Cuffs

by Loki Renard

Jerry Schwartz is an undercover, plain clothes, and just plain trouble police officer. Part of the vice squad, she's always been happy slumming it in the underworld - until a routine traffic stop puts her at odds with a beautiful woman who turns out to be her new boss.

Lara Ashcroft is a British expat with a talent for firm, but fair leadership. Brought in to whip the Belfort vice unit into shape, she expects resistance from much of the squad – but she doesn't expect to fall in love with its most difficult member on her very first day.

Accustomed to running rings around an indifferent chain of command, Jerry has some adjusting to do when it comes to Lara's strict new regime. And Lara? Well Lara might just have met her match.

DNF at 36%. This really wasn’t for me. There’s a bratty main, a new boss who fucks the bratty main in an interrogation room after scolding bratty main for being a brat...all on the same day they meet. No sparks and just a ridiculous amount of suspension of disbelief that must be held. Others have enjoyed it. Me, not so much, obviously. So, while I don’t recommend this, it could just be me and what I look for in a story. The writing isn’t bad, but I didn’t like either character and I find it really hard to believe that an intelligent woman would fuck one of her jerks of a subordinate on her first day on the job...in their place of employment. But that’s just me. Maybe if I continued on, I’d grow to like this, who knows? But I just can’t make myself do it. DNF = no rating.

“Cuffs” features police chief Lara and her disobedient brat vice-cop subordinate Jerry. They openly become lovers in a dom/sub relationship. Yeah…suspend belief.

I picked up “Cuffs”, a third book by Loki Renard, because of the brief excerpt included with one of her other books. What can I say, she writes spanking stories very well! Here are a few highlights:

Smacking people's asses was not part of standard protocol. As much as this woman walked and talked like a stickler for the rules, she'd just broken them. Jerry could respect that.

“Usually I'd be on top,” Jerry said between kisses.

“Not with me you won't be.” Lara slid her hand away and turned her fingers to the task of stripping Jerry's t-shirt and bra off. “I want you naked.”

There’s lots of kissing, spanking, and I lost track of the orgasm counts. There’s a story about a bad guy that advances the relationship between the MCs, but that story is pretty much in the background as far as the book overall.

While close to being a PWP book, there is some fun humor. For example, Jerry tries to soothe Lara:

“Bad things happen to people all the time. Just out of the blue. They can get into an accident, or get sick...”

“This isn't helping,” Lara said softly.

“I just mean...life is unpredictable. None of us are safe. Ever. Not even sitting here on this couch. There could be a tornado or a tsunami or anything at any moment. A crazed psychopath could break in here and try to turn us into skin suits. Anything could happen. An electrical appliance could short out in the night and we might asphyxiate from smoke before we hear the alarm...”

Lara smiled slightly through her tears. “You don't often give comforting talks, do you?”

“No,” Jerry admitted.

“Cuffs” is an enjoyably sexy story about two women who are lucky to have found each other. 4*

2.5 Nothing really stood out to me, but I liked it enough for a quick read. Kind of a surface story, lacked real depth.
