This is a couple that is put through the proverbial ringer yet still manages to find a way to stick together.
Bizzy’s been in love with Shaw since the moment she walked into his little brother’s hospital room when she was 15 years old. Β He’s always been the other rock in her life. Β But one innocent kiss changes everything for them.
I always enjoy a falling for the older brother romance. Β This one was a little different since Bizzy had a very strong connection to all three brothers. Β From the moment Shaw meets Bizzy in Nick’s hospital room, you could see the connection between the two of them. Β I’m not really sure why it took ten years and this particular innocent kiss to change the way Shaw saw Bizzy, but once his blinders were lifted the man was all in. Β He took the characteristics that made him an awesome agent and used that to put the full course press on Bizzy when it came to their relationship. Β Good thing she was all too willing to follow him.
The relationship between Bizzy and Shaw worked on many levels and it was easy to see how these two could go from being friends to lovers. Β And with everything this couple went through, it was easy to see why even when Shaw was at his worst, it was easy for Bizzy to forgive him.
My only issue with the book came with the villainous, Sasha. Β She was over-the-top evil and it never made sense to me how she twisted things into what she did. Β She was good for throwing a wrench into the works for Bizzy and Shaw, but in the end, I think there could have been a better way to use this situation to show the strength of Bizzy and Shaw’s relationship without Sasha’s borderline crazy antics.

Now, meet the real me. I grew up in the south and consider myself a true βSouthernerβ. Most of the special locations mentioned in my books are reflections of my favorite places. Living on the Florida coast, my family spends a lot time at the beach which is where I usually can be found with a book in my hand. I started writing my Surrender Series, in the spring of 2013 and have received incredible support from the Indie community. Throughout this year, I have been privileged to meet some amazing people that I am thankful to have in my life.
