About Beneath These Chains

I was raised on the streets, so I know things are rarely as simple as they appear—especially this rich girl showing up at my pawnshop demanding a job.

She’s the most tempting thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ll be damned if I can make her leave.

Shit just got complicated … but when it comes to her—I want complicated.

We’re both fighting our own demons, and our only chance at a future is to let go of the past.

But will we be strong enough to break free from beneath these chains?

Review

Obligations…

Controlling Parents…

Horrible Childhood…

Everyone has chains to break free from; forces beyond their control that define who they are and what people feel they deserve.

Lord Robichaux and Elle Snyder may come from different sides of the tracks, but they’re both contending with shackles that weigh them down and one part of that weight comes from preconceptions.

The tatted pawnstore alpha male owner and the gorgeous rich girl are an unlikely pair, but they couldn’t fit better together. Lord and Elle’s banter and chemistry sizzle from the beginning of the text until the end, allowing readers to be invested in their developing relationship right from the start. Their connection may have been a bit insta love, but it does take awhile for Lord to wear Elle down and make her realize they’re more than a passing fling.

Added into the romance and steam of Beneath These Chains is mystery and suspense; this side of the story didn’t distract from its dynamic; in fact, it made it that more intriguing. I do have to admit, though, that the identification of the culprit bewildered me and didn’t fit, but that could simply be because I was blindsided by who it was and the reasons behind it.

Lord and Elle are great characters who complement each other well with their personalities. Lord may seem harsh and crass on the outside, but Elle brings out his softer, protective side, and he’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe and his. I loved Elle; she’s feisty and independent and gives as good as she gets. She’s definitely more than what her outside appearance signifies, which makes her a multifaceted character who readers will love.

I really enjoyed Lord and Elle’s story. This was my first read by Meghan March, but it definitely will not be my last. She’s a great storyteller who knows how to mesh romance and suspense well and her characters are diverse and entertaining.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
