Description

THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SURRENDER TRILOGY

In her sensational Breathless Trilogy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks tested the boundaries of desire. In her new trilogy, there’s only one thing left to do: cross them. And never have the consequences of erotic exploration been so irresistibly inviting, so shockingly intimate, and so totally unexpected…

LETTING GO

Josslyn found perfection once, and she knows she’ll never find it again. Now widowed, she seeks the one thing her beloved husband couldn’t give her: dominance. Lonely, searching for an outlet for her grief and wanting only a brief taste of the perfection she once enjoyed, she seeks what she’s looking for at an exclusive club that caters to people indulging in their most hedonistic fantasies. She never imagined that what she’d find would be the one man who’s long been a source of comfort—and secret longing. Her husband’s best friend.

Dash has lived in an untenable position for years: in love with his best friend’s wife but unwilling to act on that attraction. He’d never betray his best friend. And so he’s waited in the wings, offering Joss unconditional support and comfort as she works past her grief, hoping for the day when he can offer her more.

When he finds her in a club devoted to the darker edges of desire, he’s furious because he thinks she has no idea what she’s getting herself into. Until she explains in detail what it is she wants. What she needs. As realization sets in, he is gripped by fierce, unwavering determination. If she wants dominance, he is the only man who will introduce her to that world. He is the only man who will touch her, cherish her…love her. And the only man she’ll ever submit to.

Good base storyline, Joss is a widow and her husband's best friend, Dash has been in love with her forever. A relationship develops between the two which, is unlike the one Joss had with her husband. Dash shows Joss a whole new BDSM world. Unfortunately, there is so much redundancy with thoughts and dialogue that it would have been better as a shorter book instead of stretching it out.
Too much repetitive pondering

Half of this book is the characters endlessly musing to themselves about how much they need to be dominant or submissive, how much they need each other, their emotional status, etc. Then another quarter of the book is them repetitively saying these thoughts to each other and to their friends. It easily could have been 150 pages instead of 400 and had the same impact.

I really resented paying $10 for this book and won’t be buying anything else from this author.

Too much writing about thoughts and feelings without a good plot and dialogue between characters. Sex scenes hot, but nothing to pull it together. Boring, did not finish the book.

I loved this book, the storyline is very believable and offers a delicate balance for all the characters. I loved how the characters were allowed to make mistakes and truly feel real and human; finally i loved the ending, because I'm a sucker for a happy ending, at times things were a bit predictable, but i still enjoyed the predictable aspects as they demonstrate the nature of people, loved the book- thanks for a great read.

Waste of Time and Money

Do not waste your time with this. They spend more time talking about sex than actually having it. The build up is slow and the writing is horrible. Who talks about sex with their dead husband when another man is on top of them?
