I was expecting a rollicking, laugh filled romp when I opened this book but instead found a delicate balance of humor, powerful emotion, and amazing character growth. SURRENDER A DREAM starts out on a serious note when we meet Montana as a young boy and watch his life fall apart. Then the book turns light-hearted as Montana and Addie take drastic measures to rid themselves of each other. Sometimes their tactics are hilarious and other times I wanted to throttle them. As the story ends it again t...more

Some of the funniest scenes I've ever read in a romance book. Witty. Sexy. HOT. Starts off serious, but soon has you laughing so hard you need dry your eyes. You don't know what is going to happen next!! This a "glued to the pages" book. The type of story that you'll always remember and the book will be on your keeper shelf....no doubt. Highly recommend.
This was a hilarious, funny and a moving romance;)
beautiful..one of the best contemporary romances I have read!
Overall, a definite keeper with 5++++ stars!!!
