Surrender to Me

Wicked Lovers, Book 4

A secret fantasy.

Hunter had everything until a bullet put his career as a Navy SEAL on hold. Restless and in need of distraction, he accepts an intriguing proposition. Restless and uncertain about his future, he accepts an intriguing proposition: share an acquaintance’s girlfriend and fulfill her fantasy of a ménage. It should have been just a night of sexual adventure between three consenting adults. But Kata is like no other girl Hunter has ever met. By turns audacious and sexy, then vulnerable and aloof, she’s a heartbreaker he’s determined to master. But he needs more than one night. And he wants to do it alone.

An uncontrollable obsession.

Kata never expected to leave her comfortable relationship and explore something so dangerously forbidden with a stranger. Hard as she tries to resist, the guilty pleasure overwhelms her, and she surrenders herself, inch by inch, to the hardcore man who wants her for himself. Consumed by blazing desire, they’re soon threatened by the shadows of the past. And now to keep Kata safe, Hunter makes her a bold proposition of his own. Saying yes will destroy her heart. But saying no could cost Kata her life.



Surrender to Me was an emotional and sexual power house of a novel.

Hunter, who is what I call an Alpha’s alpha.  He’s complex and like a fire cracker waiting to go off. A Navy Seal and a Dom, he has the confidence needed to be both.  Things he wants don’t just slide through his fingers.  What was to be a night of fun, stops him in tracks.  Going all out, like on a mission Hunter goes after Kata and there is no stopping him.  I still am not sure what I really think of Hunter.  I don’t quite think he is the “means asshole” that he is proclaimed to be, but I don’t really love him either.  There were part of him I enjoyed and times I just wanted to snack him upside the head.

Kata is her own woman.  She is strong willed and independent.  She is the one who controls her life. When a friend set up a b-day party for Katas twenty-fifth in Vegas, Ben not only gives her a party he tries to deliver her fantasy of a ménage. In walked Hunter hitting her like a ton of bricks.   She has baggage that makes men like Hunter, throw up the red flags.  Kata learns that “What happens in Vegas”, doesn’t always stay in Vegas.  Katas mind and body conflict badly when it comes to the domineering man that is Hunter. Getting lost in a man is one thing, loosing yourself to a man is another.

I have read many of the Wicked Lovers Series books, and Surrender to Me is hands down my favorite of the six that I have read.  Yes, I will admit that I have become addicted to Ms. Blacks naughty and steamy talent for writing romance.   She knows how to deliver a book that is hot, dangerous and intense.   It also makes you look outside the box.  Surrender is not quite like the pervious in the series.  I found the emotions get a bit deeper in this one.  A powerful read!
