Since the Surrender


A Man of Action . . .

Fearless. Loyal. Brilliant. Ruthless. Bold words are always used to describe English war hero Captain Chase Eversea, but another word unfortunately plays a role in every Eversea's destiny: trouble. And trouble for Chase arrives in the form of a mysterious message summoning him to a London rendezvous . . . where he encounters the memory of his most wicked indiscretion in the flesh: Rosalind March—the only woman he could never forget.

A Woman of Passion . . .

Five years ago, the reckless, charming beauty craved the formidable Captain's attention. But now Rosalind is a coolly self-possessed woman, and desire is the last thing on her mind: her sister has mysteriously disappeared and she needs Chase's help to find her. But as their search through London's darkest corners re-ignites long-smoldering passion and memories of old battles, Chase and Rosalind are challenged to surrender: to the depths of a wicked desire, and to the possibility of love.

Thanks for starting the thread, Priya.

I'm just over halfway through (up to chapter 15 not including) and to be honest, I'm a bit confused with the plot.

I really don't understand why (view spoiler)[Chase is so obsessed with the paintings from the museum and the brothel. It would make more sense if the angel resembled Lucy in some way and a connection could be made between her disappearance and the paintings, but that is not the case so far ... (hide spoiler)]

Chase and Rosalind do have great chemistry, but their romance seems to be taking a back seat to the paintings and the puppets. I wish the focus was more on their back story and their developing relationship, which at this point is based on little more than lust.

Kinkade is definitely a (view spoiler)[slimy piece of work though and I'm sure he had something to do with Lucy's disappearance (hide spoiler)].

I am a slow reader. So I took this long to reach chapter 15 and read the spoilers. I am tired of Cows, Puppets and the songs. (view spoiler)[As for the paintings, I hope they are going to point to Lucy or atleast to a hidden room behind the wall. (hide spoiler)]

I agree with you about the H and h's romance.

Do you think Mr. Lavay mentioned in Chapter 15 is the same one the gypsy girl predicted to Violet Redmond?

Finished reading. (view spoiler)[The intimate scenes had bad timings. Of all the places, they had sex in the museum. Twice! When they were supposed to be searching for Lucy. (hide spoiler)]

To be honest, I really wasn't paying that much attention. The ridiculous situations got in the way of me trying to follow the plot.

This book is definitely the worst of hers that I've read. I understand that the next books are better and I have them both on my Kindle so I will continue with the series despite the idiocy of this one.

I couldn't get book#4 at my library and I read book#5 for our group read. At this point, I am not inclined to continue with this series, though I want to read Lyon Redmond's story( which happens to be the last book of the series).

Are you planning to read the entire series?

I got books #4 and #5 a couple of years ago as Kindle deals so I will read them (not sure when) and then decide if I want to continue.
