And a very dramatic climax The Unbreakable Trilogy reaches its unforgettable conclusion. A must-read for fans of erotic romance. Life will never be the same. Hessa Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does—until she finds herself alone with him in his room.
She told Pierre soo many lies that he stopped worshipping his big brother and started hating him. And poor Serena is right in the middle of it all, because Pierre seems a bit too interested in her and Serena is a tiny bit attracted to him too. Not everything is about the Levi's of course. Serena is in New York City now - she wants to become a famous photographer!!
And with the help of her lover she has landed her first commissions. But Serena doesn't want to betray Gustav like that. But Gustav knows his darling girl better than she knows herself. He knows she needs this - she needs her voyerism and he wants her to experiment new kinky things What's happened to her? I really loved the first book in the series - and with this horrible cliffhanger-ending I was sooooo looking forward to this second book!! And it didn't disappoint at all! I think I even loved it a bit more than the first one!!
There were so many interesting moments in this book. So many deeply erotic scenes. There's not all that much really explicitly described sex between Gustav and Serena doesn't mean there is NO sex between them!!! The whole book has this deeply erotic vibe without having a sex scene on every other page! Serena and Gustav are so adorably in love - after everything that happened in book 1 - that's really nice to see.
I couldn't put it down - or if I had to go do something else for a while, I couldn't stop thinking about the book. And of course, I needed to know if Margot will ever show up again. We - the reader - hate her so much. She's caused enough trouble already - without having been there at all!! Normally I'm not a fan of girl on girl sexiness - well, I'm still not a fan - but it didn't bother me all that much in here.
It somehow needs to be in this book. Serena needs all that experimenting. I also love how Primula describes things. The end didn't shock me as much as the end of book 1 did - but it still leaves lots of questions open I sooo want Serena and Gustav to get their happy ever after! Those 2 things are actual pieces that Gustav gives Serena as gifts and to bind her to him. Tomorrow would be nice Mrs. It's a real book!!!! I really loved it.

This book continues the story of Serena and Gustav and elaborates on the characters of Pierre and Margot. At the end of book 1 they had been surprised by the turn up of Pierre at the gallery and now we find out what happened. We find out why Pierre is angry at his brother and vice versa and how Margot manipulated the truth to get what she wanted. They brothers both hurt each other with what the say and "wonder if it's only siblings who can twist the knife" their argument is so painful. Pierre seem This book continues the story of Serena and Gustav and elaborates on the characters of Pierre and Margot.
Pierre seems proud of his behaviour gloating "You forget that I learned that kind of mischief making from the mistress herself". Margot seems to be the centre of attention and the centre of trouble again even though not in the same room. Gustav's Christmas present to Serena is a beautiful locket which she cannot remove just like her bracelet, again it's a sign of ownership, "when people see it resting on your beautiful breast the will know that you are mine, and mine only".
Inside the locket is a secret which she again has to earn. Serena is developing her business and taking on commissions, first of note is for the Weinmeyer billionaire couple. When taking pictures of their love making they try and tempt her in and at first she goes willingly but comes to her senses only to be told "Gustav will be proud of you when we report back,. You've passed the test with flying colours". He's still testing her trust and loyalty.
After this commission, Gustav decides he needs to accompany her and pretends to be her assistant. She gets drawn into the action at a photo shoot with 2 girls and again in a prestigeous, exlusive all male club. I wonder if she just radiates sex appeal and wants to join in or whether word has spread that while taking her pictures she also likes to join in?
Anyway, Gustav finds watching her is a turn on but he's confused as he's also jealous and wants her to himself, he admits "maybe I'm not as cool as I thought with this setting-free idea". Serena is drawn in by the similarties of the 2 brothers "where Gustav's face is angular Pierre's features are broader yet meaner Because it was the eyes. Black enough to drown in". Pierre starts to ingratiate himself into their lives, apparently putting the past behind them.
Serena does a photo shoot for him and sees someone who looks very like Margot. Later when alone with him, Serena quizzes him and he says she is imagining it. He then makes a pass at her and tries to kiss her but she pulls back. She describes his voice as "like the snake in The Jungle Book" and he admits he is trying to take her from Gustav, "be warned, if I can't have the woman I want, I might just have to take someone else's".
It appears Polly was spying on Pierre and caught the kiss between Serena and Pierre. She confronts Serena and shows Gustav the picture. The past comes back to haunt him, his brother is again taking his woman, but mostly, he can't trust anyone. Serena goes to pack some clothes to leave and finds an email on her ipad from Margot, she's back and intends on causing trouble.
Serena leaves the ipad and disappears, taking the Weinmayar's up on the job offer in Venice. Her job in Venice is to take photos at an exclusive masked ball which is full of debauchery. She is dressed by Crystal in an elaborate dress and wig with 5 feathers as instructed by the shop owner.
The instructions seem strange and you get a sense of trouble looming. At the ball hands are everywhere, clothes are being shed and finally a man in matching male version of her outfit draws her attention. She follows him out of the ball and through the streets all the time believing his silence as keeping the pretense of the masked ball. Only when clothes are being shed and she touches him does she feel the scars and realise it's Pierre tricking her again. She fights and frees herself and falls into the arms of Gustav near the hotel.
Has Pierre set this up so Gustav would stumble onto them having sex again? Gustav thinks Serena is confused mentioning Pierre as he assures her he isn't even in Venice but back in America. Gustav apologises and say Pierre has told him the kiss was all a mistake and nothing was intended other than a polite kiss goodbye. When Gustav hands over her ipad she checks and the email from Margot has gone.
She now is questioning herself: Did Pierre grab her after the ball and attempt to have sex with her? Gustav at last trusts her "we don't need the silver chain to bind us. However long a leash I attach to you, you will always stretch it further. It's a symbol that has run its course, because i trust, I know, that you'll always come back to me".

He throws the chain away and says he has something else for her. He opens the locket and presents her with a diamond ring and proposes. Back in New York they are getting into the swing of life as a couple again, her next exhibition is nearly ready but she has managed to avoid Pierre so far. She can't avoid him though when in innocence her asks Gustav over the phone to speak to her so he can congratulate her.
Out of his brother's earshot he confirms what he did in Venice, she wasn't imagining it, and he says she has to chose whether she damages his relationship and possibly hers with Gustav by telling him. I'm awaiting the final book now so I can find out if Pierre and Margot come clean or at least if Gustav becomes wise to the manipulation. Nov 10, NomdePlumePress rated it liked it. Almost immediately she crosses paths with Gustav Levi — older; tall, dark, and handsome; mesmerizing. And, of course, filthy rich.
They sign a contract, he tethers her to a chain I do mean literally, by the way , and the skeletons in his closet come out to torment her, but spoiler alert? Gustav grants her permission, acknowledging that at her age she deserves a bit of adventure, within reason. My hope was that I would enjoy the story more in the second book, and I did to for the most part.
Reading back over my review of the first, I see right away that there are a lot of improvements: But first, the ways in which it disappointed me, of course. It kind of caused other problems, though: But the first couple of chapters drove me up the wall more than anything. Thankfully when that was all dealt with the dialogue was much more tolerable. It weaves and rambles as it would in real life and still accomplishes what it should. Sometimes more than it needs to, of course. See exposition in the dialogue. There were other little things that really bothered me. Whatever; these are minor quibbles that for some indefensible reason I just have to get off my chest.
Also, perplexing — like, is everyone really that into her? Even all those women?
The Golden Locket (Unbreakable Trilogy, Book 2)
And it promises to stay up there in the third book. And get a lot more complicated. Which will keep me interested. Lila Reviewed from ARC. Published by HarperCollins November 21, Oct 27, Paris kerbytejas rated it liked it Shelves: The authors writing style is filled with symbolism, attention to detail, beautifully erotic passages, emotions and some great one liners. One could also describe the writing style as overly descriptive, wordy or flowery. Once I settled into reading the book, I actually came to appreciate it, I looked forward to the visual tapestry The Golden Locket by Primula Bond, Is book two in the Unbreakable Trilogy, it is a continuation of the relationship between Gustav and Serena, now living in New York.
Once I settled into reading the book, I actually came to appreciate it, I looked forward to the visual tapestry that would be laid out for me, the point where I became as voyeuristic as Serena. I enjoyed the first book of the trilogy and had high hopes for this book as well. Polly, Crystal, Pierre, and Margot reprise their roles from the first book.
More than anything this book is about relationships — Pierre and Polly, Gustav and Serena, Gustav and Pierre , Pierre and Serena, and the effect that Margot has on them all. With the exception of Crystal, who remains a supportive friend to Serena, Polly, Pierre and Margot play disruptive, dangerous, jealous, vengeful roles, constantly challenging and threatening the budding relationship between Gustav and Serena. I was disappointed that the story seemed to lack a strong plot, there were many intertwined threads, storylines of the other characters, but the book was held together with sex.
Although some of the sex scenes were beautifully written, the amount of sex seemed to become the focal point of the book. It seemed that each new photographic opportunity for Serena, not only had the erotic side of the subject matter, and a hefty commission, but lead directly to some sort of sexual encounter with the photographic subjects. We started in the states at New Years, and towards the end of the book there was a reference to 7 weeks passing.
Considering that time span of the story was maybe two and a half months give or take a day — the end of the use of silver chain and the opening of the golden locket seemed a bit premature or too soon for this relationship in my opinion.

The Golden Locket Author: But as they enjoy their New York pleasure ground, ghosts start to Title: My Thoughts so, after reading the introduction of the tale of Serena and Gustav, I had such high hopes on what could become of them since there's so much anxiety and animosity running through the relationships.
Gustav is using some of his connections to get Serena some work, and she builds a name for herself not just as a voyeur photog, but as one that acts on it a bit as well. That's a big change from the naive little girl that we met in the first book and we're starting to see that she's not only becoming a master, but is she possibly mastering Gustav?

She participates in activities with folks that a small town country girl never would think about, she becomes a temptress and seductress that men can't avoid being drawn to her and fantasize of her Throughout this story, we get a lot of insight into various sexual experiences, which of course are all designed to test Serena and see how devoted she is to Gustav? Well, what i will say is that she takes a commission to go to Venice and Gustav does not come with her In this 2nd installment, Pierre rears his ugly head towards Serena since i have a feeling that his intentions are not on the nice and innocent side.
All the while, his relationship with Polly is crumbing and that's a story line on it's own. Along with that, there's the woman that both men started their hatred of one another from, Margot, and she seems to be coming up a lot and possibly may be planning and plotting a way to come back. I have to say though, that there's one small thing that i really enjoyed about this book aside from seeing where the friendships, brotherhoods, and relationships go - it's the locket itself.

All throughout the book, we're told about this lovely gift that Gustav has given Serena, and we know that something's inside, and i'd be lying if i didn't say that EVERY page i kept wondering what was in it. So, i will have to keep my eyes open for this 3rd and final installment that's still untitled i believe, since i have a feeling that the roller coaster that we were on so far is only just beginning.

Pierre follows them there and he certainly has a big impact on the storyline. Capitalising on the success of her first art show which Gustav had played a major part in, she is now trying to establish herself in New York to the rich and famous who she has promoted her skills as an voyeuristic photographer with the acclaims sweeping over the pond from London.
It is in these commissions she lands that shows another darker and more advantageous side of Serena. Although Gustav shows conflict with this he knows he needs to let Serena experiment and act on these desires that he played a major part on being released. For me it is these areas of the book I found a little hard to take. Whilst taking the pictures of the rich couple from high society she finds herself moved from being the voyeur to being engaged in the activity.
A whole lot of WTF was going through my mind reading these scenes. Oh yes Margot was still ingrained and entwined throughout the book and her evil spread even into the relationship Serena holds with her cousin Polly.

Polly was another eye opener in this book, as in book one she was a go getter, trend setter, kick ass who let no one control her. Yet here she is with Pierre being a total doormat. It was a delight to see the trust built between Serena and Gustav and I loved the action of what Gustav does to the silver chain near the end of the book. A wonderful significance of what the chain had been throughout both books. But I guess the star of the book is the golden locket hence the title and I had tried to guess the significance of this.
Was it an ownership emblem? What was held inside? Would it be a new contract for Serena or would it mean an entirely new direction for them both? I loved that by the end of the book Serena and Gustav had overcome another hurdle and cemented a new depth of love and trust. However naughty, naughty Ms Bond leaves us with another cliffhanger! Who was the voyeur in that car outside the gallery, who left that letter and what the hell did it say? Nov 21, Gaele rated it really liked it Shelves: The second installment in the Unbreakable Trilogy picks right up where the first left off, although the tension is increasing for all concerned.
Gustav and Serena have moved to New York City, he Is supporting her efforts to launch her photography career: More information and perspective on the estrangement between Gustav and Pierre is provided, with a clever use of point of view and reflection, Primula Bond gives depth and backstory to these two characters: And that is how this series works, Bond manages to fill in earlier blanks and improve impressions while firming up motivations with each new revelation.
Gustav is far worldlier than Serena, this trip to New York is to serve a dual purpose, to educate and expose her to the options available, while also reinforcing their own bond. And giving her options to explore he does: A tangled labyrinth of a story, that manages to answer as many questions from book one as it poses for book 3.
Continuing with the jewelry theme, Gustav gifts Serena with another token, a Golden Locket: These are not books that stand alone, you must read them in order to be able to understand the bonds between the characters, and have the full impact of the sexual scenes to bring their full impact. I enjoyed this book as much as the first: A superb follow-up to the first book, and a great addition to the series, I am certainly looking forward to the conclusion.

If you have ever watched the Tom Cruise movie-Eyes Wide Shut-there is a similarity to much of the storyline premise. Following shortly after the events of The Silver Chain where Gustav comes face to face with the brother he has not seen in five years, Gustav will embark on a soul searching and revealing promise to reunite with his brother Pierre. Gustav is still a dark and tortured soul whose love for his brother is tempered by a betrayal he considers unforgivable but a betrayal where he believes his brother was used as a pawn in a game of deceit and revenge.
Gustav pulls Serena into a lifestyle she knew nothing about and in return will discover that he is having a hard time accepting that Serena is a willing participant in a different game. Pierre Levi is a man possessed. He wants what his brother has-success, wealth and love- and he will go about capturing it all even the woman who is not his to possess.
