Title: Sweet Surrendering
Author: Chelsea M. Cameron
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 15, 2013
Synopsis:
She’s his boss. He doesn’t care.
This office isn’t big enough for the two of them…
When Rory Clarke ends up hiring the
guy she spent one steamy night with to be her administrative assistant, she's
determined to keep things professional.
Lucas Blaine has other plans for
her. He wants Rory, and it’s hard to resist his stunning blue eyes, chin dimple
and the way he fills out a suit. Everywhere she looks, there he is, giving her
a panty-melting smile and pulling her away for the most amazing (and satisfying)
sex she’s ever had in her life.
What starts off as one sexual
encounter turns into multiple trysts in and out of the office and the lines
she’d tried to draw so carefully are blurring. But the closer they get, the
more Rory realizes that there are things about Lucas she doesn’t know, things
he’s hiding from her. She’ll have to decide if she can surrender to her
feelings or get out while she still can.
Review
I was provided
an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Aurora (Rory)
Clarke does not play games when it comes to her job. She is vice-president of
her father’s company and has worked very hard to get to where she is. So when
she meets the gorgeous Lucas Blaine during an interview for her new assistant
position, she pretty much declares that this beautiful man will not be a
distraction. That she can still do her job. Wrong!
“All because of Lucas Blaine and his stupid magical
tongue and lovely penis.”
I felt
the connection between Rory and Lucas, the moment they met. The interview scene
was one of my favorites. As Rory and Lucas (later called Lucah) work closely
together, they can no longer fight the attraction. While, Rory senses a secret past of Lucas, this does not
deter her from falling for him. She falls. Hard. What I loved most about this
story was how accurate it portrays love. You don’t get to choose who you fall
in love with or how it happens. One day it just hits you and love can make you
crazy, but feel wonderful at the same time. Love heals and it feels good to
love and be loved.
"Love
with Lucah was something I couldn’t control, and something I didn’t want to control.
Loving him was letting go. Surrendering."
Sigh. To watch Rory surrender to Lucas was
breathtaking. She let go of all her fears and hesitation. And just loved him.
I loved
the banter between all of the characters in this book. I found myself laughing
out loud, several times. I absolutely loved Rory. We need more heroine’s in
books like her. She is confident, intelligent, and witty. Lucas Blaine. You are
sweet as you are sexy. I adored Lucas’ character and his way with words. He had
me at hello. No, seriously. He did.
“I don’t want just nights. I want mornings. And mid-mornings and
late mornings and noons and afternoons and evenings and everything in between.
Sunrises, and sunsets, and twilight. I want it all.”
What a
sweet romance this turned out to be. The title is perfect. I never expected to love this book so
much! This was my first book by this author, and definitely not my last. I had
a hard time putting this one down. I enjoyed the flow of the story and the
author’s writing style. If there was a recipe of adult contemporary romance,
this would be it. There was humor, steaminess, and romance. I could not have
asked for a better read. I recommend this to any lover of romance.
P.S. Can
we have a Rory and Lucas novella? Please? I wasn’t ready for their story to be
over.
