Publisher's summary

From the "must-read author" (Romance Junkies) of Letting Go - the new novel in her Surrender Trilogy.

In her sensational Breathless Trilogy, New York Times best-selling author Maya Banks tested the boundaries of desire. In her new trilogy, there’s only one thing left to do: cross them. Now, the story continues as one woman, haunted by the shadows of the past, explores the possibilities of a new beginning in ways she never could have imagined.…

Kylie sees the way Jensen looks at her. The dark promise in his eyes. That rough edge of dominance she knows he possesses. But dominance is the one thing that frightens her above all else. She and her brother barely survived a childhood steeped in violence and abuse. She could never give up total control and submit to a man. Especially a man like Jensen. Could she?

Jensen sees the shadows in Kylie’s eyes. Knows he has to tread very carefully or risk losing any chance he has with her. All he wants is the opportunity to show her that dominance doesn’t equal pain, bondage, or discipline. That emotional surrender is the most powerful of all, and that to submit fully to him will fulfill the aching void in her heart in a way nothing else ever will.

Like the story

However the narration was less than good. I preferred a male narration. But story anyway.

The Narrator ruined it for me

The story itself is okay, I wish I had actually read this one instead of listening to it. It isn't my favorite Maya Banks, The characters are TOO damaged to let the story really heat up.

The real deal breaker though was the narration. Kylie is sooooo whiney I spent a good deal of time gritting my teeth thru her portions, And her man's tones, sounds a little like......well.....Forrest Gump. My internal loop kept playing "Run Forrest Run" and Stewie's "Mom Mom Mom Mommy Mommy Mommy." which made it a little tough to get into the parts that actually were hot.

Gave In, terrific

I was not as pleased with the1st book in this series, but #2 was fantastic!

Good book

This was an okay book easy storyline to follow
the narrator voice change threw me off a bit , took some getting used too.
I liked the development of the characters as well .

great reads

love this series

all Ms. Banks books ate great
I am looking forward to seeing more

narrator was not good

the overall story was good, but the narrators voice and how ahe read it, made the book almost unbearable to listen too.

Better read than audio

Again, the narrator’s voice is wonderful as a female, but horrible accent for the male lead (Jensen). Good story.

great listen

this book was great....still could have a better narrator....the more I listen the easier it gets....but all in all good book in the series

Reader is the problem

Listened to this book in spite of the reader. Her accent doesn't bother me--it's the nasal tones that are painful. Love Maya Banks--

Ugh! Sooooo BORING!

Ugh! It was Sooooo BORING! I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Not up to Maya Bank's other books.
