SARAH'S SURRENDER is the latest instalment in the Bound and Determined series, but can easily be read as a standalone. Ms. Kent is a wonderful writer whose strength lies in moving and vivid descriptions, as well as her ability to delve into the psyche of her characters, and the author doesn't fail us in SARAH'S SURRENDER. Understandably, as this is erotica, the sex is scorching hot, but it is how well Ms. Kent conveys Sarah's innermost feelings that really stood out for me. The author really made me understand Sarah and care for her, and Sarah is absolutely magnificent when she explodes with rage when she finally hears Jonathan's motives for refusing to marry her, which was a rather lame and cowardly excuse.
I love the startling contrast in tone between Sarah and Jonathan's points of view. Theirs are two completely different voices, and it makes for fascinating reading. I would have wished, however, that the author had been a little less expedient and the ending a trifle less tidy, as it would have made the lovers' happily ever after more believable in view of Jonathan's appalling past behaviour. Still, SARAH'S SURRENDER is a lovely addition to this brilliant series.
Book Summary
In Lavinia Kent’s scorching new eBook original novella,
two wounded hearts find that only the sweet release of
temptations long denied can heal the pain of past
sins.
Five years ago, Miss Sarah
Swilp had been deeply in love with Jonathan Perry, the
second son of an earl. But when Jonathan inherited his
aunt’s lands and money, he turned cold, demanding Sarah’s
maidenhood and uttering those unforgettably cruel words:
“You do know I won’t marry you.” She refused, of course, and
that spoiled everything. Now, just as she’s agreed to a
marriage of convenience, Jonathan reappears—and after Sarah
gets one look at his lean, hard body, the embers of desire
burst back into flame.
Over time, Jonathan
has learned quite a bit about the art of pleasure—though
nothing has ever given him so much joy as the husky timbre
of Sarah’s laugh. It had hurt to leave her, but what other
choice did he have? Perhaps he’d been too afraid of ending
up like his brother, targeted by a woman seeking a title.
Seeing her again, Jonathan can’t help wondering what might
have been if only Sarah had surrendered to red-hot lust.
Fortunately, judging by the wicked look in her eyes, it may
not be too late to find out.
Sarah’s
Surrender is intended for mature audiences. Don’t miss a
preview of the next novel in the Bound and Determined
series, Ravishing Ruby.
