Surrender to Me, which is Arabella and Hunter’s story, has been my most anticipated read for this entire series. I knew it would be a rough one to read and it was, but it was also beautiful. The tough topics of what Arabella experienced were handled with grace. I spent so much of this book in tears, but every single tear was worth it.

Bella and Hunter were high school sweethearts, they had plans for the future together. Until one single moment in their senior year of college changed the course of their lives for the next ten years. There is so much love and chemistry between the two of them. Even a decade apart didn’t change that. There is still so much between them and nothing has changed as far as their connection goes.

Bella….my heart broke for her. But she is a survivor. She is a fighter. She experienced something no one ever should. She lost herself in that darkness and it changed who she was, but I loved that she also had a great support system (even if they didn’t know what happened) who was there for her and there to help her come back out of her shell. Hunter, I felt for him because his world was shattered and he didn’t even why. His love never changed for Bella though.

This story is absolutely beautiful and it was beautifully written. You can easily feel every single ounce of emotion in these characters.

If you’re looking for an emotional, small town, second chance romance this is one to read.
