Surrender

Coastal Elite, Book 4

De: Sam Mariano, Laura Lovett

Narrado por: Allie Shae, Theo Sinclair, Kasi Hollowell, Michael Gallagher

SOPHIE: I knew better than to go to that party. I would have been much happier curled up at home eating Halloween candy by myself, but I had Mom’s voice in my head telling me to make an effort now that I was in college, to put myself out there and socialize. If I’d stayed home, I wouldn’t have met him.

SILVAN: Men have always committed atrocities chasing after their desires. The men in my family have it down to an art form. Personally, I’ve never experienced a desire that ran so deep it poisoned my soul. Until the night I laid eyes on her. It’s really too bad she didn’t feel the same way. It could have been a fairy tale. I guess our story was meant to be something a little more twisted. Oh well. I desire Sophie Bradwell, and I don’t care how many terrible things I have to do to get her… and keep her.

Surrender was previously released as Sophie’s Surrender by the same authors, but this is the first audio release of this story. This Coastal Elite re-release contains the exclusive Coastal Elite bonus story, Sleeping Beauty.

This is a dark romance intended for a mature adult audience. If you have sensitivities to certain themes commonly found in dark romance, please make sure you listen to the author’s note at the beginning of the book.

So good

What did I just read, and why did I love it so much. This is definitely not your typical love story. So if that's what you want, this is not it. Silvan becomes obsessed with Sophie as soon as he sees her. He wants her no matter what he has to do. Sophie is sweet and just trying to live a regular college life.

I did the audio and really enjoyed it. The narrators did a great job.

Surrender

okay this was a good book. Its about a girl that doesn't like to be around big crowds, and if you want to know why you're just going to have to read/listen to it. Anyways one day her roommate invites her to a Halloween party and she meets this Devilish good looking guy. The whole time she's at this party.He's just keeping a real close.Eye on her, pretty much stalking his praying. She knows something isn't right with this guy but for some reason she get caught in his web and now he won't or doesn't want to let her go. well she be able to get away from him or will she end up in love with her Monster/ Captive? idk your just going to have to read/listen to the book.

Let's go Vikings!

I loved Silvan, he was hot and possessive! The narrator was excellent. I was good with the storyline until Sophie did the dumbest thing. No self preservation skills whatsoever.

I enjoyed the book, narration was great, and the scenes are spicy.

Beauty and the beast on steroids

Loved almost the entire story. Beauty and the beast vibe with an over the top possessive alpha. Check the trigger warnings (non/dub consent, breeding, pregnancy). Ending felt extremely rushed. She got pregnant, and married in 1 breath. Really too bad. Could have lasted longer if you ask me and would of loved more to the story. Because of this 4 stars, would have been 5 otherwise.

LOVED the narration. Both of them. Silvans voice is wonderful <3

Unhinged Amazingness

4.5 ⭐ 3.5 🌶️ 5 🎧

After Even If It Hurts I was a little reluctant to dive back into this series and Sam's stories, but OMMMGGG this is everything I was hoping for from her. Silvan is over the top obsessed and absolutely unhinged when it comes to Sophie and I couldn't get enough.

I loved watching Sophie's internal battle with her feelings for Silvan. She knew he was off kilter, but also enjoyed the love and devotion he showed her. She was a touch broken and Silvan slipped through those cracks. Would I condone this in real life, heck no, but in the pages of the book this kind of touch her and keel over adoration is one of my favorite tropes, I just loved him.

The audio was amazing. DUET narration with a partial cast and everyone rocked it. I had an absolute blast listening to this one and the almost 15hrs of audio blew by as I devoured it whole.
