Sweet Surrendering (Surrender Saga #1) by Chelsea M. Cameron





Sweet Surrendering 

(Surrender Saga #1) 
by 
Chelsea M. Cameron
Pub October 15th 2013 
by Author Self Pub 
ARC for Review 

Summary
She’s his boss. He doesn’t care. This office isn’t big enough for the two of them…

When Rory Clarke ends up hiring the guy she spent one steamy night with to be her administrative assistant, she's determined to keep things professional.

Lucas Blaine has other plans for her. He wants Rory, and it’s hard to resist his stunning blue eyes, chin dimple and the way he fills out a suit. Everywhere she looks, there he is, giving her a panty-melting smile and pulling her away for the most amazing (and satisfying) sex she’s ever had in her life.

What starts off as one sexual encounter turns into multiple trysts in and out of the office and the lines she’d tried to draw so carefully are blurring. But the closer they get, the more Rory realizes that there are things about Lucas she doesn’t know, things he’s hiding from her. She’ll have to decide if she can surrender to her feelings or get out while she still can.








The Way I See It
OMG that was the sweetest read ever! Congrats go out to Ms. Cameron Sweet Surrendering was delightful, fun, and carefree! The author did an amazing job of keeping the reader in the dark till every thing that needed to come out did. I kept trying to figure things out but kept coming out blank. I hope to see a second story in this series, I hope this becomes a series. Cameron held nothing back in making me want more. I fell in love with all of the characters instantly and I hope to see more from them.


S-

W-
ork, Rory has to find a new assistant but people keep her at arms length and she cannot seem to find the right candidate.
E-
ars, the board has heard many good things about a certain applicant it seems that Rory can’t escape the pushy yet sexy guy who presented himself to her just a few days ago.
E-
vening, going out with her friends is something Rory truly enjoys but when a sexy stranger(she has met before) crashes in on her evening all Rory can do is give in to her desires.
T-
ryst, the attraction Rory feels for Lucas is uncanny and she is putty in his hands. Every logical thought says don’t do it, but Rory cannot control what Lucas does to her.


S-
exy, casual interactions must be all that Rory and Lucas share, but it is so hard Rory is left blind trying to understand her feelings.
U-
nknown, Rory’s Parents are focused on a certain love interest, but Rory remembers her childhood friend and she knows there is not a single ounce of attraction.
R-

E-
ntrusted, Rory’s friends are the foundation of her happiness. Everyone wants her to be happy but she is afraid of the plunge.
R-
esentment, when confronted by Lucah’s past Rory doesn’t know if she can trust him again.
I-
mmeasurable, no amount of apologies can take away the pain Rory feels. Lucah never thought this would happen but with matters of the heart there is no controlling the inevitable.
N-
ews, the shock that barrels through the office will affect everyone. Lucah has broken free of his ties and secrets, nothing can keep him from pursuing and loving Rory with all of his heart.
G-
alla, everything has come together and Rory could not have asked for a better outcome. Through plenty of pain the love that fills her heart makes everything worth while.


Sweet, sweet, sweet, Cameron has a way of telling an awesome romantic and fun love story. I’ve enjoyed reading a few of her books, her writing is fun light and engaging. Cameron’s characters jump off the pages and have lives of their own. Several times I’ve made comparisons to her characters and my actual friends. I will continue to follow this author as she has proven her talent to me. Sweet Surrender certainly was sweet and I completely surrendered!

Cover Reveal: Deep Surrendering by Chelsea Cameron


Deep Surrendering 
(Episode 1) 
by 
Chelsea M. Cameron

March 2014

BOOK SUMMARY 
She's all about rules. He lives by none but his own. When these two meet, the results could be disastrous.
When Marisol Everly’s friend Rory sets her up with Fin Herald, Marisol doesn't expect that it will amount to anything, but that was before she saw Fin's searing blue eyes and mischievous smile. Not to mention, he seems absolutely fascinated by her mundane life. He's everything that a girl could want, but there's something else that ripples under the surface of his flirty behavior. Something darker. Something that fascinates Marisol, but scares her at the same time. Is she willing to risk falling into an abyss she might not get out of?


Excerpt
“So what are you going to do about it?” He pulled me closer as we barreled through the streets.
“I’m going to pay attention to the things that matter. Like this.” His hand went under my chin and pulled my face up. “I’m going to pay attention to you, and the way the sun catches the darker streaks in your hair, the pink in your cheeks and your beautiful eyes. That’s what I’m going to pay attention to right here, right now.”
I nearly melted off my seat.
“But you don’t even know me,” I said. This was too much, too fast. Even though I’d been hearing about him from Rory, I still didn’t really know what mattered. The important things. Life was all about the little details.
Like if he was a morning person, what his favorite breakfast cereal was, what song did he always get stuck in his head, how was his relationship with his mother.
He shrugged one shoulder and pulled my face closer.
“I know that right now I’m paying very close attention to your lips and I’d like to pay even closer attention to them…” I turned my head at the last moment, so he missed and got my cheek.
“I’m sorry,” I said, hoping he wouldn’t hate me. “I have a no kiss on the first date rule.” It sounded even worse out loud. I sounded like some sort of stick-up-her-ass prude.
“No kiss on the first date?” Fin said, turning his head to the side as if he was fascinated by me.
“Is that a problem?” God, I hoped not.
He grinned at me and flicked my hair over my shoulder.
“Not at all.”

Release Day Blitz & Review: My Sweetest Escape by Chelsea M. Cameron(My Favorite Mistake, #2)





My Sweetest Escape

by 
Chelsea M. Cameron 
My Favorite Mistake, #2 
January 28th, 2014 
by Harlequin HQN 



The past will always find you.

Jos Archer was the girl with the perfect life; until the night it all came crashing down around her. Now, nine months later, she still hasn't begun to pick up the pieces. Even transferring to a new college and living under the watchful eye of her older sister, Renee, isn't enough to help her feel normal again.

And then she meets Dusty Sharp. For reasons Jos can't begin to fathom, the newly reformed campus bad boy seems determined to draw her out of her shell. And if she's not careful, his knowing green eyes and wicked smile will make her feel things she's no longer sure she deserves.

But even as Dusty coaxes Jos to open up about the past, he's hiding secrets of his own. Secrets about the night her old life fell apart. When the truth is finally revealed, will it bring them closer together;or tear them apart for good?







The Way I See It

Okay WOW!! This one was quite the emotional ride! Ms Cameron KILLED IT! I thought I loved My Favorite Mistake and it would be tough to beat but NOPE. My Sweetest Escape was just as alluring and captivating as I've come to expect from Cameron! I was beyond thrilled to see all of my favorite characters from the first book all thriving and living well. Jos which is short for Joscelyn, that is the name of my un-conceived daughter btw. Anyway, as I was saying Jos goes to live with her sister Renee I was curious about the family dynamic. NAILED IT! All of the interactions between everyone in the household were honest and felt very real. It reminded me of my friends everyone has there roll and together we make an awesome force to be reckoned with. I could not put this down and I devoured it in one sitting. There wasn't a single moment where I didn't feel a desperate need to know what was going to happen next. Let me tell you things don't get hot and heavy till nearly the end but Dusty and Jos' feelings for each other are palpable. 

M-usic, has become her only reprieve from the pain that haunts her daily.
Y-oungest, Jos goes to live with her sister and feels surrounded by mothers and fathers.

S-urly, Renee cannot understand what happened to the girl she grew up with so perfect and sure of herself.
W-ithdrawn, Dusty tries to reach Jos but she has pulled away from everyone.
E-ngulfed, surrounded by new people in a whirlwind of change Jos will embrace the new challenge but remain guarded.
E-scape, Jos keeps a happy secret to herself she is afraid to open up for fear of not being accepted.
T-emptation, Dusty is attracted to Jos but he cannot allow himself to go there.
E-vade, Jos knows she has feelings for Dusty but her past is keeping her from embracing that happiness.
S-ecrets, both Jos and Dusty have a heavy heart, with dark pasts it continues to haunt them.
T-orn, between what is "right" and what his heart tells him Dusty cannot seem to get a moments rest.

E-nglish, a class she was sure she would hate, Jos will shine as soon as she lets go.
S-urprise, Jos' friend Hannah will be the one to save her from herself. More than once, she has integrated herself and become essential to Jos.
C-harm, Napoleon(cutest kitten ever) will become Dusty's greatest weapon.
A-ccept, the truth is out it is more haunting than anyone could have imagined. Two souls were destined to collide.
P-arty, the time has come for pasts and presents to meet. Love is the greatest gift of all and all we can do is embrace it and live it. 
E-scape, the nightmares of the past have morphed into an acceptance of what life can be. No one knows the future but capturing the present builds the moments that will make it happier.

OKAY is it asking to much to want more? Maybe, call me selfish or whatevs but I'm not ready. This was another broken boy meets broken girl but just like chocolate and ice cream...I love it every time! What can I say I a sucker for fun love. Cameron keeps the steam toned down but the tension is heavy. Over all I enjoyed this story a great deal. I'm looking forward to more. I've got the fever baby and the only cure is more Chelsea M. Cameron books. ;)


My Rating

4.0 Headphones, Love Couples, Yellowfield House, A cappella, Green Eyes, Frat House, Skittles, M&M's, Bull Moose, New Socks, Broken Glass, Snow Fight, Confrontation, Confession, Celebration, Acceptance, Love filled stars. For a great escape pick up this series!

Synopsis

They're finally together. But the Universe seems intent on tearing them apart…

Rory Clarke might not be Lucah Blythe's boss anymore, but that doesn't mean they can sneak off to the boardroom for hot sex whenever they want. Keeping their hands off each other in the workplace is harder than they could have imagined, and that's not the only obstacle they have to deal with. Between Lucah's troublesome brother Ryder, and Rory's bff Sloane's inability to understand locked doors, they're drowning in drama.

But it's only about to get a lot worse when a blast from Lucah's past surfaces, and chaos at Clarke Enterprises threatens to take away everything Rory has worked so hard for. Can the couple weather the storm and surrender to each other, or will the challenges of staying together destroy their relationship for good?

GR's Summary:

Two secrets. One bet. Who will break first?

Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.

On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, so she needs him gone before it's too late.

Hunter himself has been burned before, but Taylor's sexy laugh and refusal to let him get away with anything make her irresistible. Determined not to be kicked out of her life without a fight, Hunter proposes a bet: if she can convince him she either truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment;and leave her alone.

But when the man behind Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.




My Favorite Mistake Series:



Lindy's Thoughts:


I've been wanting to read, My Favorite Mistake, ever since I saw the original book cover, read the blurb, and many reviews about it from people that enjoyed it.  I love the new book cover even more than the original.  I think it's sexy, and am a fan of black and white book covers with a splash of color.  Taylor is beginning her sophomore year of college, living with her good friends Renee and Darah.  They lost their fourth roommate, and have already agreed that the new roommate will share a room with Taylor, because Renee and Darah already shared a room with each other the previous year.  The girls are shocked when they learn that Hunter, a male student, is going to be their new roommate.  

Taylor has a crazy reaction to meeting Hunter.  She automatically decides that she doesn't him, and is determined to get a new room mate.  At times, Taylor came across as a bit overly dramatic, and having some anger issues.  Hunter is a bit of a contradiction, because on one hand he loves to push her buttons.  However, he can also be very charming, flirty, and thoughtful.  It is obvious that Taylor and Hunter had a mutual attraction, even though Taylor does everything she can to fight it.  Hunter is use to girls falling all over him, and Taylor is a complete enigma to him, which makes him highly interested in finding out more about her.   Hunter wants a truce between himself and Taylor, so he proposes a bet.  If Taylor can prove that she either, "loves" or "hates" him, he will leave at the end of the school semester.  

Hunter was a great character.  In fact, he was my favorite aspect of the story!  He was funny, flirty, witty, and charming.  Even though he had previously been a womanizer, once he fell for Taylor, (which was immediately,) he was only interested in getting her into a relationship with him.  I enjoyed the back and forth banter between Taylor and Hunter.  It was like they had their own special way of communicating,  and were very in sync with each other's thoughts and actions.  This story was fast-paced.  I loved the suspense and mystery behind both Taylor and Hunter.  They both had dark secrets, that they didn't want to share. Taylor's secret was pretty easy to figure out.  Hunter's secret was a complete surprise to me.

The secondary characters were a lot of fun, and took on a life of their own.  Many of my favorite parts of the story included all of the friends hanging out, cooking a meal and eating together, going dancing, and just having a good time together.   Hunter and Taylor had a very unique relationship, but it worked for them.  The made each other smile, laugh, and have fun.  Most importantly, they found a support system in each other.  They each became very protective, loyal, caring, and compassionate to each other.  The sexual chemistry, intense attraction, and anticipation between Taylor and Hunter was very H-O-T!  I wanted Taylor to stop being so stubborn, and admit how she felt about Hunter.

There were a few cliches in this story.  We are dealing with another innocent girl, and experienced guy.  The storyline wasn't very unique to a lot of New Adult books that I have read, and at times Taylor's character bothered me with how she acted towards Hunter.  However, it was still an enjoyable and quick read.  If you are looking for an easy, fun, and quick story, My Favorite Mistake is a good choice.             

My Rating:


I give, My Favorite Mistake, by Chelsea M. Cameron, 3.5 Fast-Paced, Fun, and enjoyable stars.  Hunter stole the show in this story.  You will love this charming, flirty, and unpredictable man.  I loved how he was kind, caring, and devoted to Taylor.  He cooked for her, wrote songs for her, surprised her numerous times, and broke through her hard exterior.  He proved that no matter what, he was going to be there for Taylor.  Hunter was indeed swoon-worthy.  I loved that Taylor made huge character growth, and went through such a positive transformation.  Taylor and Hunter both were pretty broken people, but they helped each other find happiness, love, and hope for a bright future!





My Favorite Quotes:


" 'You said you didn't like me.'  'I don't like you.  I don't like how your hair smells and how I can't stop thinking about waking up and seeing your face.  I hate how my bed felt empty when you left.  I don't like how good you were with my family, especially Harper, and how I wanted to see you with them again, but not just as a guest.  As a member.  You're right.  I don't like you at all.' " (eARC, Loc. 1848)


" 'Taylor, look at me.  Please.'  Damn.  If only he didn't say please.  'I can't promise not to make you mad.  I can't promise that I won't hurt you.  All I can promise is that I want you in my life, and I'll do anything to keep you there.' "  (eARC, Loc. 2007)


"He took a breath.  'I want you.  Right now.  If you said yes, I would kiss you.  I would kiss you until we both forgot that lips were made for anything other than kissing.  I'd take you out of that outfit, as cute as it is.  I want to see what you look like with nothing on.  I want to make you sigh like you did with the cake.  I want to be with you.  Right now.' "  (eARC, Loc. 2679)







The Way Ria Sees it

Guess What?!!


I ALSO have A FAVORITE MISTAKE! Gah!! When I saw this book I was like NO WAY! I say that all the flipping time... and yep, ladies and gents, he has a NAME... My Favorite mistake comes in the form of one Chris Johnson. He is a Running Back for the Tennessee Titans. Long Story. I am not gonna go into particulars but I knew I had to read this book.

So glad I did and its a series! Eeeeep! Cant wait to read more.

My Fav mistake was fun, flirty and free. FFF. Its NA College and two broken people finding love. I fell in love with the main characters right away! From the first page to the last Hunter and Taylor kept me smiling.

M-issy, cold and closed off Taylor pushes away anyone who tries to get close.
Y-ielding, unable to change her schools housing assignments, Taylor must bide her time.

F-riends, as much as Taylor wants to fight Hunter he is breaking her resolve.
A-ss, a mask that Hunter uses to protect himself from his heart.
V-ulnerable, two kindred spirits fight tooth and nail against the inevitable. 
O-rchards, Hunter takes Taylor a bit further into his heart and she meets his family.
R-ealization, the tension becomes too much and what once was a strong facade shatters to pieces. 
I-gniting, passion, tenderness, kindness, and love Taylor permits Hunter a little further into her heart.
T-reasure, Hunter knows he has to tread lightly so he will do what he can to win Taylor over.
E-xplosion, curiosity overtakes Taylor and Hunter hurts her in a way he will never forgive himself for. 

M-easured, without her, Hunter can’t breath. He will win her over the best way he knows how. Opening his heart. Knowing it’s time he strips his soul raw and shows her his demons.
I-ncarcerated a nightmare becomes Taylor’s reality. The time approaches that she will have to face a monster.
S-ister, Tawny and Taylor are both victims but one feels responsible for the other. Their love for each other has mended but the wound was too deep to fully heal.
T-ough, for so long Taylor has trained and prepared for this now that the moment arrives it feels as though the walls are closing in .
A-lone, having never let anyone in Taylor is surprised to see how large her support system truly is. At the very top Hunter the one she fought the hardest.
K-nife, words practiced and rehearsed cannot erase the pain and the agony. It’s up to Taylor how deeply her soul was cut due to that monster.
E-mbrace, their love and their friends. Taylor is tired of running. Hunter caught her and will show her how great it can be.

Yes, Yes

 broken boy + broken girl= a fixing loving great FUN romance. 

Sans the RAUNCH;0) as in “raunchy” no crazy sexy steamy scenes but lots of fun flirting tension and a dash of drama. This isn’t some soul-bending, mind-altering read but what it is, is a light and entertaining read with characters you would want to fight for!



My Fav’s *not mistakes ;)

Taylor/Missy
Yea yea, she was a B but she OWNED it I love that about her one of my besties is like that...Lol, once your in though her love is fierce! Taylor is the same way! I love the family dynamic she had with her sister and mom. EVERYthing about Taylor felt real and solid.

Hunter
He fights it too but I knew behind all of the “assery” there was an amazing guy looking for the right girl to give his heart to. The times he was kind funny and caring I was like WOO HOO! “Pay attention Taylor! This could be YOU!!” He stops fighting it and piece by piece he give his heart to the right girl.


My Wish

I want Blaire(Taylor’s Mom) to find happiness. After everything she has had to go through...Her girls suffering, her divorce. I guess she seemed happy enough in the book she felt a bit lonely and if you know me you I want everyone to be happy happy happy.

My Rating

4.0 Footlocker, Missy, Guitar, Quarter, Broken Desk, Chandelier, Southern Drawl, Ariel and Eric, Rum and Coke, Purse boy, Tipped Recliner, Peacock Apology, Castle tour, Court House, Guitar Photo, Solid embrace, More than the stars, Falling and having some one to catch you filled stars. For a light fast paced read pick up this book.
