This was the third book I had read by this author and I feel this is more of an erotic romance than just straight-forward erotica. At first I wasn't quite sure what I thought, it seems to start off slowly but by the end I was right there with the characters. I cried, laughed, gasped......and yes got that fun tingly feeling at the 'sparky' parts.The story's tension builds perfectly, I felt a strong connection to Serena almost immediately, and as the story progresses you really see her character develop. When we first meet Serena she seems fragile and almost innocent....or maybe more naive than innocent, and as the book continues we don't see her character change we just see more of her that was hidden at the beginning, we get glimpses into why she behaves the way she does. While Gustav's character seems to be a bundle of contradictions wrapped up in a very controlling package, it is only as the story goes on, we find that he is not at all what he seems, and like Serena is very much a product of his past.That was one of the things I loved about this book, the characters were very believable, they were so well-developed that you felt they could be people you knew, and as the story progressed you truly wanted to know what happened to them, to find out how their lives continued. I was very glad when I came to the end of The Silver Chain that I already had the second book in the series, because I really wanted to keep reading. If you're thinking of a purchase would definitely suggest you buy the whole trilogy at the same time.There will probably be comparisons to the Fifty Shades books by E.L. James, however I feel it is a comparison that does THIS trilogy a disservice; these books are smart, well-written, carefully thought-out, and show a master-slave relationship as a mutual partnership involving trust and respect. I can only hope they become even half as popular as the 50 Shades books. Sent to me by HarperCollins UK, Avon via NetGalley for an honest review.This book takes itself way too seriously....I was not able to finish reading this book. I found that I just didn't like the two main characters and I grew tired reading the endless paragraphs of descriptive text of locations or inner struggles of the main female character. I would have liked to have read about "The Silver Chain" and seen its introduction into the narrative, but I found myself losing concentration and interest in this story and could not continue readingI would not be interested in reading the rest of this trilogy
