This book starts out very goofy. Vivian is about to turn 21 and she is head over heels for Liam, her guy best friend. But she doesn't tell her and he doesn't tell her about his mutual feelings that he has toward her.
When Vivian gets kidnapped she falls head over heels with a another guy TYSON, or his real name Dominique. What happens when her year is up? Will her and Liam get together like they planned secretely or will she give into her Flame personality and go for the 6ft 4ish tall handomnly guy that actually kidnaps her?! Read the book and find out.

I got this book from NetGallery in exchanged for an honest review.
Absolutely amazing! The story is really original, the characters are fantastic and I loved the way it ends. I even cried when Vivian goes back home!
I am really looking forward to the next book and continuing the story. Five big big stars!!!

Very interesting read, I wasn't to sure on the story with Liam at the beginning I didn't feel that there was anything added to the book by his chapters until the end. On the other hand I found flames story very engaging and would happily read again.

dark captivating read. a good book

Vivian is just about to celebrate her 21st birthday with her best friends one of which she has had a crush on for many years. On the eve of her birthday she is taken by a group of people. Thinking it is her best friends she doesn't put up that much of a fight. What she doesn't know is she will soon join a group of six other girls at a sex club.
At the club, Vivian meets Tyson aka Domininc, who is hied to guard Vivian from the suitors. The two develop a close bond and eventually fall in love. Once Vivian's year at the sex club is up she needs to decide who she will choose. Dominic or her longtime crush/best friend. This was a great book. Vivian and Dominic had a special bond from the time she was taken. I can't wait to read the other installments from this story and find out how it all ends. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long.

This erotic romance is on the darker side. Twenty-one year old Vivian is expecting to be whisked away by her best friend, Maddie, and Liam, the guy she is in love, with to celebrate her birthday. Instead, she is kidnapped and taken to The Chamber where she will be used sexually for the next year. It isn't the promise of wealth at the end of the year that makes her cooperate, it's the threat against her family and friends. So begins Vivian's story of captivity and self-discovery. With an inner strength she never imagined she possessed, she bonds with the six other victims and discovers love she has only dreamed of with her guard, Tyson aka Dominic. Although the subject matter is disturbing, the author doesn't go to horrifically dark places as one might expect. I had mixed feelings about some of the characters but I guess their flaws just added to their believability. I couldn't put this book down and I want to read the rest of the books in the series.

When I began reading this book I was a little in shock that someone would just take a woman/girl out of her bed in the middle of the night but that is exactly what happens to Vivian on the night before her birthday. Thinking her friends are kidnapping her as part of her surprise she goes along willingly till the silence makes her realize that the hood over her head is not from her friends. When her kidnappers realize she has caught on she is knocked out. When she comes too she is on an airplane going somewhere and no one will tell her anything, they knock her out again and she comes to in a room with six other girls. She is so upset when she realizes she may never see her parents,brother or her friend Maddie or her true love Liam. Mason,the man running this show explains if they do exactly as they are told no harm will come to their friends or family. They are each assigned a new name because they can't use their real names in the Chamber and Vivian becomes Flame, they are also assigned guards for their stay there and Flame is happy to see its Tyson who was nice to her when they took her. Mason explains the program to them and that they have to stay for a year and be sex toys for thirty five men who have won the lottery. Flame is terrified because she is a virgin but Mason soon singles out the virgins and gives them a special lesson to rid them of their virginity before they are introduced to the chamber. She is lucky that Tyson is chosen to get her ready for Mason but the size of Tyson scares her to death but he is gentile with her.
Soon she and Tyson become close and she feels brave enough to do this as long as he is right there watching her keeping her safe, but something goes wrong and he cant save her. You have to read this story to find out all of it because it keeps you going. This story has a lot of erotica but also romance, sisterhood and discovery. I can't wait to read Weeping Violet book two of the series even though this can be read as a standalone.

This isn't for the faint of heart or the easily offended. There are many uncomfortable sexual situations and issues. However, the main character is someone the reader can respect, even if you don't agree with their choices. There is an unexpected hea, so even though dark at times, you end on a positive note. Not the best literature I've read but it is one of the best in this genre that I've come across. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Darkly captivating, though some of the subject matter was disturbing and hard to read, the author did not go to the horrible dark places.

After reading the description of this book I thought I’d find it difficult to read. I am uncomfortable with any subject around torture and slavery. But this was a little different.

I found the story interesting and well written. It was easy to follow and characters likable. Yes there were a lot of sex scenes, but they were in the right places and flowed well within the story, they didn’t feel like the author just tried to be as dirty as possible, they actually belonged.

I think the reason that I found it easy to read was that Vivian’s imprisonment didn’t feel like slavery. On one hand she was kidnapped and held in a sex club for a year, but got some pretty good enjoyment out of it too and she also got to meet Dominic - her safety latch, her rescuer, her light.

They belonged together right from the start and it was lovely to read how their love blossomed. Also it's lovely to see how Vivian develops bonds and friendships with the other women in The Chambers.

On the other hand and hence the 3.5 stars – the story just isn’t believable. The whole set up of The Chamber I get and I understand that places like that do most likely exist. But surely no woman would behave as easily as these seven girls have in The Chamber. And if a guy falls in love with someone as strongly as Dominic has, how could you sit there and watch as she’d being used by so many others?

Overall though I have enjoyed the book and would love to read the next installment.

Thank you to Netgalley for access to this book in exchange for an honest opinion.

This is book one in the "Seven Chamber" series. I will say that this is my first time reading D.W. Marshall writing. It was a very hot, kinky girl taken without of choice type read. This is a type of fantasy book so you have to keep that in mind when reading this. Vivian is excited for the next day as it is her 21 birthday and her friends have a surprise for her. Vivian also has decided to try and win the heart of one of her male friends and possible loose her virginity to him. But that night she is kidnapped and taken with several other women to a secret location. Vivian finds out that they are going to be in this situation for one year while they pleasure 35 lottery winning men for their services. Once the year is complete they will be given money and be made to be very wealthy ladies. Each lady is assigned a "guard" to keep them safe from the men that enter into their chambers. As I started this review I said keep in mind this is a fantasy of sorts. None of the girls really protected and none really tried to escape...so that part for me didn't seem real and all seem to be okay with doing this for a year. There is kind of a love back story with one of the "guards'. If you are looking for hot, fantasy story then this is your book.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

If you can accept that this novel is 100% fantasy, then you may be able to like it. The premise of the novel is a young woman (about to turn 21) is kidnapped and sent to a place where she is to have sex with men she doesn’t know for a full year or risk her family’s safety. I know there are many out there who have sexual fantasies about being kidnapped and raped and all that, and that works for them. For other, it can leave a bad taste in your mouth or triggering. However, the author tries to romanticize it, avoiding the dark realities of what really happens in situations like this (because kidnapping women for sex is still very prevalent even in the US). She takes this dark theme of being kidnapped for sexual reasons, and tries to give it a love story. Many would just call it Stockholm Syndrome. If you can get past the ridiculous premise of the plot, the erotic are actually pretty steamy. The author definitely knows how to write a panty ruining scene. Despite the ludicrous plot that seemed to only exist to create certain sexual situations, I enjoyed the author erotic writing. If the plot is something that doesn’t bother you, then this is an erotica for you.

Vivian is a 20 year old woman, looking forward to her Birthday. She is absolutely in love with her best friend Liam. The night before her surprise party she is Kidnapped from her bed. She feels its her friends playing a joke. So she plays along. Until she realized it was not her friends. After a long 1 year apart from everyone and everything she knows. She would be returned home to her family. During the time she was gone she found the new love of her life.

I was hesitate to read this book based on the synopsis of it but once I did I was captivated. I ended up reading this book in two days. The storyline was fantastic and all the characters just made me fall for them. I can't wait to read the next one!

I really did like this book even though maybe I should have been a bit more shocked and offended or something by the storyline. Great reading - thanks
