her and I loved how sweet and caring she was despite everything she’s gone through. When she meets Dragon for the first time she’s kind of shocked by her reaction to him. She thinks he’s one of the most gorgeous men she’s ever seen and she’s seen alot. He’s a big hard badass alpha and when he sees Bella for the first time he’s knocked on his ass. He knows he’ll own her. At times the suspense had me bouncing in my seat. At times I was crying for poor Bella but always for little Kora she is the sweetest loving little girl. When Dragon drags Bella to his bed at first I feel kinda sorry for Bella but then it’s so freakin HOT that I don’t care. Lol! Their chemistry is set your crotch on fire smokin hot. The way Hayley describes the sex scenes is so erotic you can almost feel the heat coming off the pages. I loved the ending but as with any of Hayley’s books I didn’t want it to end. I extremely recommend this series to everyone.
Bellarosa has been locked away for three years and after escaping she meets Dragon. Dragon is president of the Savage Beast MC. He’s forty and Bellarosa is nineteen but that doesn’t stop the attraction between them. Their love is brutal but ends up being beautiful in the end.
President of Savage Beast MC, Dragon fell into the problems his Dad had always warned him about. He got one of the hangarounds knocked up and is now a single dad. He wouldn’t change having his daughter for anything but he still would like to find the woman who could own his heart.
Bellarosa was taken away and forced into a life she didn’t want. Now she has a chance to have a different life, will the hardened Dragon be there for her or will she will her life continue to be someone else for the taking?
Gritty, a bit too much for me. It was hard for me to warm up to these characters. Overall idea of the story was good just a bit harsh for me.
In one word for this book by Hayley Faiman is well unexpected. To be honest I am used to reading her romances and this one is far from romance. It is filled with darkness, betrayal, lies and a love no one really expected to happen. I love bikers and Dragon is one tough biker but with a side nobody sees at all. Bellarosa is a young woman having to grow up fast but deep down she is still innocent in ways that well confuses Dragon. These two are like oil and water totally opposite yet in a way have lived in the same world together. A biker and a whore should get along quite well but Bellarosa is far from that scaring Dragon in every way. For readers wanting sweet romance this is not it. For readers wanting something dark, adventurous and bringing out all the forbidden then Hayley Faiman, Unchain Me is your book. This is book 3 and highly recommend to get the other 2 in the series to really understand Dragon’s world. Hayley Faimen brings you love yet in a dark way that we see it can hurt, deceive and most of all change a person.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
Dragon Ricci received some sage advice. He’s a man that does what he wants and expects others to follow along. Bellarosa Mazzilli’s life has changed before she could become a young adult. She seems to have a past where she cowers before men and just seems to accept her life’s path.
Dragon doesn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities. He has qualities that you see when you think of the stigma that the clubs used to have. You will see that it’s because he hasn’t had the right woman in his life. He’s got a sweet little girl in his life but he needs someone that can scratch an itch as well as having him wanting more.
Bellarosa didn’t ask for what’s been thrown at her. She’s decided that she’s had enough and wants to change. She also needs the right person in her life that will free her and let her spread her wings. A great way to connect these two people together is that sweet little girl. I was just sorry we didn’t see more of her.
I understand that we can’t since Dragon tries to keep his two sides separate. Our author one more time makes her story seem so realistic. I can’t say that one character is more important than another because they’re all needed in order to make this group seem so real. Dragon explains how things are to Bellarosa and it seems like he’s including us in their conversations. The author is sneaky. It’s not until the ending that Bellarosa has an epiphany. That’s a great way to create a page-turner because it’s like a mystery where you can’t stop until you find out whodunit. In this case, you want to know if she’s found what she’s been looking for, for quite some time. But I also had to wonder if I’ve received the next book hint.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
5 Stars
I cannot get enough of the Savage Beasts!
Dragon’s story is full of ups and downs and of course a president who is a badass with a heart of gold. You will see plenty of your favorites members of the MC while getting wrapped up in the suspense, struggles and sexiness that is Dragon and Bellarosa. You will be on the edge of your seat and unable to put this book down until you reach the last page…then you will be wondering how long we need to wait for the next book!

What an intense story! Bellarosa has had a tough childhood that ended up being robbed from her, and at 19 she has become resigned with her life and how she’s going to end up. One chance to get out of her situation and she takes it, unbeknownst to her ending up with the Savage Beast MC. Dragon, having secrets of his own, is having a rough time of raising his child and living the way his father wished he never would. When he meets Bellarosa, he is so attracted to her that he can’t decide if she is worth the issues that will be caused from her running away, but he doesn’t care and wants him for herself. Dragon is definitely crueler than the others in this series, but his rough exterior really has a lot to do with his own childhood and life experiences. Where Bellarosa has traded one cage for another, she finds herself happy with the situation she’s in with Dragon. But when his past decisions come back to haunt her, we wonder if either of them will survive it. This book is definitely full of triggers, but I really enjoyed the character development within both Dragon and Bellarosa. Can’t wait to see what happens next with Della!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Another amazing story by one of my favorite authors Hayley Faiman this is part of the Savage Beast MC and can be read a s a standalone but I would recommend that you read it in order .

I have read all of Hayley Faimans MC Series, so it’s evident that I am a fan of her crass alpha heroes and raw, dirty intimate scenes. UnChain Me was just a continuation of those things I love so much about her writing. This story also presented an age gap between the hero and heroine. While I don’t know that that brings as much of an issue in a criminal MC book, I still enjoyed the dynamic it created. Hayley also ties the Savage Beasts and her Zanetti Crime Series together which I loved! I think when you read a lot of an authors books, it gets hard to write reviews that don’t give away a spoiler but convey everything you love. What I can say is, if you’re like me and enjoy your romance a little on the down and dirty side then Hayley’s books are definitely for you.
Hot and steamy is what this book is going for!
Bellarosa is an owned woman, literally, after being sold to the famiglia when she was just 16 years old. She’s had enough though, she does not want this to be her life, she has to escape and she finds herself stowing away in the back of the truck when two members of the Savage Beasts MC make a delivery to NY. When she is discovered, will she be taken to the clubhouse in Arizona, or will she be sent back to face the wrath of the man she ran from? In the end, its not up to the men who found her, it’s up to Dragon, the President of the club and the man she seems to have an instant connection with. Will Dragon be willing to put his club in danger for a woman he has literally just met, even though just one look has made him feel more than anyone ever has before?
Like with book two, this one runs along the line of uncomfortable for me sometimes with how Dragon treats Bellarosa and the way their relationship unfurls. At times I felt really sorry for her and really thought Dragon needed a slap for the way he acted, but then there were other times when I could really see a future for them. Put all that together and I just couldn’t stop reading until I knew how it was all going to turn out. There was lots of bedroom action, LOADS of drama and a possible hint at who the next book will be about; if it’s who I think it is I can’t wait for that one. I give UnChain Me 4 stars.
Ups and downs, and lots of sideways. This book was twisted and delicious. Dragon was as amazing and I knew he would be. Alpha to the core and I could have loved him more even if I tried. He was so sweet when it came to his daughter and even Bellarosa but he was also hard and rough. Bella was damaged but I love that she quickly accepted Dragon and the whole MC. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t know what was going to happen and it had a lot of drama added in. I can’t wait for the next book if it’s who I think it is. 4 #2OCCJD
