Surrender is an intriguing love story with lots of angst, hot sex scenes, and likeable characters. ~ Shadow, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
Julie Keaton had everything—she had a new career in a new city and, more importantly, a bright future with fiance, Jason Sherman. That is, until the day she discovered that he had been killed in Afghanistan. In one moment, her life changed, as everything she’d hoped for died along with him.
Years later and Julie still feels the aftershocks of Jason’s death. She is no longer the same adventurous, open girl; now she wears armor around her heart in order to protect the most important thing in her life—her son.
But when Julie meets the mysterious Neal, she starts to feel the smallest flicker of hope, as what began as a fling quickly becomes something more. Neal is the first man since Jason’s death to break down her armor and make her believe again. But when she discovers the secret he’s been keeping, she has to ask herself: can she surrender to a future with Neal or will Jason’s death forever tie her to the past?
Review copy provided for an honest review
Julie Keaton has been single since the death of her fiance, Jason, in Afghanistan. She is terrified that his son will also grow up to join the military and be killed in war. She has no plans to have a man in her life-and then she meets Neal. What starts as a weekend fling quickly becomes more, and she still hasn’t told Neal about Will. But Neal has his own secrets and Julie suddenly sees history repeating itself.
I liked Julie. Once a free spirit devoted to dance, she did whatever it took to raise her son. Neal is also likeable, but I didn’t like that he took so long to tell Julie his secrets, especially once he knew her history. But otherwise, he is honorable, loving and his rapport with Will is extraordinary.
This is a great light summer read for anyone who loves a good romance.
Thanks Shadow
