In Chains In Chains series Book 1 edition by Michelle Abbott Romance eBooks

The story about slavery and the treatment given to slaves always roils me. I could never fathom man’s inhumanity to man, or how, at one time in our history, it was okay to treat humans like animals.

In chains is one of those fantasy stories, told from the standpoint of Savannah, a pretty white girl who fell in love with Kayden, her brother Simon’s slave. They had to love in secret because theirs was a forbidden love. In the end, Savannah chose love over the norm, by choosing to experience what it was like being a slave.

I loved the romance part of this story, being a romantic, myself, by nature, but I hated the aspects that dealt with calling a human, “it”, and claiming that a slave does not have a name, and all the other inhuman acts meted out to slaves. This was not an easy book to read.

In Chains In Chains series Book 1 edition by Michelle Abbott Romance eBooks Reviews

A story about slavery and the love affair between Kayden, the slave and Savannah, the human. The story starts off well and the idea about the book is good; however, it is difficult for me to read about slavery whether fiction or not. I did not believe that Kayden would fall in love with Savannah the first time he saw her. I understand there can be a connection or attraction right away, but not love. I did enjoy the book despite my criticisms.
The sexual scenes were too frequent, long, and too graphic for my taste. For the most part the story was well-written though I think it could have been shortened.
My Rant In chains is a wonderful story. It almost made me feel as if I was reading Romeo and Juliet again. Two hearts that could not be together because of the way the world was. Savannah and Kayden touched me on so many levels. This story poured all the love it adorn in to me. Savannah was a character I could admire and respect. She had a good heart. I wanted with every fiber of my bones for her to be happy. You just don't have people around that have that halo effect on you. Kayden was sweet and endearing just the type of man that every women dreams about in fairytale love stories.

This is not an easy story to read. The objectives of the story are harsh but real and that's what made me work through it. Kayden is a slave that savannah falls in love with. But according to societies standard slaves were objects and not people. Kayden was not allowed to love freely without being punished for it. It is so hard to write this review because I am completely emotional. I laughed, I cried and felt despair but what shocked me the most is that I felt the love between the characters in the midst of their trails and tribulations. They loved each other with everything they had to offer one another but life was cruel especially in this book. I was ashamed of some of the events that have taken place in this story and to think in real life people look at other human beings as less than human. The author places that reality in your face. There is nowhere to run and hide from it. All you can do is face it dead on with Savannah and Kayden.

I hate Simon and Ben. At this point I am done with both of the characters. Its not so much what they did to Kayden it was how Simon knew his sister love Kayden and he still subjected her to those twisted extremities and not once did he try to hear her out or make it right by her. Ms. Abbot, I hope somewhere in this book Ben gets what's coming to him because he was such an arse. The biggest I have scene. I hope that Simons conscious eats away at him until savannah and Kayden are set free.

Savannah You loved Christina don't you? How would you feel, if tried to keep you apart? How would you feel if I attacked her every time you went near her?

Simon He sighs and shakes his head.

From the beginning this story kept me entrapped in Savannahs world, the author's writing was amazing. The way she told the story was like i was witnessing it as a true to life event and through this story she completely worked me over emotionally and just when I thought she was done she tugged at the base of my heart sending shocks through my entire body. This love story is not the easiest love story to work through and that's what makes it so soul searchingly touching. I am sad that I had to leave Kayden and Savannah behind. These two characters just touched my heart and affect me so much that I am going to be thinking about them often until book #2 is released.

To be honest, I read this book because it was free. I do not regret reading it.

There were things I enjoyed about this book. I liked the main characters Savannah, heroine and Kayden, the hero. Both were likable people who had noticeable faults. I liked that Kayden was the jealous and possessive hero who was very much in love with Savannah. I liked that Savannah was down to earth and open minded unlike those around her. She was one of the few people that viewed slaves like Kayen as people as opposed to an "it". Both were insecure, which was sad but believable. Kayden was a slave and Savannah was physically and mentally abused by a boyfriend who eroded her confidence and self esteem. The book had an uncommon premise, which was nice.

The thing that I did not like was that the writing seemed sloppy in parts which included incorrect grammar and the characters having random thoughts. Also, I did not like the cliffhanger ending but am grateful that the series ends with the next book. This book was good enough that I am willing to buy and read the second and last book in the series.
I am having a difficult time reading this book, not because it is written poorly. On the contrary, Michelle Abbott writes well. I am having difficulty in swallowing the fact that a slave could be treated like such a non-person. Kayden is referred to as “it” instead of him or he. That is very offensive to me coming from a history of slavery in my race; and the glaring hatred that is causing black people to be killed right before the world’s eyes-right now! In my wildest imagination I could not dream up something like this about another human being.
Another thing too, I don't get how Samantha didn't have a clue about the slave problem. Her character is so unbelievable for being that naive. People like her is what put black men in real danger for their very lives.
None of the other reviews even touch on this. It’s like the pink elephant in the room. Nobody sees it and that’s very troubling to me. Michelle, I cannot read another sentence in this book. You are an excellent writer but perhaps a little research into understanding the black experience will help you to become a superb writer.
