I wasn't sure what to make to of this book when I first started reading it just after it was released. Serena, a young woman who has left her hometown in search of a new life, a photographer looking for her big break. Gustav, a mysterious, rich stranger who attaches himself to her and wants to make her his own, his possession. This is when I was struggling, when I wasn't sure if I would continue to read. 
 Gustav made me mad, wanting to have someone to bribe into being his sex slave and being so domineering like that. I thought Serena was being stupid and reckless. I couldn't fathom why someone would want to be someone's possession, someone's play thing and be willing to be attached to him via a chain so that she can't escape or run away. There was something about the situation and the fact that I hated them both that kept me wanting to read. The both sucked me into the book and kept me wanting to find out what becomes of them both and this strange situation they were in. As I read I found that I started to warm towards Gustav, he changed nicely within the book, him and Serena both did. I found myself beginning to understand why Serena couldn't stay away. (view spoiler)[ It wasn't the fact that she was his possession, that she was his play thing for him to do with as he pleased, or that it was this contract that caused her photographs to be displayed in his art gallery until they sold out, that kept her coming back for more. It was him, this dark handsome stranger that she couldn't get out of her head. The mind blowing sex that they were having, and the mysterious air about him that kept drawing her back towards him.

 I've already pre-ordered this second book in the series. Without giving anything away, I loved the ending and I really didn't see that coming. Looking back, I should have seen it coming, there were plenty of hints within it that it was going to end like that, but they were placed around nicely so that it didn't even enter my head that it would go that way at all. I look forward to reading more from this series and more from this author too. This was the first time I'd read a book from her, and it certainly won't be my last.
