Walking down the street and watching people go about their day-to-day life, but thinking strange, even dangerous things.
I still clearly remember the day I stood at the traffic lights in downtown Melbourne. There she was, sitting in her car, waiting for the lights to change green. Tapping her fingers impatiently.
Something inside my head went off. Kaboom! An idea formed, and became the beginning of a novel.
Instead of sitting patiently at the lights, she was nervous, extremely anxious as she was being pursued by killers. The next thing she knew, an angry, crazy man was slamming her windscreen with a sledgehammer and she was running for her life.
Yes, the life of a writer is quite unique.

A quick and fun read, Sarah’s Surrender immersed me in the sights, sounds, and smells of the old west. Author Cheryl Wright does a great job of using internal and external dialogue to create complex characters. Luke Carson, the male protagonist is wonderful. I loved watching him stumble and fumble his way through his growing feelings for Sarah who he married for convenience. And I enjoyed watching Sarah bloom under the respect of Luke and his workers after having such a difficult life under her uncle. Twists and turns kept me turning pages, and the happily-ever-after was the perfect ending.

A Christian mystery . . . not one I would usually have chosen, but glad I did. A quick read, great characters, and a feel good story.

Sarah's Surrender is Cheryl Wright’s contribution to the Westward Home and Hearts Mail Order Brides series. It is exactly what I would expect from her stories. Though it just under ninety pages, it is full of heartbreak, perseverance, and love. I loved Sarah right from the start. I admired her determination and strength. Luke is just what she needs. I liked the mild suspense included in the story and was hoping for Sarah’s happiness in the end. I loved it!
Sarah's Surrender is getting a very well deserved from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading heartwarming historical romance novellas. I would love to read more from the Westward Home and Hearts Mail Order Brides series.

Okay, so Sarah and Luke's story is basically the perfect recipe for a delicious romance novel. You've got your drama, your villainous shenanigans, and your romance that's equal parts sweet and sizzling. And let's not forget Wright's genius move of making the bad guy a major player from the very start, which adds an extra layer of tension and excitement to the story. It's a total page-turner, with a lovely, clean, and wonderful romance that'll leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Definitely a must-read!

"I don't want to let you go"
Sarah may be mentally strong and physically used to working the ranch, but grief, verbal abuse, physical threats and a kidnapping have left her a terrified shell of herself. Running is her only option, but Luke accepts her with open arms and his love, affection and care have Sarah growing in confidence and once again blossoming. A beautiful romance showing love can grow from adversity. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Sarah's Surrender
I loved this mail-order bride story about Sarah and Luke. Sarah has decided to become a mail-order bride after she is kidnapped by a drunk that wants to marry her. Even though Luke doesn't want a real marriage, when Sarah's stalker shows up at the ranch he'll do anything to make sure she's safe. A sweet story that has great characters and a great plot, filled with mystery, suspense and of course, a HEA.

Great characters. I really enjoyed the plot. Very engaging and has you on the edge of your seat as to what might happen next. The romance was sweet and you could feel how comfortable the relationship was. This was a great read and would highly recommend it.
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

I loved this story by Cheryl Wright. An exciting storyline, honest reasons for marrying, for Luke a cook, housekeeper and heir, for Sarah, protection from a stalker/disgruntled suitor, danger, mystery and a twist or two. I found myself drawn into Sarah’s fear. Be prepared to being unable to stop reading.
