Synopsis:

One night of complete surrender is all it takes. 

Gareth Harris is Manchester United’s reclusive star defender. He has control over all aspects of his life. But a lifetime of supporting his siblings and filling in for an emotionally absent father has taken its toll. 

Sloan Montgomery is a clothing stylist whose world was turned upside down when she found herself pregnant and moving to Manchester with a man who was never supposed to be her forever. Now recently divorced and struggling with shared custody of her daughter, control is a fleeting concept for this American living in England. 

Both Gareth and Sloan are in need of a release. 

A moment in time where they can forget about their pasts and family pressures...and just... 

…surrender. 

No one could predict what happens when both of their defences are down. 

Surrender is part one of The Final Harris Brother Duet and concludes with Dominate. The Final Harris Brother Duet reads great as a duo, but to maximize enjoyment, check out the first three brothers’ books in Challenge, Endurance, and Keeper.

Review:

I became a fan of Amy Daws from the moment I read Keeper, which is the third book in The Harris Brothers Series. You don't actually need to read this series in order. I read Keeper first and I did not feel lost at all. I did go back and read the previous books because I simply can't get enough of the Harris siblings! I love this family and I have enjoyed every single one of my reading escapes with them.

Gareth Harris has been a mystery this entire series. I wanted to know more about him from the moment I met him in this series. My heart broke for him and I wanted him to find somebody that would heal all of his emotional scars. He's a superstar footballer for a Premier League football team. Sloan Montgomery is a clothing stylist that comes into his life and from the moment he meets her, he's mesmerized. The only problem is that she's married. He tries to keep his distance ... Until one night of passion between them turns his world upside down.

If you are looking for your next unputdownable reading escape, Surrender is that book! It will leave you at the edge of your seat with a heart-stopping cliffhanger and you will cheer for the entire Harris family. I had a wonderful time on this reading journey with Sloan and Gareth. They are so hot together! The entire supporting cast of characters is amazing! These are the kind of characters that I want to find in the stories I read. The kind that linger with you for days after you have turned the last page to their book. If you have not read anything by Amy Daws yet, you're seriously missing out! I can't wait to see what happens in Dominate, which is releasing very soon!

Rating:

I give, Surrender, by Amy Daws, 4.5 intense, sexy, passionate, page-turning stars!

Synopsis:

When romance novelist, Kate Smith suddenly gets writers block as she's beginning the final installment of her international bestselling erotic Bed N Breakfast series, she'll do pretty much anything to get her groove back. 

Like sneak into a Tire Depot waiting room, because her words flow there just like complimentary coffee-smooth, sweet, and scorchingly hot. 

She manages to fly under the radar until the rugged and charming mechanic, Miles Hudson, notices the quirky redhead slinking in and out of the employees only entrance. 

But she's way too intriguing to blow the whistle on. 

Doing a test-drive of her new book idea sounds like a much better option.

From Buzzfeed to Babble to Scary Mommy and even network television—the most anticipated social media viral sensation is LIVE! 

The story of romance writer Amy Daws’ relationship with a little tire shop in South Dakota is a refreshingly fun tale that ends in an auto shop romantic comedy that you have to read! Daws' fans have loved watching this story trend, but more importantly, they are loving this 5-star read about a couple who meet outside of a tire shop...

VIRAL SENSATION 

It all began when Daws went to Tires Tires Tires to get a new set of wheels on her car. She was suffering from writer’s block, but apparently the complimentary coffee and cookies cured her. So she decided to bring in cars of friends and family so she could keep writing in the magical waiting room.  

Her social media musings had her fans in stitches and it wasn't long before inspiration struck again. This time...Daws was to write a sexy romantic comedy about a romance novelist who sneaks into a tire shop and gets caught by a hot mechanic. You can imagine where the love story goes from here.  

Eventually, the little tire shop opened their arms to Daws, even putting her release date on their marquee sign outside.  

It wasn't long before Buzzfeed got wind of it. Then Scary Mommy. Then InspireMore and several other blogs with followers well into the millions. WGN News in Chicago, Fox 10 in Phoenix and Canada Public Radio are all talking about the adorable feel good story of how inspiration can strike in the strangest of places.

Excerpt:

She slaps her hand on her knee and bellows gallantly, “But you know what, Miles, you’re right! I should totally find a random hookup tonight.” 

“Whoa, I never said anything about random.” 

“Well, you’re doing it, so why can’t I?” 

I narrow my eyes. “You don’t seem like the random type.” 

“Maybe I should be.” Her eyes narrow when she leans in and whispers against my lips. “Can I tell you a secret, Miles?” 

“You can tell me anything, Mercedes.” 

She giggles and crooks her finger for me to lean in even closer. I’m so close I can smell the faint scent of her cherry lip gloss, and it’s not helping the half boner having a party in my pants. 

Her lips graze my ear when she whispers, “My writing makes me horny.” 

I nearly choke on my beer. “I’m sorry, what?” 

“My writing makes me horny.” She pulls back and nods her confirmation. “I’m serious. I have a sex toy that works really well and really fast, but I miss the heat of a man, ya know?” 

My eyes scrunch together, and I rub my fingers in the sockets to make sure I’m awake and hearing this all correctly. “I mean…I don’t really ever miss the heat of man, so I don’t think I know exactly what you’re saying.” 

“Fine, the heat of a woman.” She rolls her eyes dramatically “You know what I’m talking about. The heat.” 

I frown and shake my head. “You’re going to have to elaborate because I think of a lot of things when I think of women, but their body temperature isn’t one of them.” 

“You asked for it.” She laughs and leans in so she’s speaking low and soft and directly into my ear. “The heat of a woman is so much more than temperature. It’s the soft, sensual curves of the female form. The way your fingers dig into the meat of her thighs when she’s wrapped around you. Her smooth, sunken tummy when she’s on her back, the delicate bumps of her ribcage when she’s throwing her head back in pleasure. Tight little nipples in pillows of creamy softness. The fact that you could fold yourself around her and envelop her body almost entirely and still want more. You’re saying you don’t miss that kind of heat?” 

I blink slowly, recovering from what just happened. Her voice was a sensual, verbal caress straight on my cock. Then there was the warm heat of her breath on my ear. The deep husk of her tone. The way her warm palm rests softly on my thigh. 

Fucking hell.

Review:

When I heard what Amy Daws was up to for her next book release, I was extremely intrigued and excited! Her writing journey at Tires Tires Tires brought a smile to my face just as much as Kate and Miles story did. What a fun and captivating journey!!!

Kate Smith is an author on a mission. She needs to write the epic conclusion to her Bed N Breakfast series and suffering from writer's block is the last thing she needs. She wants to deliver an unforgettable reading journey to her fans and she ends up finding her creating groove back at Tires Tires Tires. All the words start pouring in and Kate keeps sneaking into the Tire Depot waiting room so she can finish writing her book. The last thing she expected was to catch Miles Hudson's attention. The sexy mechanic is creating a chaotic storm in her heart and it looks like her characters are not the only ones who are getting a HEA. 

Oh my world!! This was such a wonderful reading escape!! My heart is so full of love for this story! Kate and Miles are the kind of couple I love to cheer for. They completely stole my heart from the very beginning. This story delivers all the feels!!! Kate was such a sassy, kind and fun heroine. It was so easy to relate to her. Don't even get me started on Miles. This sexy mechanic with a heart of gold totally left me in a state of mush! Swoon fest guaranteed!!!

The cast of supporting characters in Wait With Me was INCREDIBLE!!! I love when an author makes me connect not only with the main characters, but with the supporting cast as well. The banter between all the characters was extremely entertaining! If you have never read a book by Amy Daws, you're seriously missing out on some incredible reading escapes! I highly recommend Wait With Me because it will deliver such a good dose of vitamin happy.

Author Q&A:

Q: This book says “based on real-life experiences” …what does that mean? 

A: Wellllll…let’s put it this way, the dedication to my book says: This book is inspired by real life events. Except for all the hot and romantic parts. My life is not nearly that exciting. So basically, it’s true that I snuck into a tire shop waiting room to write. And I brought countless friends and family cars in to write, just so I had an excuse to come in. But sadly, there was never a hot mechanic that caught my eye and wanted to jump into a friends-with-benefits situation with me. I’m pretty sure my husband would have wanted me to take a hard pass on an offer like that. ;) 

Q: What inspired you to turn this experience into a story? 

A: Wellllll, my agent initially! I started posting about my Tires Tires Tires excursions on social media and it sort of blew up. Like over 500 reactions to my posts when I was sneaking in…it was crazy. I’d never had so much social media engagement ever! And my agent was like, “Why are you not writing a book about a hot mechanic, Amy!” So, I decided to give it a whirl and let’s just say, the words flowed like that delicious complimentary coffee at TTT. 

Q: Why do you think it flowed so effortlessly? 

A: Well, I’m American and the majority of my books take place in England so that comes with a lot of challenges to make sure I’m writing true to their dialect. Basing Wait With Me in Colorado and using my own dialect was so fun and refreshing. It’s probably why I wrote it so fast! And I took a lot of the same crazy things that happened to me at Tires Tires Tires and used them in the story, so that gave me a great running start on the story. 

Q: Since this book is based on your own experiences, how much is the heroine like yourself? 

A: Kate’s voice is a lot like mine. Her humor, her sass. Her reactions. But honestly, that’s where our similarities end. She’s a redhead from Colorado and her family isn’t very supportive of her career. Super not me! My family is crazy supportive—so her background is truly very different from mine. As the book progressed, she really became her own person. She was super fun though and easy for me to write. 

Q: That cover is HOT! Who is the model? Is it a real Tires Tires Tires mechanic? 

A: Sadly, no. There’s a bunch of fun guys that work at TTT but I see them more as fun uncles…not sexy mechanics. The model is Austin Loes and he lives nearby, so we got to do the shoot in the TTT garage! It was a blast and he is PERFECT for this cover!!! 

Q: Does this book have the potential to become a series? 

A: It does! There’s a couple of fun secondary characters in this novel whose stories I’d love to tell. And the recurring theme in the series would be that all the “meet cutes” happen in various waiting rooms. 

Q: Where can readers catch up on the true-life Tires Tires Tires full story? 

A: I have a fun cliff notes version with pictures on my website: www.amydawsauthor.com/tirestirestires 

Q: Are you still spending your days writing at Tires Tires Tires? 

A: Duh! Complimentary coffee and cookies? I’d be a fool not to! Those guys at TTT have opened their arms to me and I love having a fun and unique writing place to go. It just goes to show that you can find inspiration in the most unlikely places.

Excerpt:

I manage to sneak up beside her as she’s chatting with Vi, and she jumps nearly a foot in the air when she lays eyes on me. 

“Booker!” Vi yells, pulling my focus off of Poppy. She wraps me in a hug. “Fucking aces game, my love. That last save. It was amazing! I can’t wait to watch it on the highlights I recorded at home. Seriously, career best save by far.” 

I smile sheepishly as everyone else gives me a pat on the back, but the one I’m most curious for a reaction from remains silent. When their attention turns to something Rocky does, I step toward Poppy and nudge her with my elbow. 

“Hello.” My voice is quiet as I lean over her, inhaling her scent—a vast improvement from the sweat and dirt wafting off of me. 

“Hello,” she replies, looking up at me as she frowns with a puzzled expression. 

I smirk as I continue to tower over her. “How’d you like the game?” 

Her eyes fixate on my mouth as I lick my lips. As if in some sort of daze, she twitches slightly and swallows. “Good seats.” Her cheeks flame red. 

This amuses me and I have to bite my lip to stop from laughing. Of all the things she could have said after never having seen me play, she comments on the seats. It makes me want to tackle her to the ground and tickle her until she admits how bloody good I am. 

I quirk my brow. “That’s all you have to comment on?” 

“Oh yeah, good game or whatever.” She flicks her wrist in the air like today is any old Saturday and she didn’t just witness my career best save. 

This makes me snicker. She can be stubborn as a mule sometimes. Determined, I straighten my posture, looming over her even more now and trying to silently intimidate her into admission. I want to hear her fucking say it. I want to hear her say I’m great. I’m not usually a cocky sod. My ego isn’t one that needs constant attention. But fuck me, after a game like tonight, I can’t help but want praise from my best friend. 

I pierce her with a challenging look. “Did you really just say whatever?” 

Her tongue swipes across her glossy lips as I move in even closer. She starts twitching and murmurs so low I can barely hear her, “Are you seriously trying to keeper me right now?”

Review:

Keeper, which is the third book of the Harris Brothers Series, is my first read by Amy Daws. It took me no time at all to fall in love with her writing style and the wonderful characters she created. Poppy and Booker completely stole my heart from the very beginning. Finding a new author that delivers all the feels is a bookworm's dream come true! One of my goals for 2017 was to read as many new authors as I could. I'm so glad that I finally got the chance to read a book by Amy Daws. 

Booker Harris lost his best friend six years ago. Things have not been the same without Poppy McAdams by his side. Finding out that Poppy is back is the best news he could ever receive. Booker is determined to keep Poppy by his side. As days go by, Poppy and Booker's friendship develops into something more. Booker needs to make some decisions that will change everything between him and Poppy. Will he be able to step out of his comfort zone and give love a chance?

Best friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes in romance. I love to read about beautiful friendships that bloom into heart-melting love stories. Poppy and  Booker's love journey gave me all the feels! Their chemistry was crazy intense and their love was absolutely beautiful.  Booker was a swoony hero that made me melt! He grew so much as a character. I felt like his life completely changed because of Poppy's love. I absolutely loved Poppy! She's the kind of heroine I love to cheer for. Her confidence and her bubbly personality captivated me from the first moment she was introduced in the story.

This story was a fantastic reading journey that also had an amazing cast of supporting characters. Booker's siblings are fantastic! I can't wait to read all of their stories. I absolutely loved the family bond that they share and I look forward to reading Gareth's story. He's super intriguing! I loved every moment of my reading journey and highly recommend Keeper.

Rating:

I give, Keeper, by Amy Daws, 4.5 swoony, captivating, heart-melting, sexy, falling for your best friend stars!
