The Gilded Chain by Lauren Smith – Review & Giveaway
Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM / The Book Depository
DESCRIPTION
Explore a hidden world of erotic fantasies, where the greatest pleasures are stolen and the fiercest passions are untamed. . .
For years, Callie Taylor has been obsessed with two things: a man she can never have and escaping to Paris where she can follow her artistic passions. But everything changes when Callie meets Wes Thorne, a wealthy, mysterious art collector and famous dominant. Despite all the nights she’s spent dreaming of another man, it is Wes’s predatory gaze that suddenly consumes her every thought and sets her body on fire. One touch from him promises unforgettable passion, but Callie knows that passion often comes with a price…
From the moment he sets eyes on Callie, Wes is intrigued by her artistic talent and her delightful innocence of all things erotic. A stolen kiss leaves him aching and desperate to claim her in a way he’s never wanted any woman. But first he must convince her to surrender her control. And what better place to seduce an artistic soul like Callie’s than Paris?
REVIEW
5 out of 5 for this reader folks! 🙂
The Gilded Chain by Lauren Smith is the third book in her Surrender series and the one that I was looking forward to the most so far. I read this series all at once, so I felt like the build up for this third book was a long yummy tease as opposed to reading them on release days and letting time pass by. I was completely immersed into this world where hot male Dom meets sexy sub, finds their way to each other through heartache, angst and odds. I have to tell you though, these stories are all tied together perfectly so I do recommend you read this entire series. There is way too much you will miss if you do not!
Wes Thorne (swoon Wes), is a wealthy art collector, very sexy, unavailable for anything long term, playboy, guarded and a Dom. No woman has ever kept his attention long term and life is for what he desires, when he desires it. He makes no apologies for who he is and takes what he wants. Right now … Wes wants Callie.
Callie Taylor is an artist, sweet, innocent, hardworking, talented and very heartbroken. She has to come to terms with the man of her dreams falling in love with another. She has sworn off men and decided to strictly concentrate on her art. When she is literally swept away to Paris, she is completely blanketed in art and an attraction to a man she feels she has no right to be attracted to. How can she feel this pull to Wes if he heart was supposedly given to another?
Thrown together with a dash of mystery, and a whole lot of passion, Wes and Callie explore a BDSM relationship. Wes feels himself coming alive and well … FEEL! Callie learns that her heart isn’t as shattered as she thought it to be. Both learn to let go by indulging in passion via bedroom play and art.
HOLY HOT READ! If you are into erotica and/or BDSM novels, please do yourself a favour and check this series out. I was completely sucked into the awesome formula of stunning bad boy and sweet innocent girl falling in love. I loved the mystery story line that Lauren has included in each novel of this series as well .. AND I am in serious anticipation of the next book.
If you are looking for an indulgent smutty read this holiday season, I highly recommend this one!
HAPPY READING! 🙂
