About SURRENDER:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Elisabeth Naughton comes a new story in her House of Sin series…

The leaders of my House want her dead.

The men I’ve secretly aligned myself with want her punished for screwing up their coup.

I’ve been sent by both to deal with her, but one look at the feisty redhead and I’ve got plans of my own.

Before I carry out anyone else’s orders, she’s going to give me what I want. And only when I’m satisfied will I decide if she lives or dies.

Depending, of course, on just how easily she surrenders…

MY REVIEW


A well written and entertaining backstory to the House of Sin series

I loved, loved, loved the House of Sin books, and couldn't miss out on this. I wasn't sure if it involved characters I knew or if they would be totally new to me. If you've read the books then you'll know who I'm referring to when I say that these were my second favourite couple. This doesn't have the darkness of the rest of the series, but it was really good to find out how Marco and Felicity first met.

The writing is excellent, as I always expect from this author, whilst the plot had plenty of depth, twists and turns. The pace held my attention throughout and I really enjoyed reading this.

I do think the House of Sin trilogy needs to be read BEFORE this. Surrender can be read as a stand alone but the threat and intrigue of the Entente isn't fully explored in this book. Even those this is set BEFORE Luc and Natalie's story, I felt it contained a few spoilers for those books.
At times the story did feel rushed, particularly the ending. I'm sure this is because of the constraints imposed by book length and this having to be a novella. Whilst I felt I got to know Marco and Felicity enough to feel a connection to them, I didn't really feel much emotional intensity and theirs was very much an instalove story.

Overall this is a good read, I liked it and would recommend it to others.

ABOUT ELISABETH NAUGHTON

 : Elisabeth Naughton is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Elisabeth: “I was never one of those people who knew they wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary friends. I didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my relatives by firelight after Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, I was just a normal, everyday kid. I liked to read, but I wasn’t exceptional at it. And when my teachers complimented me on my writing abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however, always have a penchant for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all throughout my childhood, I should have been an actress—I was a drama queen before my time. “Years ago, my husband bought me Scarlett: The Sequel to Gone With The Wind. If you ever saw the book, you know it’s a long one. I sat and read that thing from cover to cover, and dreamed of one day being a writer. But I didn’t actually try my hand at writing until years later when I quit my teaching job to stay home with my kids. And my husband? After that week of reading where I neglected him and everything else until I finished Scarlett, he vowed never to buy me another book again. Little did he know I’d one day end up sitting at a keyboard all day drafting my own stories. “My writing journey has not been easy. I didn’t just sit down one day, decide I was going to write a book and voila! sell my very first attempt. As most authors will probably agree, the path to publication is filled with hours of work, pulling all-nighters I thought I’d given up in college, sacrifices, rejections, but a love I discovered along the way I just can’t live without. Instead of a big, thick book to read by lamplight (I do read much smaller ones when I get the chance), I’ve traded in my reading obsession for a laptop. And I’ve never been happier. “I’m one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family and fabulous husband who put up with my writing—and obsessive personality—even when life is chaotic. More than once my kids have been late to swimming or baseball because I needed just five more minutes to finish a scene. Their support and encouragement mean the world to me. I also have amazing friends and a support network I couldn’t survive without. So to all of you out there who have encouraged me along the way, sent me emails and fan letters, phone calls and congratulations, I just want to say, thank you. You make this whole writing gig that much more enjoyable. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.”
