Giving In

The Surrender Trilogy, Book 2

De: Maya Banks

Narrado por: Alix Dale

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.

The ending is the highlight

It was similar to the first book but a better ending is all. Nothing to different

Like the story

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

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 .

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!

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 story, horrible narration.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would change the narration, it was absolutely horrible. The male voice was hideous. female sounded like a 12 year old.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Giving In?

I liked the whole story. Very romantic and touching.

What didn’t you like about Alix Dale’s performance?

The male voice was so unnatural and weird sounding it was like listening to an alien with a fake southern accent. The female voice I could half way deal with.

Did Giving In inspire you to do anything?

No.

Any additional comments?

The male voice sucked all the romance out of the book. The story would have been much more romantic and sexy with a different male voice. Giving the narration one star was generous.

Hideous narration

In such a competitive field there is NO excuse.
Enjoy author, will need to take a break before I can actually read this series. The unbelievably bad narration keeps replaying in my mind when the characters speak....and yes, Forrest Gump was male lead!!!
