Surrender to you - shawntelle madison

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

Surrender To You was okay. I didn't love it, and I didn't dislike it, but it just left me feeling flat. The plot was monotonous, and the main characters weren't as flamboyant as in Bound To You. Don't get me wrong, I liked Carlie, it's just that I felt indifferent to her story. She complains about celiac disease as if it is the end of the world all throughout the novel. Also, I wasn't a fan of Thomas. He seems at first as though he is this super powerful, alpha, millionaire, but the only dominating aspect about him, is his dom kink. In addition, I think that the tremendous amount of back and forth between the characters creates that disinterest in their story.

My favourite character was by far Carver. He lit up the novel for me, offering that much needed fresh relief. He is funny, lighthearted, and generous. Hopefully the next book is about him!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Random House Publishing - Loveswept in exchange for an honest review. Thank you both!

I fricking loved this book. Like LOVED it. I have just finished reading it, and my heart is racing. The good kind of racing; where you feel at ease, and pleased.

Shawntelle Madison has brought us a wonderful love story about two people, and their demons; about letting go and being bound to someone. As I write this, I am dumbfounded. I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Madison's writing is captivating and gripping from beginning to end. She has us bound from beginning to end.

I think one of the reasons why I liked this book so much, is because of the similarities between myself and Sophie (Ashley), the main protagonist in this novel. She is driven, a perfectionist, and wishes to make it in the world on her own. Being so connected with the main character in the novel made me hungry for more with each passing page. 

I absolutely recommend this novel.
