Review: The Golden Locket by Primula Bond

The Golden Locket (The Unbreakable Trilogy #2) by Primula Bond

Description:
Temptation would test them…

The second novel in the Unbreakable Trilogy, The Golden Locket follows Gustav and Serena to New York.

Ensconced in their Manhattan penthouse, all seems blissfully happy for Gustav and Serena. Still in the first flush of love, they have every satisfaction they could need.

But as they enjoy their New York pleasure ground, ghosts start to emerge from Gustav’s past, and when his damaged younger brother, Pierre, comes back into his life, he brings with him a dangerous threat…

With temptation waiting at every turn, can Gustav and Serena survive all the excitement that the Big Apple holds?

The sexy sequel to Primula Bond’s Sunday Times Top 20 bestseller, The Silver Chain. Perfect for fans of erotic romance.

My Thoughts:
This is the second book in the Unbreakable trilogy and picks up soon after The Silver Chain, which I loved. Gustav's brother Pierre is around now and they are trying to put the past behind them. Serena is getting photo commissions and explores her more adventurous side. This one seemed more erotica than erotic romance and was a bit out of my comfort zone. Certain parts seemed gratuitous at first. However, as I read on I realized that it is important to Serena and Gustav's relationship to explore boundaries and trust. They have a very intense, unique relationship and I can't seem to look away. A new mystery at the end leaves me anxious for the third and final book.

Review: The Silver Chain by Primula Bond

The Silver Chain by Primula Bond

Description:
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:
The writing in this book pulled me in right away. I thought it was lovely. Serena is a very interesting character, to say the least. She had a traumatic childhood and her personality is kind of all over the place. She is trying to strike out on her own and ends up finding Gustav. He is a complicated guy with a troubled past. He seems to run hot and cold. It is fascinating to watch the dance these two go through as they figure out how to have a relationship. It gets quite steamy and is a fairly dark story at times. I think fans of dark erotic romance with enjoy this. The ending of this hooked me and has me looking forward to the next book. (But not to worry, there is no cliffhanger.)
