Welcome to the Wednesday’s Favorites post. In the Wednesday’s
Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think
deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that
aren’t so
popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts of genre’s
will have
a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is ‘The Gilded Cuff‘ by Lauren Smith, a book I read in February 2015.
About the Book:
Every passion has it’s price…
From the moment Sophie enters his shadowy, sensual domain, Emery Lockwood knows
this tantalizing new little sub was meant to belong to him. However, Sophie
wants more from Emery than just pleasure . . . she wants his past. And that is
something he isn’t willing to give—no matter who is asking. But every moment he
spends with Sophie, Emery feels his control slipping and he knows it’s only a
matter of time before he surrenders to her heart, body, and soul.
Journalist Sophie Ryder has been following Emery Lockwood’s story since she was
a little girl. There has always been something in his haunted eyes that she
couldn’t resist and now, when she’s certain he holds the key to solving a string
of kidnappings, she’ll do anything to speak to him. Even if it means venturing
deep into the seductive world of the Gilded Cuff, a luxurious BDSM club on Long
Island’s Gold Coast and Emery’s personal playground.

Praise for ‘The Gilded Cuff’:
was a dramatic, sexy, and suspenseful romance between two people drowning in
survivor’s guilt. Lauren Smith crafted an intriguing plot with strong secondary
characters. Ms. Smith also created strong women who were brave and courageous;
they were unwilling to sit on the sidelines while the men confronted the
danger.
amazing and is one of my favorite books of the year. I loved the characters so
much.
two broken people coming together and beginning to heal each other is
compelling. And the unexpected direction that the story takes left me hanging
on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. I enjoyed ‘The Gilded Cuff’ so much, that I am eager
to read the next installment in the Surrender series, The Gilded Cage.
filled with romance and also keeps you at the front of your seat. There
are a lot of thrilling and action filled
moments in this book, when someone tries to hurt Emery and his loved ones. This
book just doesn’t get boring.
thing: Bravo Lauren Smith!!
