“Blondie”Chained Brides of the Kindred Book #9I love Evangeline’s “Brides of the Kindred” series, so when Chained was finally released of course I jumped on it.  Now let’s see if I can entice you.This read will have you laughing, holding your breath, pacing the floors and cussing out loud.  Trust me.You have Maggie Jordan aka “Blondie” a nickname given to her by Kor, an accident prone, intelligent, courageous, shy Xenobotanist/Xenobotanist.  Who has a heart as big as the world.  She absolutely cannot tolerate anything or anyone being mistreated or in pain.  She’s very loyal and steadfast to her twerp of a fiancé’ Donald Mahony who is a workaholic, scrawny build, has no time for sex, cloitus as he refers to the act and is OCD. I get the impression their engagement is one of convenience on his part.Korexiroth The Demon aka Therron aka Kor given this name by Maggie. A huge muscled warrior and sexy as hell. Kidnapped as a baby by demons, sold as a slave and groomed from childhood for the Blood Circuit Arena.  A murderous felon slated for death but sold as a slave to Lady Pope’nose who wanted to break him and make him her body slave.  Kor is part touch kindred and something else not sure what.  But he does have a power that can be used to destroy or heal.  He uses on Maggie for her eyes.The Swamp Witch Xandra, Therron’s biological mother and working with a shadow demon her husband.  The Shadow Demon and Xandra need to plant the seed of hate/pain so Therron will come back to them.  The Shadow Demon will indwell Kor’s body and The Swamp Witch can exact her revenge.  You see shewas  impregnated by a kindred who left her for another (his mate). You will be shocked when you find out who Therron’s aka Kor’s biological father is.As the story progresses you see and feel the inner turmoil Maggie goes through to mask her feelings for Kor.  Her inner voice keeps reminding her of her Fiancé and not intending to she is constantly hurting Kor emotionally.  Kor tries to walk away from her twice only to be right back with her.  Maggie is kidnapped and held captive for six months by Lady Pope’nose for stealing her prized slave Kor and helping him to escape.  Lady Pope’nose keeps Maggie is a stasis state for 6 months and has her implanted with a slut button and taken to be sold as a slave.  Kor and Maggie’s paths continue to cross and a bond is formed only to be tested again when her twerp fiancé Donald is indwelled by a shadow demon and walks in front of a bus.In the end the ultimate sacrifice is made by Maggie in order to save Kor.  I loved Kor and my heart went out to him.  I can’t wait for the next Kindred book to be released. I give this read 5* and highly recommend reading the entire series if you have not.
