The Silver Chain (The Unbreakable Trilogy #1) by Primula Bond


The Silver Chain by Primula Bond


From Goodreads
Bound by passion, she was powerless to resist.

One dark evening in London, photographer Serena Folkes is indulging her impulsive side with a night-time shoot. But someone is watching her – mysterious entrepreneur Gustav Levi. Serena doesn’t know it yet, but this handsome stranger will change her life forever…

Serena is fascinated by Gustav, the enigmatic owner of the Levi Gallery, and she soon feels an irresistible pull of attraction. The interest is mutual, and Gustav promises to launch Serena’s photographic career at his gallery, but only if Serena agrees to become his exclusive companion.

To mark their agreement, Gustav gives Serena a bracelet to wear at all times. Attached to it is a silver chain of which he is the keeper. With the chain Gustav controls Serena physically and symbolically – a sign that she is under his power.

As their passionate relationship intensifies, Gustav’s hold on the silver chain grows stronger. But will Gustav’s dark past tear them apart?

A seductive and beautifully written novel for erotic romance fans. The Silver Chain is the first in the sexy, passionate and addictive Unbreakable Trilogy by Primula Bond.
 
My thoughts

I was sent this ARC copy of the story by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This story is due to be published on 04.07.13 by Harper Collins UK, Avon.
I really enjoyed this tale of the relationship between Serena a promising young photographer and Gustav an entrepreneur, who sees her potential in more ways than one.

I felt the story was quite well written and it took me a day to read as I romped through it and didn't want to put it down. It's classed as an erotic read and whilst there are some more indepth sexy parts than a normal romance novel, it's not gratuitously littered with them and is rather on the tame less offensive side and in my eyes should appeal to more people than the label erotic genre might give it.

I loved the chain idea and think it's quite an unusual attachment to link them together. Whilst Serena is quite young, she fully understands what she is getting into when she agrees to Gustav's contract and the chain that binds them.

In this story we learn quite a lot about Serena and her past, we also get glimpses into Gustav's past and I feel that we will learn more about that in the second part of the trilogy.

I quite liked the cliffhanger ending to the story and it will encourage me to seek out the next book to find out what happens to them both and the other characters that we are introduced to Crystal (Gustav's PA/Assistant), Dickson (Chauffeur/Pilot/Chef), Polly (Serena's cousin) and Pierre (Polly's boyfriend).

Please hurry up with the second book Primula Bond.
