REVIEW:
The Surrender by Jodi Ellen Malpas was an emotionally-charged masterpiece that plunged me back into Jude and Amelia’s intoxicating, pulse-pounding love story. The Surrender picks up where The Invitation left off, but with a thrilling plot full of twists and turns and even more passion, pain and raw vulnerability than before. This captivating sequel simmered with delicious second-chance tension as Jude, the enigmatic, charismatic billionaire, steadfastly fights with single-minded determination to win back the woman who owns his heart and soul following his betrayal. Amelia, whose strength was matched only by her fear of being shattered again, didn’t give in without a fight.
Their chemistry was a volatile and addictive mix of searing desire, aching regret and unforgiving history that ignited on every page. Malpas’s storytelling was utterly consuming as she wove together this intensely intriguing plot with the blistering steam and heart-wrenching emotion of a grand, sweeping romance. Jude was relentless in his pursuit of both his redemption and a reconciliation with the woman he loves. Meanwhile, Amelia’s battle between self-preservation and the undeniable love she felt for Jude coupled to create a powerful dynamic that proved true surrender isn’t about defeat, it’s about finding the courage to trust, even when it hurts. Five smooches from me for The Surrender by Jodi Ellen Malpas!
