Silken Chains (Black Lace) [Mass Market Paperback]

Jodi Nichol (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2003 | Series: Black Lace

Fleeing from her scheming guardian and the prospect of a dull arranged marriage to a much older man, Abbie - a blonde and beautiful, but sexually innocent young Victorian woman - is thrown from her horse. On regaining consciousness, she finds herself in a great house which has been lavishly modelled on the palaces of Indian princes - and the virtual prisoner of the attractive and extremely wealthy Leon Villiers - the Master. Eastern philosophy and eroticism form a basis of the master's opulent lifestyle, and he introduces Abbie to sensual pleasures far beyond the bounds of her imagination. She is, however, reluctant to submit completely to his will and, as her guardian's search for her continues, her liberty is further jeopardised. Can the situation ever be resolved?

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, February 20, 2000

This review is from: Silken Chains (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read a lot of Black Lace, and this has to be one of the best. In many Black Lace titles, the heroines have more than one partner, but in "Silken Chains", the hero and heroine are with each other exclusively. This reads more like a historical romance. Abby is escaping marriage to an older man, arranged by her guardian/uncle, and suffers a fall from her horse. She awakens in a manor house, which is decorated like an Eastern palace. It is ruled by a man they call Master. He is very gentle with Abby and the two fall in love. A very erotic coming of age tale. I enjoyed it very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Passion Searching Plot, September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Silken Chains (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

It's actually a story that sets in the victorian times, where the high born ladies are kept from knowing and hearing about what goes on between men & women. Personally I think that this is a erotically sweet story being my first black lace book where it has a nice, short & simple plot of a high born lady who is ignorant & yet interested to know her passion & what goes on behind closed doors. HAS SOME HOT & EXOTIC SCENCES IN THE STORY.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to standards, August 3, 2003

This review is from: Silken Chains (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read a number of black lace books this one fell short of my expectation. This book is set in a victorian setting with a curious virgin as the heroine and a enlish gentleman with strong eastern overtones as the "hero." This put me off right away, being not only increadably passe but completely improbable. This set up also had the side effect of jolting me out of the world the author was creating.

This book gets three stars because the scenes were good. The main characters in this book only have intercourse with each other which is a nice change from other black lace books. It also contains a lot of role playing between the main characters.
